STAND rule botch up again ended the game as a contest. seriously, can we cut it mid-season? It solves a problem that doesn't exist and just occupies the umpires mind constantly so they can't actually think and make decisions properly. Umpiring has definitely got worse with STAND dumb dumb dumb

Sure, not everyone, but plenty want to see heritage retained. Read the comments in this link- not many, but a reasonable cross-section of the responses of the Richmond and Melbourne community view on this. Plenty very upset...

Reno we could have had done by now. Demo on the other hand… 100 million and counting, bloody lol

Well that’s what you get when you come up with a plan to demolish a heritage stand valued by the community around it! Geez if only people around here could have suggested there was a smarter way… This blow out to 100m is just getting us to the starting line, further blow outs can happen...

When Tom Stewart king-hit Prestia, the umpires let the game go on nearly over his head for the cats to score a goal. The umpires compounded the disgrace of Stewart’s act. Game needs to be stopped, but have to watch for exploitation…pretty low thing to exploit

200 million? Provide evidence please? All we know is that the current plan remains only partially funded. If RFC members don't cough up the shortfall....? (and that's before any (almost inevitable) cost blowouts.) So what happens then? RFC goes into debt in a ~7% interest rate environment...

yes, so sad, as he was very influential early doors last night you never know which way it's going to go, Josh Caddy was similarly a bit fragile when we got him from the Cats, but he helped kick off a dynasty for us!

Moving like he did in the 2018 prelim..

yep, exactly the situation we faced end-2009, we managed to moneyball our way to a dynasty despite the GCS GWS concessions back then, a miracle in itself, but would be a double miracle to do it again with the Tassy concessions. that's the way the cookie crumbles I guess. Taranto and Hopper can...

oh damn, so then they fit right in for FFs! FF-FA differentials might be a shock to their system however, I suspect

Wonder what Hopper and Taranto think about the umpiring of Richmond compared to their former club? Opposition team given 100% more free kicks last night. Again. Opposition players are more likely to get cited for a high hit than are Hopper, Taranto and co. likely to get a high contact FKs...

'We will stymie Benny Gale's bid for CEO, and give it to you, but there are a few rules you have to follow...' (possible convo Gill to Dillon, circa 2022)

Exactly. 100% spot on. The 'leaving punt road' stuff was dross from a very small section of our community highly invested in demolishing the old stand. Fair enough if you are pro-demolish, but seriously, pull the other one re. RFC leaving PRO under any circumstances! As I have said many times...

RCD's 'best games'?! Manufactured memories?....RCD's 'best games' were against Sandringham! RCD never remotely produced what Dow produced last night, on a big night, in the big league. Well, since you said something ridiculous, I'm going to say something ridiculous - Was getting some weird...

when was the last time Martin was a midfield game changer?! no need to invoke some mystery injury, much more likely that Dusty checked out a while ago. see the likes of Pendlebury mentioned above, but Pendles is one in a million, has a hunger for relentless success/excellence that just isn't...
