Rowell was extraordinary last week. More credit needs to go to Witts for feeding him. Let’s hope Witts wins the taps to advantage tonight. Otherwise, our clearance dominance of last week could be a memory.

Without knowing what Hardwick is thinking, this does feel like a futile exercise. But...
If Martin had a back-ended contract, it would be the right thing for Richmond to do, especially for someone who has performed admirably throughout that contract.

I didn’t say Richmond would pay him $1.4M next year if he played elsewhere. Simply that Richmond would pay him out prorated for services rendered. We would then pay him $700-$800k+ for 2024. In other words, Dusty would not be out of pocket.

Dusty was on a back-ended contract. That means Richmond owes him money for services he has already provided. Out of respect, if he left, they would pay him that money.
There would be an outcry if they dishonored him and didn’t pay.
Therefore, we would not be paying $1.4M. More like $700 or...
Great call.
Luko could follow Buddy’s lead and learn his running patterns. They have similar strengths and weaknesses; both have beautiful long kicks on the run and are not overly gifted pack marks for tall forwards.

Dane Swan drops hint about Dusty’s future: Herald Sun
Dane Swan’s 40th birthday celebrations will include a boys’ trip to Las Vegas, but whether Dustin Martin can get time off to attend will depend on where he’s playing next year.
The Collingwood...
It’s round 24 against North. Let’s play him and some others and find out a few things. We already know what our best 22 can do.

We need a lockdown one-on-one centre half-back. Ballard and Andrew are not that yet; they are interceptors. But Burgess is on our list and has matured and could go defensively with many key position forwards.

I’d like to see Burgess tried in defence for the AFL side. He is in exceptional form in the VFL, kicking eight yesterday. We can’t fit him in the forward line, but we need him down back. We recruited him as a swingman, and I think he deserves another opportunity after winning the VFL...
Yes. In a couple of years, Mac Andrew should be our CHB, but we need one for 2024. Ballard is a third-tall intercepting marker. My concern is that Andrew is also an intercepting marker and not a key position player.

An interesting observation about our win on the weekend, Daniel Hoyne from Champion Data claimed on SEN Sports Day that Brandon Ellis was the highest-rated player on the ground against Brisbane, according to Champion Data.
