Analysis Emotionally checked out (extended 2017 edition)

[TigerImposter]

2 fremantle blokes on the left hand side of the square and no one on the right hand side, no wonder once they won the tap there was a paddock to run into, should have had blokes everywhere clogging up space.

Agree there. We made about six basic errors in our set up for that bounce.

 

[This Is Anfield]

I genuinely admire your enthusiasm mate. Sincerely

Been supporting Richmond for 50 years and Liverpool for 60.
WTF else am I gonna do?

 

[Noseybonk]

Im not gonna watch the game Saturday. Not gonna listen to it on the radio either. Not even gonna check the scores on my phone.

Gonna prune the roses. #ECO

It isn't hard, is it?

4.35 start. Just when I get home from work, a few beers and the Mighty Tiges...


...and a book or a movie on standby!

I couldn't ******* believe seriously, my mate text me and told me there was 21 secs left and i thought we should be fine lol i really should know better.

It isn't hard, is it?

apparently it is, the gold coast game, the collingwood game when we s**t the bed and now this one.

I'm sure there are others I have selectively tried to forget as well

 

[SnakeMan86]

Being a realist after the first 5 rounds and being an avid #ECO makes the loss on Saturday easier to take. Your just not surprised, you just shrug your shoulders and go "Yep, thats Richmond" and move on.

This is the final bounce set up. Look at Rioli all alone on the wing(he's a kid ,but in u9 the kids are told how to set up)

Centre square match-ups:
Nankervis - Sandilands
Cotchin - Blakely
Grigg - Fyfe
Dusty - Neale

This is a perfect summation of the last 20s

That image will legit haunt me for days. This is up there with carlton and norf elimination final losses. Knowing us and how the boys are we will crumble from this loss crash out of the 8

Those elimination finals after being in front... its the cocktease games that kill us the most. this club is just one giant cocktease

On the bright side.
Our two first round picks have suddenly gone from, say, 12 and 16 to 7 and 12.

Our club should get a job in the Mens Gallery

 

[WATiger86]

Still #ECI, but lose to giants and then norf and i'll be checking out to save myself the angst!

 

[Helen Wheels]

Sounds like the microwave ovens are going to get a workout.
That's what other clubs are going to call us if we keep melting after losses ... "The Microwaves" or "The Chickenshits".

That is the thing. I am not melting, I am accepting that this is what we are. That is #eco

I accept you are the polar opposite and respect that

Not me, Helen.
Just the soft utensil #eco's that give up when the going gets tough...

 

[Noseybonk]

#ECO is nirvana total bliss.

At least in mens gallery you can touch somewhat, thats equivalent to a finals win. We are one of those clubs where they tell you to put your hands on the sides of the chair at all times

Richmond is why i can never feel bad about supporting successful teams in other sports

 

[U2tigers]

Yesterdays loss didn't hit me that hard at all really. After the 3rd quarter effort, we didn't deserve to win anyway. Don't get me wrong I would ave been ecstatic if we did pull it off, but us losing like that just numbed me a bit.

LOL, it was the Richmond way.

Anyway I will be #ECO until Dimma is gone where I can then #ECI with some hope for the future.

 

[TigerImposter]

#eco is not about analysis of the last 21 seconds TI

I know ,but I can recall seeing visions of this in a Karmichael game years ago ,plus another Mayne moment as well as the Pies game last year.
It's all part of the long winded process of becoming #ECO .

yeah if only Manchester united was still good
id follow real madrid in another league, but it just wont feel the same

Looking forward to flying over to Sydney on Friday night. Cruise with tugga up the Parramatta River, past the GWS campus at Birkenhead Point, to Spotless on Saturday.

We'll take in the sights. Have a couple of Reschs. Wax lyrical about Sydney property prices. Quote Midnight Oil lyrics as we pass Goat Island. And perhaps watch some footy.

Then return train via Lidcombe to Central. Some dodgy Chinese in Chinatown, then travel home to our respective states/country to do it all again at Dreamtime the next week.

Haere Ra
