Mega Thread Richmond Vs. GCS - Matchday Discussion

[Tiger67]

Not a good day at all
$50 on GC at $9.60 to win over 15.5
Sums the day up really.
At least i got my tip right
We were never going to win today
Not even a chance.
For those paying out lets just deal in a bit of reality
CALM DOWN.
Its not like it has dented our premiership aspirations

Can anyone tell me who the armbands were for?

Allan Jeans

 

[SSSSSS]

Same problem with last week and that was a lack of a ruckman. Dunno why Browne was subbed off? Was one of the few that could actually compete.

 

[Holy Foley!]

I'm sorry but the "we're developing" argument doesn't wash anymore. There is no team more "developing" than GCS, and yet we still lose, so what's the reason? Football is played between the ears, and right now, there's nothing there.

Good luck Richmond for the rest of the season, because I'm going to live under a rock until we play football the "right way"

 

[guruisatiger]

how many times can you hit your head against a brick wall befor you realise it hurts ????

 

[sante]

**** THIS SHIT!!!!!

I definitely haven't got ahead of myself with where we are at this year, but we have just fallen away completely. We have gone backwards since beating Essendon.

 

[Ben_Tiger]

Oh yeah we're developing. But every other club develops faster, and we're constantly left behind outside the top 8. Sometimes I can see the improvement, but all the clubs are improving and we're just not doing enough. At the end of the day we're still at the back of the pack and i'm sick of it

 

[Gentlemen]

Oh lookee here, Geelong next week.

 

[the ranger]

Can anyone tell me who the armbands were for?

RFC

 

[peejay]

Thanks for the support Peejay, the oracle here keeps on telling me that we are a young developing side and should expect these losses.

Other people believe that there is such a thing as an ACCETABLE loss,

mate - it is a quarter to 3 over here, I have been here for 3 months and come back in a month, which means i will see 6 games this year.

I am platinum member, kicked an S load into the FTF and also joined the social club when i knew i would not use it.

My loyality is running thin. Seriously rethinking next year's finnancial commitment.

 

[peterbuch74]

We need a ruckman.

Honestly, a ruckman wasn't what was needed today.

We had so much of the ball and did diddly squat with it. A ruckman isn't going to stop players dropping simple marks, stuff up simple handballs, hit up targets on a lead, and sorry Jack... isn't going to make your full forward chase his opponent when he runs easily out of defence.

 

[delediofan3]

jesus. no more FTF money from me, they should start giving money to us. just want to rip out the number 3 off my guernsey.

 

[dwwaino]

Still listening to SEN. It's actually reassuring listening to them put the boot into the Tigers and listening to irate fans ring in. Makes me feel like I'm not the only one boiling over right now.

 

[sante]

So glad I'm going to the Geelong game next week.

Can't believe I put in towards the FTF.

 

[PHX]

Oh lookee here, Geelong next week.

Oh **** it.

 

[NQTIGER]

Presser

TS dimma how do you feel about today
DH That wasnt us today, we are a young develoing side and you have ups and downs
TS but waht about the last twoo weeks,

DH we are adding this game to the dont watch pile, a few of our players are down

TS What are you going to do to turn this around

DH buy the kids an icecream and start coaching from the boundary

 

[sante]

I want RT73 to explain how we have improved?

 

[dwwaino]

"they were so dumb..." - David Schwarze

I like those words.

 

[maceman]

Well done to the GC. They are a team with more upside and will be well ahead of Richmond in development next year. We will continue to languish at the bottom. No heart, no guts, no interest.

When Hardwick was appointed I thought - great! Here's a bloke who played hard, tough footy and never compromised. We've seen zero toughness and absolutely nothing from this side.

A young developing side will have speedbumps along the way. This mantra is fed us week in week out and to a certain degree, this is true. To never have a fukken crack is not a developing side! Welcome to years of continued mediocrity.

 

[_RT_]

So what about now?

Are you disappointed?

Disappointed yes, embarrassed no. The fact of the matter is we're not that good and yet people just expected us to rock up today and win, then when we lose they can't understand why.

 

[Jimmy6019]

GET MALTHOUSE TO RICHMOND NEXT YEAR I DONT CARE WHAT IT TAKES!!!!! If Malthouse can't turn this club around NO-ONE CAN!!!! If he can't do it we might as well lock the doors at Punt Road and walk away...

 

[Tiger67]

So glad I'm going to the Geelong game next week.

Can't believe I put in towards the FTF.

As much as our performace hurts I would still rather a shocking Richmond than any other side.
For that reason I have no issue with any contributions I made to the FTF.

 

[rideclutch]

I seriously cringe every time Daniel Jackson gets the ball, because he gets caught holding it so freaking much.

Story of last week, not making the most of our oppurtunities. Dunno why Jack is playing if he's not right, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Also Tony "Gold Coast" Shaw may be a ****wit, but he got one thing right. No penetration with the Inside 50's into the wind. We missed so many shots from around 50 that should have been taken much closer.

 

[maceman]

I want RT73 to explain how we have improved?

Agree. There has been no improvement on last year, in fact, I'd say we've gone backwards. It's really bloody sad.

 

[krisholio14]

And Shane Tuck can't get a game in this side?

You could also do worse than play someone with a bit of go in em like Ben Nason.
