Straight Sets Simon

Whilst I don't think we will "smash" Richmond (contrary to previous veiws) I do think we will win and will tip Melbourne, not just because I barrack for them.

I stand corrected and I was at that game so I should have remembered.

By the looks of things, round 6, 2006 was the last time we won a Friday night game.

I'm surprised Jake Lovett wasn't on the list.

Nice.

When was the last time he got something right? Also, if I was a journalist trying to generate a bit of click bait this is exactly the kind thing I would say.

Paul Roos after the game this Friday: "Richmond played well to their credit, they are a good side who have played finals the past two years. We were unable to apply pressure and execute the basic skills we have been working on for a while now. But I think the main reason we lost is because some peanuts on a fan forum said we would smash Richmond and called them soft. We had no chance as soon as I read that."

Maybe the word "smash". I do think we should win however.

We have never worn a clash jumper against Richmond.

Terrible thread.

It pains me to say but I tend to agree with this thread and mentioned early on that his kicking action worries me. I don't think he needs a complete overhaul but without doubt his action could be improved.

Gawn.

I'm not sure about Stretch but Toumpas does not add pace to our midfield.

At least Kent creates the opportunities, he is well worth persevering with.

Your love of Michie is up there with my love of vandenBerg.

Kent any chance of being suspended?

Dennis I agree with but Bruce has this terrible habit of trying to squeeze a quick bio in about each player every time they get the ball.

My dream lineup would be Anthony Hudson and Gerard Whateley calling the play-by-play with Jason Dunstall and Scott Lucas doing the special comments. The rest are fairly uninspiring or dreadful (Dwayne Russell).

They need to learn to play without him.

Selwood just doesn't know how to lose (or not duck his head).

Fremantle dominating West Coast. Nice to see another team getting thumped for once.

Some moron thinks we should smash Richmond next weekend.

I didn't notice, I was watching the Port game. Are Brisbane any good? I was being slightly facetious, but I felt much better after this week's loss than last week.

Vince has a big lump on his face in the post-game interview.

What did Walsh say?
