    Touk Miller has got to be in the top 5 midfielders in the league. It's not just that he wins the ball, but his vision at picking out open players in a split second is as good as anyone going around. He's been a good player for a while, but has busted out this year as a 25 yo. Something to think about with our own developing players. I might take a bit of time to see the best of them.

    ....and so it was.

    I actually forgot it was on and only caught the last ten minutes or so but it was a satisfying ten minutes. For once GC's woeful accuracy didn't matter.....but it's something they should get right. They'd win a lot more games.

    Do we call Richmond's season over? It would take a brave man to call it but there is no doubt they are making it very difficult for themselves.

    He’s awesome. Reminds me of Nathan Jones during Melbourne’s dark period, the one consistently good player. Apparently when Tom Lynch announced he was leaving the club to a meeting of the players, Miller got up a poured a bucket of poo on his head.

    I think our priorities are elsewhere, but if we traded for him, I’d applaud the club like nothing else.

    He's also a tireless runner.
    And I thought the tracker stats were significant tonight. For total distance run, the Suns were 295.7km, while the Tigers managed 287.1km. Which is quite a difference. Especially when you consider that Richmond's game plan is largely based on manic running and getting more numbers to contests.

    Well, I was pleased that a Lynch bag didn't drag Richmond over the line. But I would prefer it if Miller was involved in leading the Suns to their first finals campaign.

    And I have no doubt that Errol will be our version of Touk, in a year or two. Once we start playing him in his natural position; which is, 'you just run wherever you want, Errol'.

    Well called it was always a possibility given Richmonds recent form FWIW I tipped the Suns by 7 so pretty happy with the result.
    The tips for the rest of the year not so good😀

    Part of me feels very confident about Sunday given it’s West Coast at Kardinia Park.

    But WCE are very hard to get a read on this year. And have got a load of players back.

    Hopefully Gold Coasts win over the Tigers tonight makes West Coasts comeback less impressive.

    Yes, Ed was in fine form. He is such a booster for the game.
