AFL 2015, Round 9 - Richmond v Essendon, MCG, 7.20pm

[Richo83]

lol

After what I saw today in the VFL you are the ones who have no youth coming through.

That's because a lot of Richmond's youth is playing AFL instead, and, you know, winning medals and all for being best on ground.

Who cares if you think it was a rancid game, don't ******* watch it then, as long as RFC wins, I could not give a ****.

Are you drunk-posting?

Are you drunk-posting?

nope, have not touched a drop.

 

[Oneiros]

nope, have not touched a drop.

Well, there goes the obvious explanation, I guess.

 

[gavaniacono]

These wins mean more than ones when the game

"Lloyd has done a great job with our goal kickers"

"Our field kicking was a little down"

What drugs is Hird on???

the drugs that give him a hard on, glowing orange, for Matthew, obviously.

 

[gaelictiogar]

Epic ?.. No way! Was a s**t game.
If you consider that to be heart pumping, I suggest you make an appointment with your Doctor.

The thing is mate when Richmond play Carlton/Collingwood/Essendon at the G in a game that matters tens of thousands of people feel their hearts pump with excitement. That is what being a Tiger fan is when playing a close game against huge rival clubs. That's what being a footy fans is.

When a one point game at the end of the third qtr stops getting me going I'll be an ex fan. As it is my heart beats for the Tigers in those situations.

Love interstate supporters like yourself. You love to make up rubbish because you are crying inside that your minow club never plays in front of 80,000 plus like we do. I love WC next 4 weeks coming up, so far you have had a such easy draw and are full to bursting. My prediction after that month of footy you will be back to reality

Richmond supporter calling West Coast a minnow club... Lol wow.

Richmond supporter calling West Coast a minnow club... Lol wow.

We're 3rd in membership, 2nd in internet traffic, 1st in attendances this year.

Safe to say when you're talking about Richmond, you're not talking to a North Melbourne supporter, we've got some great support. We've had an average of 52,000 people per game, thats 1st in the competition (that average includes 1 game in Tasmania against North Melbourne) and your team has an average attendance rate of 30,000 ranked 12th.

 

[scalesofjustice]

thank you Richmond for spoiling the nauseating Dustin Fletcher wankfest

He should have retired 150 games ago, but Im glad that idiot Hird pushed him to play 400 and he was a liability in another Bomber loss. Top coaching

You disappear when you lose. I am not surprised - great work on spending your night counting posts - beats watching the replay??

Come back when you've had some relevance in September...

 

[Gavin Excell]

Wow what a terrible game of footy. Was like watching local footy in terms of skills etc.

Well played Tiges, too good, controlled the game for longer than we did, we were only ever fleeting.

Not for the first time essendon have served up a dreary game. Are the dons more dour and defensive this year? Offensively dont seem as sharp as last 2 years

 

[Jesse Custer]

Well done tigers. With your young and superior list top 4 beckons

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

10 premierships ain't too shabby. This competition existed before 1990 nimrod.

 

[SBYM]

How do I get in on this love-fest?

 

[dean33]

That stuff is for after you're retired, not once you've just finished playing a game against him. He is the opposition, don't wish them well

I think after a game is when you shake hands and wish the opposition well... Been happening for the last 100 years I think...

Too bad crowd numbers are only part of being a big club.

You would expect to have larger attendances playing at a 100k capacity stadium most weeks compared to a club with a waiting list playing at a 44k capacity ground.

well done

 

[dean33]

Like Grigg and Houli? Bombers got a good one with FA, Thompson got an old mate in for last hurrah and Cooney came for 2nd round pick in the Ryder deal. We have lost Crameri and Ryder in the same time so age of list hasn't changed much. We still have a pretty young team out there.

Yeah Heppell, Daniher, Merrett, Gleeso VGn and a few others are total shite. Also Hurley, Hooker, Zaka, Myers, Ambrose, Hibberd, Baguely, Colyer and Carlisle are over the hill.

Grigg in career best form while houli, surely you are not knocking one of the best set up defenders in the comp? Or still bitter he didn't want to play for golden boy?

Lol - diverting an insipid performance into counting.

Who's waiting if your average attendance is 30k?? You're third on the ladder, you belted GC by 90 points two weeks ago, and you only got 26 thousand in. That would be the lowest crowd in years for Richmond. We get that type of crowd to our family days.

 

[Confuscius]

"Lloyd has done a great job with our goal kickers"

"Our field kicking was a little down"

What drugs is Hird on???

Well we'd tell you but... Actually you haven't seen a spreadsheet lying around have you?

Obviously the people who can't get a seat are waiting because other members have held their seat for over 10 years. The majority of our seated members are old so we get low crowds when the weather is poor and they can't be bothered putting their seat up for resale. This will change in 2018 when the new 60k capacity stadium is finished.
