Tiger coach admits defeat

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick has confessed that he is so terrified of what Melbourne could do to his team on Sunday that he refuses to give his captain Trent Cotchin and key forward Ty Vickery the week off declaring both would play after recovering from injury.

He sounds like he's conceded defeat already.

Sounds like at training tackling was the number 1 thing. Obviously Dimma ha been watching our sessions.

Holding Ricky Petterd back though.... Doesn't he know there's a history of ex-Demons carving their old side up the first time they play against them?

When I read the thread title, I thought he might have said that Richmond would be fielding a less experienced team than us.

Woewodin, Moloney, Miller... god bless us when Morton and Bennell play!

The great Brian Wilson before them ... played a blinder for the Saints against us and they beat us when they shouldn't have.

Was he joking? I think I can hear the richmond players rolling on the floor laughing

Not forgetting that monstrous game from Brent Grgic who destroyed us playing for the Cats.

And so he should be afraid, very afraid.

Neeld I hear formatted his hard drive to make room for all the contested stats etc.

Get on Ricky Bobby for 11110 tackles and 5 goals....

I will say this, Richmond have a great history of choking at games they should be winning.

and us?a history of playing carp football and getting spanked....maybe we have a plan to lull everyone into a false sense of security before we spring... if that is the case phase one has worked like a charm
