Hope they peck your tongue out for saying that.
You can’t half love the Tigers

I've followed richmond all my life. i've followed Willi all my life. up until recent years, they played in different leagues. one is playing as a reserves team. one is playing as a senior team. one is a juggernaut with 100,000 members. one is batting club with 155 years of history that almost folded 20 odd years ago. its actually quite an easy decision for me.

you're accusing me of half loving the tigers, but do you expect me to turn my back on the seagulls? i think thats an unfair accusation/expectation tbh.

Surely you didn't barrack for Willy between the years 2001 and 2007 when they were in a affiliation with Collingwood. Please say no.

Any word on Jake Aarts' tribunal hearing? I thought the emergency umpire reported him but I can't find anything on the VFL site.

Really looking forward to this.

Last game I saw at Princess Park was an U18 champs game featuring Richard Tambling.

Is it too late to alter Jake's name to 'Toby Greene'?

My Dad was born in and grew up in Newport, he followed Williamstown (back then their nickname was the Town) before he’d ever been to a VFL match and became a Tiger. When Collingwood affiliated with Williamstown he stopped barracking for them, there were just some bridges he couldn’t cross.

Your dad's a man after my own heart, I bet he had no problems crossing Bridge Rd. ;)

Straight to the tribunal which is held tonight.

I would expect 4 or more weeks

Seemed pretty identical to Hawkins hit on Schofield in intent, head, impact and outcome?

Not saying Jake should have only got a week.

But Hawkins should have got 4

edit, just read the Ports bloke's Jaw was like it was on the shelf of Ikea.

maybe 4 for Jake, 3 for Tom :cool:

A man can only serve one master.
I can’t fathom that you want Richmond to lose. I understand it’s tough and your loyalty admirable but sounds like you love Seagulls more than Tigers? Otherwise you’d be supporting Tigers surely?

Rather than pull those players out of the VFL decider, Richmond football boss Neil Balme said yesterday the Tigers would likely manage their game time. HS

I am glad sanity has prevailed and they will let the potential candidates win their place in the GF

Normally I do not say bad things about our players but I must say that IMHO Chol should be delisted. Has no skill.
