We played like champions for the first half, then fell asleep in the third quarter. Richmond reversed their gameplan from the week before, but they defintely had me worried. It was nice to finish comfortably, but so late in the game??? Sure the umpires DEFINTELY favoured them, but if we were a strong side we would have won by at least 50 points. Campo was seriously quiet, and Johnson is becoming a bit of a dud in our midfield. It was good to beat them WITH Richo, but that third quarter fade was a worry. Sure we're not a great side, but we ARE rebuilding nicely. We still lack a decent rukman, a solid reliable defender and perhaps a goalsneak like Milne the Rapist. I kinda feel sorry for the Tigers because I think they have some truly class players, but they have absolutely no decent gameplan besides Richo and are hence looking like a rabble. I know how that feels, Carlton have been like that for the last couple of years! They need a decent coach who speaks honestly about the team. Even though we won, Pag's still compared us to 'a honeymooners nightdress going up and down all the time' - thats a great analogy, far beter than Flawley who just spits out cliches and excuses. I reckon he's gotta go, and they need a strategic no-bull**** coach. Hence their desire and BS rumour about them trying Pagan. Dream on Tigers, you don't have the cash we do!!!
