Good on him hope he can continue his AFL career. Was absolutely pivotal at the business end of 2017 playing some key roles and kicking goals.

Noooooooo not ******* Essendon!!! I don’t want to hate Towner!!

 

[Ambrosia]

Surely rookie list coaching role if anything. He’s horrible

Still has something no one on your list has. Maybe he can teach them about winning in September?

Agreed. I don't want the bloke

Mitch Morton also has a premiership, I guess we should sign him via the SSP too? There's a good reason he got dropped halfway through last year. He's no good.

That's generally the idea I think. We do like to emulate your mob.

You’ll just fall in love with him the minute he lays his first bone shattering tackle. The other blokes will wonder what the * is going on?

I can guarantee that I won't. There's a reason he's managed 37 games in 7 years.

Bombers just become 50% tougher to play against

And fair credit it to him he played his role in that finals series but he’s a long way away from a consistent AFL player.

Worth a rookie spot for the bombers.

 

[Vindicater]

Worth a rookie spot for the bombers.

This is my thought. Even if only to set some training standards and bring some pressure at trainings.

 

[Ambrosia]

Would much prefer VFL coaching role then waste a list spot

 

[TJASTA]

Kevin Sheedy always rated him. No surprise tbh.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Will bring pressure and toughness something we do not have a lot of on our list

 

[tiger_tough]

Will bring more Richmond culture and IP to the Bombers. Can't see him playing much senior footy though. Too slow and doesn't have the big tank to make up for it.

Worst case will be a great mentor for the young guys in the VFL team and on the training track.

No doubt this is a Caracella/Rutten move

I think we have plenty of Richmond IP already in our coaching staff

Any of them train with the group and play VFL?

No but would much prefer he was offered a lucrative VFL playing coach role as a Hocking replacement then be anywhere near our AFL list.

Why do people hate Richmond supporters, I just cant work it out.

Probably the same reason everyone hates Essendon supporters l’d reckon.
