Too lazy to look up, but when was the last time North had four players with 10 or more tackles in the same game? Xerri with 12, and 10 from each of Sheezel, Wardlaw, and McKercher. These are all career highs, absolutely nuts. Then I look up team tackle totals and North had 92 and Richmond matched them! Crazy game.
 
We had some good plays all day but this was my favorite.
Lots of good stuff. Pink showing the smarts to attack straight away when he could be forgiven for going in his shell as a "journeyman" player. Wardlaw's perfect effort as well as Larkey buttering up twice in quick succession to win the grab.

It's not just the bump.. it's the ability to trap the footy from going over the line as well. **** I love him
My son loves Wardlaw and we were raving about how with 99% of players the "win" in that scenario is a throw in. That is a rare talent.
 
Exactly. So much negativity in this thread.

It was ugly nourishment.

Combine this weeks first quarter with last weeks 2nd, 3rd & last quarters & we’re looking okay.

Today was a mini grand final for this Richmond team, on their home deck & they brought the heat.

In the past month of footy we are only -9 on the scoreboard.

We’re tracking a lot better than this time last year. Slowly coming together.

I won’t be watching the replay of that one, but the players will & they’ll continue to work on the things they need to work on.

We’re only two & a half games out of the eight! (Tongue firmly in cheek here)
That's kind of eye opening because arguably we've bottled 3 wins we could have banked.
 
I bet the MRO are now scrambling through the tape, looking for someone to suspend

“Sir, Tom Lynch received a knock to the head yesterday, and now has suspected concussion”.

“Ah well, accident happen”

“Sir, they played north Melbourne yesterday”

“NORTH MELBOURNE? NORTH MELBOURNE? Well why didn’t you say that earlier. Quick Michael Christian, To the Suspend-mobile”
 
he is in pretty good company.
Can't complain, I've put in 15 years of dragging the poor kid to the footy but it feels like finally he see's players as his team which is all you can ask for. Got to play the long game and hope they hit 18 years old and want to go to the footy with the old man.

Love's Ford too so hoping the team help him out on that front as well.

As ugly as it was at one point the tigers were dishing out a pressure rating above 270 which is absolutely ****ed.

If we both Richmond and North get flogged this weekend then we’re clearly just both dogshit.

But if we both do okay then maybe the tigers were just manic and on one against us. In which case it was a better win that it may seem.

But I’d be leaning toward the former option quite heavily.

That kind of pressure from Richmond is not a one-off and has undone good teams this year - matching it and winning is nothing to be sneezed at.
