  1. Great observations. The club has done some wonderful recruitment and investment in Rivers, Mcvee, Bowey, Jvr and Chandler. 5 players who probably have the collective total games of less than maybe 60 odd.
  2. I know our win looked scrappy and rough.There were several mistakes and bad decisions. But on reflection the game is no ordinary one. The special day and crowd are never conditions that are conducive to a perfect win. And credit to Ricmond in the pressure they applied. Also we have constantly through injuries been rotating players. It takes time for them to find form and allow systems to work properly. Add in our travel and some shocking umpiring( not the frees paid but the inconsistency in the ones not paid to us) and the win seems more respectable. The big upside was Jvr who kicked 3 in the last. Could have been 4. Not many youngsters in their 4th game who have been nullified all night by their opponent, shake it off and do that before 80k people. Jack is back and is having a bumper season. Gawn stepped in after an injury and several weeks off and reminded us why his work ethic and contested marking are so integral to us. Lever ditto. The youngsters Mcvee and Chandler continue to impress. Our forward line has a bit of room to improve. We just need Bbb to come back and play at his best and Kozzie to do what we know he can. Winners are grinners again.
  3. Umps continue their poor form.
  4. Thanks that. That's a great effort and very surprising. Couldn't tell by the noise on telly though except for the Roo cheer.
  5. They sure are, I thought it was Redgum.
  6. Can anyone at the game last night give a guestimate of the Dees v tigers fans?
  7. This man interviewed on 7 right now is a true blue hero and legend .
  8. Could have finished five. Two blatant holds not paid. It's funny he was almost subbed off. Phew
  9. Disappointed bbb was goaless and Tmac with only one in the magoos. A spot for one of them but they didn't really take their opportunity. Doesn't bode well.
  10. I'm not faulting Grundys rucking. He's very good. I also think he's pretty good at ground level. I just think one mark for tge game isn't good from a ruckman. Even with Max out he's struggled taking marks little own contested ones. If he can be more of a successful go to target it would really make a difference.
  11. I thought Sparrow played his best game for the year. Nibbler was good too. I was lamenting our fwd line issues but I feel better now after Jvrs fantastic last quarter. He needs another tall to help out . I don't think it's Petty and its not Tmac. Grundy has been good but it astounds me that a man his size can take only one mark for the whole game. This stat is no outlier and it's a worrying part of his game. Pickett needs to stop those specky attempts and get back to crumbing. Jv is back to his best. Loving Chandler and Mcvee. Max makes such a difference. I know I bang on about the umpiring but it wasn't the soft frees the tigers got time after time, it was the great ammount of frees we should have got but didn't. On the rare occasion we received a free, the umps blew the whistle very late, almost as if they didn't want to. Sometimes only after all the players had stopped. It was an atrocious effort on their part. It wasn't a pretty game but the Tigers had lost two in a row and threw everything at us. They tackled hard and played fast. In the end I think our fitness prevailed. It's interesting that we have won every last quarter this year. Now we just have to work on winning the first and second more often.
  12. Max and Lever 18 marks. Makes a difference. Jvr turns it on at the right time. Umps go and get...
  13. Don't ping dusty. No way.
  14. Our tackling and running really changed at half time.
  15. It was. Nice camera shepherd front kvr.
  16. It's been a shocking performance from them.
  17. I think kozzie would want to sign his contract soon.
  18. I take my jvr complaint back. Sorry.
  19. Richmond look tired. With A FREE.
