Hawks losing by 18. nek minnut free kicks 9-3 hawks way now they infront

But only WC gets free kicks

 

[Avalor]

Free, Hawthorn. Rinse and repeat.

 

[Quinz]

Gee, amazing how Gibson gets exposed more often when he has to one on one defend.

Our coaching against Hawthorn was pathetic.

 

[Wcefan92]

100% agree we need to reconsider our tactics against the Hawks. Other teams seem to be way more competitive than us albeit tonight they are missing a couple of players. Also, Tyrone Vickery is such an average player! Despite kicking a couple of goals

I was about to say how useless he was - he was 96% TOG and had one disposal... nek minut... 2 goals

At the G for Friday Night Footy for the first time. All the talk and criticism of crowds at Subi is so hilariously off base. The crowd here is literally the exact same, cheering and booing everything for their team - the only difference is the even split of fans for both teams. On an individual level, the fans here are literally the exact same, only difference is we have a much larger split of home support compared to Vic clubs.

I'm in the members and it's still evident ffs, not even allowed a drink in here.

 

[WCEswift]

not even allowed a drink in here.

What do you do then

Not true. Have the stats in front of me. Richmond fans have 5 less teeth than the average WC supporter.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

What do you do then

You just sit and begrudgingly watch Richmond and Hawthorn, it's awful. Nobody has been thrown out so far, and I'm pretty sure I've only heard one person being racially vilified, it's like being at church for **** sake.

 

[Wcefan92]

For mine the Tigers still look incredibly average but the more teams that can steal a win against the Hawks the better! It just makes it even more frustrating when you reflect on how easily hawthorn walk all over us

 

[ep2018]

We lost by 50 to this team

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Richmond are Hawks bogey team. Mitchell/Hodge/Cotchin were huge outs for the Hawks.

 

[turtleWC]

We lost by 50 to this team

I know, Hawthorn did a real number on us when they beat us in the grand final

 

[Carbine Chaos]

We lost by 50 to this team

Simpson's tactics (or lack thereof) that day were mindnumbing.

 

[avishka5]

we would beat the hawks now. hawks have gone down heaps in the last 3 games.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

we would beat the hawks now.

Doubtful. We are the kings of mental weakness at times (goalkicking, playing away, playing Hawks).

(Would beat them at home, away? Not convinced)

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Do Richmond not have any young, developing ruckmen?

Hampson can't be the best they have.

 

[Quinz]

We lost by 50 to this team

Tigers always beat Hawks.

 

[EagleShore]

I reckon they will get it done. Mitchell and Hodge out is big plus their record against the hawks is good

Mitchell out after actually being tackled by an opponent. Thought Coniglio's game against him was very good. Wish one of our bloke's tackled him into the ground...ONCE at least. Loved seeing it but sad it had to be from a WA guy not in the wings

How did we lose so badly to this Hawks outfit when Richmond are keeping up with them without some of their best players?

 

[Biggie]

Would be nice if we faced the Hawks without Mitchell.

But I'm sure we'd let someone else run riot.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Richmond will always play well when the pressure's off. There was no expectation whatsoever that they'd win today or even come close, so they've of course turned up a little

Our losses to the Hawks are frustrating for sure but a trash, bruise free team taking it up to them when the pressure's off doesn't impact it.

 

[mick06]

Simpson's tactics (or lack thereof) that day were mindnumbing.

That line.

'We needed an extra at the contest'...

Drives me insane

 

[ep2018]

Wow that was as obvious 50 as you could get

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Nah he played for it.

 

[ChampRevesby]

I just love it when Richmond think they are a chance then choke.
