Maybe it should have been the Quinoa round Redders
And so it shall be Teets.

Dogs. Big pressure. Picked them top 4 this year. Hmmmm. Not sure if somethings up at the kennel. 0-3 will have the hounds howling.

Blandbane. Real deal ? Still flakey away from home for mine. They need to win games like this to counter that thought.

Bit on the line tonight. As long as we’re not playing in them, don’t mind Thursday night games.

Pooncebourne v Cygnets might be a good tell on the season for these two.

My boy JVR debuting for the Dees. And will take some back up ruck duties. Interesting watch.

Not sure about the ruck impact but good luck to him, stats were really good in the VFL last week.
 
Good to see your namesake back with the club last week. Looks perfect size now to play defence. :))
Missing the trademark locks, fashion tips been passed onto Sinclair & Bailey Smith however. Underrated player was Bully, probably our best CHB from 85-2000. I only count Wigney as having a similar impact but his tenure was short lived.

Totally agree. Had a funny running style but always played hard.

Wigney was fantastic, but such a short period until injury ruined his career, and yes Bulluss was underrated- cos we were mostly rubbish, and he looked so uncoordinated.

If he can pinch hit and take some centre square work it significantly increases his value, also suggests that his leap is better than has been critiqued on here.

Commentators frequently used the word 'ungainly' but he was a very competent intercept player & could handle the likes of Carey & co, it took Richmond nearly a decade to sort out the defence, plenty of trial and error. Scott Turner & Paul Bulluss not your glamourous spine but at least they extracted every ounce of talent they had at their disposal.

Also the kicking depth which concerns me, I think he really struggles with anything outside the arc. In any case, best of luck to the lad, will watch with keen interest.

Hate both sides. Would probably prefer dogs to win as I think they are a lesser finals threat.

We have to play the Dogs next week.

Therefore, I want Blandbane to crush them, and keep them down, and not give them an inch of momentum before they play us.
