What a horror draw they have in the first half of the season, the Tiges

Gets no easier in the next two weeks with face-offs against Bombers and Hawks

the amount of hype over him in the pre-season was a bit strange. i mean, he's a great mark, but so is Liam Jones. Still won't criticise him too much. He's playing with injury right now, and the alternative is Jesse White...

White couldn't be worse than Reid is ATM. He's beyond awful. Got hands like feet.

AFL commentators are among the worst in any sport in terms of over hyping everything. Just heard the final siren as Richmond deservedly beat Sydney "The sleeping giant awakes". They've won two on he bounce. Then described as "one of the matches of the year". Do they watch the game?

Just hilarious. That result needed no hyping at all. They played great.

I don't understand why Sydney are playing their future star, a guy who they gave a 5 year contract to, when he's not 100% fit. Surely you have to rest him.

You don't ruin his confidence, and you don't risk injuring a guy you've signed up for a lot of cash.

It's weird. I dunno when Mumford's back but if he's fit I'd be tempted to throw him up front and rest Reid. As I said before, even White would be better ATM.

Have a look at the Eagles injury list:

Missing from this game (won't include Lecras since he's gone for the season)

Priddis subbed off due to concussion early in the game
Josh Kennedy
Nicoski
Embley
Naitanui
Adam Selwood

That is a fair chunk.

Don't get me wrong, the Bombers have been amazing tonight (and had a bad run with injuries too) but this loss does not affect the WC Premiership chances at all imo.
