I was going to find the photo of his face when getting drafted and say they obviously didn’t listen.
But instead I found a new DP picture

Does anyone know if Tanner was injured in yesterday's game? Noticed he was subbed off but was out at the 3QT huddle and didn't seem in too much stress. But only 45% TOG... so ??? Led the way with 8 tackles still, which is pretty damning on our other mids who played 20+% and not getting a ton of ball themselves.
It was a tactical sub, so he's not injured.

He was on the bench getting strapped up three times. First time they re strapped his shoulder, second time I can't remember it was something else, then he copped one in the face and they gave him the Chris Judd Voldemort treatment to stop the bleeding.
Ah OK - now you mention it, I do remember him strapped up around the face but they probably took it off once he was subbed off and was wearing a T-shirt so couldn't see any shoulder strapping.
Hopefully not. The nose/head bandage was probably nothing serious but hopefully Haminja's mention of shoulder isn't anything that'll linger.

Probably the one he's been carrying for a couple of months now. I think they said it was painful but not actually any danger of doing further damage

Lol.
So Bruhn not being out there made Atkins, Danger, Blicavs, etc suddenly pull their fingers out? Bruhn was barely even at any centre bounces (only 4 for the game) so they can hardly blame him for our absolute flogging in there for 3 quarters. Or is he so bad that he's to blame for lost centre clearances even when he's not in the middle?

It's sad when it's members of your own board.
We expect this stuff from Hawks and Tigers nuffies...not so much around here.
Only 5 goals were kicked to half time. Not exactly a game filled with Centre bounces.

So, I can safely say you lads got a good deal for Tanner …. Better than what the tigers paid for Hopper and he looks a lot better going forward

Hopper certainly looks like a bullet dodged at this stage

Its possible GWS get pick 6. Richmond were well and truly screwed.

On top of that they could have gotten Hopper as a FA this year. It’s not like he was the missing piece they needed to win a flag this year.
Disastrous trade for Richmond.

If they didn't though it's likely that Hopper lands at the cats and we don't get Bruhn. If we don't get Bruhn then decent chance Henry (Bruhns best mate) maybe doesn't go for the trade that year.
GWS didn't just get the picks either. They got the cap space and the on field flexibility to rebalance their list and game style
You could argue Richmond played a big part in the rebuild of both gws and the cats
