I like Gilbert. I hope Ch7 give him a chance to find his feet. He’ll get there eventually.

I think it's because the Geelong and Collingwood 'neutrals' can't work out who to hate, so struggle to get the usual enthusiasm into their trolling.
Yep, definitely our bogey side. Can’t even remember the last time we beat you guys tbh.

Yeah, nah.....Geelong doesn't care about Richmond as there's been no rivarly for years, Hawthorn on the other hand.....
Its just one of those things and I think Hardwick coaching under Clarkson has a lot to do with it. It's like he has a great understanding of knowing how to stop what Clarko wants to do.
Totally agree. Hardwick has built a great culture as well.

You'd think so, but every Richmond thread has plenty of Geelong fans sooking in it.

The only Cat supporters who did hate the Tiges (because of Fred Swift) have probably departed this mortal coil. The Cats are irrelevant, that's why the Tiges couldn't careless about them.
Good win, great to see dusty back to his best and amazing to see us winning clearances with Soldo great tap work albeit without big boy there. To be 6-3 and eventually getting everyone back except rance is a great spot to be.

Last year he was All Australian. This season he has probably played 2 good games out of 9. The rest have been poor

Top effort Richmond. Hawks can't be underestimated. The defense looks to have settled without Rance which is a massive step. On the Tigs!!

2017 iirc which is kind of funny considering us beating hawthorn during the season happened almost every season across 08 and the threepeat, then in 2017 you gave us a touch up.
Maybe losing today would have been better
Good win for Richmond. Thought we might get them this time given their outs. Their system is very robust, and everyone on the list does a good job of implementing it, so they seem to be able to perform well despite their long injury list (beat our VFL side today with pretty much the same system too).
We were going well with the idea of stretching them for height, and were probably keeping it competitive scoring shot wise until we lost McEvoy and Lewis. 4th game this year with 2 on the bench for the second half. Ruined what might have been a close finish, hard to complain too much given who Richmond had out, but losing players during the game really sucks.
Not really sure why we decided to replace Frawley with Glass, pretty much forcing Sicily onto Lynch. Sicily did ok on Lynch, but it is not his strength, and meant we didn't get as much run from Sicily as we normally do (half the rebounds he's been averaging for the year, although did get more intercepts than anyone else on the ground, so his normal role wasn't completely negated by manning Lynch).

I do keep on hearing about the Cats being irrelevant but somehow a lot of Tiger supporters keep on talking about them incessently........

Well the Bay has Tigers supporters not caring about Geelong for 5 minutes, but outside this I just don't see it....more bait and response if anything...
Just checked, it was 2016. Seems like an eternity! Even through our golden era you guys would get us. We are your bunnies unfortunately2017 iirc which is kind of funny considering us beating hawthorn during the season happened almost every season across 08 and the threepeat, then in 2017 you gave us a touch up.

Geelong fans on BF are good for a laugh (more laughing at than laughing with, but a laugh none the less). The club is just another 'who cares' minnow.

No one would think they're over celebrating a goal, the majority would welcome the support for a young player making his way and realising a dream.
Yeah, it was probably too understated, but it isn't like nobody went to him. Reckon we were pretty spent at that stage, so I can understand why a bunch more players didn't run from other parts of the ground to congratulate him.

Lol. We had almost 65K to the game put on late Sunday afternoon. Hardly any Hawk supporters there today. Compare that to the 66K that went to Hawthorn v Geelong on Easter Monday blockbuster........
