An ex Melbourne player told his father a few years ago that at social gatherings of the team including coaches and staff pill taking was embraced by most at these gatherings including the head coach. I actually sent the HS a email detailing this over a year ago but never heard back from them.
It is about time they put umpires back in charge of the umpires.
It all started going downhill from the time they put Gieshen in charge after that it became a job for ex AFL coaches or assistant coaches.
Peter Carey would be a good choice. ( the ump who marked the football during a match:D)
Yes Jason we probably acknowledged the quality of Taranto and Hopper but we probably pointed out their urgent need to move these players on and their desire to come to Richmond.
Somewhere in the middle a fair compromise will be reached.
The best view of all was the goal umpire who was almost directly underneath the flight of the ball as it crossed the line (.5 of a metre away from the post)
He indicated it was a goal all other views were from far inferior angles.
I believe the the wrong decision was made and the AFL are not...
Biggy was gifted a game in the ones as his body of work in the twos didn't demand a promotion. His performance was mainly VFL level with periods of AFL level thrown in.
Miller however ripped the game a new one yesterday in the VFL which screamed out promote me.
Razor would you like back that statement with some proof?
"If we could get any trade for him then get it done ASAP was the 98-99% consensus."
Rance never had this level of hostility, seems like something pulled of your proverbial to make a cheap point.
Yes earlier on Rance made regular...
Balta shouldn't be even mentioned in the same sentence as Stringer.
Stringer carries condition, lacks endurance and if he has to sprint too hard can ping his hammy.
Maybe because having actually had Covid and that gives you greater protection than a double dosed person.
The real question is why our chief health officers refuse to acknowledge the protection that having covid gives the person.
And no I am not an anti vaxer (double vaxed with AstraZeneca)
Rance type backmen only come around every couple of drafts, there are sometimes 3-4 quality midfielders each draft so when a quality defender falls to your pick it is wise to grab that player.
( yes making the Rance comparison is a big call but after seeing some of the highlights and reports he...
Making excuses for injured players will stand up for the periods of the year when we had about 7 players out.
What about the times when we had 3 or four out and still looked crap with poor ball movement which gave the forwards little to no chance.
And whoever came up with that handball happy...
Quote from Knightmares assessments of Hobbs
Weaknesses
"Rarely wins the ball at speed or on the move which leads to limited time and space in congestion
Speed
Athleticism
Agility "
Not a great list for a higher first round pick.
In fact Hobbs reminds me of a young Josh Caddy.
Actually it was Leppa wo argued for a one man forward line when Benny was injured as the replacements were not up to it.(Leppa was the forward coach at the time)
Dimma resisted but eventually came around.
