Richmond vs Collingwood Preliminary Final Rematch - Thursday 28th MCG

[MagpieJoel]

Last year when we had that long run of wins is when Whateley cracked it and talked about “the state of the game” and got a board assembled to change the rulebook.

The games have not been better to watch,the scores have been lower,the footy was on turbo last year,faster,more ferocious,the new rules have brought the slower teams up to the field.

The only correlation here is that Richmond isn't playing as well as they were and you suddenly feel the footy isn't as great to watch (12 games into the season).

What a surprise.

The game this year is won in the air more,not the ground,our team is loaded with on ground ball warriors,these rules combat against that.

You must be an only child from a family with money. How else could you possibly be so entitled, immature and insular all at the same time?

Lol,so wrong.

Let’s get personal when facts are presented

The rules did not change because of Richmond - fact.

 

[smasha]

Probably but my paranoia is the result of last year when after we had those long chain of wins and Whateley decided the game was in disrepair,that is what made me suspicious.

Hopefully we can adjust to the new rule book.

Peace!

I know you enjoy taking the piss but if slower teams improved due to the new rules Ports speed against us last eeek wouldn’t have been a factor.

 

[smasha]

I remember when Richmond were shit and I myself cried out for more one on one footy and to get rid of the zones,hopefully my club can adapt.

They all look a bit down in the tooth atm.

Credit to Collingwood,blasted us off the park.

That was in 2017 buddy, it's irrelevant now. We might as well post some pictures of 2010.

Or perhaps the scores from the other night?

A round 2 home and away win, well done. The cup is yours for the taking.

 

[EasternTiger]

Basketball crap.

 

[adammania9]

Strange that Richmond can’t lay tackles given they invented tackling in 2017

 

[purplearmy]

Time for Essendon to GROW. Get Rid Of Woosha.

 

[SuperSteele22]

You desperately need some pepper, pal. Your ratios are way out of whack.

When do you reckon Dusty will lay his first tackle this year?

 

[tugga]

Beaten by a much better side on the night.
We'll find out a lot about Richmond in the next month.
Could easily see us going 1-3 going into round 5.

Sorry Smasha, I respect you as a poster but mate you're clutching at straws here! 6-6-6 at centre bounce and an extra few metres from kick ins and this nullifies you're pressure game how? We have extra aerial contests all of a sudden? The only reason "marking" has gone up is because we were used the back half to ensure we kept possession.

If anything this new "rulebook" should suit good midfields right? Dunno about you but most would agree that the tiges one is not chump change, it's right up there.

Adapt to the "new rulebook"............... OH PUHLEASE!

You're lacking in comprehension skills.

Nowhere did I say we have won the cup. Your posts were irrelevant and still are.

I searched everywhere today for a Collingwood March Premiers jumper for my nephew but came up short. Does the Collingwood super store sell them?

Time for you blokes to move on and acknowledge you are now a fair way off the pace.

Good luck for the rest of the season.

Time to close this thread.
We've gone way past Richmond.
On to bigger challenges.

Off the pace? We're at the exact same place as last year.

Your call in the other thread pre season regarding Richmond and Melbourne was a big call at the time, but looking like it might be right afterall as both sides will face an uphill battle to make the top 8.

Now that's just silly. Surely you're not implying that fans aren't entitled to enjoy an early season win? You seem a little bit bitter but you don't need to be mate - there's no shame in being beaten by a superior outfit. I thought you guys were brave the other night.

Are Richmond even relevant?
