RICHMOND vice-captain Liam Baker has copped a one-game ban for his high hit on Sydney's Lewis Melican on Sunday at the MCG.
Late in the second term of the Tigers' nail-biting win, Baker went back with the flight of the ball and collected Melican, who was running forward to take a defensive mark. The Swan got to the ball first before being struck in the head by Baker's right arm as the Tiger jumped into the contest.

It was the right decision for Ted to keep playing after 2020 but not for the club.
He had a great year last year, which got the team on the cusp of finals but never challenging, which is truly the worst place for a football club to finish.
Retiring a few years ago would have allowed them to bottom out, hit the draft harder and develop a forward line around Fogarty and Thilthorpe. Instead he's disrupted their development by remaining the sole focal point of their forward line and put them in a worse draft position.

RICHMOND star Tom Lynch is set for another significant stint on the sidelines after suffering a serious hamstring injury late in Sunday's win over Sydney at the MCG Richmond will also be without Noah Balta for up to five weeks after the swingman suffered a knee injury in the final seconds of the five-point win against the Swans.
Just seen a replay of that. One week is what it would have got last year. We have new standards now, remember? No, I thought not.

Fair effort by these blokes.
329/403 games
320/354 ........... 2nd highest %, 90.39%
305/347
301/332 ........... highest %, 90.66%
300/350
I looked up Lockett's record, he only didn't kick a goal in 12 of his 281 games, so his goal percentage was 95.73%.
The 12th time he was held goalless was his 167th game, so he went 114 games straight kicking at least 1 goal, which included those 3 pretty average games he played in 2002, after being retired in 2000 and 2001. He kicked 1,1,1 in those 3 games, from 1,2,2 kicks.
Dunstall had been held goalless in 11 of his first 248 games. That 248th game was the 1996 QF against the swans, where he did his ACL, but he kicked 1.3 from 4 kicks before doing his knee. He played 8 games in 1997 and was held goalless 3 times, inc the 8th game where he did his ACL again and then he played 13 games in 1998 and kicked a goal in each of those games, then retired.
So just like so many other stats, he was just pipped by Lockett again, with 14 of 269 games he was goalless, so his 1+ goal games percentage was 94.79%

The initial claim by the HUN was that the supposed player rift stemmed from a player visit to Las Vegas. The fact is the players' trip to the US went nowhere near Las Vegas so that shows how much fact checking and integrity went into the 3AW/HUN stories.
But everyone knows the HUN is clickbait crocksh*t - almost on par with the Adelaide Murdoch rag. So why give them the time of day?
Sad fact is that these gutter rags thrive on controversy and reality pays no part in their storytelling. An orchestrated boycott from a Brisbane based team is just the sort of notoriety they would love. It's counterproductive and just gives the story legs.
A dumb move if true.

Might be just me, but I've never thought this guy had much idea at all.

Probably Pav at 6?? Pav is better than all but Franklin in that top 5, and by a long margin for some of them. Criminally underrated. Ditto tredrea, but he probably loses cred due to not having the same longevity and battled in his latter years due to his knee.
Jack Riewoldt is overrated. How the **** anyone would rate him ahead of his cousin, Pav, Tredrea, Lloyd, Brown or even Richo is beyond me.

Yeah, Nick Riewoldt is probably the all round best of the lot (apart from Franklin).
Tredrea's best was as good as any, but the dip in performance would see him below NR and Franklin, but surely he's at the very least, top 6.

Tredders the only one to win AA in his position four years running, should have been five. Dominated all his contemporaries at the time.

Tredrea a chf
Add Barry Hall to the list of missing players clearly better than Hawkins and Jack Riewoldt.
If longevity isn’t the key criteria, Fev’s peak was far higher than those two as well.
We should have done this a few times to be fair.
We did it to 5double-eh last year.
It's like Andy Maher forgot about every decent forward from the 2000's.
