Good stuff from Mick on FC. Caro and Hutchy noticeably left all the heavy lifting to Gary and Grant. And after Caro has been sniping at him all year, didn't have the guts to ask the question re his attitude to the media.

I agree with G Thomas in principle, that if a player comes to niggle a bloke for giving away a 50, he shouldn't be rewarded for drawing a response with a further 50m, unless of course the reply is a coathanger etc.

That he's been chosen to shield Wayne Campbell. That not even Rawlings own Mum would expect him at the moment to keep the job next year. But that he seems a decent coach from the little they've seen of him, and he has opportunity to make a rep for himself, and should Richmond somehow win more than they lose in the 2nd half of the year, he could potentially pull a Paul Roos.

Opinions on Buckley as possible North coach next year? Certainly seems like a good fit for North, have a young list but need a lot of development through the middle, would raise our off the field profile and probably add a few members as well. Apparently Buckley wants to stay in Melbourne, he could go to Richmond but the expectations there would be astronomical, at North he could settle in without much pressure for a season or two.

Not sure he'd want to - in terms of off field stability and resources. Plus Brayshaw has essentially said North can't afford to pay top dollar, and Bucks probably sets a pretty high price on himself.

Kane Johnson just retired. Sad to see his career end in such a **** way, but his knees just weren't letting him get back on the park.

He was never the player at Richmond that he was at Adelaide (our guernsey seems to instinctively make people craper than they are if they put it on after coming from another club (like Johnson) or make them injury prone/unlucky (Cousins, Nathan Brown)).

However as one career ends, another's begins...

Split round this week, glad Ryder got off, that was pretty fair play what he did, Essendon would of been in major trouble with no ruckman. Should smash the Dees but you never know, they will be hurting after the QB'day match.

Not sure if the Dees are even playing to win. They definitely want to get the top 2 picks by winning less than 5 games. Essendon should bounce back with a win.
