Pity they're not playing it in Tasmania...

hey hey

Not my fault we've been given the bye

I'm going to Tassie by the way ... We have huge support down there, will be a pro-Richmond crowd & should be a tremendous pounding now you have exactly zero backmen to stop Richo.

Yet still ... They have won more premierships than the sh*t stains ...


Tambo ... lol Talk to me in 3-4 years time ... We'll see whether Richmond made the right choice choosing a small midfielder/crumbing forward ahead of a HFF ...


Then again, we could always discuss the idiocy of the sh*t stains in picking Whitnall mark #2 ahead of Ryan Griffen .....
------------------------------------

I'm sorry Kev, but I didn't bring up last years draft, so cut me some slack!

I hate the offseason.....bring it on :D

Yeah me too. Looking forward to seeing Richmond play finals again :) :)

Dunno what the sh*t teams like Hawthorn and Carlton are going to do though, especially Hawthorn, have traded away most of their experience in the expectation they would be able to tank another season and pick up more priorities in the Super Draft ... AFL is about to change the rules on them :lol:


Poor Hawthorn, still living in a dream world where they beleive they are a power house club ...

You secretly have a soft spot for the Hawks, just like you do for Manly aye Melly :p :lol:

Richmond supporters have "softspots" for every other club, Chile...

This is why they consistently talk about every other club other than their own.

Perfectly understandable, all things considered.

KPP takes longer to develop though Franklin played very well while Tambling a midfielder was predicted to go number 2 :lol:

We have 2 valuable Kpp's in Roughhead and Franklin. Griffen is just a midfielder with a strong sense of the ball, we already have that in Mitchell thank you.

KPP ?

We are talking about Franklin ......

This is the laughable thing, you try and turn him into a CHF and you'll ruin his career ... Just like Richo's ...


Mitchell ... :lol: Not a patch on what Griffen will become.


Yep, Tambo was predicted to go #2 - Hawthorn made a mistake, Footscray were always going to draft Griffen (Right choice in my opinion) whilst Richmond cleaned up Hawthorn's mistake at #4.

Keep bagging us off sh!t stains ... Richie has been injured.........

Pfft, no soft spot for a club whose guernsey looks like a piece of used toilet paper ...

English lad to Swedish lass - "You didn't think my dick was too small did you?"

Swedish lass to English lad - "No, it was huge!"

English lad (chuffed) - "Huge? You really think so?!"

Swedish lass - "Yes, absolutely... (then, distracted by Chihuahua puppy) "Oh, look at that huge dog!"

Tasmania has long been a Hawthorn stronghold, which means that you and your Chihuahua mates will be feeling like hardline mormons at a porn convention when you rock-up to Aurora next season.

There'll be more chance of Kayne Pettifer hearing his heart beating (180 to the dozen) over the sound of our smallest player's footsteps ringing in his head, than there will be of you and your fellow cheerleader wannabes being heard over the pro-Hawk din that pervades the ground.

Assuming the old man is still fit then, it shouldn't be a biggie. Richo has long been one of the weaker tall forwards going around below his knees, and if we can be sure of anything, its that Aurora will have that gale wind swirling. I'd just put Croad on him and let him run away with the ball at will.

Still, I'm pleased to see you acknowledging your side's total dependency on the old bloke. :badgrin:

Franklin will become a great wingman/ ruck rover with the odd game at CHF similar to Adam Goodes but with more athletic ability.

The great Mick Malthhouse said earlier in the year something like that Mitchell reminds him of Greg Williams, thats a big fekking wrap if you ask me

I will give Tambling the benefit of the doubt to prove himself this year but the hawks made the right decisions in the 04 draft.

Pfft, I made 1 smart arse remark about the pre-season draw... Mostly directed at you.

It was your fellow sh!t stain that launched into Richmond's 2004 recruiting, not me about Hawthorn's.

Chile, you want to know when this all started?

Hawthorn supporters have never forgiven Richmond for embarrasing the bottle blonds on the MCG after they had jumped out to a nearly 9 goal lead a few years back. The cowards went home midway through the 2nd quarter and gave up what should have been an unassailable lead.

Add that to Dr Pink telling them he was interested in going to a real powerhouse to increase his star quality, Wallace wanting nothing at all to do with coaching them & ending up with a nothing coach who has taken them beleive it or not even further backwards, and you can see why they have an inferiority complex about us - As you can see by the response my tiny little jibe about the pre-season cup had one of the ferals rolling out gods gift to football Lance Franklin in defence of their club.

I feel it's my god given right to consistently rub it in their faces.

Still fit? Pfft, he played every single game injured (after the first st kilda thumping) and still dominated most backmen. I think you'll find Richo will chase Croad up the ground...


BTW - I've always without fail stated Richo IS Richmond Kev.

Jeez make up your mind ... LMAO


He is a Hard running HFF.


If you use him at CHF he'd be wasted.


Franklin may be able to play but this ridiculous bagging by Hawthorn people is getting beyond stupid now. Franklin is a HFF - We have MORE than enough of them.

Tambling was the better choice.


& if you want to get into praise given by legends ... Michael Long has stated quite clearly he expects Tambling to become the best Aboriginal player the game has seen.

Now THAT is real praise.

You said Franklin is not a Kpp, i was just finding alternative positions (wing & ruck rover) if he doesnt become a kpp.

What does Michael Long Know, hes only really played the game and is not an expert analyst.
