Pies & Hawks are both young up and coming teams. Their form will spike all the time, i don't think we should start overrating the wins against them based on a spikeAll of a sudden our form against Pies and Hawks doesn't look too shabby at all.

In English this means : “ultra edge didn’t show it hitting the post so we needed a way to make sure we didn’t embarrass the goal umpire or give Martin and Richmond a goal”…..
What a disgrace … I can’t actually believe that reasoning. Maybe there was no spike on ultra edge because it didn’t hit the friggin post! How on earth would anyone know a spike didn’t register because of crowd noise and it being too high..?? AFL are genuinely corrupt.

And Edwards always presented in the best possible condition.
flipping cheating campaigners , remember they used it in QF v lions shai kicked one of the best goals of all time , called a goal , overturned by snick a meter in a final 4q crowd at feverpitch ,,,, I smell a rat
Stack is one of the least deserving of that level of investment.
Constant off-field problems, constant conditioning problems. Edwards was a pro from day 1 and did the team things all the time. Stack's career is where its at because of himself. FFS Syd played his first 17 games straight before injury hit - he was given the keys & he threw them in the river
We're going to have to play a smaller forwardline for at least the next week which is going to rely on Jack being the centerpoint. He hasn't needed to do that role for a full game for quite some time. It would mean that Dusty/Bolton and the Nank/Soldo rotations will become far more crucial too.
Another possibility is that we bring in Ralph-Smith as a mid sized target. He has proven that he has excellent goal sense and was very damaging in the air and in setting up others when he played in that role at VFL level in the past. He could also take up the Lambert role if required.
Stack was excellent in the VFL game too. If we're going smaller in F50, Stack would give us the defensive pressure and X-Factor to cause the opposition defense huge headaches.
Edwards looks like he's struggling to play our games atm and Pickett needs to return. Aarts can make way as sub for Edwards.
So my changes would be -
Out: Lynch, Lambert, Aarts
In: Ralph-Smith, Stack, Pickett
Sub: Edwards

I was trying to work out how umpiring corruption can be proven … and whilst I don’t believe it’s blatant cheating instructed from above, there’s no doubt a decent amount of ‘wink, wink’, ‘nudge, nudge…. make sure the Tigers earn them’ in relation to the umpiring we cop. But how to prove it …..
Then it came to me …. in finals the games are umpired by the BEST umpires. By umpires who’ve been the best during the season. By senior umpires unlikely to be swayed by head office ‘nods and winks’. And under the bright lights of finals no umpire is going to risk blatant inconsistency to screw over the Tigers.
So what do the stats show? From 2017-2022 in Home and Away games our free kicks are:
Frees for: 2,000
Frees against: 2,428
In the same period …. playing the exact same style of football under the same rules, here is our finals free kick record:
Frees for: 223
Frees against: 227
If that isn’t enough cold hard evidence of corruption then not sure what is..?? That cannot be a coincidence to be 50/50 in finals and completely reamed in home and away.

How about deadshitruck
I too have thought that however I concluded broad incompetence during HA as opposed to best in class during finals
I think the question of selecting Gibcus or Hobbs was never really a question.

I remember him … trained his arse off. Never an ounce overweight. Never an off-field issue … ever. Gave himself every opportunity to thrive and we supported him accordingly.
I think we should keep supporting Stack … but it’s a woeful message to play Stack ahead of Edwards or Castagna if Stack isn’t 100% dedicating himself to football. The fact a player of his immense talent is in the VFL makes it very clear he isn’t.

I've said it before & i got laughed at - but to suggest that the umpires are corrupting and conspiring against us, is to also suggest that the AFL itself is.
So the question is more "Why are they" then any type of "how"
When we were winners we all just thought it was because it was there way of "evening things back up". But now, that is clearly not the case, why has it gotten worse. I've clearly said i think it was the hub & Dimma's behaviour and comments (doubt the recent weed comments went down well) - but what other motives is there?
That has definitely never been a problem for him, dude had muppet arms for the first few years
That was awesome
no dispute about him, he really needs to make an impact or his talent is going to waste, my angle is on his upside, remember he stood up for us late last year when many did not. so he did rise to the occasion and is capable of doing the same this year, just needs consecutive games.

time to return the traditional Richmond yellow
hobbs is a pick 65
Will any of our players get cited by the MRO?
…for like giving someone a dirty look….not smiling when a free was paid against you….not kissing the maggots Lily white arse when you got a soft one
you never know

Yes, but incompetence should help and hinder us in equal measure.
