It was a serious street fight Players, Officias and Police 

I remember watching it on TV 

2 Clubs who excel in the art of Thuggery

What I find interesting about this particular clip is not that Lloyd squibs, but that big tough man Wallis seems to break a nail and is pretty upset about it.

A pity that football club isn't defunct. 

Well I remember sitting at the MCG final where Essendon just thugged Fitzroy players. Quinlan, Sidebottom , Wilson,, didn't matter who they were they just attacked the player until they hold few left to actually contest. They couldn't catch one player whose name escapes me now. But it was the most disappointing game I ever saw no football just violence.

Not so fast SWYL.

Lets knock them out in Week 1 of the finals.

An earlier poster here talked about Ox's physical trials and addisiction which he overcame to become an advoctae for the issue. Thats courage.

Hardwick and Lynch? Hitting blokes in the back of the head or guts when unprepared - weak.

Based on the Tige's President Peggie Lynnch's comment on the ABC this week, I suspect their Board isn't impressed.

Fingers crossed. Mathematically though, they can still pinch 9th spot

This topic is getting a good siting on here, no doubt because if the Ox.

but is it being raised on any of the other clubs web sites, if it was getting as much exposure on the others then Hardwick may well regret making any comment. And Lynch might cop a bit of attention from players and umpires.

I have always despised those who may lack a bit of talent so instead of working hard they "go the knuckle".  

Hardwick was a thug as a footballer, he was one of the few players I could not watch. But like many blokes who were thug players, he seems decent enough once off the field, and I have admired him as a coach - until now. A part of his true nature has emerged and there is clearly an ugly, bitter, nasty part of his baseline personality. 

I am usually fairly indifferent to Richmond, but I am hungry to see them do one of two things: finish 9th again, or go out backwards with 2 huge losses in the finals.

Also Dimma: 'David Schwarz is a little cry baby'

 

Dimma would have a field day with me.

Very very stupid move by Hardwick to dredge up the 2000 Grand Final; illustrating the gutless violence that Essendon served up that day.

I always remember that photo of michael long in the paper after he smashed troy simmons.

I said to my friend, long looks like he was possessed, or on something.

The Monday after the GF, the toilet paper ( herald sun) had it in full colour, it was sicking to say the least.

The hypocrisy is Dimma has cried in public a ton of times.

When Ox is coming across as the grown up in the room you know you've lowered your colours I reckon.

Barracking for a scrappy 35 - 35 draw between Dons and Tiges now, with half of the tigers players reported and suspended for 2+ weeks. Lynch to miss a shot after the siren to win the game. 

I also would like us to face them first/second week of finals and knock them out. 

Jeez him bringing the GF has definitely brought out some feelings I repressed!

Long has done some good stuff since but still have a query next to his name.

Can we please stop calling him some jovial nickname, his name is Damian and he’s a f log of the highest order.

Trying to tear someone down because they expressed an opinion and doing so because that person showed emotion in a stressful scenario after years of inner turmoil because of his knees. 90% of coaches/clubs would be on the front foot saying Lynch’s actions are not on.... not the Tigers.

Mick Condon was the one they couldn't catch.

So .... I've been to the video tape.
Schwarz went off about the 20min mark with the blood rule after being popped on the beak by Wallace.
Got abit of a mouthful from Hardwick on the way off.
Is that what Hardwick calls crying?

Dimma is a goose.  He is an angry little twerp.  He has needed some pretty high quality people around him to keep him in check, but you can’t hide your basic nature for ever.

Suggesting you like your key forward to ‘push the line’ is stupid.  Have you ever seen a team throw their arms in the air for frees as badly as the Tigers forward line?  (Except Geelong) . Riewoldt looks like he’s going to cry every time he misses out on a free.  This now invites defences to really go after these nufties.  Hard-wit is also essentially baiting the umpires.

Should be some defences that take the invitation to play these fecal stains at their own game....

Dimma's old teammate, the original Dive Bomber Lloyd, set a standard that has yet to be equalled IMO.

I looked as well. Schwarta went off for the blood rule, kicking and screaming not crying. Hardwick gave and received a mouthful.

So Lynch punches his opponent in the stomach off the ball, allowing him to break on to the lead, mark and goal. He cops two cheap fines.  Max gets assaulted off the ball. 

When are the AFL going to get real?  This is blatant cheating - stopping a player fairly getting to the contest.  It can change matches and all they do is hand down a piddling fine?

It brings the game into disrepute.

Lynch should have been suspended for that incident. Weather we are serious about violence behind play or we are not. The AFL needs to get serious about this...

esse acted like thugs that day, but being at the ground, it was clear that it was schwarz opportunity to fly the flag for some of the young blokes but he didn't and the physical response from the senior players was meek. its a gf and if big blokes are repeatedly beating up on you you need your big blokes to respond with force

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
