Thank you Jack for everything. It will be terrible to lose you to Tasmania but if you are going to go to another footy team, I'd rather there than anywhere else. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/jack-riewoldt-is-the-first-signing-for-tasmania-s-afl-team-20230912-p5e43w.html

Announced just now: Jimmy Smith Paddy Guinane Congratulations to their families!!

I think by far our most important signing this offseason will be our new fitness chief. We cannot just promote those from within. The loss of Rob Innes to Sydney has shown how much running out games is important. We have had too many red-time goals kicked against us this year, hence the loss of...

How good is this guy? Really. I have always worshipped the original Mr Magic, Maurice Rioli, and have him up on a pedestal as one of the most skilled players to put on a tiger jumper. However, the raw effect that Shane Edwards has had on the Richmond Football club in the last 4 years cannot be...

I just received a message from the club. Devastated. Condolences to his family. mod edit: official club link https://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/746432/remembering-shane-tuck?videoId=746432&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1595228703001 Second mod edit: If you need help or someone to talk...

https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/james-hird-hit-by-car-in-melbourne-s-inner-city-20181128-p50iye.html The good news is that he sustained no head trauma. it has been an extremely tough time for the former bomber's coach in the last few years. Hope he makes a full recovery.

I thought that each player was contracted till the October 31st. Does this mean Luke Hodge is still contracted? Trade period occurs before October 31st. Does Hawthorn have to trade him to Brisbane then just like they traded Mitchell and Lewis? If not, why not? If so, how does this not...

Official capacity of the MCG = 100,024 Yesterdays crowd = 100,021 Who were the three campaigners that didn't turn up?:mad:

The AFL want to allow Gold Coast to pay Tom Lynch as an ambassador to keep him from leaving. Why can't other teams get that perk? I think it is a disgrace...

Does anyone think a payout tax of ~$20 per member a good idea? Of course it would be more for Coterie and premium memberships and less for kids and pensioners. The reason I'm asking is that the biggest reason we still have Hardwick is that the cost of paying him out would be prohibitive. This...

Our own mandrew has been given a 1 year contract. Make it count mate. http://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/2015-11-06/tigers-snare-moore

In the light of the Dangerfield and Treloar trades, I thought of two ways that clubs can get their man without being pinged for Salary cap breaches. 1. Club A targets a young champion and starts talking with his management about getting him over when his contract finishes. This maybe 2 or 3...

I accidentally came across this pdf on the net. Since the previous thread is locked, I am starting a new one. Our poster andrewb created the thread which showed a letter from Stephen Watt from ASADA asking WADA about the prohibited status of thymomodulin "also known as thymosin". Interestingly...

Has anyone else noticed this? Over the last few years Hawthorn's brown colour has gotten darker and darker. I was watching them on Foxtel yesterday and their strip has almost turned black. They now almost approaching Richmond's colours. The first picture is how I remember the brown in the...

SEN reported that Tyrone was injured in the reserves game. Leg injury ?ankle ? knee.

Firstly I apologize if someone has picked this up a while ago as it is somwhat old news. I was arguing on bombertalk when I stumbled across an obvious fact that I cannot remember anyone else mentioning. We all know that Bruce Reid wrote the following letter in January 2012: Dear James/Paul
 I...

I have now established a "joust" with the great man on bombertalk4.com. Thanks boncer34. Bruce Francis, Part 1 - http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/bruce-francis.1083004/

I know the HTB fires up people like no other board, but I still have a healthy respect of posters that sit on both sides of the fence in this supplements saga. The passion shown just means that people love footy and their team. I wish all on here a very merry Christmas and a wonderful 2015...

There is some new information floating around that Dr Reid told the AFL the first day he became aware of a problem, 19 October 2011 (which was before Dank started at Essendon). He reported a possible anti-doping violation to Dr Harcourt at the AFL and the AFL did nothing. If this is true, it...

In all of this saga, there has been very little hard evidence presented to reach a "beyond reasonable doubt" verdict for ASADA. Now I know WADA does not require this for infractions (it has to be somewhere between this and balance of probabilities) but I think there is one piece of evidence...

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/essendon-the-players-and-james-hird-bid-to-stop-asada-with-injuction-20140618-zsdi4.html Does this mean that reduced sentences through full cooperation will be off the table as this doesn't look like full cooperation to me....

After a good start to the year the umpiring standard has declined. Football is a multi billion dollar business. It's CEO is paid an extraordinary amount of money and to be honest, I don't know what he does on a day to day basis to warrant such an income. Football betting is also a huge...

I came across an acquaintance that has had dealings with Dank through this guys anti ageing business ventures. He told me Dank spent 3 months with GAJ when he was up in Queensland prior during the Suns first preseason. I love GAJ as a player, but now I'm conflicted because we know that...

Former Melbourne and Footscray player Les Bamblett is fighting for life in a Melbourne hospital right now. My sources tell me he is in surgery having an acute life threatening condition operated on. We should all pray that he makes it through and has an uneventful recovery. Our thoughts are...

I've always wondered why we want to know who is the fastest runner in the AFL when in fact nobody is allowed to sprint with the ball without bouncing it. Wouldn't it make it more interesting if the players had to bounce the ball every 15m and sprint, not only showing us who is fastest but also...

I believe the biggest problem for Essendon will be the litigation that players and their families will seek if anybody gets any malignancy in the future. Imagine the carnage that will happen if a player develops lymphoma, leukemia or any other cancer even 5 or 10 years down the track! The link...

Well done son! http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/zaharakis-refused-injections-robinson-20130731-2qzej.html

Interesting article by Dr Peter Brukner Essendon's internal review into its contentious supplements program has been completed, the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority investigation continues. With clarification from the World Anti-Doping Authority last week that the anti-obesity drug...
