Banter Lloyd from 45 to win the game, he's got it!!

[THE_GUN]

We will lose and hopefully finish last this year, our list is largely cooked. Need to free up some salary space and target some young talent.

With Reid , Franklin , Heeney , Mills , Parker , Kennedy , McVeigh Virtually locked in and untouchable or nobody will touch with their salaries
Cant see how you release salary cap pressure to be honest.

Tippos final year of salary this year, mcveighs final year, grundys final year, jacks final year. We would do well to trade reid for a packet of chips and play Mccartin instead at half forward. Think JPK only has a year to go too. We could take 3 years to make finals again, we are in big trouble.

These players would not be on too much at their age and will easily be off set by the younger players who have been squeezed for years like Jones,Papley,Mills etc

Probably just Jones on a short term contract of those. We run heavy in rookie numbers and I suspect we'll front end some contracts.

How can you front end contracts when you can barely meet TPP ??

Come again? We arent under salary cap pressure, I think thats what you are implying? We front end because we have space. We could have chased someone this year with Hanners contract off our books.

 

[guruisatiger]

the biggest talking point out of this game is the congested tunnels outside the stadium leaving marvel like last year

What tunnels ???

 

[jesterx]

So prior to 2017 how many of you had a membership?

Lining AFL coffers is for stooges, bigfooty badges are where its at.

 

[Royce Hafey]

What tunnels ???

Where they keep the superheroes.

The superhero of poor form. An elbow to Kennedy's head incoming.

We gave up on the year after last season knowing horse won't change the style of play. Tiges by 50.

Tippett is still on the list? Will Tippett do a Mumford?






And have a nose beer video circulating social media?

Tippett would miss the line and swallow the note/straw or whatever he was using

 

[The King!]

I remember the good old days of Sydney Richmond like 2006 when we won by like 100 sitting next to a father and son tiger fan and the dad apologising to his son that he was stuck going for the club,

met some lovely richmond fans in my time, how come they arent on bigfooty and its just you pricks?

 

[tugga]

Take no notice of ticketmaster, they hold tickets back for gameday same as ticketek.

Frankston line stops at moorabbin then buses to flinders street
Pakenham/cranny line stops at Westall then buses to flinders street
Sandringham not running at all, buses from sandy to flinders street

2018 got 43k with both teams flying, with the above 3 lines stuffed this game will be lucky to see 25k.

No Geelong line trains either.

Theres no real rivalry, never been good at the same time bar what the 30s?

Any old farts here from those days?

we are still paying tippett , we let hanners go to stay under the cap i reckon/get rid of the issues
