So, Richmond Collingwood. No flagellation about Hocking sitting back with a sh*t-eating grin thinking he’s been vindicated for the worst rule change in the history of the game?

The rule is still sh*t.

It’s done nothing but add to the death by a thousand cuts of a once great game.

Interesting observing the rule in this game. Both sides are being obedient on the mark, but Richmond are far more practised at the kicker taking advantage of it. Collingwood just seem to be playing like last year.

Thought we were the same last week. Slow in the mind.

The actual trade was Groom for McLeod and pick 38 ! (Matthew Collins - not great I know especially when Michael O'Loughlin was available at 40)
Collins was later part of the Bassett trade from memory

Alot of money to pay for a HB with midfield ambitions

It's a pre-season game. And Williams can play, I like him as a player. But no way has been able to show that:
He is a better half back than Laird; or
He can transition to the midfield

and I'll bet he will be on way, way more $ than Laird (and no I am not privy to player contracts)

Yet posters complain about signing Laird on 5? Great move. I'm behind it

Agree Williams can play however his proven position is HB, not midfield

Williams has moved to Carlton on Elite Midfielder dollars and this year will need to demonstrate elite midfield production to pay Carlton back for their salary cap investment

It's a massive roll of the dice by Carlton
