Lance Franklin, Jarryd Roughead, Josh Kennedy, Jack Riewoldt & Tom Hawkins.
All 5 players were Coleman medal winners and premiership players. All 5 were born within 18 months of each other. I think most would have Franklin number 1 but interested to see how the others are ranked:
1. Lance...
Then what do you call it when a team has to play 16 games straight on the road to win the premiership?
I’d call it damn impressive. And it’s certainly silenced a lot of the detractors that used that weak argument last year.
Richmond won 13 games outside their home state this year. Has that...
With the decade coming to a close it's crazy to look back on where Richmond were when it started. We went into 2010 an absolute rabble. We'd had 4 club champions retire after a disaterous 2009 which saw Terry Wallace sacked. With Cotchin, Riewoldt, Martin, Rance and Edwards yet to prove...
Honestly can’t remember the last time a team came from that far down to win a GF. 29 points down in the first.
How far back do we need to go to top that? 1998 Crows never got that far behind.
Do we have to go back to 1970? Maybe 1982?
Awesome effort Eagles!
Now we’re out who are you jumping on for the rest of the year?
I’m going the Eagles. Don’t mind the Dees but West Coast have been good this year. I think they legitimately could’ve beaten us at the G if they still had Gaff and Nic Nat.
Dees need to hurt a bit more before they break through IMO
In past years there was maybe 2 or 3 in the running at absolute best. This year, I’ve got no idea. Leaning towards Jack but Dusty, Cotchin, Lambert, Grimes and Rance would all be contenders too.
Edit: forgot Edwards. He’s probably top 2-3
Congraulations to Dimma who notched up his 100th coaching victory against the Swans on Thursday night. He joins Jack Dyer and Tom Hafey as the only other tigers to notch up the ton.
See thread title. Which coaches will be given the arse this year?
I can't see Richardson surviving. Into his 5th year and St Kilda have started the season in terrible form. Very little development or improvement in the side under his watch.
Buckley surely can't survive. Into his 7th season and...
Obviously a Richmond premiership was going to upset a lot of people, so I've decided to create a thread where we can dump any salty comments from fans who are still experiencing bottom pains from our ascent to greatness last weekend. Whether they're crying tears over their finals humiliation...
Good to see the team with the best record in the AFL this year walk away premiers. Doesn't always work out like that.
1st Richmond: 18-7
2nd Adelaide: 17-7-1
3rd Geelong: 16-8-1
4th GWS: 15-8-2
5th Sydney: 15-9
6th West Coast: 13-11
7th Port Adelaide: 14-9
8th Essendon: 12-11
They beat 15/17...
Kennedy was clearly BOG. Johanissen butchered it quite a bit.
There's only been 4 winners on the losing team, but the last one was 11 years ago now. He was never a chance with Brad Johnson as one of the 5 selectors though.
How is this even legal?

No.

Oh * yes EAD Pies.
At least the loss will give the Pies a better draft pick. Oh wait, no it won't because they traded it for Treloar lmao. Lmao Treloar you picked the wrong club mate. Suck a dick. Maybe if you ask nicely Taylor Adams might let you watch when he *s your girlfriend tonight...

So far Dustin Martin has improved his disposal count every year he's been in the league.
2010: 20.2
2011: 22.1
2012: 22.3
2013: 24.2
2014: 25.5
2015: 26.0
2016: 28.5 so far
So unless he has a form slump that's 7 years of continuous improvement. Does anybody know of players that did something...
Does anybody else watch this? It started out as a series of college humor short videos but got picked up and turned into a half-hour TV show. Very interesting show which debunks common myths in a comedic way (and they even list their sources on screen). The host Adam Conover might not be to...
They're really pushing the feel good story but it makes the league look second rate. 3 years ago he'd never heard of the sport and now he's performing at the highest level. Now every club will be sending recruiters to the U.S. combine to try and find the next failed college athlete to come and...
The game has changed.
With the new interchange rule the game is much more free flowing and attacking than in previous seasons. Fatigue sets in and teams can't maintain that Ross Lyon type pressure where they lock the ball down and control the game. This was out strength last year and now that...
I'm not sure why Geelong thought he was cooked. He averaged 20.6 disposals and kicked 30 goals in 20 games last year.
This year he's been even better and is currently dominating Hawthorn with 4 goals to half time. Given Geelong are pushing for a premiership this year, you would think they...
I reckon they'd be a good shot at top 4. Exceptionally good forward-line and strong all over the ground.

I haven't seen much discussed about this, but for me this is the biggest scandal of the round. With 10.36 remaining in the third quarter of the Adelaide-Richmond game, Anthony Hudson referred to Taylor Walker as....

Why do we screw around with our list so much in the opening rounds? Every year we make stupid changes at the start of the year that cost us games.
-Newman up forward
-Martin to half back
-Morris as a forward
-Toy around with 3 talls before dropping Griff when it's not working
-Drop Tuck because...
I'm surprised this hasn't been talked about more, but with the interchange limit being cut back to 90, is it going to have an effect on certain clubs?
I originally thought clubs that use a hard running, fast moving game plan would struggle (doggies, port), but so far they've been doing well...
Probably should make a thread rather than derailing the trailers thread. Perhaps the mods could move the discussion too.
Anyway, up to 300,000 dislikes and only half as many likes on YouTube. Looks like Sony have goofed hard and alienated a huge percentage of their audience. Even if they make a...
