Autopsy Roast toast and changes for Gather round v Freo

[Hoos]

Alas, the game wasn’t on up here but Hipwood’s history and your nomination (along with being heckled by a member of the crowd, which would suggest a special brand of mediocrity) is good enough for me

Champion.

The heckler actually caused me to double over with laughter at least a couple of times. Particularly during the final quarter when Brisbane were kicking to the end we were sitting at. It went something like this:

Keep running Miller, it's only Eric chasing you.
Eric...ERIC!
Your man, Eric...ERIC!
You've got nothing, Eric. NOTHING!
Your man again, Eric!
Your goal, Eric! Your goal.
Eric! Eric!
Have a cry, Eric!
Uuuuuhhhhh Waaa Waaa.....Waaa Waaa...

ERIC!!!

Im With unbiased biased

Old mate Hicksy the draft expert reckons the draft is getting deep because a 2026 prospect looks good

 

[Hoos]

Good old Hicksey.

 

[LTT]

surely lynch needs consistency not another rest. Want to play every game he can.

We need to get Lynch to 100 games for the tigers. With his record there may not be a next year

 

[Grrr]

did u see the game yesterday?

I said if he needs a rest not advocating one, and yes he played well. Faulk I think is going to be very good.

 

[partycorolla]

Lynch rested? He's already had a rest.

He's an old man... keep him a bit fresh by leaving him out of the travel. Let him fire up for GC and then Dees. Probably won't but just a thought.

That’s hilarious and, while I don’t go to many games, I can’t help feeling that heckling is becoming a lost art and we laugh to this day about a game that I went to in 2007 with my (Melbourne=based) family where a (female) Collingwood fan told us, and the other Richmond supporters in the vicinity, to “have a wank over Richo” because we cheered his late in the game marks on the wing which ran time off the clock

 

[guruisatiger]

aislegi, do you concur with the egregious Eric Hipwood as the Heppell nomination from our game yesterday?

It was a masterclass in being completely invisible, even while scoring one goal. In fact, had it not been for the hilarious personal attacks on his dubious abilities from the gentleman sitting 2 rows ahead of me (with a fog horn of a voice), I wouldn't have noticed he was playing at all!

Excellent

 

[k31th]

Lucky Berry dropped this mark, but Lalor nicely crumbed and got it to Steely who finished well

 

[k31th]

Brown's kick to Banks was a beauty... Brilliant little tap out by Lalor and slick moves from Blight to swoop on it

 

[k31th]

The Taranto one-handed steal and snap goal noice

 

[k31th]

Nice hands from Trezise to quickly get it out of traffic to Campbell and Seth straightens and finishes nicely.

 

[k31th]

Slick spin move from Ross in there... also Banks finished with some wonderful precision

 

[k31th]

Smart from Ross to handball out in-front-of Steely Green's run into F50, Steely does well to get a tap to Armstrong while Wilmot is tackling him, Seth does well to get it to Lalor in Zorko's tackle and Lalor finishes well.

 

[k31th]

Two Armstrong goals within a minute


(Some slick moves from Lynch here)

 

[k31th]

A lovely front & centre by Seth Campbell, some smooth moves from Armstrong and a low-flying punt hits up Lynch for a goal

 

[k31th]

Excellent from Broad to take the spinning ball and spin through tackles... some great gut running from Banks to get into the corridor with plenty of space made for a great goal!

 

[k31th]

Slick moves from Ross to hit up the circling lead of Blight so close to goal

 

[k31th]

And some quality plays, other than those in the main set...

A Miller & a Vlastuin smother in important times

 

[k31th]

Some posters & misses from quality lead-up plays:
A very nice contested mark from Lynch here


Trainor very good kick to Seth Campbell's advantage and he has some speed to burn as he runs away from two lions would-be tacklers.


Steely crumb to Sonsie.. alas, a poster


Good play up the middle from KMac/Taranto/Lalor; shame Steely missed.


Some slick hands by both Lalor and Trezise in this play... Sonsie with the nice I50 kick to Bauer; shame he hit the post.


A risky Trainor punch towards Broad paid off... Good run from Sonsie to make two appearances; again, a shame he missed.


Nice Vlastuin kick to hit up the Bauer lead and mark right on the siren; Bauer wasn't happy with himself to have missed.

 

[k31th]

Great chase from Nank on Jaspa Fletcher to prevent a clean F50 entry kick


A couple of quality contested marks in a row; both Nank and Blight


Miller nicely gets back to spoil Answerth while going back with the flight of the ball.


Steely breaks Zorko's ankles and runs away from both Zorko and Reville, while bouncing twice

There are a lot of things i saw at the ground and a lot of it all came down to being a young side.

The one thing i am starting to HATE is how we always want to go the 5m and not on the mark. Sometimes that means we just walked the opposition an extra 20m because we didnt man the mark and just jogged backwards instead of attacking the man.

Yep, another stupid unintended product of the ridiculous stand rule.

 

[Brother Louie]

Great point short been poor for a few years only gets handball receives and then just bombs it normally to the opposition

Short’s meter gain and disposal numbers is non-impactful.
Unfortunately he simply don’t have the killer instinct or X factor to help us win.
We have options(vfl) to upgrade!

One that sticks out for me was us vs Geelong at Princes Park in 94. A Richmond supporter was giving it to Hocking all game - You're an ugly man Hocking.

He was halfway through saying it again when a stubbly bounced off his head.

The ground were playing at has no stands
