Clearly his role was to sit on Petracca which he did well, first half especially. Big reason we were in the game.

Best time for me was around 2007-2012ish, maybe even a touch later. I used to look forward to watching most games and my own team despite Richmond being terrible.
I hate the recent rule changes around rotations, stand, 6-6-6, among others. Everyone is pigeon holed into playing the same way and...
What's his main weapon?
Not an elite kick, not a defensive player, not big bodied, not quick, not an aerobic beast.
Doesn't appear to have a standout AFL quality.
I actually agree that they shouldn't have been sent out, especially McAuliffe with 3 minutes left. But:
1. The medicos had access to replays to see exactly what occurred and were able to make an informed decision.
2. Ankles are very different to knees. What's the equivalent of an ACL tear for...
Absolutely no one would have an issue with him being put on ice after coming off the ground the first time, let alone the second time. There is no way to spin this other than it being gross incompetence.
Even if he passed every test under the sun - read the room.
For those wanting a bit more energy in the morning then RSN with Harf isn't too bad. There's obviously some racing stuff throughout but not as much as Garry and Tim waffling about wine or whatever else.
I wish our commentators would study Mike Breen in the US (NBA commentator). He shows you can be the best of the best without needing to reinvent the wheel. His simplicity and economy of words is so effective. He rolls through the same 15-20 phrases for any given game and just calls what he sees...
Do you think Champion Data are just making s**t up when they record stats for our games?
You've got tunnel vision. All you see are few errors by foot each game without acknowledging all the important grunt work he does that no one else in our team can do.
It would've been an absolute nightmare trying to play his position yesterday on that ground. Half forwards need a bit of room to get up and back and can come into the game more in the 2nd half as more space appears. No chance of that happening yesterday. With everything so congested it's also...
That's not his role and never has been even when we were good. He's just doing what was asked of him during our great years. People can't handle it now because we're not winning games.
A tackle isn't recorded unless it results in a stoppage or an ineffective disposal, so while Maurice's tackles look sexy, if Graham leads the team in tackles then they are all legitimately good tackles.
Right. We are that bottom 4 side. We aren't a top 8 side. So he is getting games as he should.
Graham's primary role is to gut run all day and apply pressure around the contest. Equal highest in tackles and in our top third for pressure acts today. He can be frustrating with ball in hand but he's a mature body who does a lot of grunt work that a lot of our kids aren't able to do. I'm not...
One concern is Short's ball use and general form this year. You would've thought he would be a weapon for us with Yze wanting to hit targets in that 20m-40m range as we work up the ground. Instead he is just throwing it on the boot and using his left foot a lot more, picking out oppo players for...
Potting 2 kids and a guy playing his second game for us. Hmm...
What a stupid comment.
Let's just drop all our senior players and at once and do what Melbourne did under Mark Neeld. That turned out well.
Sonsie got in the right position a lot in the last quarter and made some mistakes. It...
Even if we did lose by 30+, who cares? Did you see the team we had out there today? Did you honestly expect to win? The foundation of our game is pressure and it was there in spades all day. If this was 2019 I would be angry. But it's 2024. It's not our time yet.
