I've heard a few time now that their time is coming to an end and that is wishful thinking. As long as they have Dusty they will remain a force. The defence is automated, they have two big marking forwards and don't even need a decent ruckman to win three premierships. Port and Geelong have beaten them when they've had injured blokes and Brisbane has beaten once in what, a dozen years? Agree about Richmond Union but unfortunately it's still the most successful game in town.

Seeing as I'm so consistently wrong I can't possibly put on a better mocker than this. It's up to you now boys!

They're making a mockery of the free agency as players will go there for less for the chance of playing in a premiership team.


We're talking about Richmond mate not Geelong.
PAFC. Forever.

It's funny being a Cat. The only team that isn't going to go as well as last season while all other 17 teams are optimistic at this time of year.

Could play 1st to 120 wins.

4 points for the winner for getting 120 in standard game time
2 points to the loser if they reach 100 in standard game time.

3 and 1 if it needs extra time to get there.

Or a variation of this, slightly lower targets.
Or games could go to full regular time with no first to 120 wins, just have that as the target for bonus points

Everyone's happy, AFL get close to guarenteed amount of adverts.

A bit more than that. Unlike 12 other clubs sucking on the AFL teat.

That is great if teams play all their games at Etihad. If games are played in Tas, Canberra or the Gold Coast in the rain, that changes the dynamics. The competition is unfair as it is and this adds another unfair dimension IMO.

This argument comes up everytime its mentioned, there is no difference inn the scoring at Ethiad to anywhere else, infact its lower. As for in the rain, that happens now, can be wet on Friday night at the G and dry on Sunday afternoon

Yes.

On non match days, he will mentor other coaching staff and executives, which I find hard to fathom. That said, the inner workings of an AFL club are/would be very different to clubs down the pay grade.

So Roos is going to coach the coach of the Roos who was apparently the best candidate to coach the Roos and was subsequently appointed the coach of the Roos? So if the coach of the Roos gets the arse, does that means Roos coaches the Roos or will he still be the coach of the new coach of the Roos?

8.4 million if they include the grant they received from the Vic government.

Not bad considering revenue fell by $119 million.
