    GWS Trade

    Given that Richmond are, by all reports, willing to offer their first rounder this year (pick 12) and their first rounder next year (possible around pick 12-16 perhaps, depending on our finish) then the Collingwood deal is a disgrace. Richmond are kicking up a decent fuss behind the scenes, by...

    Review Round 12, Giants vs Kangaroos, Saturday 20th June, Spotless Stadium, 4.35pm

    Which of your three ruckmen has been performing the best though. I saw Phillips in pre-season and he looked OK, but only played in the first game. He's been emergency the last couple of weeks though, hasn't he?

    Investigation into Essendon Fitness Program

    It is amazing, with all this media speculation, how easy it is to spot those journos etc with a vested interested in the game and who will defend what has gone on until their last breath, and those who don't have a vested interest in the game. The AFL media community is a small, incestuous...

    But if the AFL has signed up to the WADA code, wouldn't it be the WADA code that must be upheld? If so, and as stated previously, the WADA code is pretty clear on AOD6904.

    Investigation into Essendon Fitness Program

    The fact the AFL have come out with no statement at all on this is hugely galling. It is the ultimate "if we don't say anything it didn't happen" type of moment. Newsflash AFL - this isn't just going to go away. To WADA, the AFL is just bush-league stuff, and Demetriou and his band of cronies...

    Investigation into Essendon Fitness Program

    I would hope that if players are rubbed out for taking banned substances, then they sue the Essendon Football Club. These are young guys who are, when it comes down to it, trying to make a living by plying their trade at the elite level. The fact that the "trade" is a sport shouldn't matter -...

    Investigation into Essendon Fitness Program

    Agree. Jobe Watson (and, it seems, other Essendon players) have been actively misinformed or misled by the club in regards to the treatments and programs they were on. It is unfair to just come out an label Jobe Watson a drug cheat. Certainly say that he admits to taking a banned substance...

    Investigation into Essendon Fitness Program

    Yes indeed. Again though - it illustrates what I'm saying. Richmond supporters thought Wallace was a good coach for a while, backed him, etc. Then, as it became more obvious that he and the regime didn't know what they were doing, and had no resources to carry through any plans, the number...

    Investigation into Essendon Fitness Program

    The problem with many supporters is that they are just very loyal ... and this crosses all clubs and all codes. There are many many supporters of clubs who won't hear a bad word spoken about their team, who won't believe that they can do wrong, that they are incompetent, etc etc. They always...

    Investigation into Essendon Fitness Program

    But it is a report. Just a report, nothing more. It is not legislation, it is not the rules in place to govern what is and isn't illegal. Seriously, relying on the report as an arbiter of the law is like reading a Cliff's Notes summary of a novel and then expecting to be able to properly...

    Investigation into Essendon Fitness Program

    It isn't the ACC report people should be referring to as the bedrock to any opinion on AOD9604 and whether it is banned or not.ACC are not the authority (nor the judge) when it comes to what is legal or not in terms of sports doping) The key thing is that this report doesn't carry any weight...

    Competitions 2013 Bulldogs Supercoach & Dreamteam Questions

    Lachlan Hunter ... seems to be looking the goods at Willy - how far is he away from playing for the Dogs? I remember watching his dad play quite a bit (used to go to a lot of Dogs games at The Western Oval with my dad, who is a Dogs' supporter) - hope he breaks through very soon.

    Mega Thread Fantasy (DT/SC/other) questions about Hawthorn players in here only

    Hi guys - just wondering about Bradley Hill .... is he ready to step up into the Hawthorn side as a regular (non-sub) in 2013? Would his hopes be increased by Clinton Young moving on? Thanks so much.

    DREAM TEAM/SUPERCOACH - Please post ALL queries regarding Dream Team/Supercoach/Player Injuries here

    Re: DREAM TEAM/SUPERCOACH - Please post ALL queries regarding Dream Team/Supercoach/Player Injuries Liked what I saw of Sam Shaw a couple of weeks back. Is his spot secure (it seems to be) and what do you believe his scoring might be like through the year.

