@RFC_Centre Agreed I really hope it's hopper dropped for Taranto He doesn't deserve a spot in the team, he's not the future, he's not the present and he's not even the past

@Nikolastico10 Prestia has just played his best 2 games of the year & we’ve got an 8-day break leading into the Eagles. I highly doubt we manage him.

R8 | My Team FB - Brown Miller Trainor HB - Grlj Vlastuin Short C - Retschko Dion Sonsie HF - Cumming Ross Seth FF - Lynch Lefau Faull R - Balta Lalor Tim IC - Kmac Trezise Broad Green Burton E: Hopper OHB Gray In Taranto Trainor Short Sonsie Out HRS Ryan Gray Hopper #GoTiges

@BrentyMann I think we did a great job overall off a 5 day break This week is our best chance for a win playing west coast after an 100 point loss We have an extra 2 days break as well

Glimpses of the future were on show on Friday night with the Sams strutting their stuff. The move of Balta into the ruck was fruitful and Dion did what he's done for 15 years. Send through your thoughts. #TalkingTigers

@vcg47 @LaceyJoshua @hasumpstuffedup Instead of making new rules they should be looking at which rules are negatively impacting the game in its current state and removing some I think other things can be used to improve the game also such as boundary/goal line technology 2/2

@vcg47 @LaceyJoshua @hasumpstuffedup I actually like the way the rule was written in that old snippet you found Seems much more straightforward I don't think there's ever going to be a solution other than simplifying the rules 1/2

Can anyone at all explain how the FUCK this is play on? #aflgiantsroos

@vcg47 @LaceyJoshua @hasumpstuffedup Problem is the errors are increasing The has the ump stuffed up account said it went from 50/50 to 15/85 People are going to start getting annoyed and stop watching

@Nikolastico10 @LaceyJoshua @hasumpstuffedup There isn’t a problem to solve apart from the odd error. I can live with that if it means avoiding an even more sanitised, black and white product.

@vcg47 @LaceyJoshua @hasumpstuffedup So what's the solution? Right now it's up to the umps discretion which I think is the biggest issue Maybe it has to be a time based rule

@Nikolastico10 @LaceyJoshua @hasumpstuffedup Did I not just say why?

@vcg47 @LaceyJoshua @hasumpstuffedup Why does a player need prior opportunity?

@Nikolastico10 @LaceyJoshua @hasumpstuffedup This was still play on in the ~40 years before prior opportunity existed. If you make this holding the ball, players will avoid taking possession, just like they did in an era of less frantic tackling. This from the 1964 laws:

@vcg47 @LaceyJoshua @hasumpstuffedup Player dropped the ball and didn't dispose of it correctly Not prior rule makes no sense in the context of the game

@Nikolastico10 @LaceyJoshua @hasumpstuffedup Why should it be a free kick? There’s a reason this has been play on for nearly 80 years.

@Psibirskiy @LaceyJoshua @hasumpstuffedup Why so aggressive?

@Nikolastico10 @LaceyJoshua @hasumpstuffedup learn to read moron. 18.6.3 he dropped the ball which is not an attempt at disposing it as he was about to kick so it was before he was going to even kick it Not to mention he had prior as he took 2 steps. This is paid 100 times a weekend

@LaceyJoshua @hasumpstuffedup The rules are the problem. Don't come after me when you asked for an explanation. There's no doubt it should be a free kick based on common sense but the rules are written wrong and stipulate it's not a free kick. Read the rules and then tell me I'm an idiot again.

@Nikolastico10 @hasumpstuffedup You’re a fucking idiot

@PuntRoadRoar @RegVicTiger Agreed it's not about this year We're trying to set up for 2028 and beyond I think it'll take another year of being shit before we improve

@Nikolastico10 @RegVicTiger I don’t think playing those 2 boys will change the results but it’s definitely good for development and the future.

Our team selections all year has been border line insane. It’s no different this week. Just absurd. This coaching group is a mess #gotiges

@RegVicTiger @PuntRoadRoar Feels like we want to finish bottom for pick 1 especially in the midseason draft to get Toner so we're trying to be worse than Essendon

@PuntRoadRoar @Nikolastico10 Broad and Vlaus looked cooked. Trainor should have never left the senior team. He’s a moron is our coach.

@PuntRoadRoar @RegVicTiger Well turns out balta was ruck! Gray out for Gibcus next week hopefully and I actually thought lefau played well last night Faull could be the one to drop out

@Nikolastico10 @RegVicTiger Strange call, Ryan/Gray will get slaughtered against Gawn and Heath. I would’ve dropped Lefau and Gray, played Gibcus down back and Balta as second ruck/fwd.

@AFLSC360 @AFL Richmond will shock everyone and win

Melbourne vs Richmond tonight… and it could get ugly against an undermanned Tigers 👀🔥 Max Gawn with no Nank… 150+ on the cards? 💪 Kysaiah Pickett vs Tigers… popular trade-in this week could do some damage ⚡️ Drop your predictions ⬇️ #aflsc360 @AFL

@PuntRoadRoar @RegVicTiger Not sure why Gray is holding his spot as second ruck over OHB

@RegVicTiger If I see Gray ruck against Gawn and Heath I’ll be sick. Has to be Balta, should’ve been OHB.

@Richmond_TT If we get him it'll speed up our rebuild by 1-2 years His delivery into the forward 50 will improve our young forwards tenfold and will improve Lalor Smillie cumming hotton

The idea of Butters at Tigerland is grand, wonderful player and exactly what we need. But as a RFA we’d both have to pay him a boat load and likely trade for him (Port have already said they will match any bid). Wouldn’t get my hopes too high. afl.com.au/news/1492774

@lafontjacob @tim_michell @NicNegrepontis They won by 4 points and yes if 1 of our points was a goal we would've won We had more scoring shots than them Get your facts right

@tim_michell @NicNegrepontis Its jon ralph “if pies 3 oldest players werent on the list they’d be younger” areas. Richmond kicked 17 points, blues kicked 15. What if blues kicked straight?

Carlton has led for 383 out of 492 minutes this season and would be 0-4 if Tom Lynch kicked straight

@ZoomThe86099 @Richmond_FC @nibhealth We will lose by 80 probably

@Nikolastico10 @Richmond_FC @nibhealth What’s your goal for the game margin wise losing under 70?
