Round 20 2014 - Richmond vs Essendon.

[Tiger_man322]

Go back and watch Hawthorn Vs Sydney in round 18 if you're looking for a high quality match. This one was very ordinary and indicates how poor our expectations are with modern footy.

I was glad the Bombers lost, though.

Jeez. Not everyone can be the standard of the top two teams.

Dominated third quarter, messed around with the ball completely.
Dons gave you the game.

If you dominated the third quarter you would have won it by more then 1 point.
I'll refer you to my original post.

No shit, Bruce.

Haha ****ing lol at the look on Jobe's face

Essendon lost that game, Richmond didn't win it.
Pathetic by the dons.

Essendon lost the game due to Richmond being better.

Sook it up.

Every team can think of a thousand occasions where they have dominated a quarter and still lost. Heck, teams have dominated almost entire games against the cats and Hawks and still lost. Essendon didn't give anyone shit; they had momentum and didnt use it well, unlike Richmond who did.

Good to see all the Essendon fans in here unable to cope with their own teams inadequacy.

 

[Foxx]

Any chance essendon fans can lose a game with some grace and humility this year

Your in the wrong place if your looking for humility on BF pumpkin

It's not an unfair analysis, probably had the 4 best passages of ball movement for the game in that quarter, only one goal IIRC. Fair play to the Tigers though, took their chances and got the win. Congrats.

And Essendon despite some fans thinking otherwise, are a long long way off Hawthorn and Geelong.

Essendon went missing in the last quarter when game was up for grabs. Weak effort

 

[I am Jack]

These wins, this is what we expect from Richmond.
They've underperformed for a LONG long time now.
Hardwick isn't the answer.

Daniher is far too giraffe like to be effective

He just isn't a natural footballer. He's an amazing athlete for his size, however his football smarts simply aren't at a high enough level.

The decision to handball off to Merrett in the third quarter (at a critical time in the match) was absolutely stupid and cost his team dearly. He also looks lost at times, obviously he'll improve with experience, however I haven't been impressed with him once the ball hits the deck.

Get excited you flog Ivan

Yuh? One of the more honest players in the comp. was great tonight pal......

 

[telsor]

Seems Richmond are so crap it hasn't won any games this year.

This takes it to 9 teams that have had such a bad day that they lost to us though.

Well how about just not being dicks then

 

[Xtreme]

Richmond might beat Adelaide but they will lose against St Kilda and Sydney

Daniher is far too giraffe like to be effective

He's a 200cm 20 year old... who looks like he needs another 2-3 years to really grow into his body - and I reckon still has huge upside. For the moment, he's a decent as a 2nd/3rd option up forward and unless you've got a clearly better alternative, I would say its worth persevering with him.

As are Richmond. Neither team will do much in the finals if they make it.

Was fantastic - some emotion would be nice though

Humble in victory, gracious in defeat.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

Could Richmond do it? Could they make ninth?
