I think the important aspect to concentrate on is Richmond will be one of the few teams this year to beat the eventual flag winner.

- The Swans played us once.
- I thought you supported the Lions?

bro what even is this season?
Port got a win i didn't expect and tipped over the Blues.
Geelong of course smack North
We beat Gold Coast at their house which in 2024 is kind of a big deal. And we are 2nd on the back of 9 straight.
Looool at Essington. Cooked
Melbourne are gone too, GWS looking set for September.
Freo had to work to beat West Coast, and are now 3rd
Pies beat the Tigers
Then the big result, Sydney slapped at home by the suddenly red hot Bulldogs
And Hawthorn continues their run to September footy smacking Adelaide in Adelaide.Last season Melbourne finished 4th, and lost 7 games all season. Currently Carlton are 4th, and with 4 to play have already lost 7 games. This is how Brisbane have snuck in to second.
-
Which team falls out of the 8 to make way for the Hawks?
Genuine 'anyone can win it' vibe at the moment, Swans been hit with injury and look flat.
Blues lose a few key players, 5 day break, but looked very flat indeed. Port completely locked them out in the second half.
-
picking anything this year is fucked but
GWS could easily not win again having re-looked at their draw. Hawks, Lions, Freo and the Bulldogs is basically the 4 most form teams.
I really wanted to say Carlton but they will at least beat West Coast

The Bomber fans meltdown on SEN radio this morning has been quite funny.
One supporter rang up and said I’ve been through all of high school, Uni and changed careers since the Bombers won a finals match.
-
oh i love a good AFL fan melt
I'll have to see if any where good enough to make social media
-
AFL sucks and the bloods may never win again, back to supporting no winning teams
-
Footy is fucking glorious aye @ACT-Crusader ?
yesterday was a crazy day.
With 3 minutes to go Hawthorn and GWS were close to swapping spots, with GWS looking like missing finals. Then 3 late goals and now GWS are 4th and the Hawks are probably done for the year.
Essendon could start booking september holidays and Freo were eyeing off second and then 5 straight goals, and a behind with a few seconds left, and the Dockers are 6th and Essendon aren't dead yet.Carnage at the top with the Swans beaten by 112, and Carlton losing again to drop to 8th.
Gold Coast are not a serious club.
North win the Spoonbowl.
Dogs with another percentage boosting win.And suddenly the top 4 are all interstate teams, and we are looking at Melbourne being devoid of finals in week 1
-
Brissy put on a masterclass. Their ball pressure was next level. Contested possessions, Saints were a +43 which is crazy. Saints simple aren’t good.
Then Hawks bubble burst and hopefully Sydney’s woes continue. Two teams I can’t stand.
-
Cam Rayner coming good has transformed the Lions.
Big games this weekend
Brisbane host GWS
Freo host Geelong
Carlton host Hawthorn -
Dustin Martin retires
One of the all time great careers, and arguably the greatest finals player ever. The driving force behind that Richmond dynasty, when shit got tight in a GF Dusty would be the one who did something unreal to win it. As explosive as anyone i have ever seen play.
Glad he got 300, glad he retires a Tiger and didn't take pay day on the GC.
-
And Tom Hawkins as well!
Two 3-time Premiership players on the same day.
In fact the combined accolades of the two guys announcing today
6 Premierships
1 Brownlow
1 Coleman
3 Norm Smiths
9x All Australian -
havent had a chance to look it up, are these end of the season or immediate?

As pleased as I am for him, as a club we should've made space. But that's the thrills of rebuilding...

Dusty is immediate i think (he's hurt i think). Hawkins for teh end of the season. I think he needs 4 goals for 800?

Richmond are obviously going to get some good draft picks, freeing up some salary must be handy in so far as a big rebuild
