Round 20 2014 - Richmond vs Essendon.

[stevo86]

We need a stat on scrubby kicks and kick blindly in forward 50. This game has no skill.. just a scrappy skilless game.... hoping for something better rest of week that was just rubbish.

blues didn't play tonight bud

Stuff the Premier league, how bout some WWE with Robinson and Garlett in some after dark entertainment.

HAHAHA - my dark side would like to see Jeffy and Robbo getting beaten up after the crap they have dished up. No deflecting on tonights game though..Happy Richmond won no matter how dirty I feel - trying to win the right way even though it takes five decades

We kick long on boundary line remember?

Bomber is off his chops.

 

[Fuzzy Wuzzy Bear]

More or less the standard Richmond season....out of contention by round 10.....win late season games when season is already over...hype builds for next year...rinse and repeat. Would actually like to see the tiges a consistent top 4 team for once.

Good to see Essendon get done though.

 

[Modified Dog]

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

What's the question?

 

[Tiger_man322]

What's the question?

Who won the Norm Smith in 2004?

 

[McRobie]

Does Jake Carlisle have a brain?

 

[Bazzar]

Once again the Bombers are showing they are July champions and go to water when the season counts.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Judging Daniher in his first game back after three weeks out with a broken collar bone?

He didn't play well at all tonight, but that's just stupid.

Then don't play him if he's not ready

Lolendon

 

[Ron The Bear]

Essendon were the better team, beaten by their own forward inefficiency.

Yes and they will win their court case too.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Money on Essendon.

I hope you can live with that decision.

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

So many wasted words on two teams nowhere near the quality of the top 4 in 2014.

Both will be knocked out early.

At least our season wasn't over after round 4.

 

[Tiger71]

It's bizarre, I don't like him myself, but the flip flopping is ridiculous!!!

That is because you have a redacted due to picking scully and trengrove and missing the better player. Oh, still think melbourne has gone past richmond this year ?

Muppet

lol. You guys cant kick a big score. Also we smashed you in clearances, in truth we should have won by 5 goals if we were accurate. We kicked 5.4 from pressure turnovers. Again, as predicted you guys have a mental issue with winning games this time of year..its 4 years now with the same pattern.

 

[Tiger71]

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

Oh we won it by 3 goals

It seems the Carlton supporters are in a negative mood. Can't blame you though ... discipline issues, CEO gone, going to post a $1.4m loss, highest paid coach in the league not delivering, weak leadership, Judd retiring, Waite, Garlett & Robinson possibly all going, Simpson & Carazzo nearing the end, least talent in the league for u/25 players, dysfunctional board, Daisy Thomas a flop and Betts starring, new CEO a big risk ...

Worry about your own backyard boys

 

[Tiger71]

Strange post. They're a mix of talented footballers (Cotchin, Martin, Deledio etc.) and honest battlers (Grigg, Rance, Thomas, Morris etc). They haven't looked impressive in any match this season, they've beaten the teams that are around them on the ladder and consistently lost to the top-4.

They are a good-ordinary side that overachieved last season (many players having career best seasons, winning close games etc) that have performed at a more indicative level this season.

Cool story bro

Whats killed us this year is losing 7 of our top 15 for large chunks from rnd 1-10. With clubs like mine, with little depth as we had to rebuild during the compromised draft period, not having our starting 22 kills us. Since our main 22 have come on, we are now winning games again. in the last 10 rounds we have won 7 and lost 3...thats where we are at and more a true reflection of our side. What helped us last year was our 22 stayed on the park for longer then this year but its not all bleak.

We have found a few players in Miles and McDonough. Looks like we can cover not having Tyrone as Griffith seems to be now playing to his potential and we should not need Thomas or Grigg next year...so bottom line, one or two more drafts should start to see us play finals more often then not.

Well at least we wont see Carlton get in on a freebie this year, from a similar finishing point for all 3 teams last year Richmond and Essendon are still in the hunt, while Carlton has fallen into a massive slump both on and off the field, they're becoming a minnow

 

[Tiger2709]

9th is looking achievable for this mob.. grats to them. Essendon played like sht doesn't mean they lost it for them selves richmond just ran harder. On another note just on umpiring at about the 5 minute mark in last quarter goddard was first to the ball had a richmond player land in his back then on his head... no free kick. 10 seconds later chappy trying to take a mark and richmond player just runs into him not looking at the ball.. play on... None of these would have changed the game so I'm not saying that at all.. all I'm saying is umpiring is at an all time ruddy low right now in the AFL... Good win ninthmond.

Are you expecting us to push the Magpies down to tenth?

 

[Tiger2709]

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

lol you are a poor loser, Richmond beat Essendon at the stoppages our midfielders were well on top except for Heppell, Maric dominated the ruck in the second half and we were much cleaner with the ball going forward, surprised we didnt win by more really.

 

[DivideandMultiply]

Thats ok, you can view your champ with rose colored glasses but the fact remains Cox has been one of the worst in the last 10 years at throwing the reckless elbow to cause pain.

Nope, it's an objective view and one grounded in reality.

Feel free though to keep deflecting and trying to justify the actions of a thug and coward in Vickery.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Our decision making and skill execution were shithouse credit to the Tigs.
