So Ryder is struggling in a team when he has to share ruck responsibilities. Who knew?

He should have gone to GWS for himself and for a higher pick.

**** the AFL for suspending players for a perfect tackle (see Gibbs and now Richards)
Gibbs' one is really not a perfect tackle, it's a double-action slinging and deserves to be penalised as it's immensely dangerous. The perfect tackle is using your own weight to bring down the player you are tackling, or using existing momentum to bring them down.

The Richards one... well, Schultz hasn't yet been suspended unless they've just introduced a special lightning round for the tribunal that sat and judged as Richards was stretchered off, but it's actually a different process with the same outcome - it is an example of the tackler using his own existing momentum to bring down the other player. Very different to Gibbs.

Bomber on 3aw last night confirming that he didn't move because of the PEDs saga.

I just want more people to come out and say it because the campaigner doesn't deserve the privacy (that has not been afforded to Harley Bennell).

The story is something along the lines that his wife caught him sleeping around and gave him an ultimatum to get out of Melbourne and away from the temptress.

Agree with that but if you look closely there is actually two movements with the Richards one. It's small but it's there. The fact he didn't come back on probably makes it a moot point though.

Im sure 750k would have helped sway Ryder as well.

Long may they play 2 ruckmen.
As a Port fan, my wife is less than impressed with Ryder. His form this year (even prior to injury) hasn't gone close to what he produced with us.

Stiff shit I say :)
