AFL 2019 Round 5: Richmond v Sydney, 7:25pm AEST MS

[WCfan22]

With due respect, you're a WCE supporter so booing is probably considered more normal for you than for me. Don't get me wrong I can understand it if a guy cheap shots one of your players behind play or if a player is playing against his old club the first couple of times, but beyond that I just can't understand it. And I've been to three games this year so far and not once during those games has the full forward been booed just for the sake of it.

Cheap shot coming from a collingwood supporter the all conquering holyer than holy #1 team for booing.
And your a great liar saying you wouldn't understand it i call bs.

Buddy isn’t very popular with Tigers supporters ... still haven’t forgotten the way he “roughed up” Rancey.

 

[WCfan22]

Blind man Freddie could see that he was never ever going to play the entirety of the deal.



Whoop de doooooooooooo

You play football to win premierships, Buddy himself said he was moving to Sydney to win some more......... He's failed to do so

Fair point but in fairness sydney were still in the mix when he moved up there its hard to tell how a team will be going 5 years later but i think a 10 year contract is way too long aswell

 

[gavaniacono]

Geez Roco needs to buy a treadmill.

 

[Arctic fox]

Phenomenal stat that Buddy has 197 goal assists. Nearly triple that of Lloyd

Well sure, considering those stats started in 2007 and Lloyd finished in 2009. Well done sir.

 

[telsor]

Ha ha ha away game ha ha ha

What else do you call it when you're paying at a ground that the opposition plays on more often?

 

[RAPPA]

Well sure, considering those stats started in 2007 and Lloyd finished in 2009. Well done sir.

They started in 2002 actually: Either way and accounting for that, Buddy’s numbers would still be significantly higher than Lloyd’s

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Errr, I think the emphasis was premierships in the post you quoted.

Yeah but my post he was responding to wasn’t.

Yes, imagine saying that in an interview.

Thank you for sharing with me your remarkable insights into the challenges of establishing the AFL in a city that has always historically been hostile to the code. Your understanding of the nuances are second to none and I look forward to many more pearls of wisdom.

Your deadset serious. You were still in melbourne mate.

At a ground that is loose earth on concrete, that all our fans hate going to, and that could fit less than half our members even if we liked it, that is more like the SCG than the MCG in size, That is closer to South Melbourne than it is to Richmond, and bloods old timers still turn out in decent numbers.

Away game-ish.

No damage done it seems, got the points and no injuries to our top liners ( minor miracle!)

Still hardly jumping on a plane for an hour after an hour in the airport plus the travel getting to and from the airport plus staying in a hotel bed instead of home bed with family. So i dont even see the ish part at all. Is there some sort of distorted view here about what constitutes an away game. Obviously its different if you were playing someone like the saints at marvel but we're talking about a sydney team.

LOL
Needed a laugh

 

[EasternTiger]

Bit of an ugly win but we'll take the 4 points and move on.

Unlike our fellow Big 4 clubs, no fanfare or ra ra ra from our fans.

Just quietly going about the business of winning games of football.

Respectful, conscientious, humble. The Richmond Way.

 

[Black Saab]

Your deadset serious. You were still in melbourne mate.

Back before your mob entered our comp every team played away games in Melbourne or Victoria even though we were all from suburban Melbourne or inside Victoria. South Melbourne was the first team to shift games a bit further away. So yes, it was not our home ground last night. Your Eagles are a VFL construct.

 

[DontArgue4]

Geese dons and saints fans are up and about arent they Flooded this thread with junk bagging both teams

See? Bloody stones throw from your spiritual home!

Bloods old timers come teeming up from the other side of the river.

They lack class and integrity.

I can't tell you exactly how many essendon supporters I have on ignore, but it's a lot. Insufferable buffoons.

Win a couple of games and they get reeaaalllll up and about

Tiges showed signs of improvement, higher energy, willingness to run hard.

However it must be said the last 2 weeks were ERROR-RIDDEN. This week worse than last week with very sloppy disposals and a game plan that seems to encourage close enough is good enough. Lack of precision will be seized on by the top teams and we will get punished.

 

[KeilorUnder9s]

Also took Buddy more games to go passed Lordo in goals. Lloyd the superior goal kicker no doubt.

 

[smasha]

Yeah I reckon. He's an icon of the game and he plays for one club. He will cop it from most of the 17 other clubs supporters. Just like Alex Rance cops it for the Tigers.

Exactly,we have enormous respect for Buddy,he was the worry for mine all week.

Swans played good footy,just happy to take the 4 points and move on to the next game.

Edwards ,2 from 2 as captain and our young cubs playing well again.

 

[Andronicus]

Phenomenal stat that Buddy has 197 goal assists. Nearly triple that of Lloyd

That's about as meaningful as congratulating him on playing in a Sydney jumper over 100 more times than Dunstall.

 

[RUNVS]

Respectful, conscientious, humble. The Richmond Way.

Um, Richmond fans were probably the least respectful/humble group of supporters in bigfooty history after the 2017 premiership.

Very different eras. Much easier for forwards to kick goals in Lloyd's era.
