Not sure how I feel about this game so far. Don’t like Hardwick, don’t like Richmond. 🤷🏻‍♂️
My dislike of Richmond is bigger than my dislike of Hardwick, plus its funny watching Shitmond get battered by Maccas FC.

Tigers are now their bunnies. All the GC best and biggest wins against 15thmond.
 
You know, I've often hung my hat on us having drafted at least as many kids as early as Richmond, and before that more than Hawthorn....

I may need a new yardstick
9 top 25 picks vs 1 (Gibcus)

Its like saying the yard stick is we're both employed. The difference is, we just earn a lot more.

Our record score might be in danger next week based on Carlton last night and whatever you call what Richmond has dished up in this first half.
Next week feels like one of those games where because the expectations are on Carlton they will bottle it.
Has happened before, will happen again. Plus Richmond have lifted this second half.
 
Just an armchair observation, but with all these major injuries - and we ain't even finished Round 1 - you wonder if a Winter sport should be starting in what's now basically still Summer. The grounds are at a 'professional' standard, but must be hard as concrete. There's no doubt teams will be asking for bigger lists and even bigger bench numbers. To justify, the AFL will spread the season out even longer.

And to just think...a 17 Round Season, every team playing each other once...elite players fresh...starting in April/May...ending on that last day in September. Sigh...
 
Matt Rowell out of contract at end of 2025…. Handy midfielder sans Danger, Duncan, Guthrie…..

Also Tom Brown, Noah Balta, and Thomson Dow. If you count Balta being 24.

Still, I was always putting the measure at something like top 40 and we drafted a fair few since I last checked.

On the measure of 25 and under taken before pick 30 we're only like 4 picks behind hawthorn in building the future list.

Will have p check but the injuries that are coming o mind don't seem to have much to do with the ground like Docherty and Coleman's
