Hey guys, i don't have foxtel so i wasn't able to watch the game and see exactly what happened. I just wanted to know what went wrong (exactly)?
I just don't understand how they could lose by this much.

Started with a very young inexperienced group in the middle and from the start we couldn't match them. Snow-balled from there and there were simply no moves made to stop it. No accountability all game.

I guess that the cats simply wanted it more, and once they click, they are a hard team to pull back. We can make excuses about injuries (both previous and during the game) and the inconsistencies of a youthful team, but to play a game where it's as if your players aren't even on the ground indicates a shocking effort for a supposedly professional team. Very dissapointing all round.:thumbsdown:

No disrespect to Geelong. But there is no way, that Geelong are a 26 goal better team than Richmond.

The problem at Richmond runs alot deeper than "not enough experience" and "playing the kids".

The Tiges, before the match was 0-5. And the team that ran out on the ground, was the best 22 to represent Richmond. Was it? How can the tiges not find a spot for an experienced veteran and dual All-Australian, like Darren Gaspar. I am the first to admit his disposals are below average, but to suggest you have players ahead of him in the best 22 is insane.

To be down by 100+ points by half time is unique. But to allow the cats to increase the halftime lead by 50% in the next 2 quarters, is a disgrace.

The tigers need to be accountable, and that starts from the top. No one was prepared to make the tough calls a few years ago.
