Not sure what the law says about damaging labels being bestowed on the basis of an assumption, but I’m sure it’s not good for Tony or the ABC.

'How racist do you have to be?': ABC presenter stunned by de Kock decision as cricket world divided

Peter Pan or Shadow King?

The best two clubs of the AFL era (and no, neither is Hawthorn)

Grimes hasn’t led Richmond in a match for premiership points.

Graham still a bit young and finding his way as a player. Vlastuin for me.

The obvious choice for Richmond's next captain - and no, it isn't Dusty

The AFL has angered the footy gods, the Richmond footy gods. Now reap the whirlwind.

AFL CEO speaks about the challenges and logistics of Round 11

If you go to the footy in Melbourne this weekend, you’re asking for it.

Vic government delays call on crowd sizes after confirmed case at AFL clash

Correct. Cotchin is a Brownlow-winning three-time premiership leader while Selwood has the worst finals record of any captain in history.

Richmondy: The unfortunate term for spectacular and continued failure

It’s not a game where every child wins a prize. The commo’s haven’t taken over yet.

The game has moved away from Richmond

Don’t like the result? Throw the cards up in the air by inventing rules that change the fabric of the game.
If crowds remain down then the AFL will have only itself to blame.

The game has moved away from Richmond

If we win, we will be 2020 premiers. All else is fluff. “Dynasty” is a Kiss album.

Grand final forecast: Richmond versus Geelong

Staggering that you view Richmond as an unskilled team, but in that light, it’s understandable that their success dismays you. You sound a lot like Jai Bednall in his 2017 GF review – salty as hell and proven badly wrong, repeatedly.

Grand final forecast: Richmond versus Geelong

Maybe have another look, Ladhams was tackled around the shoulder and let the ball go (or it was jarred loose). Typical play-on situation. Unnecessary at that stage of a close final and kept Port alive. Then there was Hartlett getting a free for being collected by his teammate and feigning head-high contact where there was none (staging, anyone?). And Ebert made front-on contact while effecting his courageous spoil. The final count was 24-19 Port’s way but people will see what they want to see.

Lambert's last-quarter strikes put Tigers into the decider

Richmond hasn’t lost twice to an opponent in one season since 2016. 16 teams did it last year.

Lambert's last-quarter strikes put Tigers into the decider

At least put your name to the article. There were six “deliberate” frees for the night, with that against Hartlett one of the more obvious. I would say a lot less controversial than the free to Ladhams right in front which earned no adjectives from you. But well done on identifying Nankervis as a major influence, which most of the mainstream press missed.

Lambert's last-quarter strikes put Tigers into the decider

When Harry finished at Collingwood, he praised Buckley saying he hoped he would continue to be part of Harry’s life. Unless Harry can cite something Buckley or Collingwood have done to him since late 2014, he has forfeited any cause for grievance.
Unfortunately his admission about drug use opens him up to all sorts of speculation about why his mind is all over the place. I reckon he needs help alright, and giving him the attention he seeks isn’t it.

Why I stand with Heritier Lumumba

Garbage, Hardwick’s rarely even employed so much as a tagger. Richmond is stoppage-averse and has been #1 for BOTH attack and defence over more than three years.

AFL coaches should learn the rules before complaining about them

In my experience the people that make the most noise often contribute least to a solution.

Tigers and Pies to kneel for Black Lives Matter movement

Where is the evidence of racism in the Floyd case? One of the coppers was Chinese/Korean and another Vietnamese. I’m sure if Chauvin had been posting on white supremacist sites, it would be in the public domain by now.

Tigers and Pies to kneel for Black Lives Matter movement

There’s a word for people like that. Liar.

Malthouse slams Buckley over Lumumba

There’s a suggestion that Collingwood had promised him media opportunities after he finished playing which (surprisingly after burning the president!) didn’t eventuate. Something certainly seems to have happened to make him unhappy after he left Collingwood.

Malthouse slams Buckley over Lumumba

“Bucks and I have known each other for 10 years. Even when he was not at the club, he was a huge resource for me, and I am sure he will continue to be. I look forward to still having him in my life. There is no animosity at all.” – Harry 2014. Unless something has happened since, Harry needs to STFU.

Heritier Lumumba wants public admission from Magpies

Far be it for me to defend Collingwood or Nathan Buckley, but this was Harry in 2014 after leaving Collingwood: “Bucks and I have known each other for 10 years. Even when he was not at the club, he was a huge resource for me, and I am sure he will continue to be. I look forward to still having him in my life. There is no animosity at all.”
Unless something has occurred since, Harry needs to pull his head in. These non-specific smears aren’t fair.

Malthouse slams Buckley over Lumumba

Supporters knew Phil Egan as “Jacky”, but within the club he was lumbered with “Flagons”, which he hated. That was a long time ago, and it was pulled up by people within the club.

Former Magpie calls out "culture of racist jokes" at club

Very similar to a kickout by Jimmy Jess at Moorabbin in 1981, going towards the grandstand end. Bounced in the same area of the ground and continued bouncing to half forward just like this one, albeit with an old-fashioned gale helping it along.

Aussie Rules fullback launches arguably the longest torpedo ever from the goal square

Probably more interesting and pertinent to ask who is the better coach now.

The AFL's coach of the decade: Clarkson vs Hardwick

Very informative, well done.
