Caesar thanks lots for the reports :cool:, just a quick question how are the guys who are training with us going/ looking etc ?
It has been pretty hard to pick the newbies out and to be honest I haven't really been looking as my concentration has been elsewhere, sorry I can't give you an update.

Obviously I'm keen to hear how every player is tracking, but I'm particularly interested in how the big blokes are going.

Guys like CCJ, Mabs, Garthy, Miller, Biggy, Ryan and Colina (when he gets there). We need a couple of these fellas seriously pushing for selection this year.

Any sign of Soldo around the place?

Soldo should be back late in the season if all things go well.
Hawkins the dog "tunneled" him and the media swept it under the carpet.
That's twice that we have slapped geelong and we have been a man down.

If that was a Dusty or Cotchin, people would still be talking about the dog act. But because it was a fringe player, it never gets discussed. The guy was probably robbed of a premiership medal.

Going to be hard getting Colina back into the country.
They don’t have a plane big enough.
COVID running wild doesn’t help.

Hawkins not only robbed Soldo of a premiership medal, but was culpably complacent during the horrific heist of Gary Ablett’s premiership cup, in prime time, by an ill-disciplined gang of nazis from right under the nation’s long, watchful nose.

Women and children everywhere were weeping in solidarity with Danger, easily recognised with all cameras centred on him, as he led poor Gary off the field.

Hawkins gazed on blankly in the background.

Felt bad for Harry Taylor who knew it was his last game but stayed out of the limelight. Quality bloke.

I hate defending Hawkins, perhaps he was thinking, look at look at me, look at me Diverfield trying to take centre stage again.

Yeah Harry was all class. There isn’t anything unlikeable about him, so I’m unable to childishly mock him. Harry gets a pass.

Gave the Tiges boys the thumbs up and wink in forming a guard of honour for Ablett. Miles better bloke than Dangerfield and Hawkins.

Just imagine if it was Lynch? Yet in the GF we had Selwood pushing Bakers head into the ground & the commentary were praising how tough Selwood was....

Couldn't stand the potatoe head.
Carried on like a fwit when they would beat hawthorn (pity hawthorn bent Geelong over, when it counted)
And that game in 2017 he thought he was Wayne Carey. Again on Rance

What did McVanney say?
He turned it into a joke.
Where was the free kick down the ground?
Where was the report?
How times has Selwood been cleared of these types of incidents? 20??

I can't stand Guard of honours.
When was the last time a Richmond player got one? Knights?
I never got over when Frawley gave one to Burke or the day we gave one to Silivagni.
Lets see if Riewoldt or Cotchin get one this year.
If they don't, i will email the club.
To put it in there constitution there will be no Guard of honour for NO player from any other club ever again.
Ablett left Geelong after been offered 900k over 6 year's in 2010.
He left because of money and dumb shiitt Geelong supporters still applauded him.
I would've booed him off
