Roast Supporters after a loss

[theflea]

Where did you want him? As JR started a few centre bounces on the wing, came up the ground to the hbf at times and tried to get to as many contests as he could inside F50. He's a 2 time Coleman medalist, he should be at full-forward ffs. Our forwards weren't taking marks because of the way the ball was coming in.... We got it in there plenty of times but in a terrible manner. It wasn't going in the way the coaches instructed. DH said that they had spent all week practicing lowering the eyes when going forward. Then Norf's pressure was very very good around the ball carrier and we all saw the result.

Whenever we get hammered like this the 1 obvious area we fail at is GETTING THE BALL. Our contested numbers go south which means we cant attack or defend at all because we get simply cant control the ball and the play. It wouldn't matter if we swap the magnetic board because if you cant get the pill it wont work. Have a look at all games thru out the last 2 years and we get smashed in the clinches. When we halve or win the contest we do well. We had multiple players behind the ball yet they couldn't have any effect as they controlled the play and the ball with cp's and run and carry so just making positional changes(which didn't work) simply isn't the panacea fans think will work.

Agree we struggled to actually get the pill.... but weren't our clearance stats and the like ok? I can't remember now. All I remember was that we were 44 possies down at qtr time, 90 down during the 2nd and had it back to 76 behind at half time. So clearly their spread was very very good....

But it'll be good to have Tuck back at the coalface.... I liked Arnot's pressure too from the week before, maybe Vlas/Kingy will miss out...

I love my tigers and will support them win or lose and we are on the rise slowly but surely, I'm guessing 2 years we will be the real deal provided we continue on the path that we are on... But it is disappointing to see that our so called leaders of the club seem to go in there shell when the pressure is on. We have beaten the shit sides as expected, but when the heat is on with a side that puts up a fight what happens? Yeah you can do all the training physically and get yourself at peak but we lack good old fashioned heart and determination. I guess that will come with maturity, or just for the love of your country, I mean club. I would love to see Richmond be the Australian cricket team from the early 2000 of the afl and just know how to win from any situation and be feared. Go tiges loving your work Damo

Great first post mate. Welcome aboard.

Spot on Cogga. If I have to hear Hardwick say once more that the players failed to follow instructions, I'll puke!. It's his job to do something when the game plan is failing. We could all see early in the game that North were setup to blow our game plan out the door and that if we didn't adjust we'd get a hiding. As you said Dimma did very little. Forward structure remained the same and we over committed forward all day and were hit on the rebound. Sad tactics indeed.

HELLO Harwick "When your plan doesn't work...Have a F%^king backup plan". The coaches performance was far worse than the players.

dimma has to take responsibility but every time I bring that up I get stones thrown at me by nuff nuffs who say he needs time etc. memo dimma everyone needs to take responsibility. saying we hd a bad 2nd qtr is a cop out. get real. get angry. get into the boys and if not get out.

Apparently he did during and after the game via MMM.

it was really interesting during he's Dimmas dissection when he stated my time at the club and looked away from the camera hmmm... however he has done a lot of good things for our club and choco I got mad love for him. I can't help but feel that Richmond's old stigma is still haunting us we need to keep fighting and believing to Shake it . That's why we smash teams like the blues and then give them an opportunity to come back, most of our biggest rivals Victorian clubs have had the wood on us for years so when we are on top and on the verge of winning it's unfamiliar territory... Self belief boyz show us that cockiness on field like you have during rumble in the jungle

What we see on the screens and what happens behind closed doors is chalk and cheese.
Trust me, he went bananas.

Yep, a very disappointing effort.

Thanks mate. I have part one of my manifesto on Mick Malthouse, Collingwood and Richmond to post, but I think I need 25 replies first before I can post.
