    mmm.... that's a common party line from clubs when making excuses for their "on the edge" players. It's often accompanied with a statement
    about how player X is the nicest human being to have ever lived off the field. Soon we'll be hearing from the Richmond Football Club Virtue
    Signalling Dept about how he is working on a vaccine for Covid-19.

    A bit late but here is an article from Jude Bolton about the HTB rule: https://www.espn.com/afl/story/_/id/29506619/why-holding-ball-rule-spirit-game.
    All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)

    its been a horror year for their image this year. It was all probably hidden from view when they were in the melbourne bubble.

    This is a bit of an over the top & nasty response from Hardwick to David Schwartz criticism of Tom Lynch. Most of his response was ok in defending his player, but his last statement was uncalled for. Would never see John Longmire respond with such spite.

    Nasty streak as a player. Nasty whinging streak as a coach. Not helping his club

    Never been a fan of Hardwick. He keeps demonstrating what a nasty person he is. That comment was a low blow.
