I don't disagree.
But as a few people have said, if other players had the same LAST 10 games as his FIRST 10, there would be no argument about them being in the mix.

Should Dangerfield have won the MVP??

What a load of utter, utter shit.
We finish top 8 year after year despite haemorrhaging talent due to age. When we play well, which is by no means always, one of the primary reasons (aside from Dangerfield obviously) is that we play greater than the sum of our parts.
We have two legitimate stars, two or three relatively elite players behind them, and a group of solid Afl players. No more, no less. Like the swans sides pre-Buddy, we have stayed in the mix because we have a group that by and large play for each other and are unselfish.
While you haven't stated it expressly, I'm guessing you think Richmond are some sort of heart and soul team, probably because the supporter base stays massive throughout a barren 37 years.
Reality is your club has had talent dotted throughout its roster since Richo was in his prime but had delivered three fifths of f*** all for the precise reason that not one single member of the group has been able to get them to pull in the same direction for more than a few weeks at a time.
Suddenly getting your shit together for the first time in living memory doesn't instantly erase that.

I can't imagine how this wouldn't constitute some sort of restraint of trade law.
If you want to purchase something for a nominated price and the seller is willing to take that price, as far as I'm aware you can't block the transaction.

BS, like Sellars said, without Dangerwood around bottom 4 for Geelong!!
lol , how can Richmond get any talent with next to no father sons and finishing ninth all the time???
Do you think Richmond is where we are now on just ability??? Dream on!!!
Possibly the biggest load of shit I've ever read. Thanks for sharing.

Of course, because they are one of the parties involved. The transaction has to be approved by relevant parties to have any chance of being valid.

players arguing about whether they want to sit on desk B versus desk H is ridiculous!@!!
They are only relevant when it is not a club competition!!!

1. Selwood had 18 touches last night and no impact. So really it was just Dangerfield against the form team of the comp - and he didn't play on the centre for More than 20 minutes. To flog the living shit out of Sydney the rest of the side must have been doing something right.
2. Where did I say that Richmond are only where they are on ability? I said that for the best part of 20 years they've had ability, but less heart and soul than a f***ing sanitary pad, and the fact that their brilliant meeting of minds has finally led them to actually play like a team for one season doesn't erase that.
I wouldn't have a clue how they're supposed to do better. You have one of the richest football clubs in the competition and every resource in the world to figure that out so why would I give a f***?
Opposition camps can only keep using the father son thing for so long. We only got 4 players out of it, one of them was Mark Blake, so we actually lost out of that deal. Another of them has been very good but hardly the driving force of our success (Hawkins), another hasn't played for us in 8 seasons and the other hasn't played in 5.
We've never finished lower than 12th in our history so you can't throw that as an excuse for why we do well. The fact is we are well run, generally play as a unit and have done since Thompson nearly got the arse, and we've managed to find a way around most of the hurdles in front of us.
But no, because we lost a few grand finals in the 90s (with top-heavy sides but absolutely no second tier i might add) we lack heart and soul.
Tug it a bit harder mate and you can ice the cake.

You really don't cope well with other people succeeding do you.
First time I've seen someone accused of rorting a system by taking LESS money than they could otherwise get!

Seems like it is cap issues
Well, according to Rama, yeah - though I'm not sure what the 2-year offer was that was put in front of Menzel earlier in the year.
Possibly a bit of column a, a bit of column b.

I ****ing hate geelong and this post as well as yourself is utterly shit
This promised a truly spectacular rant, and I have to say you really delivered. Baryshnikov would have struggled to pull this performance off with such panache.
I'm not sure how on earth we lack "soul" - we have a pretty clear identity as a football club: we play football that's good to watch, and we're the club for regional Victoria, we're the only one-team-town in the AFL.
Yeah, or maybe we lost because while our forward line was spectacular, our backline of Schulz, Malekellis and Darcy were beaten by Brereton, Anderson and Dunstall.
There are only four players in that Geelong lineup from 07-11 who I would describe as ridiculously talented - Hawkins, both Abletts and SJ. Most of the players we acquired through Wells' astute recruiting who became champions didn't become champions overnight (Selwood the exception), or, to be honest, through having terrific natural gifts. [/QUOTE]
You can't just punch people in the head any more to win games (and you seem to omit that we started off 1989 by running through Brereton and busting Dipper's lung). Besides, 2009 was probably, physically, the toughest GF of the modern era and we won that one, too.
Three recent flags indicates that we're doing ok.
Yeah, Danger does take less so that he can play in a better team. If only he were as selfless as Dusty, trying his hardest to make sure that new recruits don't come in and upset the apple cart.

Flashes of inconsistency? Gee you post some dribble.
The bloke averaged 30 touches and almost 2 goals a game this year. Very definition of a consistent footballer.
If it wasn't for Dangerfield's suspension I think the result would have been a lot closer. Dangerfield's season is beginning to become really underrated. It wouldn't shock me if he comes incredibly close to winning the Brownlow count.
lol at trying to argue with Mr Magic 
They share their towns with rugby and soccer.
Excuse me I'm enjoying thislol at trying to argue with Mr Magic
