Last week, people were using the ESS V HAW game as an indicator.

Today's game is proof that 1 V 1 H/A games are a bad, bad way to indicate which team is better and which team isn't.

By doing so, we could only conlude that Richmond is better than Hawthorn, and Essendon - but hang on, we beat Richmond comfortably?

PARADOX

I'm sorry, probably my bias, but how the f*** is Richmond and their team "very exciting" in terms of what they've done and where they're going. From what I heard from Brereton (in amongst tugging himself over Richmond from what it sounded like), he thinks they're the next best thing and that they'd be serious challengers in the finals. I mean really? They've beaten Hawthorn and Fremantle, no other teams to note. I fail to see how they're going anywhere quicker than what we are.

Again, probably just my bias though

I know it's a really hard thing to quantify but Marc murthy has gotta be a bottom 3 captain in the league. Just doesn't do anything you'd expect on field of a captain. Just seems like a token under 12s give best player the captaincy thing.
