This is a team game and there is no room for individuals who think they are above walking through the fire.

TV off. Some good footy in this term had us going but goal kicking the same shite. Will turn back on to see Roo chaired off. Knowing us, even if Bummers hadv'e lost, we'd still be playing rubbish

We have been good since halfway through the 2nd quarter, ehich is similar to when we threw the Melbourne game away. Unlike the Melbourne game, I just want us to make Richmond earn it.

all between the eyes apparently. He was a beautiful kick for goal in the juniors

No. I think it is between his eyes. He looks cross eyed in most of his photos. Maybe he's seeing eight posts when he lines up.


I think you're pretty tough, don't I?

Cue another futile comeback which falls frustratingly short.

Agree. Give us something to hang on to over summer. Even a close loss will do me. So long as we play to our ability.

Who is supposed to be on Dusty anyway? Last time I am pretty sure there was a tag.

Look clearly everyone knows our goal kicking is crap. Exit out Hammill he can go back to his beloved carlton. Bring in Stewie Loewe or even Fev. Or Jason Heatly. Someone who knows how to kick properly.

Personally I'd be making them do 400 sprints then kicking for goal straight away when they are stuffed. Its no good practicing with all the time in the world and the ball already in your hand

I will never understand why we don't put a hard tag on Dusty. He is the only one causing problems


Some time soon.

So many times there is sheer panic when a player has the ball .. quick get rid of it, like Billings then .. and the Tigers milk it .. Gresh the only light today.

That is why we need someone who doesnt panic. The effect through the team will be enormous. I hope Dusty hates Hardwick as much as I do for taking all the credit for Carracella's coaching work, and comes to us.

dusty naturally hesitant about going to north, his best years down the ladder, but it's a lot of money to say no to. reckon if we'd offer the same we'd get him. but would we want to?

A commentator on SEN spoke about this about 2 months ago. Said it was our biggest problem. He said the importance of getting some silk in there would be unbelievable to the young kids.
