Dont have to thank Richmond mate he went way after we were done , Thank North as they had the pick that should have taken him.

We are very happy with Faull , Armstrong , Sims , Trainor

Richmond had 3 chances to get it right though and stuffed it up. Not sure what they were thinking tbh.

We did get it right
Very very happy with our boys and Faull kicked a clutch goal last night to win the game

Finally kicked one eh?

Good for him.

 

[THE_GUN]

I went by footywire, and that had 15, including Lynch, but not Balta.

As who who replaces...that's the issue. When injuries get that bad, you tend to have to play (almost) anyone who is fit, and the bottom end of any list tends to be pretty poor.


Of course, your club has an injury list of 3, including Oscar Allan who is out for the season because he just can't be assed playing for you any more and have won as many games for the year as Richmond won in this match.

Balta curfew and Gibcus coming back from a knee playing 40%-50% game time in the VFL in his 1st game this week

Yes, I'm aware it's been a while between drinks for him.

5.13 or something?

All good mate we are very very Happy with our boy
Now stop your trolling before you get spanked

 

[Freomaniac]

You see
I did tell you you will ecentually be happy trading out pick #3 to facilitate the Baker trade

Taj Hotton thanks the eagles for giving that pick to Richmond

To this day I am mystified how a Liam Baker trade thread made it to 100 pages

Spanked?

Don't think too highly of yourself please.

You scraped through for a win in the worst game ever witnessed, against a side who lost one of their best players to an ACL in game, with your top 10 players on the field being blokes 2-4 years from retirement.

 

[Andronicus]

Coping well Andronicus ?

Yeah.

Our season has been over for ages, and although this injury curse has been brutal, it has at least exposed a bunch of you get players and a loss long term makes the draft hand better.

Why do you ask? Do I know you?

 

[Lunchtime]

Not the best win and pretty scrappy but.......raise the bat Richmond.....win number 100 against Essendon. 211 games, 100 wins, 107 losses and 4 draws.

#100

4 wins compared to 1

 

[TheKanga]

There's something rotten at Essendon.

They seem to be a soul less organisation
Lately all their games are fumble fest, low skilled, low scoring affairs.

 

[bzparkes]

4 wins compared to 1

That's like saying 'Constipation compared to diarhrea '

 

[Grin]

bzparkes just blinded by his obsessive hatred of Richmond.
Poor fellow. You've got to feel for him. The Tigers won premierships he feels his team was entitled to.

 

[Freomaniac]

thats easy

We wont trade pick #3
yes you will
No we wont

You and your fellow tigers posters did that for 50 pages. Explain the other 50 pages? LoL

 

[Daka]

That was the worst game this year skill wise...
You could see both teams tried hard though

Just happy we got the W for Vlastuin's 250th.
both teams are rebuilding and both are injury ravaged.

 

[SC_Power]

That's like saying 'Constipation compared to diarhrea '

Well, at least you don’t make a mess and you can go out in public.
So there’s that.

 

[SC_Power]

Imagine if you removed a couple of older dudes like Goldstein and Prestia/Vlastuin.

The age/games would plummet.

Is a stupid stat. You need to look at the distribution but ultimately younger doesn't mean outside best 22.

Both team have been decimated by injuries and were crap to begin with lol.

So if you remove the old players, the average age drops?
That’s a great insight.

Yes Richmond have got a heap of injuries, but the age stat hasn’t changed all that much all year. You have a young team, but not the only one like the AFL media likes to peddle.

That’s why Freo are in a really nice position.

Went straight over your head obviously.

My point was that there's a lot of inexperienced kids and the stats are higher due to a handful of very senior players.

Not much in the middle of age/games.

Better looking at median vs average.

Yeah, went straight over my head when I realized that Freo’s average, mean, median, whatever is basically the same as Richmonds. St Kilda’s as well.
Early in the year, recent games, whatever.
Age, games played, whatever.
You’re probably right on the bottom quartile. Similarly for players outside the 22 each week.

I just looked at them as they went over my head.

We all get it that Richmond has invested heavily in a single draft and good luck to them, they’ve uncovered some quality players. And you’ve earned the right to do so after a period of sustained success that I wish my club had.
But they’re not Robinson Crusoe on the team youth.
I wonder when the media will pick up on that.

Why would I hate an irrelevant club like Richmond?

Your lot probably would have lost in a scrap like that.

You're the only team in the comp without multiple victories remember.

I'm happy with where we're at currently in our development, as it's our young players who are our best performers, as opposed to our oldies who are soon to retire and we've shown real growth in areas since the start of the year.

I mean, we won 5 games last year and were arguably worse.
