If you were Lycett & had the chance to go home does this Eagles team really give you any real reason to stay?

Sure they can offer him the #2 ruck spot behind Natinui but he'd likely prefer to be #2 at a club like Port which will continue to improve over the next 4-5 years & are a chance of playing a fair bit of finals footy.

West Coast lost it rather than Richmond won it. West Coast had a run of 8 inside 50s and scored 2 behinds, 1 of them from outside 50. Then the ball went inside Richmond's 50 and Jack Riewoldt got what would have been a free any day of the week. Chaplin took 3 marks and they were all easy marks in the last quarter when West Coast bombed inside 50.

Priddis 30 touches and 24 tackles. He must be getting frustrated playing his guts out every week for little or no return.

Vickery would be a handy addition to our squad.

(ducks for cover)
Vickery would be a handy addition to the list of tall players who started off very shakily but were persevered with by their club before finding consistency that i'll reference in the next wall of text the next time someone disagrees with me in the Butcher thread.

Has Dustin Martin got his name tattooed on his neck? Is that for ID purposes for others, or is it backwards for mirror use?
Probably read somewhere that umpires notice players with neck tattoos and weird haircuts so he would be hoping for Brownlow votes. Actually he'll probably get Richmond's most although Sportsbet still has Cotchin above him.

Can suck it!
I hate that he'll be able to plead guilty and get a 25% point reduction despite carrying on like a pork chop for the rest of the night.

Given some of the 2-3 week suspensions we've seen in the last few years you'd like to think a knockout punch from behind would be worth 5+ weeks but I'm not naive enough to think it works like that.

Recent record won't help him. If a case is sent straight to the tribunal does it negate the early plea discount?

Vickery strikes Cox
Vickery, who was reported for the incident, has 43.75 carryover points after copping a two-week suspension for striking North Melbourne's Michael Firrito earlier this year.

As I posted in the recruiting thread Tony who put forward a trade proposal of Porps, Mckernan & Rutten for Cameron is an early nomination for worst trade of all time, I haven't laughed that hard at a caller on that show for a long time.

So many awful trades being put up they make the possible trades mentioned on BF look really fair in comparison.

When he was told Porps and McKernan wouldn't get the deal done, he decided to sweeten the deal by throwing in Rutten. In a coaching role.

Even stupid and bone laughed.

NUFC, YES.

When is Adam Simpson going to take some heat I wonder?

Repeatedly struggling to kick competitive scores, let alone winning ones, despite boasting a forward line of Kennedy-Darling-Le Cras?

Give us just one of those bigs and we're a sneaky chance of being 16-1 or 17-0.
