McKay is severely limited and almost a liability.
More of an In Bruges guy?

Good question. They’re having a great run, not sure they’ve faced a super challenge yet be interesting to see how they go against an in form contender.
I’m still dubious but they’re doing everything right, with pretty much the same personnel that haven’t handled the expectations well in the last couple of seasons.
Rd 11 will be a good guide. (I’m confident)

They just grind sides down. Why teams let them set up with an extra, I've got no idea.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

And the fact they have a fairly easy draw. Will be lucky to lose 3 games I reckon from here.
I will never see #16 the same!!

Where do you think the improvement has come from? Yze maybe?

Re: AFL Game Day R9 2021
The cheek of Hardwick whinging that Richmond supporters don't like going to Marvel andf that he hates going there as well.
And then we had Noble preaching for a priority pick after the club intentionally dismantled the playing list.
These coaches know how to work the media over to potentially get their own way.

That seems to be the consensus and why we should be making some changes with our coaches along the way.

I never get the Marvel bashing, why does it have to be compared to the G? We get it already.
I think level 2 is by far away the best view in the game, and it has a roof !
It needs updating for sure but first world problems hey.
My guess is the G tenants dislike it because they don’t win there as much.

He would have been an asset but given the restrictions on the footy department you can understand why we probably couldn't add him.

Potentially. Seems to be a collective buy in to defend across the ground and just do the basics right all the time, which probably comes with maturity. They don't have a lot of young developing players in the side anymore, really in the prime age group to contend.
That and teams let Lever play on his own every game. Why, I have no idea.
Plus, they've left the state once.

Left the state to play norf on a neutral deck.
I agree it’s hard to bash the dees as they will be undefeated and have knocked off the tigers and cats. They haven’t put a foot wrong. Yet there’s just a feeling they haven’t really been tested. They’re top 4 no doubt but I feel they got the cats and tigers at their worst.
All in all it wouldn’t be the worst thing to come up against them at 10-0. That’s well and truly due for a loss territory. I just hope we’re 9-1 at the time and take top spot from them.

They’ve got Crows over there next week, interesting little match up.
