Don't really watch rugby but watched the AB v Argentina and Australia v Springbok games on Saturday at a pub with some work mates and found it to be surprisingly engrossing to watch. P.S love the Argentina top - was legit tempted to buy one, has the distinctive style the football side has but...

Been a while since I've gotten online so thought I'd check in and see how the thread was going haha. Bought one of these bad boys from IKEA over the weekend - pretty handy, frees up the dinner table again and I can now move everything around the house pretty easily, not a bad stop gap...

Maybe Caddy will be like to us as Ottens was for them? Fair to say Caddy probably has probably surpassed Craig Biddiscombe and Kent Kingsley as the best ex Geelong player at Richmond. :D

Goes without saying he's definitely gotten better this year. Last year I thought he was a good role player for us without being in our upper echelon. This year he could legitimately argue to be in the group of players right below our top tier talents (Cotch, Martin, Rance, Jack etc). Probably a...

Is there a minimum number of games a helmet needs to be worn to be eligible? :p Off the top of my head, Cotch wore a helmet for a few weeks during 2016 (possibly only 2-3 games). Polak might be one to swap in for Griffiths if you want an alternative swingman. Was a better defender than Griff...

Obviously would love Jack to get it but have a feeling Brown might win it. Has there ever been a tie for the Coleman? Can't think of any off the top of my head.

Just to add to that point, we still copped lots of flak even in snagging the premiership ('fluked it', 'worst premiership side in AFL history', 'gifted it by the AFL' etc). Proof that old habits die hard for some grubs. :p

We haven't even gone back to back yet - bit premature. Even if we do, a three peat still beats a two peat. That being said, if we are fortunate enough to do a 3 peat and it comes to which achievement is better...Richmond beat the 13-15 Hawks twice (2013 & 2015). :cool:;)

GWS scares me the most but I think we'll have them covered if we play them again at the MCG. Quite a few handy players to come in who didn't play in the match up there and we spudded it in front of goals way. Melbourne could be tricky if they get a roll of confidence and belief but maybe our...

Redalert talk over the weekend that Armstrong may be joining Rovers permanently in the next few days. Think a fee of 1.7m potentially rising to 3m is the reported figure. Hopefully we also put a resale clause in there in case he is sold again down the track.

Rondon has had a medical with us and is expected to be confirmed shortly. Gayle discussing personal terms with WBA and is expected to head the other way on loan plus 2m. Reports Rafa has been given the green light to sign 3 players before the window shuts. LB cover (young French LB Stanley...

Impressive start to the season for us with a 4-1 win away to Grimsby after going 1-0 down. All about consolidation again this season so it's good to start on a winning note.

Mafia 3 probably not a bad game for free. Probably didn't quite deliver on my expectations from the hype but it's still not too bad. Would be a pretty hefty download file size I reckon.

The game was originally crowd funded wasn't it? Maybe they didn't expect it would get to the point where multiple games could be a viable option for them and then wanted to keep the possibility open. Agree the ending was a bit 'wtf' - though I guess they are (hopefully) looking to continue the...

Been a while since I've posted in here haha. Been a few changes (unfortunately not of the frustrating Mike Ashley variety though). Out: Mitro 22m Merino 10m Mbemba 8m Sels 4m Total: 44m ~ In: Ki (free) Dubravka (4m) Schar (3m) Kenedy (loan fee maybe 2m?) Muto (9.5m - subject to work...

Most Toon fans reckon he will score more goals for you than whoever (likely Rondon) comes in to replace him. 22m rumoured fee with add ons taking it to potentially 27m. Good business for us - assuming all of the money is made available to Rafa. Love Mitro but wouldn't get much of a run under...

Not sure if anyone's chucked it up already but I think the Parma third kit is fantastic

new home and away kits for FGR - 18/20 season (that's not a typo, the club keeps the same kit for 2 years as part of it's sustainable and ethical efforts).

The last line was interesting - "As the rules currently stand, De Laurentiis would have to sell one of Bari or Napoli if the Galletti to manage to reach Serie A." Guessing that if they draw each other in a cup game, there is no issues there? Maybe Napoli could treat Bari as a feeder team for...

Could be worse, we could be linked to signing League two players. All about perspective I suppose. :p;) http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11451259/sunderland-consider-aberdeen-target-christian-doidge-of-forest-green-rovers

Had to look up what that was - one of my friends who collects action figures has one of those. :p

From one club without ambition to one that has it in abundance... :D Another big milestone for Forest Green :thumbsu: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/jul/30/forest-green-rovers-named-worlds-first-un-certified-carbon-neutral-football-club

That's it. In the 11 odd years of his ownership, our net spend has been on average about 4.5m a season (makes you wonder where all the TV money, 50k + gate takings, commercial sponsorships (looking past the free Sports Direct advertising) has gone. Rarely talks to the fans either so the...

I know - at the time of the poster, we had guys like Benny Nason out on the street rattling away for spare change so we could grab a bite (we'd racked up something like 6m of debt on the tab). We've come a long way (thankfully) since those days! :p

Back to back flags and back to back goal of the years on the cards. Just need Menadue or Bolton to do the GF sprint and clean house again. :cool:

Always seemed a bit of a polarising player. His best is very good and his worst is (as you'd expect) not great. Personally, don't think he is either under or overrated. Pretty much after announcing himself in the (2011?) GF, has been a pretty consistent key forward who's probably flirted with...

Things are looking good but still a long way to go. Largely a healthy bill of health at the moment but injuries can happen at any time. Definitely a few sore bodies in our side who we seem to be managing carefully. A resurgent GWS, Collingwood side with a few handy players to come back in and a...

Probably just a bit (understandably) hangry mate. They are still waiting for their meal (apparently the kitchen on Lygon street stuffed up the order quite badly and the wait is back on while they try and find the ingredients). Meanwhile, we've sauntered in after they were seated first, had our...

Townsend also had an equal game high 2 goal assists which is worth remembering IMO. Being a good forward isn't just about kicking goals but also being a functional team player who plays his role. Thought his last quarter was very good too - especially in that 10 min flurry at the start of the...

Just hoping all of the reported fee for Mitro is given to Rafa. Selling Mitro and potentially Gayle and bringing in Muto and Rondon (plus maybe having some cash leftover) seems like we are truly wheeling and dealing. Ideally we would bring another striker in too. Worrying signs for us given our...