    Known Bugs/Issues

    Massive massive issue I've found through play testing 4-5 different scenarios over the past 2 days. Simply put - if you sub a player off during your game, the game is most likely to freeze up. I've had it happen 4 times so far. Twice I didn't quite know what had gone on, but suspected that it...

    Known Bugs/Issues

    That's one thing I also found - I reckon some of the guernseys are quite hard to tell apart - even the clash guernseys don't quite do the job. Maybe we could ask for retro 1970s uniforms where teams wore garish yellow, red or mustard coloured shorts. :) Just out of interest - what views...

    Known Bugs/Issues

    Hi there - just another game to add to the bugs list - played Round 1 Richmond Carlton last night and the game froze about halfway through the third quarter. What is the status of the workaround on these - is it just to sim the game?

    The Travis Tuck Over-Dose, Suspension & Aftermath Mega Thread **** Post Anything Related Here ****

    Re: Travis Tuck As a Richmond fan - and given Ben Cousins' presence at Tigerland as well as Shane Tuck being a player here - I sincerely hope he can get the help he needs to ensure he is OK. Let's hope the issue is addressed and the illness/addiction can be brought into check.

    Preview AFL Round 13 Brisbane Lions V Richmond

    Geez - and I copped criticism about questioning the Raines trade. Good to see a few more Lions' supporters in this thread seeing the light when it comes to this VFL-standard player. You are on a winner with Tom Rockliff though - the kid is going to be a star. Should be among the first 6-8...

    Preview AFL Round 13 Brisbane Lions V Richmond

    Whatever the case may be, UpTheGuts is correct about Raines. We did warn you. We warned everyone. We then did cartwheels when he was taken off our hands. However you just giving us pick #44 - Matty Dea, currently injured - is nothing compared to Port Adelaide giving us Mitch Farmer (going...

    Hi everyone - just wondering about Danny Hughes. I was at thegame last Friday night and was impressed with his efforts in the wet. Strong hands and really had a dip at the ball. I know of his background and the long time it has taken him to get a game. I'm wondering whether, now he is in the...

    DT/SC Questions here (check Roster Watch first)

    Re: DT/SC Questions here: Read thread first please Hi there - just wondering what you see as Jed Adcock's role this year? Will the influx of players see him move up the ground, to the wings or midfield, or will he stay put. Not only from an SC perspective, but I enjoy the way he goes about...

    2009 DreamTeam/SuperCoach Questions

    Thanks again for previous advice guys. Just wondering about Mr Petrenko - I've heard varying reports as to his "safety" in the Adelaide side. What are your takes on his position? Do you think he might be able to play 10 or 12 games this season? Or a few early on as he has been? Reason...

    2009 DreamTeam/SuperCoach Questions

    Thanks so much for the advice (and quick replies). Dare I suggest it, but if you have any questions about any Richmond players (especially for Supercoach), fire away and I'll try to help. Though not having many Richmond players might be the first step to success!!

    2009 DreamTeam/SuperCoach Questions

    Great win on the weekend - well done for sticking it up Collingwood. Just a request for advice - I have the Liam Anthony debacle on my hands and have decided to make a trade. Was impressed - and have been over the preseason with both Otten and Dangerfield. I'm wondering who is likely to...

    Get On Andrew Raines In A Big Way

    Bit unfair to dismiss him - or to base his chanes of getting a game in 09 - on thefact he didn't play last year. He was injured for all bar about 2 games. That said, its a toss up between him and Houlihan at themoment. We'll see how it goes.

    L.Hansen vs R.Houlihan

    Bradles - I'm a RFC supporter, but I'mnot going to pump up the tires of a guy just because he plays for Richmond. I had my doubts on Raines, but his preseason has been the best in about 2 or 3 years, he is injury free and the reports of him flying on the track carried over into y'days...

    Option 3 - Andrew Raines

    Defensive Rookies

    One of kite or gallman from adelaide should play as well. Another option (and one I've thought about taking) is using the abundance of young rookie forwards to advantage. Bung 4 or 5 of them in your forwardline, and with the extra moey you shouldn't have to pick up any rookies to start in...
