OK all you optimists...

[Mario Speedwagon]

like sante , tigertroy etc....put a positive spin on that bullshit.....tell us how we're improving... better than last year..why Wallace should see out his contract...how over the hill hacks like Tivendale deserve to be rewarded for VFL performances ....c'mon all you shiny happy people... I and I'm sure all the other "negative nelly's who hate the club" could do with some comedy relief right now...

 

[osakabull]

Im with you.I got bagged relentlessly when i started posting here but turns out i was right along with all the other people that held the same views.Nothing has changed this year.The team doesnt click together and too many hacks.One huge positive though is Cotchin will be a superstar.

It's a pity the poor kid will get ruined at tigerland. I guess we'll hold on to him for a couple of years then he'll go to a winning club.

Very dissappointing result but if you read the last thread I posted and you called me knob for writing it said , we need to play McGuane up forward and I could see no value in Wallace dropping players like Tivendale , Petifer and Bowden back to Coburg only to see them dominate down there promoted again and then they serve up the same poo in seniors that got them dropped the last time. Its a vicious cycle Mario.

Surely Tivendale has joined Hyde in the never to play for our club again crew. That was seriously embarassing for him today. I can't see how the coaching staff thought he could actually contribute at all this year.

 

[JSFish]

Mmmmmm same amount of points as at the end of last year, only halfway through the season. No improvement whatsoever.

 

[smasha]

It's easy to be negative lads.

I didn't want Tivva in there so leave me outta that one.

 

[TigerGlory]

Problem is, the positive spinners probably believe the same thing as you do regarding Tivendale, Pettifer, McMahon, Schulz etc. None of us want them playing, but theres nothing we can do about it.

The difference is, we stand up for the club when you guys have a crack. You serve up the same shit after every loss. Seriously, its due after games like this, but not when we lose against Geelong being competitive and such.

Threads that some of you idiots post here call for some positive people here. If Richmond dont win 22 games a year then you bastards call for somebodys head.

However, im with you after todays performance. Terrible again from the same terribles. Tivendale, McMahon, Schulz and Pettifer the "Fked Four"

The darksiders usually watch from the lounge room too.

 

[smasha]

If we were positive,we would have 40 plus thousand members turning up and roaring hard(no,not sitting up in the stands like Marcel Marceau or yelling at the screen while sipping a beer at home)roaring the team home and give them a massive lift.


Nah ,we have to make things complicated.

Great post , I still believe we have alot of positives to come this year but surely Terry knows know who can and can't play by now is he slow or something.

Pub actually. But Im sure we see the same bullshit.

 

[cormick]

whats with all the negativity about Schulz?
I thought he was one of our better players today, with 24 or so possies...

But of course, I am, after all, "one of those optimists" who can never been right when Richmond lose a game, cos we havent improved one iota from last year .

Really?!?! Awesome...and against such current powerhouses of the comp. to! Yeah at this rate we'll be there in September ....2027....

If we actually keep doubling our wins, in 2 years time we will win 24 games, so...2010...GF!!!

How good would that be

Oh yes the television not only adds 10 pounds to everyone..it makes teams look 10 goals worse.
Yeah , sorry I'll buy a share in an airline with my vast wealth or just move my loungeroom from Sydney to the Punt Road end , shall I , will that make my opinion more valid , snookums?

I think that hes saying those that go to the game have more validity to whinge, as they are the ones there "in the outter", getting the whole picture and not just slow motion replays that make things look 100 times better or worse, but I could be wrong...
(Not necessarily my opinion, btw)

See, there's the thing. Pessimists like you who can't possibly see anything positive can't fathom that last year we couldn't beat anybody, and we were the worst team in the comp. Suddenly this year we've beaten three teams (and drawn with a top 3 team), and we are pathetic for not beating top 8 teams. Most people would say we are better than 4 teams this year, and of those we have already beaten all 3 that we have played. As much as it pains you, just accept that we are improving.

Btw, I'd suggest next time you try 'and against such current powerhouses of the comp too!', as opposed to 'of the comp. to!'. Because you aren't. actually meant. to put random full. stops in the middle of. sentences.

So we are the Hare in the Rabbit race?


Oh Joy!

 

[JSFish]

Because this is obviously the last year the AFL exists. If we don't win the flag this year, we never will.

For ____s sake, maybe consider that we have improved this year, we will improve again next year, and the year after. I know how painful it must be for you to think we could possibly actually be getting better mate, but just try.

Yeah while we improve at our 'Hare Rate' other teams improve at the Rabbit rate.

We're improving sure, but so are Hawthorn

Where did you honestly expect us to come this year TDM?

 

[cormick]

Where did you honestly expect us to come this year TDM?

First, of course...otherwise we should sack Wallace, Johnson, Schulz, Tambling, Thursfield, Coughlan, Richo, Brown and Simmonds, because they all wont be around for our next premiership, so they're useless.

 

[The Dice Man]

Where did you honestly expect us to come this year TDM?

6-10th. I was prepared to write of the Sydney game as long as we didnt screw up against the Crows.

We kicked 6 goals in a row at one stage and went down by 50 with players like Tivendale, King(as much as I love his attack, he is just too un-disciplined... hello Tim Fleming).

I believe Pettifer offered somethng but sheesh... (1)Can you honestly say you're happy with the development of our players?

(2)Are the opinions of Bulldog supporters beginning to have merit?

Nice try with the grammar police routine..a sure sign of a failing argument when you rely on that shit...In the words of William Shatner "comp."short. for. "competition".full stop.valid.you.... fail.

As for your other point...we won 3 1/2 games in half a season last year too...the second half if I recall...and answer me this...have any of this years' performances so far against quality opposition been on a par with last year's victory over Collingwood?
