I don't think Richmond are underrated really, think most people now rate them as a borderline finals team. Which is what they. If anything they are being overrated - all this Tigers are coming stuff for a team battling to make the finals. They aren't premiership contenders yet...

They will be seriously scary in the future though, possibly starting from next year. Deledio, Martin and Cotchin will be a seriously good midfield, I think all will be among the elite of the AFL. They seem to be starting to piece together a solid defence to (which seemed to be their main issue the past few season), and with Riewoldt up and firing again, the forward line looks good.

The problem Richmond has, is their real window for challenging for a premiership (probably 2014 onwards) may well coincide with Gold Coast and GWS coming good. And with all their concessions, they are going to be pretty hard to stop...

Gold Coast aren't coming good any time soon... they screwed up their recruiting, big time. They don't really look any better than they did a year ago. GWS, on the other hand... they will be a force in a couple of years, no question there.

just like to say that i think after richmond has played great last few rounds and fremantle have played crap and even though its in melbourne i actually think Fremantle will win. Just like i think melbourne will beat collingwood (they always seem to have good games no matter how bad melbourne is doing)

Yeah I agree, good work by Thomas. Publicly you can't say shit like that anymore. Think wilkinson was the one Sherman sledged last year when he was suspended for 4 weeks so he has had a bad run!

Is KB drunk!?

The @AFL Twitter page exploded with comments from perplexed fans after Bartlett suggested the current interchange system be scrapped and replaced with eight soccer-style substitutes.


"I'm confident the game would be better without interchange, pick your best 18 and have six to eight players on the bench to cover injury and flexibility for the coach, but once you've come off, you can't come back on," Bartlett told his SEN listeners.


"I think we'd see better kicking, I think we'd see more marking, I think we'd see more contest, I think it'd be a better game.

Whoever said Cotchin is not elite, either doesn't watch enough football, or has a very high definition of elite.

Off the top of my head, the best midfielders currently in rough order, not counting guys like Fyfe who are out for a long time.

Pendlebury
Ablett
Selwood
Cotchin
Boyd
Stanton
Thompson
Kennedy
Kerr
Watson
Hayes

I left Judd out on purpose. Adelaide could get another in there, and apologies to Swan who hasn't played much lately.

This week I give Port a big sniff. Their attack on the ball will worry the Hawks who like it easy and in space. Port need a couple of forwards to fire and Buddy to have a quiet night and they're away.

I'm a Geelong supporter for the record.
