Tigers V Bombers

I watched us play Port, then I watched a little bit of Bris/Carlton and switched it off.

Melb Vs Port was a far better game to watch than Bris Vs Carlton.

Not sure about this Essendon Vs Tigers game.

I don't know if it is the level of footy that has lost my interest - or the amount of cans I've had, could go either way there.

The level of stupidity by Richmond players in this game is absolutely... Stupifying. Under 15s could play a more competitive game.


Richmond are a rabble, we've passed the torch by the looks of it.

We helped by giving them Miller, A.Maric and Petterd to go with their spud farm of recruits; Hampson, Chaplain, A.Edwards, Grigg and softy Houli.

Meanwhile Schulz, White and Derickx are killing it at their new clubs, even Nahas has had a small impact at north.

Most of my family and a lot of mates are Tigers supporters so I take a lot of interest, and an immense amount of joy watching the [censored] hit the fan and the microwaves melt the cards.

Cotch can't kick over a jam tin, Riewoldt is a downhill skiing sook.

Imagine how bad they'd be had Martin left.

Richmond and Reiwoldt are a joke

Hope they enjoyed beating up on GWS

Means absolutely nothing

 

It's just Richmond being Richmond, they always get ahead of themselves and it's great to see them crumble.

I'm looking forward to when we play the bombers in two weeks.

Judging from what I've seen tonight we'll smash them.


Just heard the Tigers summed up as lazy on SEN. Perfect description. 50 margin at 3QT - thinking it'll be 86-105 in the end.

This loss will fuel speculation that Worsfold is waiting in the wings. Dim a is gone I would suggest.

Interesting thought about Wosha, Chook. At this rate, I'd be surprised ih Hardwick sees out the season.

Worsfold is now living in Melbourne I believe and wants to coach again.


I was staggered at the talk of top four for Richmond this year. Never rated them at any stage. They peaked last year and got found out at the first hurdle in the finals, but convinced themselves their list just needed a top up. Their delusion was rampant and widespread and it has cost them. Time to start over.

Did not know that.

Attendance at the game was 74 000 and change. Think we can at least meet or beat that. I'm figuring 80 000ish.

Weren't they supposed to be served their notices by the end of May - only about 100 minutes to go.

The Tigers will be really struggling to get anywhere near ninth place. Top 4 - pftt.

I think it was the show cause letters that were due to be distributed by the end of the month. Besides, the way this thing has draged on..and on...and on, you didn't really expect them to stick to a timeline, did you?

Jack Riewoldt the king of meaningless junk time footy

What a spud

Wouldn't matter who coached Richmond, they are rabble.

It has been for years. The supporters run the club and the board and surrounding staff are too [censored] scared to offend them. And when you add to this that the supporters are either drinking champagne because their team is better than anyone or drinking cyanide because they are the worst team in the league, then you have mob rule, and that never works. It especially won't work down Tigger Alley because their supporters are so freakin' unbalanced and unrealistic.

Normally when you point at cultural problems in a club you target players, or coaches or admin. Down that way it's the supporters that harm the club in ways that no other club has managed, and probably won't.

Until that changes they will either be suffocated by unrealistic expectations when they win, or drowned by the vitriol and anger that accompanies losses.

But enough about putting the boot into the RFC in its moment of pain (as fun as that is). I want to talk to that fella that defected from us to go join them when we had our teatime of the soul. What was his name again?

Richmond havent won a final since 2001 LOL

They will always be a nothing team

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
