Maybe they just need a fifth umpire? That should help

how about they pull their finger out of their arse and make em full time

the campaigners still have their stupid quackery chiropractor back cracking day jobs during the week

also an investigation into afl and umpire cheating from the afp wouldnt go astray

One thing that will be interesting is how we go in terms of free kicks

We have been told our game style and coaching led to us giving away more so if that’s true we should be giving less away this year and Gold Coast should be getting penalised more

how funny is it when the tigers lay a textbook holding the ball tackle, swing the campaigner around and its play on

pies just touch a campaigner and they get payed htb every time

Nah the AFL implemented the rule changes. What other sporting code in the world has the non-stop changes to rules that AFL has had recently? You don't change the rules of chess because there's one dominant player for a short period of time, do you?
There's natural ebbs and flows with gameplans and tactics that have always occurred. You don't just completely alter the fabric of the game so certain tactics can't be used. A game thats existed for a hundred years. Next year there's a new tactic employed and here comes the rule committee to stamp it out. Eventually we'll be left with a game where 22 players line up and have shots at goal for 2 hours, whoever kicks the most wins.

What about RCD pick 20 in 2018?

Hmmm, and other sides never ever make first round mid range selection errors I’m assuming? None of the players debated were top 5, or even top 10 selections. Get a grip people, every single club in the competition have made drafting errors In the first round.
Easy sitting back in hindsight. We won 3 premierships through solid drafting, long may that continue.
With any luck, we will get into the pointy end of this years draft by swapping out our mid range picks for much higher selections. Plenty of academy and FS picks meant to be up the top of this draft. I’m sure Blair and Matt Clarke will use our picks wisely to upgrade where they can.

Only thing it’s useful for now is if a mark is taken inside of it.

Same as the 50 meter arc. Has no practical use at all. No doubt the AFL will bring in an 9 pointer at some stage in the future

Feel like it's absolutely foolish to try and predict how teams go purely on paper. Last year tipping was a bloody nightmare for like the first 10 rounds because there were "upsets" everywhere. It's a very even competition.

That's my point tho, I don't think our list is balanced (which is fine noting our success) and I think apart from gws and saints last year, the ladder was pretty predictable.

Not really after RD 13 the Blues were bottom 4. They then went on to win their next 10 games straight, no one saw that coming.
Blues ended up finishing 5th, they played off in the prelim.

waiting for the multi-ball to come in personally. once a quarter a second ball gets dropped into the field of play by a drone. both balls are active until one goes through for a goal/point then it's removed from play. would be absolute chaos.

Lennon was an undersized Key Forward and Ellis just wasn’t quite athletic enough for the big time

I’m not sure Sonsie has the same physical impediments those other guys had

Lennon really wanted to play like a key forward but didn't have the height. It's funny cripps after him was taken as a midfielder but then grew in height to become a clearance player but Lennon didn't grow anymore.
 

AFL 2024: Daniel Rioli talks shaking off injury, possible midfield move, Maurice Rioli​

After a battling 2023, Richmond dasher Daniel Rioli is looking ahead to exciting times under new coach Adem Yze, which could involve a different role in the Tiger team.
https://archive.md/kvjfN#share-tools



AFL: Dustin Martin will be returning to full form for the Richmond Tigers after recovering from a nasty hamstring injury.
Richmond dasher Daniel Rioli says new coach Adem Yze has dangled the carrot of some midfield time as a shock weapon like cousin Cyril Rioli in his Hawthorn glory days.
It comes as Rioli backed in his close relative Maurice Rioli to put his new-found maturity on show in a make-or-break season at Punt Road.
Tigers defender Rioli has packed a full career’s worth of moments in his eight seasons as a triple premiership small forward with a Goal of the Year award before winning All Australian 40 honours in 2022 as a half back.
Now the 26-year-old has a new coach in Yze and potentially new challenges despite his desire to again dominate at half back after limping through 2023 with a niggling ankle injury.
Rioli said instead of spending time on the training track he too often had his ankle in a bucket of ice as fluid in the joint saw him playing hurt for interim coach Andrew McQualter.

McQualter missed out on the new role for former Demons star Yze, who honed his coaching skills in a side with star small forward Cyril Rioli during their premiership era.
Daniel Rioli is again injury free and told the Herald Sun he still wasn’t sure how to take Yze’s suggestion of some midfield minutes.
“He wants me to play mostly half back but he made a comment to me: “What is your nickname? What about ‘Silk”,” Rioli told the Herald Sun after the club’s intraclub clash on Wednesday.
“He said if we needed a ‘Cyril’ or a Shaun Burgoyne to provide spark in the midfield why not? They were ‘Mr Fix-it’ players. He did make that comment and obviously I want to play half back this year. I haven’t played a lot of midfield time in my AFL career so I am excited if that does come about. Midfield, forward, back to the backline, I am happy. He has got a lot of confidence in our players and I am thrilled to play under him.”
“Last year was a bit of a roller coaster for us. We all have confidence in Yze’s game plan and what he brings to the club.”
Last year Rioli’s stats were almost identical to his breakout 2022 as a defender – resulting in a fifth-placing in the Jack Dyer Medal.
But too often he hobbled into games and played through contests despite re-injuring his ankle.
“It was tough with the injury and I just tried to do the right thing for the team to get out there. A nice off-season helped. I got off my legs for a bit and I am cherry ripe now but there was heaps of fluid on my ankle that kept bugging me through the year,” he said.
“I couldn’t even walk on it at some stages. The ankle was a bit blue and I had to be at home with an ice bucket every night and that got me through but I had a good physio who looked after me.”
Post-season Rioli and partner Paris Lawrence escaped for some sightseeing to Tokyo before returning to his home in the Tiwi Islands over Christmas.
The club had urged third-year forward Maurice Rioli to rededicate himself to his fitness across the off-season given his tank did not allow him to get to enough contests in a ten-game 2023 AFL season.
He returned in adequate rather than outstanding shape but Daniel Rioli said he had made up for lost time since then.

​

“Obviously Maurice has got a long way to go. He’s still young and he’s pretty raw to this game so we know what a good pressure player he is. He is now (in good shape). I go home a lot and have a lot of bush tucker which puts me over that scale a bit,” he said.
“We both try to come back in reasonable shape but obviously the club has good programs through training. He has been good. He is still young and learning and if he doesn’t come back as fit he’s got a good program with physios and coaches who talk him through things
“He is still getting to that stage where he is maturing. He is only 21 years old and this year he needs to get into it and show the people what he’s made of.”

Na not a full time midfield role
Just for a couple of contests a game

Plenty of similar players are used the same way
