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.

 

[Ant Bear]

18 tackles for Priddis.

Vickery is still looking pretty pleased with himself.

Cheap hit on Cox that put him out of the game.

Has Dustin Martin got his name tattooed on his neck? Is that for ID purposes for others, or is it backwards for mirror use?

Vickery would be a handy addition to our squad.

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.

Misread the RDT page that gave him 72 points for tackles. I thought it was 3 points per tackle, it's actually 4.

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.

Vickery and Richmond are peas in a pod. Both have improved after their season is gone and now Vickery is gone himself. He must have taken lessons from Scott Salisbury, absolute gutless dog hit on Cox.

[Holden Hillbilly]

[Hammer#8]

What is it about Richmond and wasting their first round picks on absolute spuds.

 

[It Just Is]

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.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

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.

 

[LFC2010]

I hope the AFL fine Hardwick for his comments in the presser condoning those actions from Vickery, it's not being tough at all.

I believe the correct term is thuggery & not being tough.

Ken Judge is pretty spot on with WCE <a href = "http://audioboo.fm/boos/2351836-ken-judge-thoughts-on-wce">here</a>

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.

Big fan of Tim Gepp!

The problem is that the the West Coast midfield is the worst in the league. Does not matter if you have Kennedy, Darling and LeCras if the ball does not come down that end with any type of delivery. Priddis is a good in and under player but the rest of the midfield is rubbish. Shuey has not come on like they thought he was going to due to injuries.

Simpson has inherited the mess from Worsfold. It is going to take time. They really need to trade some of their key position players to get some decent midfielders into the team.

We could give them Newton who would walk straight into the Eagles midfield as part of the Lycett deal if it happens.
