How is the draw going to work if the GC isn't playing the first round? Is the bye system changing?

24 rounds, i think.

B&F top five

I guess they'd need to have a team having a bye each week. Will there still be the split rounds? Is the season starting earlier or finishing later?

finishing later?

Grand Final is in October next year

wonder if burgers were on the menu at the B+F last night

don't think relton was in attendance. but i can tell you that the main course was chicken.

jackson and foley doing interviews at the B&F...

A chance for the bottom of the eight - the Carlton slot - next year?

I'd say negative.

You would think the top 6 or 7 should remain in there, I think you're in line behind North, Adelaide and perhaps Melbourne for that spot

meh, who knows.

ha

so jr8 nabbed AA, jack dyer medal for b&f & coleman medal. hmm what is his status now crackwhore? still just a star? i am pushing for superstar!!

and he's only 21

Consistency is the sign of a superstar, if he rips it up for the next couple of years he can wear the tag.

yeah, i wonder if he can keep it up, but when i thought he'd dropped off for the year he came out and kicked seven against the saints... anyway, a superstar year, no doubt.

anyway, a superstar year, no doubt.

agree, but needs to play at a high level for a couple more years to be called a superstar

posting here so i can come back to it next season.

that's a nice list, though. except for gehrig.

he did kick 90 goals that year.

Fair enough, i just wasn't that impressed with him. Only saw from the second half, and I guess i was paying more attention to the clearances. it's fine to win taps, but if the tap is not hitting a running midfielder or goes to opposition, the ruckman becomes much less effective.

yup and just like last year betts, yarran and garlett sliced us to ribbons. the blues rebound out of defence made us look like witches hats.

a shame necktatts missed the set shot in the last to get us back to 1 point. we were outclassed by a much better team.

They'll get better.

Richmond fans have been saying that for a while now. That and calling them the ''young Tigers''.

posting in the richmond thread while i have the chance to point out that we are ahead of both collingwood & geelong on the ladder. who'd have thunk it.

bit of a shame that cats lost! they will be fired up this week! we normally play ok down there!

yah thanks for that norf.

what a lovely scenario: the cattery with only 200 tix for richmond folk, the unfurling of the premiership flag and coming off the back of a bad loss.

can't wait.

Shane Tuck -30 possessions, 16 contested, 12 clearances, 11 tackles on the weekend.
I know we were just playing the Demons but I love this bloke. Not fashionable but just slides under the radar all the time raking up the stats. Could be different this week though but most of the time he is a star.

Been wearing my Tiges hoodie with pride all through Europe over the past month... So happy to get the win on the board. Kardina ticketing situation is a joke especially considering Etihad is free that day. Motherfuckers.

Well, fuck.

yep that was fucked. after pushing wet toast all the way we will lose to port.

on the bright side jackson got one week.

Second quarter - getting excited, 41 points up.

No goods no Sydney?

Goodes

The Tiger!

another painful one but goes to show how good our recruiting has been over the last few years: with morris, grigg, mullet maric all proving to be massive bargains.

great effort Tiges, definitely on the way up.

once they get rid of spuds like brad miller and get a decent forward they'll be good.

they could be top 4 with cloke!

An inform Ty Vickery would be fyne

Miller was playing well up until the last two rounds. Bad news about Grimey, out for 3-4 weeks.
