Absolutely disgusting to watch. Completely outplayed tonight.
The AFL get what they want. Disgraceful fixturing and organisation of our accomodation set us up big time. Richmond have been arsey for the past month and it’s continued tonight, getting a free ride again.
Settle down boys. It's a fairly solid game off a 4-day break against another in-form team. The sky isn't falling. Certainly some things we can do better but that was far and away better than anything we did during our first stint in Queensland.

Also played a man down the whole game without Kennedy

So did they though.

No excuses - they kicked goals out of their arses and looked a million bucks doing it.

Honestly expected to lose that one anyway. But now we need to get it together and turn around for Essendon.

Don't know how we got so close. Very flat, Zero luck, they had everything go their way, and we were still in it til the end somehow.

Interesting to see the best players list. Knowing the media, it will be Sheed, Gaff, Shuey probably added. Sheed was terrible I thought. Gaff was innefective.

Best for me

Shepherd, Shuey, Duggan, Kelly, Ryan and Nic Nat

Too many passengers...Reid, Brander, Crippa, Hurn lost a yard of pace, JK gone in first few minutes. Williams first game. At least the boys have experienced the benchmark, and were realistically probably due for a loss.

Very happy with Williams and O'Neill though. The midfield have stood up. They'll use this as good motivation. Brander and Reid will be an absolute liability in finals unfortunately.
Bookends Barrass and Darling destroyed us. Very bad nights - the game plane may have defeated them but Barrass gave away 3 goals.
Our bottom 6 or so are not up to it. Good ins will be our key to success.

I can’t wait for Richmond to be irrelevant for another 27 years.

Up for a couple and don’t the bandwagoners come out in force.

It’s only a matter of time.
Actually it was 37 years. Makes it all the more galling about how cocky these band wagoners are.

Talking sense at a time like this!? How are we gonna fold the club with that attitude?
