Honestly, our record against new teams entering the competition is absolutely appalling. Surely it can't be coincidence. We cannot possibly let it happen again!

There is no doubt that our best 22 is better than theirs so there really should be no issue yet many of us were thinking the same thing about the Gold Coast last year and look how that turned out...

This failing against new teams has to be a mental thing and unfortunately it has become entrenched in the Richmond 'culture'.

So, in a nutshell, what has to be done to ensure we win?
 
Turn up on time.

I lnow what you're saying and all, but GWS list is not even half as good as say GC this time last year.

Can't see them winning a game.
 
Watch the Eagles first ever game and Gold Coast last season, then say don't do this????

We only scraped home against Fremantle at the MCG in their first game.

Conditions that day were the type of conditions that suited a Melbourne team and that both WA teams were being flogged in, initially. That game was as jittery as any of our first up times against new sides.

Our game against GWS will be only their second game at Skoda stadium and they will be coming back from a bye with their last outing a trip to Geelong. Might be licking their wounds the fortnight before.

No way our boys will want to go through that humiliation again. Particularly with a bye the next week.
 
How about growing some balls mentally, the Port and Gold Coast losses last year had nothing to do with player ability. And bookmark it, the media and footy world will be all over us the week we play GWS everyone involved in the footy world will be hoping they roll us.
 
The tiger roar just needs to be in blacktown.
We could outnumber their crowd quite easily..
So who is coming up in June???????
 
Mentally need to harden up. People saying the how the tigers are shit for all these years definitely doesn't help. The boys just need to shut it out and remember who they play for the mighty Richmond Football Club and forget the doubters and all the haters because they will never stop. Harden up is Dimma's philosophy and I believe were seeing inroads on that and recreating the great culture that lead this team to success in the past.

Bring it on!
 
they should be worse than GC in thier first year, at least GC has some seasoned defenders..:o

bugger me, I want jack to have a field day against them.

pretty sure the loss to gc will burn in the players minds...

I will definitely be going , i may also have a spare airline ticket one way if any bf peeps interested pm me , looking forward to it , we really only lost to GCS because it was a 6-7 goal wind straight down the ground which we didn't use as well as them.
We will beat them in Cairns this year.
 
Hopefully we will play some hard/tough footy and dominate possession against them to win.

To me it will be more interesting to see how we go against GC after last time! Very interesting!
