Agreed.

I have Melb higher based on talent but at the bottom of the list based on their capacity to choke up under pressure.

that said, i think they are the one side in the top 8 that could go on a momentum fueled ride through September if they can perform well in their first final

I agree with that but Hawthorn are the only team clever enough tactically to win the big dance if they get there.

We have beaten Sydney, Collingwood and GWS so far this season. I think we can win at least one and defy this prediction.

Is Brendan Goddard a chance this week to be the first ever AFL player suspended for striking a team mate?

Before I make a judgement does anyone know what his experience or knowledge of AFL is.

On the face of it seems extremly token but open to been corrected.


Richmond supporter who used to be the mascot as a kid (seriously)

Turns out he was at the AFL in his media role and has not been asked to meet with Steve Hocking at all. Poor form from whoever reported on that first

And you're shocked by journalists having a guess?

Thank you-know-what for that .. Personally not a fan of Blight’s involvement either, but I’m probably just a dinosaur in thinking no new rules are needed at this stage (just scrap the ruck nomination).

I like Fagan, he seems like a good bloke BUT he can also get the best out of his players as evidenced by some of their wins and performances this year.
