Cholly is so beautiful to watch....such grace, poise, cunning....the way he moves and kicks the ball...even his tap work is so delicate....poetry in motion....he is developing beautifully...

But what sucks for 2 phones is that he will be ruled out because of injury......

If Lynch tackled someone to the floor in a bar, he'd be arrested. Both for the tackle and for breaking the lockdown.

This head rub was on a football field to a player in a team that was wanting to rile Lynch up. Different rules apply.

They were into him all night trying to physically intimidate him. Plus they run their mouth more than any other team in the comp. Pretenders.

Just a little head rub to give Witherden some encouragement. Should be lauded in the media for his sportsmanship
 
Dylan Grimes technically in the last decade
we stole him in the Pre-Season Draft ...wasn’t even selected in the draft proper
I'm ok with Baker dropping to #2.
 
Must be under the Chris Scott pay card... what a salty campaigner

Whateley and Chris Scott are good friends, that`s why Whateley is conflicted on changing the rules.

Remember the "look of the game" stuff in 2018?

It`s no coincidence that Chris Scott, Gerard Whateley and Steve Hocking all had the same messaging and slogans in the media.

Gerard needs to admit this conflict when talking about changing the rules of the game, but he doesn`t.

This is part of a Herald Sun article in August 2018...


At first glance broadcaster Gerard Whateley seemed out of place clasping his glass of red in the bowels of the Geelong football department after a win at Kardinia Park last season.

In an area usually reserved for players, coaches and the club’s wealthiest backers, Whateley and Cats coach Chris Scott were locked deep in conversation.

“They’re an odd couple, but once you thought about it, it all made sense,” a former club official recalled this week.

“Chris is very close to Whateley. He understands who the powerful units are around the place and he keeps them close to him. He loves being on AFL360.


“It’s a pretty canny move.”

More of that GWS, godees imitation tough guy s**t. And when they do it against a genuine tough team with talent, they disappear faster than Robbo's pre-show six pack.
 

Given just how extraordinary and unprecedented are the circumstances surrounding this AFL season, it's hard to believe anyone could have a sense of déjà vu.
But that's exactly what many of us must be feeling about Richmond right now.
Once again, the Tigers have struggled through a patch of poor form.
Once again, they've lost a heap of important players either through injury or, this time, unavailability.
And yes, once again, they've come out the other side of those problems looking more ominous than ever.
Tuesday night's emphatic dismissal of a supposed serious challenger to their throne in Brisbane was the Tigers at their imperious best.
It was the Lions who started better with most of the early play and the first two goals. Brisbane looked very much "on".
But within just a half of football, they'd been summarily turned off by a team which turned on its own more intense heat.
Richmond would kick 11 of the next 12 goals of the game and a dozen of the last 14 come the final siren, which heralded a 41-point win and at the conclusion of round 10 on Sunday, a spot in the top four.
And that is a spot from which surely very few people now would expect them to shift.
Last year, the Tigers lost a whole clutch of key players seemingly at once, most of whom were either still missing or desperately trying to recapture match fitness and form by the time they dropped three games in a row between rounds 11 and 13, the narrowest of those losses by a considerable 33 points.
After being defeated by the Crows in Adelaide, they were clinging tenuously to a spot just inside the top eight.
But that would prove Richmond's final loss of the season, rattling off 12 straight victories on its way to a second flag in three years.
In this abbreviated season, the trouble came earlier, the Tigers with just one win and an uninspiring draw from their first four games.
Since then, they've rattled off five wins and a 12-point loss from six, the last three victories by 41, 41 and 54 points.
Again, key men have been absent, Shane Edwards and Bachar Houli staying home from hub life for family reasons, Dion Prestia, David Astbury, Toby Nankervis and Josh Caddy all among the injured "outs".
And again, the Tigers have been able to seamlessly replace them.
Last season, it was the likes of Sydney Stack, Jack Higgins, Liam Baker and Jack Ross who filled the breach in fine style, Richmond confident enough in its depth to even, incredibly, unleash a debutant in Marlion Pickett on grand final day.
This year, it's been Noah Balta slipping effortlessly into the role of the retired Alex Rance in defence, Shai Bolton latching on to a midfield spot so well he has to be close to the most improved player in the competition.
Mabior Chol looks better and more confident with each passing game as ruck support for Ivan Soldo and as a dangerous forward target.
Derek Eggmolesse-Smith has slotted like a hand into a glove in Houli's spot as a rebound defender. And Jake Aarts is yet another in a production line of small pressure forwards who can kick goals.
Of course, that's all been topped off by the return of Brownlow medallist Dustin Martin to his best.
Against the Western Bulldogs and again on Tuesday night against Brisbane, "Dusty" was in rare touch, his kicking not only penetrating but pinpoint, his strength and power in any contest, either at ground level or in the air, unbeatable.
Every single time he touched the ball against the Lions, you knew the result would be advantage Richmond.
He was a clear best-on-ground for a second game in a row, and while he may not have kicked a goal, he finished with 24 disposals, three goal assists, no fewer than nine score involvements and the most metres gained of any player on the ground.
And if you needed a moment to accentuate the gap in class between he and virtually any other player in the AFL, try his outside-of-the-right- boot pass to teammate Jack Higgins in the third term.
That was simply football artistry.
Most of all, though, Richmond has its famed pressure game back. It had been palpably lacking over the first month of this season.
But over the past month, and particularly in the past fortnight, the Tigers have been at their ferocious best, hunting and harassing opposition defences, locking the ball inside their forward 50, and scoring far more swiftly and efficiently once they cause those inevitable turnovers.
The leviathan of the AFL in recent times is back. And as that missing cast of players returns, now in just as good a position as any of the past three seasons, regardless of where or when the end of this extraordinary year will play out.
Who's game enough to tip against the Tigers making it three flags during this golden period for the club? Not me, that's for sure.
 
I always love the assault in a bar call for this very fact. Even taking a hanger on someone would be an assault in a bar.
Not to mention the old anal intruder during the song.....
 
Aarts deserves to keep his spot even when we start getting a few back. The way I see it he is keeping Rioli out of the side. Daniel has far more leg speed however Jake knows his limitations and plays within them. Love his workrate. Offers a real hard edge to our side. Aartsy is a bit like a mini Caddy. He's really hungry. Something Daniel could learn!!
Aarts hits the scoreboard too.

Fantastic honest well written article from an unbiased journalist!

nice for a journo or someone in the media to actually state the truth about us and our chances in 2020! we haven’t just filled the injured and missing players we have excelled them! Scary what a club we have become again! 🐯🐯
 
oppo fans are even melting about vlaustin fingering chool, trying to question our culture like vlaustin was humiliating him and everything's terrible at tigerland. but apparently chol on his instagram story was doing the same s**t to everyone in the hub during the week lel. oppos are truly delusional they are desperate to get our players reprimanded for anything possible. they will try get our hub moved out of QLD soon for winning too many games there. pies and druggies fans will be contacting our players trying to offer them drugs so they can then dob em in to the AFL or some s**t like that. there is a sense of hopelessness amongst oppo fans at the moment. they are worried about a 4 flags in 5 years type of situation happening now
