Lots of earlier speculation about Cameron-Jones being chased by GWS, Gold Coast and others.
Did a great job today in establishing his credentials as a tall forward. Still has a lot of physical growth left and improvement to follow.
His efforts were such that a team in need of a young ruck with hurt factor as a forward would understand that CJ will cost plenty.

Hugo with two of the arsiest goals of all time, go well.

That first had so much reverse swing it could have been at the Ashes at the Oval.
Nah, disagree. They were two superb kicks, and to think he was doubting himself. He knows how his kicks travel, he gets that R to L bend and calculated it beautifully. The 2nd one proved the 1st was no fluke. Buddy took about 5/6 years to master his opposite L to R swing.

It's like a top golfer who can move the ball either way through the air. I'd be instructing Hugo, 'Son, every time you're reached the 50, you go for goal from that side, unless one of our guys is running into an open goal on his lonesome.'

I just love players who can do that.

Cant just have an easy win can we
You need to remember that our opponents today were good enough to inflict the first defeat of the season last week on an undefeated side who are top of the ladder.
I'd love an easy win too ... but you don't get to play the Saints every week!

One thing I would like to see is a good 4 quarter game from Richmond. Even when we smacked StKilda it was an even first quarter. Again today we had to come from behind to win.

At the moment you almost dread Richmond leading at quarter time as we tend to get smacked badly when we do that against good teams.

I want to see us win the first quarter and then grind the opposition into the dust for the next 3.

I can deal with the slow start to the game. I didn’t like the way we started the 4th quarter.
was expecting us to add a couple of extra goals to the winning margin.

Yeah their early pressure rattled us and disrupted our transition totally. Crows will take a bit from the game, but so will we.

Depends on whether the player goes purely for top dollar or not. CCJ sounded very positive about his time at Tigers so far. Hopefully that translates to him wanting to stay and not focus predominantly on the money.

Didn't seem like you were handling the slow start too well to me if these comments are anything to go by...lol

'Dare I say, looks like the good times are over. Great while it lasted.'

the Crows have showed this year they have the ability to get pumped and play above themselves and take big scalps
and they came out pumped, if they maintain that for two full quarters they will break plenty of teams

with 6 team changes this week we weren't at our best , but we did work into the game nicely
I thought all are young guys were shaky in the first qtr but all have come good as the game progressed

and our much critisied Chol , he came on when Nank came off and went down to the rooms , yikes , Chol immediately tackled with real intent and leapt into ruck contests and then backed up at ground level , credit to him, and then he chucks in a few dance moves late in the game just to get up peoples noses , loved it

with Lynch out our tilt at a premiership needs Chol & CCJ to play like they did and hopefully both are better for the run in top grade

And Chol saved Jack in the last qtr - when Jack marked running back into the pack, any big opposition backman could of ended Jacks season, luckily Chol realised what was happening at the last minute and protected Jack.

My first thought when Jack didn't move after landing was that Chol's got him again (after causing him to miss two games in 2017 through a training mishap).

Positive take on the situation.
Reality though was that Chol had no idea what was going on as evidenced by the bewildered look on his face when he realised Jack had actually taken the mark.
At least he didn’t crack it like CCJ did when Marlion stole the ball from him in the VFL against Essendon back in 2017.

Wasn’t talking about monetary compensation TL but rather draft pick compensation to RFC.
We have 6 rucks on our list plus Balta and tall forwards Lynch and Jack. There is no indication that any want to go but assuming Jack plays on it’s a fair bet that at least one from this group won’t be there next year.
If that is CJ his trade value just went up.

Ok, pretty confident it won't be CJ. He can clunk marks and can kick straight. 200cm players of this calibre are hard to come by. Coming into his prime it makes no sense to let him go. Maybe in 2 years as a 24yo if he doesn't come on. I agree unlikely all those rucks are on our list next year.

Funny that. Markov is still very fast; a line-breaker. In GCS's best again last night ... and BEllis too.

Bachar has been an absolute champion but the end is always in sight when you reach that age, along with injury toll.
.probably the greatest lack of foresight by the club i can remember....should have rewarded oleg to hang in till this year
.our size inequality demands a pace advantage & we're losing it.
.8cm height advantage would also have addressed bachar's now total aerial uncompetitiveness.
