Two things for me, Danger is a terrible kick, even Crows fans will say that, and Jones' 2m handballs out the back of packs normally go where they're meant too.....

Well played Sir! I must've been brainwashed by Dr.Who, my bad.

I think that's where my frustration is, I have full belief we can take a flag home this year, but we keep making the same crucial mistakes, easy goals out the back was an issue last year too, Lever going down was big but coverable IMO. Who knows, we may hit some form, but we've lost 4 of the last 6 now, could well be 5 of the last 7.

Who else thinks Richmond will smash the Pies this weekend? A lot of talk about game of the round etc, but with Pies injuries I can see it being very one sided and Collingwood are just as bad as us, they've beaten no one.

10 points? I can't handle another close one. In fact I don't think I'm allowed to watch another game after last week!

We've only got ourselves to blame Layzie

There is no pre game hum or feel, it's just screaming advertising and associated rubbish over the PA system.

This is where Gil has completely stuffed up with our game, he's too American minded.

Hmmmm, sad but true haha

Yep, I think people underestimated how weak their side was last time, they were an injury riddled mess.

But we aren’t the reigning premiers.

I don't blame Richmond at all, good on them, I blame the AFL!

I seem to recall commentators back in the day and an interview with Crawford, I'll look into it mate. Apologies. link here, Harvey 19.6km http://www.the42.ie/afl-stars-push-themselves-hardest-379060-Mar2012/

Apparently Richmond had: 9 of their first 11 games in Victoria, 8 at the MCG. 17 out of 22 games in Victoria 14 of 22 at the MCG. For a reigning premier, how is that even possible? Goes to show you it's more about money to the AFL.

Fatigue is an interesting one, interchange to 10 or so per quarter may work, then you have to think about skill errors. edit: mistake

""Perhaps most intriguingly, a line was painted horizontally across the middle of the ground. When there was a stoppage in a team's defensive-50, it needed two players in the forward half of the ground."" "Given that there were so many stoppages and so many ball-ups because there was no prior opportunity, and the way that was adjudicated was to be a ball-up, there was a lot of ball-ups," Richardson said.

It was the older guys who let us down Vince here, Jones' lazy chase, Lewis' letting his opponent go, TMac with Gawn incident. Unbelievable and you wouldn't expect that to ever happen. The kids are doing fine.

Yeah I missed it too, until I saw the replay of it a couple of nights ago and Tom Mc telling the umpire about Gawn bleeding, fair to say they all went it to panic mode.

Haha, I've even been seeing players from the same team tackling each other also, can't remember the game last week now but the issues we now have are from the AFL bringing in stupid rules, I'm totally gobsmacked they can't see their own mistakes and want to bring in different rules, the problem is simple, Rohan has nailed it. Can't wait for the 25m goal square

OK, thought they trained on opposite ovals beside each other, managed by same curator? Never been there
