****ing BT.

Walks straight past Weiters to ask Brad Lloyd about… Weiters

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Gotta hand it to the Tigers for making it a slog given the circumstances. All we can do is take the 4pts and forget it ever happened.

Balta is an idiot savant and a fascinating watch.

 

[Worm4]

Larkey and Zurhaar would be licking their chops at the prospect of squaring up against Young and Kemp. Terrible combination those 2 together.

Since 2019, there have been 39 instances of teams coming from at least 30 points down to win a game. Those sides have gone 12-27 the following week, including 0-8 last season.

We did well to hold up after the thrill of last week.

 

[T2B_]

More love for Crippa. That was vintage, warrior team oriented and brutal Cripps. Didn't have enough mates but he can hold his head very high.

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

Im glad we won I guess?

Winning ugly is a sign of maturity (somewhat), but we also won ugly in the first 4-5 rounds last year too. I just hope it was a one off.

I don’t think it’s the same thing. We were clearly better than them tonight and ****ed it up. Last year we were scrapping the whole way

 

[Red Bull]

We just love doing things the bloody hard way don’t we.
Some composure … someday … would be really nice …

 

[passmark]

We won’t win a flag if Weitering isn’t there.

Richmond are bottom four, yet we nearly lost.

He is so important.

We’ll need both W’s or we’re cooked.

 

[ferrisb]

Remember when we used to start the season 0-2 every year?

We're 2-0 (incl playing Bris at the Gabba). Let's just appreciate that for a moment.

 

[jj1978]

We get weiters , Martin, Motlop & Marchy back for selection - we freshen up after two energy sapping games.

You’re afraid of north - really?

They won their first 3 or close to it last year didn’t they? Clarko ain’t no mug and they will start the season with youthful exuberance. They almost bit us on the butt last year early on.

 

[Korn]

TDK and Carroll were great.
Our small players need to play better next game.

 

[ferrisb]

Charlie was our best key defender today...

 

[CCurnow3picks]

They didn't have any wins this bad

Im glad we won I guess?

Winning ugly is a sign of maturity (somewhat), but we also won ugly in the first 4-5 rounds last year too. I just hope it was a one off.

The good news is our percentage is growing - 4 x last weeks winning
Margin!!!!

 

[M_I_G]

just saved that game in my 'don't ever watch this game again' folder. yuck

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Now that it is done and we held on, I'm going to look at the positives.

That Richmond side might be on the decline but they are vastly more experienced than us and played that like a grand final.

We held our nerve and ground out another close win.

We have the bye next week and are another week closer to getting one or two players back.

 

[jj1978]

Huge 4 points. I’m trying to remember the last time we had a comfortable win, my heart is still pumping

Port??? When they came with a b grade side.

 

[LanceRomance]

Remember when we used to start the season 0-2 every year?

We're 2-0 (incl playing Bris at the Gabba). Let's just appreciate that for a moment.

Used to be 0-5

 

[Zlatan]

I know a lot of us are disappointed cause we didn’t absolutely bury them and we really should have.

But no Weitering, Marchbank, Martin, Motlop, Walsh, Elijah…and we’re still winning. Gotta count for something.

 

[kreuze_missile]

When do we get to talk about the all-time great ruckman Marlon Pickett towelling up TDK in the middle..?

 

[The Defender]

Hopefully the psych appointments booked in for Charlie & Kemp during week.

TDK I was all over him but did he stick it up me in the last.

Carroll I reckon we got a good one. Hope they give him a lengthy go at it.

Harry’s goal kicking & play been great.

Not much else exciting but 2 from 2 we’ll take.

 

[CCurnow3picks]

They won their first 3 or close to it last year didn’t they? Clarko ain’t no mug and they will start the season with youthful exuberance. They almost bit us on the butt last year early on.

They will lose to GWS this week by 100

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

hahahaha my richmond supporting family are blaming the umpires

 

[skadoosh]

Cripps playing a real captain's game.

Didn't stand out or try anything flashy.

But dug in again and again and never gave an inch.

A true blue warrior who lifts everyone up with him.
