he got smashed last night IMO.

Thought the same thing. Was surprised to see Bellchambers move him around so easily.

Was good around the ground but didn't see it as one of his stellar efforts.

Big Ivvy hammered Bellringer around the ground. Surprised we did nothing about it but Essendrugs had a third man up in the ruck around the ground so often it was ridiculous. Reckon Heppel must have had near a dozen hit outs himself.

He did do something about it once. Jab was third man up and Ivvy gave him an absolute belter in the bread basket. Jab left on the ground searching for air.

Loved that Jab to Jab.
and loved the clearing up, shows respect for the Club and those blokes who I assume are volunteers - "i'm in it with you"

Surely would have said "Man up! You are used to getting jabs in the stomach!"

And yeah I love the implications behind the vision of the big bloke picking up rubbish in the changerooms. Small things matter.
 
Small things do matter. The All Blacks have a mantra of "Sweep the shed clean" even the biggest names are expected to tidy up after themselves. The belief bring that being good people and attention to detail gives results. There results speak for themselves

'

Got 7 clearances to lead all comers at Richmond, 15 possies at 80%, most contested.

Not stellar in the ruck Saturday but very valuable when you get your own clearances.

The ruck provides a good example. Tom Bellchambers is having a very ordinary second season in a row, smashed again on Saturday night, this time by Richmond's Ivan Maric, who did far more around the ground and provided far more meaningful service at critical centre bounces.

This quote from Rohan Connolly contrasted with the words of PRE's chief analyst gave me a good laugh.

I am both flattered and chuffed, Antman ;D

Apologies, but this doesn't change my opinion on Ivan's game.

Apart from when he roved his own ruckwork he did not provide us with first use as much as Bellchambers did for the Dons.

Good man, stick to your guns!

Must have hurt Connolly deeply to take the ugly stick to his beloved druggies, pretty accurate *smile* slap though.

He couldn't very well write something nice about Richmond, could he!

What he couldn't say, but is implied, is that those who have been 'loyal' during EFC's 'difficulties' will not be dropped.
 
What a warrior. Bashed and crashed away all night. And how good was that bump of the ball to Cotch in the last in front of goal? Positively Shanklike.
