    the discussion on footy is great guys, but the sledging of each other is not. Keep it to the discussion topics please.

    That argument between Maxwell, Shaw and O'brien shows why the Pies are the benchmark. The game was over but the passion and dedication to accept anything less than the best shows that the defence and no doubt the whole group has bought into the team philosophy that everyone is responsible, and everyone is held to account, captain or not.

    That is a mentality that younger and less experienced sides just don't comprehend. Saying that it is a mindset that just doesn't evolve automatically with experience but it is certainly a big factor and no doubt a cornerstone of most premiership sides.

    I think the big teams like the Pies, Bombers and Blues have an advantage playing in more blockbuster games on the big stage, which would no doubt fast track development of the kids under pressure situations.

    Absolute gun now yes - I remember he looked dead set lost for his first few years.

    Daisy Thomas - now he's something else

    I love how that fwit Dwayne Russell keeps harping on about Darling and how he is a PP and how unfair it is we got him.

    Take a look at all the clubs at the top of the ladder in the last couple of years, every single one of them has raped the PP selections, and these are first round selections not 2nd rounders like ours.

    Hawthorn had Ellis and Dowler (woops).
    Pies have Thomas and Pendles
    Saints have Voldt and Kosi
    Carlton have Murphy/Kennedy and also Krezuer/Masten (traded for Judd)
    Bulldogs had Cooney/Ray
    Freo used theirs to secure Polak and McPharlin via a trade with Hawks for some guy called Hodge.

    Funny how we never hear about these picks....

    Truth be told if we didnt get Darling with our PP we had a pick 2 picks after which no doubt would have secured him given the lack of interest.

    So when the Pies won the flag last year I don't remember hearing anything about Daisy Thomas being a PP.

    Would've been happy if the Dockers put any fight against the Saints :shock:

    Edited for accuracy ;)
    Too many passengers who shouldnt be getting a game. Not many left to pick from though..... :(

    Seems to be a lot of teams having peaks and troughs atm.
    Which I think in contradiction to Diva's assessment that the comp is quite even and a side only has to be off their game by 5% and they will get beat if the other team plays well

    Totally agree if your a little off your game and the opposition play well you will get beat doesn't matter who you are playing

    Yep, problem isn't that our players missing are the absolute cream (bar Barlow, rest are more 12-22 ranked most important), but a lot of the blokes replacing them just aren't good enough. Drags the others down as well.

    Does Jesse Crichton have a competitive bone in his body?

    Lack of depth will expose all teams as the season goes on.
    All hail the April premiers

    Don't think there is a side that has had a better run of injuries than Richmond this year.
