First 3 rounds have been nuts
Obviously as a Lions supporter i am up and about, and sourcing Grand Final tickets...
The Suns are 2-1, and were a smart piece of play from joining us at 3-0
Geelong are flying, 3-0 and have beat 3 teams most picked preseason to be top 4 (including me)
West Coast had a set back round 1, but are now going again, beating Collingwood again at the G is pretty big.Richmond? Wheels off? Not playing well, all the injuries they have avoided for the last couple of years coming at once. Martin to be suspended? Looks ugly at the moment
Melbourne look way off.
Adelaide look old in some spots. Their captain is just about their worst player as well. Losing twice already in Adelaide will be a serious concern.of course, 3 rounds in is waaay too early to make any firm predictions about anything. It's just been a very unexpected start to the season.

Yep richmond are in deep shit ,
Now its Rance Riewoldt Cotchin , their leadership group all gone , plus dusty ( who has been a bit shit anyway but is usually their best ) plus others gone , and they have had such a dream run with injuries , the guys coming in , almost half a team , are low on experience due to being very seldom needed ,
Oh well , the last 2 years were fun ,
Go Storm and the Blues

Time to develop depth and build into the season.
Also, two weeks for that? Ridiculous.

Credit where it's due, you've stuck with the Lions since you started following them, back in 2002-03?

@antipodean yep. So about 14 years longer than the average Richmond fan

Closer to seven statistically, well those that would actually become members. They had more during the great war than they did in 1987. Amazing what winning does.
Reds managed to fill out Suncorp not too long ago.

What did you think of Hardwick's post match comments?

Bang on. Players need to step up and not hope a Brownlow/ Norm Smith medalist plays brilliantly. ALso if the umpires are going to elt that shit happen off the ball, the AFL needs to accept a player will sooner or later take matters into his own hands.
I think we actually played better against GWS than we did the Pies, we just need to take our chances.

Dusty was dumb. Cheap shot. Hardwick needs to give him a serve I reckon. He’ll get two weeks and Richmond will lose the next two.

It was stupid and deserved punishment , My only complaint is the inconsistency, i
Pretty much identical to Tom Mitchell last year , who gets off scott free , wins the Brownlow ,
How does that work ?

@kiwiinmelb narrative
But two wrongs do not make a right
-
@mariner4life I agree , but those making these decisions should be made accountable, just like the players have to be with their decision making .

Dusty's suspension halved on appeal.

Probably the right outcome considering the impact. Shit act but didn't hit him too hard
-
@mariner4life haven’t seen the ruling yet but it looked medium impact.
-
Kennedys evidence worked in favor of martin ,
Giant Adam Kennedy – who was on the receiving end of the elbow – gave evidence via phone and described it as “a good knock”, but had maintained that he had stepped into Martin's path "to be a little bit of a nuisance", had expected impact and that he had first been struck on the shoulder. (HS)

@kiwiinmelb haha boys looking out for the boys. Classic.

And on my other monitor the Tigers overcome Port with a rookie midfield. Not going to lie, tipped the other way.
