This thread has been a wild ride.
Saw 3/4 time score on the app and started reading

And then the shifts in posts.
Quite brilliant.

Good win eagles.
Shit song eagles.

 

[SuperMal]

Dusty don’t care no more

Yep rolling around.

 

[spudmaster]

I know it’s just one win at home against a down and out team, but still feels good man.

Enjoy it mate!

 

[Wosh]

Enjoy!

We’re all pretty happy in our house, even the little ones all facetimed us lol.
I must say Richmond have an absolute gem in Lefau, very impressive.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Thankyou Waterman gave us the win we so desperately wanted

Last week we had no forwards that could step up for us

 

[PetterdHoisted]

Dusty don’t care no more

yeah that was pretty strange..try to centre it, messy or not

anyway, let's see if we can get 5 or 6 best 22 back before the next match, another 5-6 we need to wait for a few months

play the kids otherwise, would like to see Kaleb Smith next up

 

[chaddy22]

Holy * this song sucks, thank god we barely have to hear it.

But we also get to play eagle rock at our games.

 

[Black Saab]

brilliant really, given the total domination by the oppos, Lefau could be a find, a forward you can trust to kick straight

Dusty ran the ball OOB twice, in his own FWD line, very weird.

You're right about Lefau and hopefully he does turn into a great find AND stays healthy.

 

[Jock1eyemcpie]

Nah.
Yze had us pretty competitive other than today, some shocking luck against the Blues, there's probably 10 changes to the side if everyone was fit, and some of them are really critical.

Don't have the depth in the kids atm but that's not his fault.

Reckon we'll be a lot better next year or even late this year if we have our best available or close it on the park.

Even just picking these 6 players and ignoring the rest, swapping in Lynch, Balta, Ross, Taranto, Hopper and Gibcus in today makes a world of difference to us structurally.

That’s if gibcus can stay fit.

Thought the WC players would be going off more than that when the siren went

Keeping a lid on it bud.

 

[juss]

Liked Harley Reid, love how he gets the ball and tries to break away and kick long.

Hard to get a view on his kicking skills, he didn't try and pick off many surgical passes, seems like more of a solid field kick than an elite one but I haven't seen enough. Definitely strong in the contest and knows how to find a goal.

He looks a fraction quicker than Dusty was but not as clean by foot.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Only need one more now with over 8 minutes to go. Surely we get the job done.

Embarrassing to be blaming umpires

Tigers are a mess

 

[Black Saab]

One interview with Yze begs the question; why him?

Long 5 years coming up for the Tigs.

But 2017-2020

Not blaming umpires. Was making my own fun.

Would you keep Kozi in the side?

 

[chaddy22]

When i first saw the fixtures i saw this as one of several winnable games at home and then we got some pre season injuries.
Fortunately for us Richmond has taken over the curse. For those who said we needed to split our first round pick i think today showed why Harley Reid was worth the number one pick. It helps to have a fit Yeo and Mcgovern on the field. Hopefully get a few back from injury and we may see a few more wins.

I know, just the first win in yonks, so maybe they feel relief as much as anything too. Anyway I'm sure WC fans will be celebrating and so they should.

Noted

 

[MisterMarcus]

People will bang on about Reid, but having blokes like Yeo and Kelly fully fit and firing in the midfield shouldn't be overlooked either.

 

[fnerd]

Damn straight.

Congrats on the win btw!

 

[Black Saab]

Reid has explosive acceleration, incredible awareness and self confidence.

We all get to laugh at Richmond

The world is healing
