AFL - Round 10 (non MFC Games)

Well...the Tiges have done a Port; let's see if they can hold on.

FMD, the umpires really favour the WA teams over there, particularly crucial decisions. Two of Freo's goals resulted from poor umpiring.

So far, so good

The media should probably apologise to Hardwick after he was widely ridiculed for his "Our best can beat anyone" comment. He has been proven right!

[P-man 13,367]

Apparently we really caught Richmond at the right time.

They haven't beaten anyone yet...

...but Freo look rattled.

Why are Melbourne wearing Freo jumpers tonight??

Maybe Richmond caught Freo at the right time.

They are playing a very Melbourne type game, no doubt about that.

[beelzebub 23,390]

Safe to say the Toiges have gone right past us since we last met.

[Gorgoroth 13,188]

Let's just wait, Richmond could still stuff this up.

[P-man 13,367]

Maybe Richmond caught Freo at the right time.

Combination of the two it would seem. Richmond have been slick with their ball use, and Deledio isn't the standout for once. They can't put a foot wrong. Even Morris looks like a footballer.

Are FIFA running the book?

[Dockett 32 1,239]

We beat Richmond didn't we?

[Bang Bang Bang 5,850]

Richmond missed so many gettable goals against us and kicked 5.16. They are on 13.3 tonight. Sometimes footy is a simple game, just kick it through the big sticks!

I agree. But i hope your not implying that they played better than us on the night...

[RalphiusMaximus 6,110]

I just don't know what to make of Richmond. At least we get thrashed by the top sides and do ok against the average ones. They have it backwards somehow.

??? the lavender mist?

they always have, they are the giant killers. but fail to wake for games more often than not.

[Moonshadow 17,678]

Hold your horses! Freo coming back.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Would comfortably be the most entertaining meltdown of the year if Richmond managed to lose this. Absolute gold.

Shades of the Port/Hawks match earlier in the year, except Port had the fortitude to hold on with seconds to spare. Do I think Richmond have the same mental fortitude as Port?

Well...

Grimes has been great tonight,

How poor were the crowd Bronx cheering Pav...

F!ogs.

The way Richmond are being talked up by the commentators is laughable. Let me remind you that St Kilda beat Fremantle last year and ended up wooden spooners. Richmond have beaten who, exactly? Essendon? Carlton? Brisbane? Collingwood*?

They lost to us (and we seemingly only show up to games once a month) and Geelong (who are on the slide).

*I don't rate wins against Collingwood. Their win against North was special, but they haven't pinched any wins off a genuine contender. In fact, their draw has been enviable, with wins against Brisbane, Saints, Essendon, Carlton, Gold Coast. Let's see how they're travelling after they play Hawks, Sydney and Freo.

They just made a fool out of you and beat a side thats won 9 in a row and right on their home turf.

Who cares if they are beating those sides. Atleast they are winning. Taking the game on with quick ball movement. None of this kick backwards or sideways to slow the play down.. they were daring tonight and i enjoyed watching them.

I would still take their performance over ours this year.
