Richmond built its premiership list in the GC and GWS priority drafts.

It is decisions like these, and the automatic "it was the right call" response from the AFL, that has stopped me going to and watching footba. It is now an organisation, not a game.

There are some Essendon people who need to go to therapy to get over their complex, and move on. Sheedy? Hird? Get over wanting old glories. All the blood has been squeezed from those stones. Anyone but an ex.

I think he could be re-trained as a modestly sized Key defender.

I've been a bit busy and missed a few things. We brought in Tarrant, and how many went out? CCJ, Naish, Houli, Astbury and Chol who was perhaps a rookie? How many list spots have we got, given we look like taking 5 draft picks?

Robbie Tarrant and a future second-round pick from North Melbourne and a third-round selection (currently No. 40 overall) at this year’s draft will go to Richmond. Callum Coleman-Jones, two third-round selections (currently No. 42 and No. 47 overall) and Richmond’s future fourth-round selection...

Couldn't agree more. i like Hawthorn. i like Mitchell. But why choose a favourite son if not for nostalgia? That should never be part of the criteria. Of course he could work out. However if some of your decision amking was based on fondness, then the chances are reduced, in an already...

I am confident he would NOT have thought the look of the game was needing changing, and possibly distupting the Geelong team strategy, if the teams were reversed.

I'm constantly amazed how far he kicks. The opposition are onto it though. It doesn't catch them out. It still moves the ball a long way.

Have a look at the ladder. See if you can find the other three of the "big four". It isn't easy and it takes a while, but totally worth the wait. Like when you've been constipated for a bit.
