Dougal Howard did the same thing to Matt Parker the week prior but it seems that Robbo didn't notice it then. But when the Tigers take advantage of it a week later he's quick to criticise it? What an oaf.

Serious, didnt someone do the same to us in one of our games this season ? What a flog.
Yep exactly the same thing happened to Parker and 50 against. Nohting said.

Port Adel tried to use it as a deliberate tactic all night. Nothing said.

Robbo is a fat campaigner that needs to be sacked.

This is absolutely perfect predictable AFL handbook stuff

Create a ridiculous rule that stuffs up the game, and then create another stupid rule to reinforce the first rule.

Hocking should be forced to backpay all his wages during his tenure

Absolute blight on the game.

Every team is doing the handball / pretend to play on jig now when they have the ball. EVERY TEAM.

Prestia‘s version was just so perfect and Naughtons response perfecto - I think everyone was in shock that the tigers actually received a 50, normally we don’t - that’s why Robbo highlighted it.

Yeah, where was last week's one we lost against the Aints. Let's hope Jack reminds the moron tomorrow night.

Whoa! 32%
Would BHP or Qantas keep the CEO if they had those numbers coming out of Covid??
Supporters hate what Gilligan and Shocking have done to our game. They treat it like their little plaything to do as they please including introducing *smile* stupid rule after stupid rule. They are only custodians of our game and they have completed failed in that duty.

The sooner Gilligan and his bunch of sycophant mates are boned from the joint and Benny goes in the better.

Bloobbo in the HUN this morning taking aim at Prestia & not the bung rule itself is peak idiocy.
What an absolute fkstick.
What was he watching in round 1.
He hates with a passion and he fears like many that we can do damaged.
So anything negative will ne highlighted.
We as richmond supporter's have all said the Rule I'd a disgrace and the numbers turning up prove the game is on the nose.
Just wait for Collingwood and Carlton to full back in there holes and then let's see the numbers
You could play finals with Footscary Melbourne and Brisbane at the Junction Oval.

My cousin a Essendon supporter said he called the club after they were offering 8 extra games for $25.
He asked about tickets for Anzac day they said he would need to book through ticket tec and he said he would just watch it on TV.
People want to turn up pay there money and watch a game.
Alot of people decide on the day if they can be bothered going

lol - so the rule was introduced to negate Richmond, and now after every other team takes advantage of it , it's a Richmond player that's identified as rorting the stupid rule.

Maybe we should exploit the rule as often as we can, show them how stupid it is, make it benefit us, next day, boom rule will be gone and everyone can move on with their lives.

Nah they'll just introduce another rule to counter it. That's how they roll at AFL House.

Yep, player with the ball has to nominate to the Umpire if he's going to kick, hand pass or try to play on

After seeing Zac Tuohy kneeling on the mark, I saw Hind from Essendon wobbling his knees and Harris Andrews being you know.... Harris Andrews, it has me thinking, can you scrawl a big *smile* on ya guts and lift your jumper up as a bloke comes into kick for goal by way of distraction?
Like, Jake Stringer has that paddle pop lion tatt which surely would put anyone off!

it was farcical watching dogs players run away from the mark on Saturday night every chance they got. end result was the player with the ball standing still with no player within 10-20mtrsm, noone actually knowing where the mark should be, and the player with the ball generally waiting for play on to be called, then waiting for someone to come at them before kicking it down the line. quality stuff.

On the night we welcomed back Joel to walk through the ball. Typical media.
