Sounds very much like you're more hopeful than anything else, mate.

Richmond win it unfortunately.

Yep on both counts mate.

A very disappointing game that I thought was over by about the 5 minute mark of the first Q.

It was pretty obvious Davis wasn't up to it in his first contest with Jack...that would not be a good look for his teammates to see the Captain make the wrong call on his fitness and put himself above the team.

Also sort of hindsight here but if you are going to take a player in after an operation the last one would have to be Whitfield...not exactly the poster boy of tough and uncompromising...

All we need is

A home ground

A dynamic president

Recruiters with a vision

A development program

A skilled coach

A club culture

A dozen or so extra top line players.

Yes great club team Richmond, great coach yes dynamic president, a skilled coach yes all true form 2017 untill 2019 this Richmond team,. Just go back to 2016 8 wins, coach under pressure everyone was calling for his sacking, a challenge to the president. Great club we can never be as good,  that's rubbish, between 1983 to 2012 this great club Richmond only played in 2 finals series. 12 months in footy is a long time, 12 months ago we were top 4 all of those points are what we had, 12 months later and all those points we don't have, wait 12 months, might be totally reverse. Our coach is only in his third year, Hardwick has been around 3 times longer and has been called everything from great coach to useless.

Dusty put in a stellar last quarter to clinch the medal but the kid gets in the picture.

What a debut and he was very influential.  His disposal skills and decision making seemed to inspire his veteran teammates.

It was as if they didn't want to be shown up.

The Pickett debut is one hell of a story.

Picket is now a life member of RFC after one game!

It's also a lesson in how life can be so unfair at time.

Delidio was sitting in the stands looking on.

Selective at best picking 2016. The one year in the last seven they did not make the finals.

Such irony. GF’s we aern’t Playing in

GF’s At The MCG, and that doesn’t bother you.

In fact you ridicule those who show disdain for it

You really sound like someone born with entitlement. I find most of your posts laughable. Most of them are negative and come from a 'born to rule' place. Get over it, it's a game called AFL where the playing field is NOT level, hasn't been for very many years.

Who ever said that brand (ie game style) and culture don't mean anything?

Brand is a marketing term, and meaningless, culture is another thing all together and we do not have it  Hardwick is a balanced person, Goody not so much.

Pickett wouldn't fit into Goodwin's "handball around aimlessly in circles until we turn it over" game plan.

And how many seasons has Hardwick had before proving himself to be a genius?  In 2016 the microwaves were warmed up at Punt Road and there were calls for his blood.

Problem with AFL over last few years the final has been a blow out. Boring to watch and unfortunately most switched of half way through the third. 

Unfortunately this game has no more growth as much as they push the life out of it in non footy states.

 

Dirts - never fear.  Shocking and Gillon will no doubt come up with some more grippingly great rule changes off season to make the brand more appealing.

Culture is a Club thing Mono, not just down to the coach. Six years in to the Roos/Goodwin thing and we do not have it.

I think we need to take as many positives out of todays game as possible. At least GWS have dethroned us to take out the most recent horrendous finals performance.

Port already took that mantle from us in 2007 ADC.  44 v Cats 163.  Unless you are referring to the Prelim.  Then yes

I'd have GWS above us for a decent first quarter and keeping the Tigers goalless if it werent for a dodgy free kick to Riewoldt and a very late Rioli goal. Our prelim would've been x10 as horrendous if it was a GF

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
