[jetbhag]

Has any team in the afl era lost by 90+ points in 3 consecutive weeks?

 

[Waca Jr]

What is Baker's injury? Thought he had a corky

 

[Hoos]

Has any team in the afl era lost by 90+ points in 3 consecutive weeks?

Yes, we will. Next week as well at the bowling alley.

 

[Coach_Required]

Has any team in the afl era lost by 90+ points in 3 consecutive weeks?

Does GWS count? They lost 5 consecutive games in a row by over 90 points in 2012.

94, 162, 119, 95, 120

LOL

 

[Rayzorwire]

Maybe so, however let’s support the kids.

Gotta say, GABBA Tigers were awesome under rough circumstances last week, proud to be among them on the night, result be buggered.

 

[_RT_]

The Verucas will be in our faces this week.

Thank God it's a home game.
WE can hide amongst fellow sufferers.

3121 always seems to get a loud mouth Bomber in there Verucing it up though.

Same with the Premiership Circle area.

 

[Lsta062]

I think we need to get Terry Wallace’s “basketball” gamestyle out of the vault again. As they say, desperate times call for desperate measures

 

[SavDog23]

Dreamtime?

Yeah nah, this is gonna be a nightmare.

 

[Football Tragic]

Hard pill to swallow this year. For years I would love to go to this game and be proud of the spectacle and buildup. This year my pride has definitely taken a hit. While I am still and always will be proud of the club, our performances are beginning to become embarrassing. I understand the reasons and position we now lavish in which armour's me to ridicule and opposition supporters mocking atm but I wonder how long this will last and when the chinks will appear.

I'll still go on Saturday night and look for the growth of the young players but it's going to still hurt when we do the unthinkable and lose the Dreamtime game and probably not just lose either.

What is Baker's injury? Thought he had a corky

There was a mix up in the removalist picking up his stuff in Melbourne and shipping it to Perth, so he had to move it back a week.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Dreamtime?

Yeah nah, this is gonna be a nightmare.

Sounds like you work for the Herald Sun.

They were loud to the end ,I could hear a roar for each goal on the TV.

 

[smasha]

I never thought I'd actually see us win a flag again until 2017.

Just enjoy.

What we achieved was phenomenal.

Dimma still loves the club going by what he said about us on AFL 360 and he still watches our games and gave full support to Adem.

After 2 weeks of being belted the surviving Richmond players will front up to the MCG this Satuday night to face a red hot Essendon in the traditional Dreamtime at the G game as part of Sir Doug Nicholls Round. The Tigers will be basically picking every available player for this game such is the injury crisis at the moment with Lefau Mansell Naismith & Bauer all joining the injury list across the weekend, while there is no guarantee that we will get anyone back with Trezise and Banks needing to clear concussion protocols, Baker to get over soreness and Grimes to recover from a back complaint. There is also an outside chance that Campbell Hopper & Graham could be available, but all 3 should be held over until at least the Adelaide game in 2 games time.

The chances of Richmond getting a win in this game are practically nil and the most that anyone can take out of this game would be some further signs of development from the kids and a bit more of an improved effort from some senior players who have been down of form the last few weeks. Outside that it's shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic at the moment as Yze tries to steer us through an unprecedented injury crisis for this club.

Predicted Line Up
Out: Lefau Mansell
In: Baker Ryan/Koschitzke

B: Brown Young Miller
HB: Vlastuin D.Rioli Broad
C: McIntosh Bolton Ralphsmith
HF: Coulthard Sonsie Cumberland
F: Balta Martin Ryan/Koschitzke
R: Nankervis Prestia Dow
INT: Baker Short Pickett McAuliffe
SUB: Green

2 forced changes with Lefau and Mansell likely to miss with Baker back in and then flip the coin to see if Ryan or Koschitzke come in as the 2nd forward and back up ruck. As I said, it's shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic at the moment as we can't make any meaningful changes until the Adelaide game at the earliest given the short 5 day break between Geelong and Adelaide for the next 2 games.

Essendon find themselves in 2nd place on the ladder with a 7-1-2 record but their record is a little deceiving as they are 1-1-2 against the top 8 and 6-0 against the bottom 8 sides. So if they are to be considered a serious contender this year, they should account for us by 10 goals at minimum, anything less than that would be a win for us in our current situation.

What's going to be insufferable on Saturday night is their arrogant fans will be out in force talking themselves up before during & after the game, would be a nice time to remind them that it'll be over 7200 days since they last won a final when we play this game.

Going to be tough for Yze and the flag faves

Has Kmac1 retained his spot?
Liam Baker a certainty
Dylan Grimes? seems out of favour no place for him really
Is Sam Banks ahead of Kmac?
James Trezise ? probably not
Seth Campbell for Coulthard

A fave under 3 coaches Jack Graham for Sonsie?

 

[Hoos]

Has Kmac1 retained his spot?

God, I hope not.

Liam Baker a certainty

If he hasn't already moved to Perth.

Dylan Grimes? seems out of favour no place for him really

Which almost guarantees him a spot.

Is Sam Banks ahead of Kmac?

Yes, but isn't he still injured?

James Trezise ? probably not

Coming back from injury.

Seth Campbell for Coulthard

I'd keep Coulthard in for another couple of games.

A fave under 3 coaches Jack Graham for Sonsie?

I hope not. Graham just makes us slower. Plus he'll do his hammy again.

[richo's dodgy hammy]

Shane edwards is the homecoming hero for round 11!

Might get a game the way the injury list is going.

 

[Groupie_]

Shane edwards is the homecoming hero for round 11!

and louie jetta for essedon

 

[Black Saab]

No matter what the scores are, if we get more frees, I’m calling it a win.

We haven't had more than 12 frees paid to is in a game since Round 4.

 

[tugga]

Can we get Cotchin and JR8 in the midseason draft?

 

[Black Saab]

Has any team in the afl era lost by 90+ points in 3 consecutive weeks?

Yeah, Brisbane... when they were Fitzroy

Don't get up, I'll throw myself out...

 

[Groupie_]

Can we get Cotchin and JR8 in the midseason draft?

no they got sick from eating too much red meat

 

[fargothegreat]

Jeez we've missed Bakes. I hope we see an increase in competitiveness with him back in the side.

 

[Al Heimer]

Just watched the replay and honestly we need to drop Martin to the VFL. Not rested, not managed, dropped. I know it sounds unthinkable but it's the message all players will get that's important.. He was ordinary and it was 100% effort based. If not Martin then Bolton or Nank. Draw a line in the sand Adem. No player is immune.. After watching again Brown certainly has to return to the VFL and work on intensity.

It does sound unthinkable because any sane Richmond supporter who cares about our club, its traditions and history would not think to do so.

Can we get Cotchin and JR8 in the midseason draft?

Jack would be a great mentor

Is Cotch still working at Bris?
