Opinion Are Richmond hitting the slope?

[csharp]

Richo played in more finals games than the dogs have flags in their history.

This is a fun game

So you're comparing games to years? That's your coping mechanism? Want to know how many finals Murphy played too?
How embarrassing, I thought that kind of desperation would've faded after 2017.

Richo had an absolute trash career, which is hilarious.

 

[damicky]

So I guess GWS have also hit the slope now

Honestly mate you bought the ridiculous hyperbole into it, Richo sits 12th all time for goals kicked despite playing in one of the worst teams of all time, stayed loyal to the tigers when he could have easily chased success elsewhere.

You just sound like a bit of a dickhead now.

You know what’s embarrassing? A keyboard warrior who is most probably a failure in life talking about a hall of famer having a trash career, truly embarrassing.

Must be concerning for Hardwick that they can't score

 

[The King!]

must be worried, 2 flags in 3 years and 2 bad losses... wheels off i guess

 

[Gavin Excell]

Dumb theory - but does the shorten quarters hurt Tigers?

Can't be bothered researching but when I have watched Richmond have noticed they.do apply acid late

1 bad loss

 

[The King!]

1 bad loss

id be happy as a pig in s**t still as a tiger fan, even if they have a s**t year in 2020

Yes that is hurting us the most imo, we have relied on superior fitness absorbing the attacks and then turning it up when the opposition gets tired.

Shorter quarters they aren't getting tired as early and giving up costly head starts as we have means when we can press in the last it was too late.

We are hopefully still fit so we need to either start the manic pressure earlier and wear them down or just not give up 5 goal headstarts.

Unfortunately with the short season we don't have that long to play around.

How many finals did he play?
Haha, garbage career.

You just sound like a bit of a dickhead now.

Aww, boo hoo. So you think you can troll Bob Murphy but can't take it when I correctly point out your "champion" player only played 3 finals in his career?
What a pathetic little baby lol.

Garbage career.

 

[Chaisa]

It's only one game, but I do wonder whether the shortened quarters does drag them back to the pack.

Still an excellent team on paper though so meh, they'll be fine.

 

[WillHayward]

Martin is the key.
If he is injured for a long period the Tigers can't win. He's that bloody good.

In the other hand I wouldn't be surprised with a surprise flag winner this year.

Cats, North. Port

 

[Blue1980]

First loss for a year.

Sure they could be about to collapse, but I don’t think so.

I’d expect them to be top 4 still.

 

[theyellowsash]

One minute Martin is an over rated hack. Next minute we are a bottom 4 team without him. Sounds similar to the talk about Rance.

 

[Freomaniac]

if the last 3 years are anything to go by, they will struggle in the 1st half of the year then do well in the 2nd half.

Do they finish the season with 7 games at home again??

 

[Hodgey 15]

We have lost 1 game in a calendar year...
classic Big Fooooty

If it helps you sleep better at night characterizing it as such then carry on.
It's how you've played in the three games so far that's the issue.

 

[lumpinee]

i dont think theres a mid season bye this year so NO,no snow trips coming up...BUT i did notice Houli pulled out an old party trick of his
by not going hard when it was his turn on the members wing there in the 1st QTR,i hadnt seen that from him since the H&A of 2017

We weren’t even in the 8 at the bye last year.

 

[Lsta062]

Are you sure?
Are they really that good without Dustin Martin?

When you take a player as explosive and damaging as he is out of that team, it feels like a lot of the scare factor drains away. Martin is 29 this year too; his explosive playing style might be harder to keep up with age.

We were almost as bad as we were against Collingwood last week even with Dusty playing. In fact, we kicked more this week. Dusty's a really good player, but but a team does not win multiple Premierships and a minor Premiership because of only 1 person. It does not work like that. The fact is that multiple players are out of form in our side at the moment. Dusty himself was out of form too. Give it time for us to warm up and I think we'll end up looking much better than the last 2 weeks.

yes..they tend to start slow and wear teams down.

A bit of that and a bit of the compromised training are I think the biggest issues for us. It’s the same rules for everyone so I can’t complain in any way, but when you watch the team over the last 3 years, our biggest strength is the understanding the players have between each other, knowing where they will be. That ‘connection’ that is always brought up takes time to build and to maintain, but with limited full group training it’s difficult. Everyone is affected to a degree by that, but teams with other strengths will be less affected. It’s going to be interesting and fun to see how the club deals with it.

This is the point imo. I’d be interested to see who scored the most in red time last year. Wouldn’t be surprised if we where top
