1/4 time

42 to 10

Campbell was excellent in a pretty woeful performance. Still glad to see them moving the ball fast, which even though we're losing, it's ok to watch at least.

we cant afford to have the wooden spoon. We will lose 3 or four million and could lose the club.

We can't keep a hack of a coach because it makes us feel warm and fuzzy.

Win or Loss, Spud can not communicate to players, and makes very lame coaching mistakes. Brittain should be given at least half a season to prove himself (why did you think he chose richmond? I think this was his plan all along).

2 games won in the last 17? My Tigers tie which I wear to work after victories is covered in dust and moth-eaten.

This is about club survival not warm fuzzy coaches.

If we could kick straight we would be in this one. Bloody cats have 11-1. We can't get rid of spud till the end of the year we all know that. If we get rid of spud wave bye bye to the next 4 years as we would have sweet **** all chance of getting a good coach. We have to deal with this **** for another 17 rounds.

on 882 here in perth Wallace is commentator and is very agitated by the way Richmond are playing, half time he gave frawley a spray and also commentated on what he would do.

We should get brownie to talk to wallace once spud is gone, wallace knows more about what Richmond should be doing in 60 mins of football that what danny knows after 4 years.

Unless he walks. The season is over now, we don't even have to wait for the mathematical possibilities, why not take a holiday.

Let Nathan Brown take over as captain coach - just to make sure none of the current asssitants get any ideas of continuing.

Then in December, wind up the club. OK, I'm getting very depressed now. I'll stop typing.

This is our second best game of the season so far - why? Because all our kids are in the best players: Krak, Roach, Hartigan.

That is our future and is something to look forward to. I don't think winding up the club is an option - but i know how you feel.

Shame is left to young kids to be enthusiastic with the "finger" sitting on the bench who should be out there leading the way.

Go kids

We cant afford not too.

We have a team that is second rate and i dont see any other way that we can redevelop the team that has only a half decent list without taking more pain........but pain in the longterm will give us more hope and optimism than we're currently experiencing.

Surely the vast majority of supporters would except a few more years of suffering if they could see that our only way up is from rock bottom......after all it reflects where we are anyway.

I do agree - plus at least they are sort of trying to play direct - maybe not very well yet but better to see an attempt at least.

You know, us supporters are bagged for wanting to get rid of Spud.

Here's a respected coach coming out and sayign the same thing.

RFC, the ball is in your court.

Get rid of him before it is too late for not only this year, but the future of our club.

he said during the half time break he would get them all to sit like you would in a classroom facing the front, would ask Hartigan to stand out at the Front then he would look every senior player in the eye and say we would go alright if you guys played the way this kid plays. He is hard at it and plays the lines

He also mentioned that why Frawley persists with Gaspar as CHF when he is clearly not upto it, he said it does nothing but ruins their confidence even further.

He said our team is playing without confidence, and was absolutely amazed they played the way they are. He said the older players are **** scared to make a mistake and its a real sad site to see because they have a talented list.

He said he understood that spud needed to try something new but to continue playing a player or players in a position where they are getting belted does nothing for them and does nothing for team confidence.

There was also an amusing part in the second quarter when one of Wallace's fellow commentators, opened up the window and yelled out " Frawley can you hear us?? can you hear us at all?"

Thanks for that Coach - I'm listening to Clinton Grybas at the moment, and no words of wisdom like that coming out of his mouth.

Might turn on the radio :)

He also mentioned a little bit about coughlan and Johnson, and said although they were probably our best 2 midfielders, he believed that they dont play the telstra dome to the best of their abilities, he mention something about the surface and that both kane and mark were similar type players who havent fully adjusted to how they should play at the dome.

he mention tivendale tends to play the dome well and the harder ground suits a player like tivendale.

now i dont know what terry was trying to say there, but I get the feeling he had an idea on how the 2 midfielders should play it but havent been told how to get the best out of themselves on this ground compared to the G.

Foxtel said they were going to cover both press conferences - keep the TV on for the resignation speech.
