I mean, we’re already over there… it’d be negligent to not test the water, wouldn’t it? Let’s get to the nuts and Boltons of it, contracts are transferable! Time to Restump Podcast the upcoming Tigger tussle! 

Let’s not call a spade a pointy diggy thing… space in the Tigers’ recovery centre is tighter than the housing market! Tom Lynch, Tim Taranto, Jacob Hopper, Dion Prestia, Noah Balta, Jack Graham and Jack Ross are all jostling for rehab real estate, so it is safe to say anyone who plays Richmond at the moment is getting them at the right time.

However, we shouldn’t poke the Tiger with a short stick. As wounded and depleted as they may be, they found a way to devour the Swans in round four without a Jacob Hopper, a Dustin Martin, a Dion Prestia and a Dylan Grimes.

But season 2024 we’re taking down animals like we’re on a game hunting tour. Yes, the eagles escaped our clutches this time around, but we’ve feasted on Crows, Lions, Kangaroos and Dogs. It’s our AFL animal slaughter safari strategy and the Tigers have entered the kill zone.

We’ve made just the one change with the very unlucky Paddy Voss going out and being replaced by Jye Amiss. Paddy didn’t put a foot wrong but he has suffered the consequential desire for team balance.

Richmond have lost Jacob Hopper as mentioned, and they’ve suffered a further hit with Jack Graham succumbing to injury. There are almost 1,000 games of experience from numerous players in the Tiger’s best 23 that they’re missing. 

We inexplicably dropped a game against the Eagles that we couldn’t afford and we need to make that back at the Tiger’s expense. They may have some on-field holes to fill but they’ll run out with 11 players possessing a combined 19 premierships. So, it is safe to suggest they have enough quality and experience out there to potentially cause us some concerns. 

The Mi Casa Property Boutique metres gained competition has jackpotted. There is a $100 voucher from 2Bros up for grabs and if you opt to chance it in our Bailey Banfield special it could be upped to $200. Get involved on the social media posts. 

We’ve played at the MCG just 6 times in the last 3 years for 2 wins and 4 losses. Sunday is the first of just two home and away games at the venue the AFL generously blessed us with so we need to start a winning trend there.

Does Jojo need to apologise? Two weeks ago, he said exactly what Sammy Draper has ridiculously been hauled over the coals for. The question will be asked of him. 

If you’ve had enough of this nonsense here then don’t tune into the pod because there are probably shedloads more of it in there. But as we always say at the Restump, lack of ability isn’t an excuse to not attempt to put out better quality nonsense.
