Mid season retirements so you can go to gold Coast might be becoming a Richmond tradition

Mid season retirements so you can go to gold Coast might be becoming a Richmond tradition

IF he's going to GC the Hardwick template is the ideal way to do it
Leave mid season, extended break and set himself up there
Adds another year of longevity too instead of during out 10 more meaningless games now

 

[Strange Cat]

Dusty just has to say he’s burnt out and retire and then leave

Follow the Hardwick template

 

[BotsMaster]

Bears or Saints tonight?

Retiring now then returning next year on the GC? That would confirm his character for many people.

Bears or Saints tonight?

Bears will break though the Lyon defense eventually to have a good win.

Either that or they will blast them out early and maintain their 1st 1/4 lead until the end

 

[Hamingja]

Not much room for error this week to try and tip 5 right to stay in last man standing.

Bears or Saints tonight?

Bears

Bears or Saints tonight?

Protest by turning your TV off

Bears or Saints tonight?

76 points all at full time

 

[Strange Cat]

Saints

Brions been shocking even at home …early night too won’t be watching it

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Been protesting Ross Lyon by not watching this game. An I missing much?

Or as the great Billy Ocean would put it...when the going gets tough, the tough get going...

The only Norm he deserved was the one against us. In 2017, Houli was BOG, in 2019 it was Prestia.

Disagree. Brilliant and high impact in every GF he has played.There are always unlucky second placers- Danger 22. GAJ 08. Would you say Smith did not deserve his Norm? Or Hodgey the 08 one?

Ross Lyon is still cancerous to AFL. Shit football for a shit club.

is a weak footballer.
Likes to give it, but flops as soon as anyone gives it back.
Rohan got a week a few years back for clipping him on the chin. He had it coming that night with his snide shit.
Bit like the Scarlett v Ballantyne one, a suspension that leaves you with a smile on your face.

Would LOVE that weak player in our team.

On that subject, it got me thinking about my all time favourite Geelong suspensions.
One's that made you feel good, and couldn't care how long they were rubbed out.

1 S.Hocking on L.Matthew in 1985. Mild mannered Shocking see's red and delivers retribution. Always had a soft spot for him after that.

2 M.Scarlett on H.Ballantyne. The guy had the most punchable face in football and Scarlett couldn't resist. Respect levels went up for him across the AFL.

3 S.Johnson on S.Baker. Knew he wasn't going to play for a few weeks injured, so took a free hit on Baker and gave him a taste of his own medicine. Cold, calculated and so Stevie J.

4 G.Hocking on B.Wira. Technically got off on appeal but if someone squirrel grips you, you have right to reply with a jab to the chin.

5. G.Rohan on L.Neale. If you throw the first one, expect the reply to come back with interest. It's human nature.

Surely Pickett deserved it in 2019 for that blind turn of the century... It was called play of the match wasn't it?

His goal from 100 meters out in the stands was better.
