Was Pykey in charge of the camp though? That might have been a Burton and Roo job.

Don't spoil my narrative mate!

Birdbrains idea wasn't it?

It's everybody's fault! Keep them on their toes.

Oscar Allen the Rising Star this week.

I like Tom Richardson. Die hard Crows fan as you said, but unlike 99% of them actually has some healthy cynicism and a sense of humour about himself.

I'll take your word for that, gave up on him a long time ago. He tried hard but was obvious despite himself.

Shocked mildly surprised to learn he hasn't already had one.

An excellent tongue in cheek article:

The coastal city soon to be formally known as the Gold Coast looks set to get a facelift this year.

Rare event this weekend games.

Tom Morris on On The Couch reckons Adelaide has told other clubs that all their older players are up for trade - Betts, Jenkins, Jacobs etc. - because they need to rejuvenate their list.

Translation: Adelaide had to overpay to get Sloane to stay in 2018 and they need a salary cap dump because they legitimately thought they were going to win the flag this year and Betts would retire alongside Douglas and McKay.

It's going to be salary cap dump with guys like Betts and Jenkins - s**t picks in a s**t draft.

 

[Grave Danger]

Last 2 rounds of the season is the first time Richmond will have met WCE and Brisbane - both at the MCG conveniently for them. Four of their seven-in-a-row MCG games to finish the minor round will have been against non-Victorian teams.

They may want to sell, but who'd want to buy?

Old, big contract, here have out 1st round pick?

Kid is a absolute beauty just what they need another key forward lol

 

[Magus]

They should trade Ted to the GC. That'd be gold.

This was actually attempted a while back.

Especially with Betts, no disrespect to the man but he is at a stage where he needs a zimmer frame. The only way forward realistically is for a coaching role but if i were a team eyeing him off i would wait for retirement.

I've worked through it a bit and win both games we finish 7th and play GWS, win 1 game we finish 8th and play Collingwood, win neither we miss out.

West Coast - the reigning premiership team - have played 2 top 8 teams since round 6. Lol.

 

[Ports1870]

Just thinking, if we make it would we rather play Collingwood or GWS? (This is assuming Richmond keeps winning and secures Top 4)

Probably Collingwood. Once GWS get Coniglio, Kelly and a few others back for finals, they'll be difficult to stop. Collingwood are just going at the moment and would be ripe for the picking similar to what they were when we beat them in 2013.

If we win this week, and results fall our way there could be a scenario going into the last game where winning will give us 7th and losing will give us 8th. If we perhaps really wanna play 5th we could strategically lose this game. Very dangerous though as you don’t want losing form going into finals.

 

[Jones2ByrneJones]

So Richmond are on a 7 game winning streak with 2 games go.

Remember the last time Richmond won 9 in a row before finals?
