    We play to win......not too manipulate the draft. We are not Melbourne.....we have pride and a 'winning' culture.
    Move on.....
    Absolutely!! You've only got to look at how we played Thursday night and the celebration afterwards.

    Yes, it is odd thinking isn't it? ie let's not win now, so that we can maybe get a higher draft pick that might be able to help us
    win in three or four years. How about this idea instead.... we win now AND we win later.

    Good point, forgot that

    Oh no, they'll drop below us and grab pick 3!

    How's the angry gnome taking it? In his usual surly manner no doubt!

    Odd first quarter: Richmond leading the inside 50 count 17-4. The quarter time score, 13-13. Also odd is Oleg Markov wearing boots that are almost all black, and matched with black socks, they seem really strange. Times have changed. Pink, fluoro green, bright orange and shiny gold stripes, all now par for the course, but black; well, that's a bit weird.

    Richmond seem to be of the belief that he plays better when angry, so the niggle from him, is probably a deliberate tactic. Which I think might work in the short term, but will come unstuck in the long term, with escalating violence, increased suspensions and a tattered reputation.

    Richmond have really diminished in my estimation this year, for a number of reasons.
