On Riewoldt...

[LordJimmy]

Such a champion, isn't he?

Really delivered on the biggest stage of all. Presented a great option all day. Marked it every time it was laced out directly for him. Clearly was in the zone.

I swear, I'll be blasted again by a bunch of drooling morons whose first conclusion is to deny that I'm a real fan, but at the end of the day, our champion tall didn't do any champion tall bullshit, did he? And we lost.

Because of him.

You'll whinge and cry that I am not a true fan, or know nothing about the game, but when the game was in balance, we searched for Riewoldt again and again, and this was supposed to be his time to deliver. He failed. Again and again.

I was right. And it doesn't make me happy. I was begging to be wrong.

Oh, and don't blame Milne. At least he could find the ball.

I'd be keeping out of pubs tonight with a mouth like that...

 

[buddymania]

Think ur being a bit rough mate.

 

[Lebneni]

What? You can't blame Roo, it was a terrible day for big forwards and he was the sole focus in their 50 , Cats triple teamed him. When he was one-on-one he usually won

Look its not my place since its your forum but poor form blaming your inspirational captain. He did all he could and more, ALL YEAR not just in one game.

And I would blame Milne. He had a patch where he missed a absolute sitter on the run by trying to do something flashy, then missed a set shot, then gave away a 50. Other then that he did nothing.

 

[Spikey]

Oh, and don't blame Milne. At least he could find the ball.

Was hardly a good thing that.

 

[Jatz]

milne screwed up at least 2 goals and seen as you only lost by two goals i reckon you could blame milne

 

[StFly]

It is not a true representation of what the man accomplished, he had 3 defenders rotating off and on him in Taylor, Mackie and Harley and contested situation in the F50 he generally had Scarlett peeling off Kosi as well, even champions have their limits before they can do no more. And yet, he generally always brought it to ground.

His failing that the free men were not in dangerous positions?
His failing that the delivery was rushed and high?
His failing that Geelong rotated defenders so he always had a fresh opponent?

He did his job as a key forward on a wet day, the failing came from the impact of others not doing their job.

 

[Dogma84]

Mate...you wouldnt have been in the GF if it wasnt for him, i would be blaming Milne, Schneider, Ray(no surprise), Dawson...for starters

 

[Brent24]

Wow, I'm not a Saints fan and I'm outraged at this. NOT A TRUE FAN!

 

[1980GFVideo]

The attention he was recieving should have opened the door for another marking forward.

He was a win by just being out there and requiring to be matched up the way he was.

He is a superstar. From the outside looks to be a captain who has an attitude that has got you to where you are today.

 

[LordJimmy]

Would have rathered not to be in the Grand Final if I knew that was coming.
What's the deal? Gets us there and then decides to do nothing right when it actually matters.
Idiot.

 

[Papa Juggs]

I blame Schnieder.

He was the man they passed it to. He was the one they trusted.

He shanked one too many. Won a flag before and no hunger. Send him back to the Swans.

 

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

I think you're living in bizarro land... Riewoldt was outnumbered all day...

Milne was the biggest blunder in your side, bar none.

yeah, and was like , soooo composed with his usual awareness when he got it...get a grip fool...riewoldt was three teamed, was time for Milne to stand up and make the most of his chances not bugger them all up

 

[007Tigers]

Wow, I'm not a Saints fan and I'm outraged at this. NOT A TRUE FAN!

totally agree, he was double and triple teamed all day, he always gave a contest and always let the ball go to ground, the ppl like milne should have done more

 

[Armwarmer]

our small forwards cost us the game. they had tonnes of opportunities and failed to capitalize.

blaming riewoldt in such a wet game where he was triple manned all day is nothing short of moronic.

 

[swaneagle24]

I blame Schnieder.

No thanks, send him to the EPL!

 

[Wokko]

Personally hate the Saints, happy as a pig in sh**, but this is pathetic. He presented all day while being triple teamed on a wet day. You should go and support the tigers.

 

[AndrewJo]

Good to see that you sign your post......I reckon all football supporters would agree with your name that you sign...

Wow that settles it. We're dealing with an imbecile.
If that's your attitude your team will be all the better if you decided to hang it up and stopped "supporting" them,

what a piss weak attitude

Yeah because Richo is hated by Richmond supporters. Didnt Travis Cloke get bronx cheers early this season?

 

[exit]

If you don't want him, we'll have him. Did you really expect him to tear it up and win it single-handedly on a day like today? Did all he could. Idiot.

 

[underthestars]

LordJimmy - how you love to bag nick - he's a champion, and we should have capitalised on all the balls coming to ground from his contests.
Those second quarter points cost us,along with geelong's greater desire at the end.
You really need to take a look at yourself, you're a petty little fool that likes to grandstand by kicking someone bigger than yourself from behind the safety of your keyboard.

 

[Lazarus]

I don't get it. It wasn't for Riewoldt you wouldn't have been there at all. He was double and triple teamed all day on a wet day.

 

[Dthomasisalegend]

yeah your right...what a huge failure he is...what a uninspiring leader...it's his job to carry the team.... and his responsibility if they lose. St.kilda should demote him to the rookie list for that shocking performance.
