Just watching Richmond’s pressure- they are really fantastic at locking the ball in their own territory, putting heat on the opposition and not letting the ball out.

Feel like we could use a lot more pressure players in our side. Seems like teams have just been able to walk it out of our forward line and through the middle of the ground with ease at times this season...

Yep. Worst of all it’s players hitting Sicily with no repercussion. He touches them and it’s a free shot at goal. It’s a ridiculous double standard. The club needs to be public on this issue. He is targeted every week and not allowed to defend himself.
I am amazed that Sicily hasnt totally lost his s..t this year it has been so blatant. Says a lot about his development as a player that he has kept his cool so well.

I’d send Sic up forward where he could capitalise on any treatment he gets. Of course that’s not going to happen , but I’d like to see it.

Hocking you contemptible piece of shit (apologies to shit everywhere). It's not the attitude that needs to change. It's very f**king funny, you utter nematode, that everyone started really discussing umpires since your horrible influence stepped in the game like it was some dogs business you plan to wipe off your shoe later. Well frankly you can eat it you maggot. Saying the attitude should change is like a restaurant saying "You didn't like your meal Sir? Then you should change your attitude."
Is Hocking actually for real or is he just reading off AFL engineered cue cards?
He's now so out of touch with reality, it's almost painful

Sounds like a man trying to deflect from something...I wonder what?

Typical AFL. Don’t try to fix the issues, just ramp up the PR. Maybe need a whole new department with a wanky title

Makes sense he was 100% Hawthorn bound until x came up(yes he was to the few floggo Essendon twats that will be reading here). It's simple the AFL should ban any part time work, any cash flow from out side your playing contract should be ground for de-registration, stop the crap with clear as cut salary cap cheating.
How many bombers trolls put mayo on it saying essendon offered the worst money?

I thought exactly the same, rewarding a player who drops the ball is just ridiculous.
Not only that he held Petracca first yet that was blissfully missed by all and sundry. Hammer is a shocking commentator. Never says anything out of the ordinary and is basically Gil's mouthpiece. A boring dross of a caller.

It’s funny how with the 6-6-6 rule the league was trying to get higher scoring games but instead it has just confused the hell out of every team which has resulted in some really ugly football. The league will just spin it as... but hey look at how even everything is.
The line ‘it was never about scoring more’ is now coming from the usual mouthpieces

But really, have they bothered to set some KPIs to see if the rule changes are helping or hindering. A cast of thousands and no one thought of metrics?
Can’t be too hard when every player carries a gps these days

It seems plenty of them latched onto the PR aspects

If there's one thing the AFL love more than making money, it's making up wanky departments

So there should be rule if the ball goes out of play, and it is deliberate, and the opposition windmill their arms around like a pack of Scott Brothers, then throw it in. If it isn't deemed deliberate and they do it, a free kick against the dickhead with his arms out.

Just the wine talking about the obvious....but it's so clear to see in that last goal...the team that is harder longer (in bursts of play) prevails. Melbourne guys having a go at a tackle, missing then just jogging off somewhere...Richmond players bursting through the ball at full tilt. It's not rocket science is it. LOLOL
