Prodigal sons ranked. Players returning to their original club after spending time at another one. Clubs dont always hold it against the player for leaving or in some cases wish they hadnt traded him and bring that player back to the club. Somethimes it works somethimes it doesnt. How do they...

With the lockdown, books have become an option. Just read David Schwartz autobiography and was suprised at how honest he was about what type of bloke he was during his football career due to his gambling. He was prepared to take you through his selfish thinking throughout it all. The other...

Given... http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/paul-chapmans-future-at-essendon-in-doubt-as-contract-talks-break-down/story-fnp04d70-1227116933112 would anyone be interested if he was interested in grabbing another year. We would have salary cap room which would only be used up for a year. But...

Had alot of trouble watching tonight. Couldnt sit down and needed to walk around. Lucky I wasnt there. I found that the tension of watching the game was worse that when I was a kid. Poses the question, has our lack of finals over the years and dead rubbers at this stage of the season made...

Just wanted to get an idea of how many games people on here are likely to go to for the rest of the year compared to games you would attend if we had a season as projected. Just trying to guage the loss of attendance that the club will suffer as a result of our year to date. not trying to...

Would be a huge week for the club if we dropped one of these games after the cats game and for those who want change, then they might not be overly upset if it did happen. The cats will beat us but wont ream us to precipitate the type of call for change that these weeks may bring about. I think...

Friday night I will absolve all sins of this year if we can finally beat these *ers. (gooses was inserted by the swear filter. No idea who still uses that word. ) Does the Headlines next week read.. Tigers are back OR do they read. Swann answers critics with 40 possession 4 goal game.

My anticipation for something to happen next year will be at a peak and it will be hell waiting for it to happen. Even after Wallaces fourth year (false dawn) and Frawleys first year, I wasnt as eager for next season to start. Things should happen next year and people will be under the...

With Free Agency would you prefer your club use it to obtain that big name who you can consistently bank on and whose big game will take you close to winning. Or would you rather your club looked at all the players that frustrate but the club keeps on because they fill a role. Then used Free...

He is honest about his own experiences. Good watching and even gets a part II on Sunday. Going to start talking more about relationships with people. He cant believe he cant get a media gig. Loved the way he is irked by those that are getting media gigs. Looks pretty desperate to use this...

St Kilda have owned us for too long. Its a monkey to get off our back. Can we back it up. They are looking pretty good aswell. This is the type of game where we have failed in the past. Get the supporters wet and then leave them high and dry. Want to see that we are a different proposition...

Always thought BT was brave by being so candid about Leigh Matthews in his Diaries back in 1990 but Jolly certainly is no fan of Neale Daniher. Rarely hear players come out so hard on an ex coach. Not really a good word about Neale literally. Usually players might try and soften it up a bit. I...

With the retirement of Brad Ottens, who do you guys think is the ex Tiger who will perform the best over the next couple of years. A few good ones stand out. Shultz -> My first choice. If Port improve supply he could have a few days out. Polo -> My second choice. improving. Rodan ->...

I remember during hard times in the nineties starting up own business being out of food and waiting for single client to pay up. I ended up drinking some ice cream topping just to keep the sugar levels up. That is how it feels watching NAB cup.

No one challenges the skill that a coach had as a player in regards to whether they should be a coach and rightfully so. But given they implore hardness into every player do you think they need to have upheld that as a player in their own playing career. Guys like Leigh Matthews could tell his...

People will throw up Graham Teasdale but despite his win in the 1977 Brownlow he spent a number of years at Collingwood playing in the reserves. Otto was always going to be a big loss but is he the biggest?. potentially a three time premiership player who has already been big factor in...

Does anyone see two different agendas that Richmond need to be aware of. 1. Development of players and finding out who can play. 2. Avoiding an embarrassing loss by a decent margin. I think we can prevent it but on a bad day, all the teams we play with the exception of Adelaide can give us...

Chris Newman. If you were Carlton or Hawthorn and felt that with Collingwood having their two premierships that you were a genuine chance next year for the premiership, would you look at Newman for the next couple of years, even if you had to give up a fair bit of tommorrow for him. He...

I dont watch the show so just wondered if any of our players appear on it and appear to becoming a regular. I think Riewoldt and Deledio have been on. I know there is some marketing angle that is good for our players to make appearances like this. Maguire seems to understand that, ensuring...

Good win guys. Good to see Brown being what he needs to be for you. I thought he was very dissapointing in his suspension early in the piece given the need for all those blokes to be out there for the first half of the year. You can now say that every mature recruit has delivered. Even...

I can really think of two games that have been impressive this year. Essendon dreamtime and the Fremantle game at MCG. Other than that what games really have set us out as a side going somewhere. People would be happy to talk down Essendon and Fremantle but pump up the wins against...

read and article about him two weeks ago and their was an interveiw with him on Foxtels before the game coverage. Must be hard to be having your hips operated on at such a young age. Need to have enourmous faith in the Tigers coming good. Interesting that he said that its that faith in our...

Ablett must be enjoying his football to a reasonable extent despite the big losses because his form has been great. Then again he is a professional and could still turn it on under any circumstances. He can now compare playing at a side like Geelong and Gold Coast. He must have times when he...

Essendon have the bye and may be relying on North Melbourne losing to us in order to get a finals berth. Wasnt it about three years ago that we needed them to win against StKilda in the last round and they ended up being reamed and killing our chances. If we cant put a dent in their finals...

We are equal second last in regards to time in front at 30%. equal with Brisbane and ahead of Gold Coast. We are also second last in regards to quarters won only ahead of Gold Coast http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/ladder Have we won the games we have won by simply putting together...

Meaningless wins from here on wont excite me. We will beat Gold Coast in Cairns. But who cares. Might pinch another couple. Keeping Essendon out of the eight is all the breadcrumbs that I want while I watch other club supporters eat cake as they do each year. If we can keep Essendon...

Seems that most games have a trophy for each game. Essendon-Bulldogs is the Whitten cup - no idea why Essendon are part of that. Essendon-Richmond is Kevin Sheedy cup. Is there one for Carlton-Richmond. The Justin Murphy cup. The Chris Bond cup. The David Honeybun cup.? Seriously it...

A win against Melbourne would have meant next weeks crowd would have been a huge one. Its our home game. Carltons support wont drop off after today but had we beaten Melbourne, Richmond optimism would have been flying high and the MCG would be swelling. Its frustrating how many times we...

The bye is always tough to get through but this week is a shocker as far of games that we can alternatively look forward to as football followers. I dont see one game this weekend that can get me excited about watching. Nice week for tipsters but all games look shockers. Wont even watch...

Great game coming up and should be a closer affair than previous years. Always good to watch a game with a better understanding of the opposition so what do you guys think are the aspects of the Dogs that will beat us on Sunday (I assume you believe you will) I would be wary of the blokes...
