I know there is more but in those final 5 minutes these guys went into contests 100% head first for this club. Huge respect for these blokes all in different phases of their career but to be out there playing in what was a mini final and just never giving in was fantastic to see.
Ellis was...
Confident that Ben Griffiths will be the man replacing Dylan Grimes. He is better suited to playing in defence than big Posty as he is a quick thinker with sublime skills.
The key to the success of the big fella back there will be team defence led by Trossman. If they all get on the same page...
I bailed at the siren but I understand he won the award and rightly so! He is a genuine jet running through the midfield and is also hitting the scoreboard.
I just wish sometimes his teammates would use him even more! Nahas should of handballed so much earlier than he did when Lids was...
We've copped a tough draw up until Round 10 this season and our position on the ladder til that time is likely to be below our realistic standing in the competition. Many people would have us sitting at 3-7 come Round 10. If that does arise it is far from over and our playing group must stay...
This may be a blessing in disguise. Daniel Jackson will get weeks for his body slam on Jack Grimes. He has used the ball poorly again today following last weeks debacle, so he should be made to come back through Coburg.
Not that it is purely a Richmond issue at all, I have just watched the interview and it is hard to not see this poor bloke as the scapegoat. The questioning made by the panel was just plain disgraceful!
He has a valid point in stating the fact some indigenous players have a hard time in the...
I dont know about all of you but I am ready to put a line through Matt White and Jeremey Webberley for round 1. These 2 blokes have been given massive opportunity by the coaching staff to impress for a potential round 1 berth.
Both are definitely playing for their careers come seasons end...
Just gone past Richmond station on the train and I couldn't help but notice a disgusting Bombers/Foxtel billboard right across from our oval. That section should be yellow and black and nothing else! Get it taken down Richmond! Bloody ambush marketing.
Based around the acquisitions made by Blair Hartley - Houli and Grigg last year lets look at which players are in similar positions to these guys.
Houli last season 26 games (5 in 2010)
Grigg last season 43 games in total (8 in 2010)
Adelaide
Ivan Maric 77 games (6 in 2011)
Carlton
Paul...
My understanding is we have Free Agency coming in next season so taking a view certain NBA teams take we could be proactive in setting ourselves up for this. The idea is too help out another club by taking a large contract of their hands that is expiring come end 2012 so we have serious coin for...
M.Clark - Weapon, when playing first ruck can also act as a wall and take hangers in defence as he did in 2009 featuring in MOTW most rounds.
Z.Clarke - Raw but looks the goods, question how damaging he is but would definitely add to our list.
S.Hampson - He is tall gets first hands but...
Daniel Jackson - You cost us so much on so many forward thrusts its gotten to the point where your making it 19 Vs 17 in the oppositions favour.
Is this guy really carrying an injury? At the moment the more he gets it the more worse off we are.
We love wrapping the ball nicely putting a bow tie on it and sending it right to the oppositions chest. Every team does it but we do it more than the acceptable level. If we simply cut down this figure by 50% we win some games we haven't this season.
Against Essendon you will see some common...
So there is a chance both Graham and Tuck won't be here next season so we must ask is there a point of playing them if one or both wont be here next year?
FWIW I personally am sick to death of all the chanting for Tuck to play when we all know he isn't going to be coming out of our race in...
Watching the Francis Bourke interview yesterday Richo brought up the way the football club operated back then and how much of a lord Graeme Richmond was and the image he gave RFC.
So I just don't get why we don't revert back to those ways??? Sure its a new era and people are more politically...
Well it is apparent our back line is not up the standard. Furthermore our midfield lacks a defensive side. Let's evaluate the back half and midfield from today.
Will Thursfield - Played his last game for the Richmond Football Club today, was outmarked by much smaller opponents. (However happy...
I've come across the broadcast guide for next week - Sydney Vs Richmond Channel 7 1 hour delay into Melbourne!
How about you stick your ****ing game on live when it is interstate you useless excuse for a network! All good doing it on delay when it's played in Melbourne. However we aren't all...
In cricket terms our batting depth hasn't been good and players 19-45 on the list were probably just taking up one end. (McGrath)
Now are we starting to see the lower brigade have an impact on the side? (MJ)
Looking at players 22-30 right now, not in any particular order.
Connors...
Great game by Titch today! He has all the tricks for his size very good overhead and his use and ability to create space today was sensational. 7 goal assists today! Most players don't even have that for the whole season. TAKE A BOW!
Doing an assignment, need to know your Mission and Vision statements and can't for the life of me find them on your website. Anyone know what they are? Thanks in advance.
I know its well and truly past but been it's been on my mind since after Thursdays game. I am not sure what the situation with Tuck is but I feel as though he may well be the perfect sub.
I read that Dimma was waiting til rnd 3 or 4 before bringing Tuck back into the team when the pace had...
One of the best things about this season without a doubt has been the breakout season of Jack Riewoldt, getting more than 1 win, seeing 42 players tried at the highest level.
However a bloke that seems to have gone under quite a fews radar this season is Shane Edwards. Consistently in our top...
Well by the sounds of things the lad doesn't even want a contract put infront of him by BL, they look to be losing Brennan to GC because of spending too much on Raines, Fev, Clarke, Maguire, Staker and Buchanon over last seasons trade period.
Rischitelli I believe is a VIC lad and wants to...
Ben "Biggie" Griffiths 4 from 4 your spot is safe in the team whilst this win % continues. His chasing was very good today and slotting that goal really turned the momentum back in our favour after Dustin mint goal from the clearance.
Series of 5 little videos with JR hosting on the Richmond website nice little insight even though JR not to sharp with the mic in hand.
Rancey very funny on the plane though, maybe they can throw the hosting around a bit amongst the boys.
Oh and Vick..clever 91 ENTER score :P
Since watching Fremantles great win against Brisbane I have had an issue and its all to do with Pavlich. He is in my Dream Team so I watch him quite closely. The guy never takes a mark in his hands out in front.
I thought to myself I will give it a week because he was just against Staker and...
I have been becoming increasingly frustrated with the nature of our scores in these losses. Scoring 54 points doesn't get me excited quite frankly.
Its clear our forward line has been resting on a 21 year olds shoulder in Jack Riewoldt, and then some little whipper snappers getting a few...
