This Richmond jumper stinks

 

[Minga]

Again maybe I’m biased but I think we play the G better anyways

Certainly did under Ratts, used the space real well. Yet to be seen how that’ll go under Lyon, but I get the impression we might go alright at Marvel now days with our new style. Choke teams, and return attack fast. But then again, my tactical analysis is about zilch

Big test next week. Will need to be good at the G if we ever want to win a grand final

Absolute kudos to the Port Post Mortem Thread.
Poll: Should we sack Ken Hinkley?
Options:
(a) Yes
(b) Yes

What's Jason Horne Fransis going to think when Hinkley is sacked.

He did say he left North Melbourne because of the instability of the coaching staff

100%, certainly should be alright considering how much of a running side we are. Hoping for a Saints Hawks at the MCG in 2022 esque game next weekend, that was a lot of fun.

comes off as dumb as a stump

 

[Barrels]

Young Daicos is a legit Brownlow chance at 20.

Wouldn’t we love a F/S freebie like that…

Watching him kick running at full tilt without even a step to slow slightly is like watching Judd or Ablett, his skills are unreal.

He was good off Half Back.

Yeah hopefully he has a Buckley career, not because I particularly dislike the guy but don't want top draftees going home to be rewarded

 

[bergholt]

Yeah real shame about that, would love for the Saints to play at the G more, but will make do. The Saints/MCC combo membership isn’t worth it IMO, not for me at least, so agree there.

I dropped my MCC membership a few years before covid, have never regretted it tbh

He married a love island contestant

I just hate the way he went about it at North.

You put the effort in as a young player. You don't sook it up because you got drafted to the worst team in the comp

 

[austinnn]

You can’t knock their supporters. What would we get at the g versus port 25k? I think they hope to get that next Saturday against Essendon. It really should be 80k with the publicity.

Absolutely. Any Saints fan who whinges about how powerful they are compared to us needs to look st how many of us actually get to games. Pies' gate smashes ours wherever they are on the ladder.

Ablett is a good comparison. We’ve been looking for the next dusty or bont or danger for so long we forgot about the next Gazza. He’s got the elite class and skills and consistency

 

[bergholt]

I suspect maybe Adelaide won't be much good this year, just a guess though

 

[Hubnester]

You need to flesh this out and create a Wikipedia page ...

Haha that's how I was going to present it initially, but rightfully decided that would be far too much effort

 

[austinnn]

He was good off Half Back.

Rate these current half back warriors:

Jack Sinclair, Harry Sheezel, Nick Daicos

Pies ladder position since 2010.
1st, 4th, 6th, 11th, 12th, 12th, 13th, 3rd, 4th, 8th, 17th and 4th.

Mid table to top most of it.

St Kilda? Anchored to the bottom.

No wonder pies fans show up

Daicos 1. Sheezel 2. Sincs 3

 

[austinnn]

Bot Tocu was a Japanese kamikaze pilot in WWII famous for actually surviving after he crashed his plane into an Allied warship. He escaped the wreckage on the flight deck, and helped the Brits put out the fire and assisted in navigating the ship to safe waters. What he's saying is he needs to throw himself at the contest like a madman but without hurting himself, and then while no one is looking, swap jumpers and sneak into the Brisbane rooms after the game to sing the song and claim the win.

So are we looking for Josh Bruce to do a Bot Tocu tonight?

Sincs gets downgraded purely based off the team performance.

They've never really been "anchored to the bottom" but their fans show up no matter how shit they've played.

As for us, we've been a mid table team for nearly ten years, yet we couldn't dream of getting their gate numbers.

They have the tickets in the bank to spend or they're actually good at selling the club.
