So either...
A. You don't get football
B. You're trolling
C. You need to explain
If it's...
A. He's very good
B. Eh, get a life
C. There's a few of these opinions out there. Usually when people say "I don't rate Bont that much" or "Pendles isn't that good", or "player x from my team is better than player y from your team", I put them in one of the above categories and to honest, it's usually A. But I'm happy to hear your logic.

He just looks so good at what he does. The acid is on him now to translate than into being a great.
AFLX will be really good

Must have missed the game vs North last year, and the one against Sydney this year, and the one against Melbourne in his first year, and the one against Gold Coast in his second...
Not many players are going to look favourable when compared to Judd at 20-22. In fact pretty much none. He was probably the best and most impactful under 23 player ever. A bit of a ridiculous comparison.
Cam Pedersen's is the worst bar none. Imagine being called "Pedo" all the time, surely must be a bit traumatising

I think you've taken maybe his greatest strength and listed it as his weakness. He is far and away the biggest match winner in the team and he consistently stands up when needed. He is absolute clutch.
This article from 2016 is about his last quarters in close games:

His weakness last season was starting games slowly... his second halves were much better than his first halves

Yes, they did and it was bloody terrible. There's some footage of it on the World of Sport DVD. Unwatchable.

That Richmond should have dumped George Pell after Royal Commission. That seems pretty unpopular at the moment

They have forgot the Lions too and they have languished. They had the potential to be big, if the AFL truly invested time and money in them.

They need to do either one of two things
a) more of an NFL system where who plays who is set it stone depending on where you finish so each ladder position always plays the same teams
b) play everyone the same times repeatedly. Maybe you get a tough dtaw one year, maybe an easy one the next, but in 10 years you play every one 14-15 times or whatever it is.
