Haha Petterd soft... Yeah, damn near killed himself throwing himself at a loose ball in the dying minutes. It wasn't long after he was gut running Alex Rance literally off his feet.
When I gave Ricky votes on 'ology I said his defensive pressure was Collingwood like. I didn't mean like the whole team!
I knew there was something crazy about that effort.
No wonder we are such easy targets for opposition supporters, just get there, make it happen.
Everyone hates it there, but we gots ta go.
Although I wouldn't mind if no one went, give the Dogs another crowd on Friday night below 20k, they deserve it.
I'd like Strauss moved up the ground when Tapscott comes back.
Let him get some ball and have a few pings at goal, like a Zaharakis, rather than trying to lock down on a forward.
He needs some more confidence to really show his kicking skills.
For some reason reading this thread title I remembered when Bailey got this gig, at his presser a journo aked who'd called him, as deadpan as ever he said Phil Jackson called and congratulated him... The journo believed him. That was damn funny, no idea why I'm remembering this now.
Anyway... carry on
I think there's been a misunderstanding, the boos were for Tom Scully, not Miller.
Hope I've cleared that up and we can get on with being Melbourne supporters.
He's a beauty, takes the game on with his pace and is as hard as nails, took a good gutsy grab too. It's my opinion that had Bennell taken the same approach as Nicho to the start of his career, he'd be a lot further advanced than he is now.
On PuntRoadEnd they reckon Nicholson must've been covered in vasoline.
... I might be when I watch the replay...
Can't wait for the follow up to this post when you realize your wallet is missing.
I took my 15yo cousin who is a Richmond supporter (most of my family are), and there was a split second hand laid on Nicholson, I'm talking one tenth of a second, when my cousin and a chorus of the toothless yelled "ball!" Nicho was long gone dashing through the middle... I looked at my cuz and we both laughed, he realizes how stupid his tribe is.
Miller was hopeless today, we should've all been cheering.
Loved the dropped mark when they were building momentum, and the turnover.
I didn't boo him, but couldn't care less who did. I'm just glad we're not wasting time and positions with stupid stop-gap pick ups like Brad Miller.
Look at the experience Watts and Howe are getting, Miller is just delaying that sort of development for a Richmond kid, for that I'm grateful.
Who are you and what have you done with Stakka?
Agree Nasher, Bartram has been good, I thought it'd take good players to dislodge him, Tappy and Nicho might just be those players.
Ballsy, was never really a fan of Bartram, but his hardness in a butter team won me over the last year or so. It was only going to be a matter of time before one of his stupid kicks in the backline cost us a game though, so I'll be relaxed knowing Richmond won't be able to just leave Bartram free to turn it over.
I'd like the footy dpt to show Strauss and Morton a video of how Bartram tackles and runs in straight lines though.
Gysberts + Jamar = more clearance power. Midfield wins it. We only have to break even in the middle to win, their defence concedes far too many shots on goal.
Can you imagine Dwayne Russell commentating the first time they kick to each other? He'd waste a quarter explaining to the viewers at home how their names are similar.
If he did want another Vic club, it'd be an ok outcome for us. They'd need to trade big to get him.
If he chose the draft, have fun at the Bulldogs or Richmond need to start tanking now. Wouldn't that be ironic.
Sure was, looked like spiderman.
But then he passed it off, stupid team player.
Jack Watts parking himself on Nathan Lovett-Murray's head not receiving a nomination was a huge joke.
I read a lot into this too. The fact that he was drinking the stuff meant that there were no first gamers to pour it on, Tom looked clearly disgusted at the lack of development at this club.
GWS will have first gamers almost every week, sure, they won't get to pour any Powerade on anyone for the first couple of seasons, but their development is already outstanding.
The fact he deliberately picked orange before flipping the bird at the MFC flag on the wall makes me wonder how anyone still has any hope of him staying.
