The Vent Thread - Richmond only

[Tiger_man322]

So what exactly are you trying to say? That we are shit and have been shit for a fair while?

Does that really warrant it's own thread.

Trying to say that RFC keep seriving up empty promises to it's supporters. It's about time we said 'enough's enough.' Just deliver on field. That's all we want.

 

[avengers]

Asking us this year to give 110% what a bunch of **** wits!

 

[TigerImposter]

How many of us saw this coming? 2-6, losses to Bulldogs, Melbourne, GC. Not even near it with the top 8 sides and still over 15 rounds to play.

Hands up. I didn't. The amount of bullshit spewed over the off-season. The bullshit media on the website and bullshit song written about how we are 'Coming home.' After one good year, in over 10. We think 'this is it, this is the change.'

Nope.

Same Ol' ******* Richmond.

We are so used to failing, it's in our DNA now. the RFC are so used to serving up bullshit to it's members and supporters, and time and time again we, as members and supporters eat it up and believe it.

"A good season every decade is good enough for us."

MA =MEDIOCRITY ANONYMOUS It's Our rehabilitation club after Richmond

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Finding it very hard to support the club i love after todays effort.
ATM feels like the straw that finally broke the camels back

SOFT.

That's what the RFC is. Has been for such a long time. Every critical game, be it round one, our elimination final, 100th year match with Hawthorn stripes, this match.... The list goes on. Every vital game we lose.

Today, a couple of Tiger supporters are whinging about the umpires, etc. I mean, can't you see the greater problem? We're utter shit.

Anyway, I can't believe what we've got. Chaplains first quarter was absolutely pathetic. He lost every contest.

Hampson is the biggest waste of a second round draft pick. I'd rather Orren playing. Hampson is a joke.

We're so soft, we've drafted the wrong type of players and as a result, we've missed a couple of years of draft picks... yet again.

Dimma's gone, but at the end of the day, the players are playing with no passion regardless of the coach.

Blame the compromised draft is the go.Jump on buddy

 

[rfctigerarmy]

**** the compromised draft. The AFL is a rigged competition anyway.

We recruit young players each year, we give ourselves a chance of having sustained success or being around the mark.

Too many rejects from other clubs in a sense that we try and build a club around them.

 

[Spagman]

SOFT.

Yep, every team tackles harder than us, looks faster, looks bigger.

 

[rfctiger90]

Feel bad for Dimma. Not sure why the boys are playing like this. They look like they don't want to be out there. I will tip now we'll bounce back next season, but this one is a write off.

We have only won one 80k+ attended game under Dimma and now today's effort

We always lose when the heat is on

 

[Kick it 2 Royce]

Well I'm well and truly cooked, this club has finally broken me, to not be able to get the job done against melbourne to honour one of the greatest legends in tommy hafey is an absolute disgrace ! we the members deserve better we have saved , bailed out, propped up this club for the last 30 years . there are no excuses now, we have new a training ground new gym all the new equipment and what are we served up a massive load of tripe . we are an embarrassment to the league and ourselves . I have been a member for 25 years and a social / Maurice rioli club member for the last 10 years . but as much as it pains me I will not give another cent to this meek, soft, and pitiful club !!!!! Time for the players and coaching staff and administration to give 110%, for us members have on numerous occasions . And I have had a gutfull will not attend another game until I see genuine heart and pride in the jumper , which on today's effort appears a long way off . STICK THE FORK IN I'M DONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tiger_man322]

Sitting 16th now.

17th if GWS win next week

Which they will.

and Cotch is not a Captain's arseh*le. Should've given it to someone else

Like who?

Like who?

Reckon Lids could handle being captain and it wouldn't affect the way he performs

 

[deliberate!!]

So what does it take for the average Richmond supporter to open their eyes and see that we are going nowhere and the club is stagnant?

Are you ashamed enough YET when you realise WE NOW get beaten by teams that have had a Coach WHO HAS HAD ONLY ONE FRIGGIN PRE-SEASON TO GET HIS NEW TEAM UP enough to beat us?

Are you ashamed enough to see players not running to space to sacrifice their energy in the hope they better the team further upfield?
Are you ashamed enough to see players cheating with lazy short handballs and kicks sideways and backwards instead of looking to create forward to better the team?
Are you ashamed of players second to the ball?
Are you ashamed of players not backing their judgements and instead watching, holding and infringing against their opponents?
Are you ashamed that our Coach has literally killed off our forward line?
Are you ashamed that our playing group is a shattered mess who ignore the basics?

Are you ashamed that this is how we remember Tom Hafey through the way we play?

I'm disgusted with the entire club.

I want a new Coach NOW, anybody, even an interim Coach, a new voice in the position of Senior Coach on Monday morning.
Hardwick's coaching is non-existent and he's now the bunny of all AFL Coaches.
Hardwick MUST GO THIS WEEKEND.

If the club doesn't remove Hardwick over this weekend they are negligent in their duty to the paying Members of the Club.
Please speak up fellow supporters. Enough is enough. There is no brightside to the team at the moment so don't make it up. Be realistic.

R.I.P Tommy, and as a supporter I apologize for that utter garbage we served up against the Demons.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

I am ashamed of being a richmond supporter when I read some of the threads started after a loss.

 

[thecotch]

What a crap thread.

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

Hardwick didn't kick 9.20. I agree he's been ordinary this year but he was fine today, the Hampson/Lennon sub worked fine.

 

[Tiger_man322]

Don't come on here after a loss then. Simple.

Is it our fault we don't accept mediocrity?

 

[deliberate!!]

Wasn't one loss mate. You think we have progressed? Have a nice holiday in September. You have no idea.

 

[Maybenextyear]

The side that never lets you down letting you down.

Just a pathetic effort today....again. We have lots of players who are really just nothing players. Some you just wouldn't even notice if they were missing. Get ready for a new era of pain.

Completely agree, i'm not going to pretend to have an answer but thats not going to stop Dimma from trying to create one for the board and press

Hampson subbed = mediocrity
Vickery subbed a while back = pretended to put ice on

I disagree we were smacked at clearances and Melbournes set up was very predictable . Dimma needs to stop being everyone's mate rather than kissing their arse , whilst throwing out some if the stupid setups. Especially around clearnaces and the forwardline .
