Round 18 - non-MFC games.

[whatwhat say what 23,440]

and there's the soft free to keep the hawks in it.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Richmond aren't just running, they are sprinting at all times.

Melbourne just jog.

[KingDingAling 3,758]

and there's the soft free to keep the hawks in it.

Just so we can see a 'good finish'. There is no way that was a free kick.

[whatwhat say what 23,440]

chip is having a shocker. i thought that was a goal.

Clearly touched.

[Earl Hood 6,142]

Shocking holding the ball against the Tiges for a gimme goal to Gunston! Prior opportunity really and it could have been deemed high for that matter.

[monoccular 17,642]

That free goal to Hawthorn Gunston epitomises my rapidly declining interest in the game of AFL - the Tiger (can't remember who) went in, got the ball, NO prior opportunity, tackled INCLUDING ONE OVER THE SHOULDER / NECK, and freed for HTB !!!!

Not even effecting MFC in any way but this pi55es me off completely. Turns me off AFL - Gill, take note if you bloody well care.

NOT a correct tackle, and NO prior opportunity. Free to the guy with the ball, (or at least ball up) every day of the week.

Geez, Frawley stands out tonight. For all the wrong reasons.

[Biffen 12,949]

Gibson tried to beat five tackles earlier and got a ball up.

Have the rules changed again?

[monoccular 17,642]

And again - Puopolo pushed some ball getter in the back, ridden into the ground, again with NO prior opportunity - HTB.

Get stuffed, AFL - reward the bloody ball getter.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

This game just shows how important pressure is.

The amazing thing with pressure is it requires no skill, it's just if your players can be bothered or not.

That was paid as a push in the back mate.

Pathetically inconsistent.

And the AFL are (supposedly) considering adding even on more umpire per game which would be 9 more per week.

How deep a cesspit do they have from which they can trawl 9 more maggots from?

They have already dipped far too deep.

Will just compound the mistakes.

[monoccular 17,642]

How the hell did we beat Richmond (and Geelong and Fottascray for that matter) yet succumbed to the Druggies and Saints x2???

Well done Tigers tonight. They applied pressure and rattled the arrogant Hawks

[monoccular 17,642]

We must be talking about a different incident I believe.

[What 18,810]

gotta thank Richmond for suddenly make a very boring season a bit more interesing

Great win

Hope they finish 4th and Sydney or Hawthorn drop out

[titan_uranus 25,176]

I really don't want to think about the Richmond supporters talking themselves up, but how good is it to see the smugness wiped off the faces of Hodge, Mitchell, Burgoyne, Lewis and co.?

Proof that sustained pressure for the whole game can keep you in any game against anyone.

I hope some of our players learn from this.

Edit: also relevant to note Richmond didn't really have anyone stand out too much, but had a really even contribution from all 22. No real passengers.

The one where he tackled Taylor Hunt? That one was paid as a push in the back. The Miles one was given as a free to Gunston. If there was another one I must have missed it while eating my toast...

[dees189227 12,453]

Its amazing how he did manage to beat Richmond. Must have got them at a good time.

But the pressure they did bring to the hawks was great. Something we need to do.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Credit to the Tigers, didn't allow Hawthorn to play their game and applied pressure for 120 minutes.

Didn't walk out expecting to lose, that's for sure.

Also helped having 3 extra players on the ground, which is par the course for Richmond. Clear of the next team for total free kicks in their favour this season by over 70 (North Melbourne, land of the divers, in 2nd).

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Richmond beat Sydney.

Richmond beat Fremantle.

Richmond beat Hawthorn.

Melbourne beat Richmond.

That means Melbourne is the best.

/Half-life 3 confirmed.

[Moneider96 1,045]

Definitely rooting for Richmond this year. The only team who has had a worse 30 years than us.

[Je Roos Salem 661]

Richmond beat Sydney.

Richmond beat Fremantle.

Richmond beat Hawthorn.

Melbourne beat Richmond.

That means Melbourne is the best.

/Half-life 3 confirmed.

Interestingly we played all of them in 4 consecutive weeks

[Biffen 12,949]

The umps tried to change the result but they weren't bad enough on the night.

well done Richmond scum.

The only way to beat bullies is to bully

them.

The result was not affected by the umpire, but many bets were.

Time they were fully reviewed/changed over.

One incident I remember clearly is Frawley not allowing a Tiger to even guard the mark.

Why are you allowed to even touch him?

Several verbal warnings, distract the marker, then the kicker lands a pass.

No free against manhandling the guy on the mark?

Penalise theses niggling ,cheating bullies or [censored] off to the Sunraysia league.
