As an aside - I wonder how awesome a team of underrated players would be. Probably a champion team as they always do the right thing by the team.

I'd take those two in my ideal 22 in a heartbeat.

Yet Fritsch is free to play for Melbourne this weekend after using his forearm to fend someone off in the face, and Cotchin played in a GF a week after concussing Dylan Shiel with a high bump.
The inconsistency is what frustrates.
Great call. Milburn from the past one of those types. Id imagine a team of players like these guys would be almost impossible to play against.As an aside - I wonder how awesome a team of underrated players would be. Probably a champion team as they always do the right thing by the team.

Ive just been called an insular cats supporter on the geelong board.Are you arguing that cats are better than tigers? Wow! Cats fans are so insular!
We're not exactly angels when it comes to using forearms - Dangerfield also got off after knocking Vlastuin unconscious. Wasn't a hell of a lot different to what Fritsch did (for what it's worth - both should have gotten off in my view).
Won't be popular but I still maintain Cotchin should not have been suspended. Shiel kept playing, it was after Astbury got him again later in the quarter he didn't come back.
He is 33. Most players are retired by his age. Cameos are all we can expect of him.Higgins - if he is selected - well i think he has been a bit underwhelming for Geel so far - where as i think I Smith has been pretty good
I think Higgins has got to get his hands a bit dirty - get alot more desperate in his play - rather than play just play some cameo role

Fritsch and Dangerfield completely different circumstances IMO. Dangerfield punched the ball and instinctively put his forearm up to protect himself. That play could have just as easily ended in a broken arm to Dangerfield as it did a concussion to Vlastuin.
Fritsch had possession of the ball and fended off his opponent, he had complete control over what part of his body he used and where he made contact with his opponent.
Anyway, we digress. Back to Friday night!
Wouldn’t mind a team crammed with ‘defenders‘ if we had more like Milburn.I love no fuss footballers who just get the job done. Not surprisingly a few are defenders. Milburn, Enright, Mark Bos was another. From opposition teams Dale Morris and Grimes. Absolutely no sizzle but bucketloads of substance.
Mark Bos was, and still is my favourite ever player. I had the number 24 on my jumper growing up. Like you said, no fuss, just got the job done.I love no fuss footballers who just get the job done.

As is their ‘banter’ thread.Very on-brand Richmond insecurity on show here.
The GF incident?We're not exactly angels when it comes to using forearms - Dangerfield also got off after knocking Vlastuin unconscious. Wasn't a hell of a lot different to what Fritsch did (for what it's worth - both should have gotten off in my view).
Why did he retire in 1989?Mark Bos was, and still is my favourite ever player. I had the number 24 on my jumper growing up. Like you said, no fuss, just got the job done.
One of the number of solid, talented HBFs Geelong seemed to always have from the seventies onwards.Mark Bos was, and still is my favourite ever player. I had the number 24 on my jumper growing up. Like you said, no fuss, just got the job done.

Yeah he didn't exactly bang the door down on the weekend. To be fair, his preparation before ever playing a game, then 3 VFL games is a fair block prior to playing AFL.Wow - after last Saturday's VFL match that feels like a bit of desperation
Hope they know what they're doing and they ain't rushing him into the side just because of Stanley's poor match
YES. We can say with confidence we are NOT better than them. Any suggestion otherwise is pure bias.i would hope not. We are good - and can beat them - but we need a lot to go right - but to say we are better right now... im not so sure of that
Go Catters
Depends. How do you define better?YES. We can say with confidence we are NOT better than them. Any suggestion otherwise is pure bias.
He also didn't exactly do a lot of ruck work on Saturday, with Fort being our primary ruckYeah he didn't exactly bang the door down on the weekend. To be fair, his preparation before ever playing a game, then 3 VFL games is a fair block prior to playing AFL.
One gets what one deserves venturing there.As is their ‘banter’ thread.
