We couldn't put it together

It's a shame really.

We played good footy, but couldn't put 4 quarters together.

Everyone says we're chances for the finals, but until we win in Melbourne we won't be.

Yeah thats right...untill we win in Melbourne and untill we can put two together we cant really look at finals. I think what was so dissapointing is that we had a good start and were on the way to winning and we let them back in. One good thing was that we never gave up like we may have last year! Ohwell we forget about today and look to next week...at home where we can try and make up for today!

I disagree there, personally i believe the scoreline flatters us, we played shocking in the second half, only time i am happy with in this game was the first 25 mins of the first quarter.

Coming into the game i expected us to win, even with our away hoodoo. We came out playing like a team possessed, but then 2 quick rich goals ended that, and we never got back up. we missed Gardiner and Roo TERRIBLY, got flogged in the ruck, and the midfield was asleep, a fair bit of it anyway. I will give Richmond great Credit, they played great footy, they should have won by more, and they didn't not because of west coast, but because of their own mistakes.

I don't expect you to agree with me, i expect many to say well we played well and only just lost, our guys gave their all, well i totally disagree with that, am and very upset with todays performance, and voting will be very hard for me.

Richmond seem to have made a habit of beating us at the MCG. I was confident going into the game but Wayne Campbell killed us and apart from Wilson and Wirrapunda up forward, we have no avenue to goal

Quite dissapointing really...

Well i thought we played like crap. Cox put in a great performance, but more around the ground stuff than in the ruck where we were beaten. Midfield never got going but i dont think the scoreline flattered us. Richmond also played pretty crap. Crap game all round actually....anyway ahead to next week and the Hawks...tough game, we really need to keep winning at home otherwise we will fall out of the finals race pretty quickly.
