Autopsy Autopsy vs Richmond

[Samsquanch]

Despite how few wins we‘ve had, I didn’t enjoy that. Feels sortve like a loss.

Honestly, more negatives than positives out of that one. I know I’m a wet blanket.

Nah. It was a win. A shit house game but take it. It's better than losing.

Like Richmond just did.

 

[apollo_creed]

Three points down, draw, win by four. Literally turning it around.

Against a side about three years behind us. Wow!

 

[JGreezy]

What a weird take. You’re counting games we didn’t deserve to win but did (today) as well as ones we might’ve deserved to win but didn’t (last week). Can’t have it both ways buddy. Extremely flawed logic.

Also we didn’t deserve to beat PA. We got a very, very good run with the umps and they were the better side.

It's not a weird take, or flawed logic, you're just not getting it.

We had opportunities to win all of those games, and could have if we executed better at the end, but we fell short. So actually closing this one out is important. Both for experience and for their confidence in those situations.

 

[Roosurgence]

Best thing about that clip was Tom Lynch jumping into his own player with no contact and then sitting on the ground with his arms outstretched pleading for a free kick.

What a ****ing germ!

 

[Samsquanch]

Why on earth did Duursma not kick for goal. Surely, someone should have told him. Astonishing.

Probably just out of range at that end but why were the forwards so badly set up?

 

[Caracas]

We froze when we got within a kick of 80 points. How Darling, Jy and Zane managed to get zero from three set shots inside 50 meters is a mystery for the ages. Even three behinds would have put the game to bed.

 

[por_please_ya]

Toby, thank you

Pulled off a Mark Keane!!

Congrats Shinboners
They didn't make it easy but managed to get there in the end. Mr Porps feels very relieved.

 

[Moti]

Against a side about three years behind us. Wow!

Or doesn’t matter when you start it depends on whether it actually moves. Our list build has been uneven and we reap the results.

 

[Rod Stroker]

cracking battle, X with the points

 

[zoomba23]

Against a side about three years behind us. Wow!

Going into today they had six more premiership points than us. Claiming that anyone else's rebuild arc matches ours is just false. We do things harder, we sift through more shit, we go through more shit. For whatever reason, that's what was decreed sometime around 2021/2022.

Just try and at least mildly soak in the fact that we didn't end a close game on the ****ing wrong end for once, bro

 

[berniemccarthy]

This is classic NM board. Bitch hard when we lose and bitch slightly less when we win. FFS.

 

[Caracas]

Probably just out of range at that end but why were the forwards so badly set up?

Possibly. However, he wasn’t out of range for a behind, which would’ve put us 2 goals clear.

 

[krakouers]

Possibly. However, he wasn’t out of range for a behind, which would’ve put us 2 goals clear.

Wasn’t much movement by the forwards though? At least BGZ tried something

 

[Samsquanch]

Best thing about that clip was Tom Lynch jumping into his own player with no contact and then sitting on the ground with his arms outstretched pleading for a free kick.

What a ****ing germ!

To be fair, Tom Lynch had a free earlier when there was no illegal contact and was paid a mark he didn't hold so he was probably right to expect another gift.

Meanwhile, at the other end...

 

[Kangaroosters]

Against a side about three years behind us. Wow!

Dude, respectfully, shut up.

Being a north fan has been hard enough without blokes like you souring the small wins that we get so few of.

 

[zoomba23]

There never is

 

[danj]

How’s the ironing in that, win our first quarter win the game

 

[Roosurgence]

Yeah they were umpired right into that game, especially the first half of the second quarter. Its a joke.

I’m not sure how you can take the game seriously when a defender like Broad turns his back on play and runs directly at Larkey who is leading up to the ball and runs into him to stop him getting to the contest.

Umpire directly in line 5m away watched it and completely ignored it.

Games ****ed!

Until umpires are held accountable expect them just to shit on teams that aren’t big clubs.

 

[ferball]

Our fans we had as many bad decisions favour us as they had favour them.

Even the commentators were calling it. The ball was smothered and went out of bounds and was paid deliberate agianst us at one point. They kept it inside 50 and scored.

 

[Shagga is all Class]

Pressure factor was 273 to 245 during the 2nd quarter against and we survived.

We won a close game and the media can STFU.

Mainly soft targets but 4 weeks running, no cricket scores.

Take the win and run.

 

[por_please_ya]

Great win and it’s going to actually finally validate our progress over the past month

This is how we feel sloppy win but a reward for the hard work from the previous weeks.

 

[scottywiper]

Hardeman a positive. X a beast. LDU woke up in last.
Powell solid, McKercher better.
Wardlaw fairly quiet and his disposal is pretty erratic.
Thought Pink battled manfully on Lynch, especially given the lack of assistance he was getting.
First quarter good, rest pretty poor and generally disappointing.
Scott, Corr absolutely horrific. Duursma nothing.

 

[Roosurgence]

To be fair, Tom Lynch had a free earlier when there was no illegal contact and was paid a mark he didn't hold so he was probably right to expect another gift.

Meanwhile, at the other end...

He was paid an arm chop against Pink that wasn’t there and then in the last Larkey gets dragged down while trying to contest a mark and it’s play on.

****ing deplorable the shit we get lumbered with every week.

 

[FlyHigh18]

Honorable win

I’ll take considering Richmond’s near record pressure

 

[Woolly Mammoth]

This is silly. If it wasn't Brisbane last week, we probably win. If it wasn't Richmond today, we probably lose. Who cares.

The only thing that matters is your opponent on the day and whether you beat them. There are sometimes asterisks, like with Essendon 2016 and WC 2022, but the negativity here is baffling, and I'm a negativity maestro.

What exactly were people expecting from this basket case of a team? An eight goal thumping? Take it, and move onto next week

It's the whole point though, the reigning premiers hated being in 9 degree Hobart, tried to play pretty, low effort football- we have a sniff and we actually look good, Richmond at their lowest ebb since the mid 2000s show the slightest bit of fight and we melt like a chocolate fireguard. If we were absolutely hopeless across the board you wouldn't see this.

Mentality is still f*cked. Why???
