Let the frontrunners have there play season of importantness.

We'll load up for the real stuff next year and have one last crack at a third in the next 2 years if we cant do it this year.
The pretenders will fall away when they start playing the real contenders. Looking at our season we have been rather poor, the upside is enormous, we are nowhere near our best & sit 6th, 2pts off 2nd & we not even half way yet.

Regarding TV commentary, why do they have a ex Norf president and Richmond champion part of the commentary team for a Rich v North game.

They are terribly conflicted and cannot provide balanced, independent commentary, no matter their best endeavours.

I think most on here would say Richo goes too far in trying to be seen as unbiased.

As for the #LolNorf bloke, I thought he was ok, but that's probably because they were rubbish.

Dwayne Russell talking about Gary Ablett going back home due to his son being in hospital: "This is the first real time this season that a player has chosen to stay back home for family reasons - good on him."
Cannot make this up!

Richo does go overboard to make himself appear unbiased. He was at it again last night. It’s actually embarrassing. He should be excused from commentary duty involving the Tigers unless he can find a balance.

Its very awkward listening to him make special comments when you know all he is doing is trying not to be bias.
Hodgy ,(proud Richmond man), told to stand up and speak his mind.

Richo is fine, would listen to him any day of the week.

when he overcompensates it just adds to his charm.

Is it just me or does the media seem to blowtorch the team we about to play? Hawks copped it after their poor performance against Geelong after rd 2. North copped it last week and now GWS are getting the treatment. Lids has even had a go yesterday. If you believe in conspiracy theories you might believe that the media have a look at who we are playing and say let’s all attack them this week to fire them up!
