This is the best word to describe our team at this stage of the game.....(10 mins into 3rd qtr.) How can we possibly be in this position AGAIN after such a good start and the majority of the play.....?? Richmond have not won a game all year!! Why cant we play well at the MCG? Our club is just treading water......

we defeintly need to improve on our kicking 12.20 is not acceptable, a lot easy shots that we missed we shouldm be kicking 20.12 not 12.20.
Agree!!! Houli missed to set shots in a row, Lucas missed a few set shots. We are very lucky we werent playing a descent side! We wouldnt have been just 22 points down in the 3rd quarter!

Still a VERY ling way to go......kicking was terrible again!!
I agree. If we had to play that hard to win against the bottom team...we have a snowflake's chance in hell of making any impact in the immediate future. Our disposal is still quite slow for a team that has injected some pace in the middle. Take Davey and Winders out of our side...back to the one paced side we've come to display against our opposition. With only two players to return to make up our best 22 at the moment....we would be hoping to have the same 20 take to the field to be competitive enough to overshadow our deficiencies. Still not good enough.

F u c k that how about we get rid of Mark Johnson ( no discipline), Cole and Campo.
Bring in Nash, Lonergan and Hislop. And when Gumbleton and Jetta are right bring them in too.
i really hate how people get so focused on youth.... imo we would be lucky if one of those players would be able to keep up with the game at AFL level... mark johnson is fine his doing his thing, still not back to his best form but hasnt been bad in the past two or three weeks. cole tries hard does some good things, i think the only 2 outs owuld be dyson and campo. welsh will come back and bolton will come in to play on goodes. dont get too focused on youth, we can make the finals this year lets focus on making the finals and not tank.. the kids dont have experience and wont keep up with AFL level. bring in one or two more over the course of the season and thats it.

Agree!!! Mark Johnson is finished unfortunately. The speed of the game has passed him by as well as Jason Johnson. JJ can definately get the ball and use it but he would be better placed in the forward line half forward, forward pocket. His midfield days are gone. He isnt accountable for his direct opponent which makes him and campo look very slow! Richard Cole was a wrong pick up for us i believe. Gumbleton could be another tall forward or defender and Leroy well just play him regardless if he has a bad game, just get the ball and run Leroy!
