Because he's ******* awful. Only rivals Tom Mitchell for biggest accumulator/no hurt factor.

I'd rather give Rocky another year.

Hang on is this a Richmond hone game?

Bizarre isn't it. Supposedly some of these shifted games were with a view to where teams are meant to be playing the following week, but both Richmond and Brisbane are due to play at the MCG in R19. Meanwhile this week they've moved two all Vic games up north and kept the two MCG games as is, plus of course sending our team from a safe place to a place of danger.

yes, they have wisely moved this game to Qld because it would be unsafe to have it in locked down Victoria ...... wait a minute!

Good that the game was delayed though, gave them all that extra time to talk about the Tigers

 

[davesnothere]

Richmond are on.

 

[afl2004]

Songs playing between centre bounces yeesh

Would like to know how Tredrea's stats debut - 2005 stack up, until injuries and the dreaded decoy role sunk so much of his output.

Even just plodding with average numbers 2006 - 2010 should have seen him smash many others but he had a coach actively sabotaging his returns (and Warren being a club first man was ok with it).

Not including 2009 of course. He could've been having a 2009 every year.

Unpopular opinion incoming, but I reckon Fevola was better than Tredders at their respective peaks. Fevs stats read off as someone who played in a flag contender year in, year out, not for the perennial wooden spooners. He's incredibly underrated and if he played in a side competing for flags or just wasn't a dickhead off the field, he'd be on par with Buddy as the best KPF this century.

Fev was undoubtedly a champion, but they're hard to compare. It was an era where CHF and FF were genuinely different positions instead of the modern era where they're all just key forwards.

I don't think we're as good in the early 2000s if we swap Tredders for Fev. Still good, but Tredders was so much more than just a goalkicker.

 

[philthy05]

Fev was a lead out of the goal square FF who was great.

Put him in this era and he would be pretty good still, but way less output.

put him in our team in this era and he would find it pretty damn tough.

tredrea would be as outstanding a player whatever era you put him in.

 

[edgie]

Anyway didn't Tredders take Fev out in fisticuffs at a brownlow afterparty?

Warren wins.

Any criticism in the last 18 months? Does that include their poor handling of the Prison Bars saga?

Guy whose twin brother is after a plum job at the AFL defends the AFL against legitimate criticism.

Fillum at eleven.

Turned the game on and in 20 seconds saw Matthew Nicholls make a terrible umpiring decision leading to a shot on goal.

That and his new boss is the focus of much of the criticism.

Good point, and it's his new boss's old job that his twin brother coverts.

Brisbane look unbothered to me hitting back quite easily

In hindsight I think we really fluffed taking Williams overs Robertson in the draft. Very good signs he’ll become a very good player and a young centre mid which is exactly what we need

 

[edgie]

These umpires are losing it

Lucky it's a nothing game in front of 36 lost Queenslanders and lockdown dodgers.

Let's wait til Williams has a few AFL pre seasons to see if he can get to AFL standard fitness first. He could be the explosive mid we neeed.

I'm not sure that Robertson is the kind of mid we need more of

He was taken the pick before Williams.
