    The last time the Richmond Fountain of Comedy managed to beat us we had the following players on the field:

    Magner, M. Jones, Pickle Evans, Jordie, Tapscott, Nicholson, Sellar, Strauss, Bail and Toumpas (among others I won't bring up).

    Doesn't matter who we bring in. 

    When was that game?

    Slightly off topic, but seriously what use are those "security officers" at the entrance gates?

    At the Carlton game it meant a 10-15 minute wait in a queue, and then and on Saturday a cursory wave with a wand, not caring that I had pockets full of keys, money, radio, and who knows what - they certainly wouldn't have the slightest clue had i taken in a small nuke!!

    A total tokenistic waste of time unless they are going to do it properly, like at an airport, which would lead to interminable lineups.

    Same here Mono. On Saturday a guy in front of me had a bag, wandered through the bag search bit, then the wand guy just waved it around and didn't ask the guy to remove the bag let alone look in it. 

    All or nothing IMO

    A few posts here have touched on leadership during that 3rd q barrage. What struck me watching live was indeed the body language after only 2 or 3 of the 7 straight Freo goals. 

     Hands on hips/heads, heads down, no communication. There was no one revving up, encouraging or directing others. 

    And unfortunately, Jones stood out like a sore thumb (maybe it's his nice shiny scone) guilty of this. And surely you'd expect more from Viney in this area. 

    We'll miss Gawn in those situations. You always see him encouraging others when the chips are down. As for Lewis....well let's hope he'll make amends in spades. 

    Gotta lift each other, lads, if we are to pop the Tiggie's balloon.

    Having watched all of Richmond's games (watched the West Coast replay), I reckon they are one of the worst 4-0 teams of all time. They make stupid errors and lack the midfield depth. They haven't played a decent team yet. Collingwood, Carlton, West Coast (at the 'G, who should have put them away) and now Brisbane - they haven't beaten anyone of note. And those first two wins were really scratchy. 

    If we bring forward half pressure and minimise our turnovers as we did in the first two weeks, we should murder them.

    Agreed. Shades of Norf last year going 9-0.

    Defensive Structure

    in Melbourne Demons

    Posted · Edited by Deemented Are Go!

    Watching live it was simple really: lack of running/work rate. Laziness? Fitness? Application? In any the flood of white jumpers moving forward ahead of red and blue jumpers was plain to see. Several times we were outnumbered in our defensive 50 which is just poor running back, not so much structure me thinks.

    Gee, Dwayne Russell continues his moronic existence. Been saying all night that whoever wins out of the Blues and Gold Coast will go into the 8. Unless they'd won by 10 goals, the Suns were never going into the 8. He is an all round spud and how he keeps his job I'll never know.

    Maybe he's actually got some kind of degenerative disease

    Agree with first two

      Weed looked injured as well as lost - time to reset

      Melksham ? another Essendon Trojan Horse?  Turns over far too much. Hopefully Hibberd may be different

      Hannan - depends on whom is pressing from Casey. Let's see how Tim Smith goes, and Brayshaw and even Trengove

    Indeed that last spot is a toss up. Quite right to see what happens at Casey

    I know it's early, but a Port loss here could be handy for us. And a big loss for Essendon tonight could see us back in the 8. :D

    *tongue planted firmly in cheek*

    Beat me to it A F! Gotta find something to left the spirits. Go Crows, murder the druggies!!
