I dont understand all the Doc "hate", when the whips are cracking he can be relied on. I am way more concerned with our small fwds led admirably by the headless chook Motlop.

150% !!!!

What amazes me is blokes negatively comment on a 'proven AFL performer' like Doc after 1 single game back in a cut throat interstate final after doing his 3rd ACL earlier in the same year and a meaningless scratch match but find positives for

Too many on here make a comment that upon reflection is off yet their ego refuse to allow them to concede it so they just keep doubling down and spin it anyway possible to justify.

If our 21st player has gone past Doc that's great, as it means we wont drop a game this year and will win the flag by 20 goals.

I don't understand "all the Doc hate" claims, because it seems that they are a myth! ;)

Yep
I'm one of his supporters and I'm not seeing any 'hate' on the other side.
It's more an assessment of how he's playing based on the final last year and the practice games.
That's valid.
I had doubts he'd ever make it back.
Those doubts have somewhat lessened.
For some they still remain....and that's valid.
But we really won't know until we see him under the pressure of a 'full-on" AFL game.

Need at least half a dozen games to assess Doc and some others imo. We have mixture of easy and harder games in our first half dozen and I'll be looking at who can get a kick and do their job in the tough games vs A grade opposition.
Richmond to me is a practice game and building for the real stuff so I won't be forming any opinions or writing players off based on that game and that includes Doc, Motlop, JSOS, Ollie and others with questions marks over their names either in new roles or like Doc and Jack trying to reestablish themselves in the team.
