You're an elf
Richmond had a shit season and have made a near minimum of list changes.
Politically correct Richmond should have been doing everything it could to get another high talent player like Kirby on the list. Insteading of fondling yarren and the media perhaps.
Too much whinging about what others are doing

do clubs actually "hide" players?

They only had to play a richmond listed Vfl player instead of Kirby not hide him in a submarine

Not only unfair but wrong
Griffiths is often injured ~ Nankervis will play up fwd a lot.
Have you ever played footy? Everyone looks good in training (especially at AFL/VFL level). A game is completely different.
Plus if it ever came out we would probably get done for draft tampering and the penalties would far exceed any reward for someone was taken as a third round pick.
Ironically, Kirby is a known poor trainer. As confirmed by Craig McRae himself.
FWIW, I had a quick chat with a mate of kine who works for an AFL club that isn't the RFC (if you know where I am based it isn't hard to narrow down). They basically said that Kirby has always been known because he is an extreme talent. His biggest knocks were fitness and work ethic.
I asked him about if the VFL matches would have been a big deal and he said essentially it raised their eyebrows but didn't make them run to their draft board.
Pity we kept so much deadwood then.
Collingwood took him way too early. Not only is he a poor trainer but he is also quite overweight. Worth a speculative late pick, yes, but Collingwood pulling the trigger at 50 is just crazy.

Bolton described as having the ability to stand on someone's head In a contest.
Yet old fine eye says in the interview he won't be able to do that at afl level.
Why the **** do we not allow our players to play on instinct?

Yeah I really don't get that mentality.. fair enough a player may need to make adjustments to their way of playing when transitioning to AFL, but it seems crazy to me to not allow them to retain elements of their natural game, which they've probably been using to their own advantage their whole pre-afl career.. if the man likes to sit on opposition heads, then let him! Seems to work pretty well for Cyril

I thought it was Clarke that said that and it was tongue in cheek reference to Jack?
On a side note.... Kirby turned up to the Pies pre-season.......in thongs

Not really because he is a goal kicker with lots of tricks and well worth the risk.
Doesn't look overweight.

Yeah dude the bulldogs also totally stuffed up letting long play for there side and kick 6 goals. You say some truly dumb things and clearly don't understand how the system works.

Depends on structure to. You cant have your small forwards getting in the way of your talls marking. Smalls should be crumbing
He is for a professional athlete - 181cm and 89kg according to the pies website. He might turn into a star but it's a massive risk at that pick. (Not saying he's not worth a punt - but as a late pick or rookie only).

Producing match winniń performances in the 4th quarter of Vfl games IMO is proof his fitness is fine. Regardless of the fat allegations.
