Autopsy Elimination Final - Richmond vs North Melbourne

[The Falcon Strike]

Here's the video. Almost certain it was directed at an AFL official who was monitoring the press conference and warned him that he would cop a $5k fine. Pretty sure it's the "Patrick" he refers to with scorn just after he sits down. Clearly AFL were in damage control for the bullshit missed HTB and didn't want him criticizing the umpires over it.

Patrick Keane then I'm guessing

He should get fined. Why pick out 1 poor decision - not like his own team didn't get their own gifts.

Maybe he should watch the 1st half again and thank the umps for all their early charity.

And maybe count jacks steps and walk backwards

Tigers didn't bring their best football, to a final, no less. They are a better team than that. Still don't get how to play finals footy-push the ball forward at all costs, take the 1st option... they were disappointing and so tough for their supporters.
North fresher in the second half. Played surer footy. Presume resting the players was a factor.

Where's the rest of the tweet? The North fan was 4 years old.

It's like he simply forgot Cotchin getting Ziebell high mere seconds beforehand.

It was a terrible decision at a crucial stage and likely to result in a goal to Richmond. Not good enough.

 

[HBFlanker]

Really have to wonder if Cotchin is the best player to take Richmond forward. I feel Riewoldt is the best leader at Richmond. Cotchin mentally and physically weak

 

[kneecapper]

Yep, that makes sense.

The petulance and sooking starts from the top with Hardwick and Riewoldt and filters all the way down to the suppoters.

What's the difference between the Loch Ness monster and a Richmond finals win? Some people reckon they've seen the Loch Ness monster.

What's green with wings and eats Tigers?

The MCG in September.

 

[Rod Stroker]

I think he was directing it at the AFL official who'd just fined him.

Correct. He'll probably get another fine for swearing at an AFL official.

Not his best day, Dimma.

 

[Rod Stroker]

This isn't an autopsy, it's neutral fans kicking the corpse of Richmond's season. Shut the thread.

Do you not know that an autopsy involves a corpse?

 

[Rod Stroker]

I can't ignore that Cunnington non-holding the ball decision though, it was atrocious and the two goal turnaround cost us any chance of winning the game.

What about 5 seconds before that, the non-decision when Ziebell had his head ripped off and it was play on?

 

[Rod Stroker]

That has to be the worst final played by a captain of all time.

Cotchin should be traded. Sorry, but if the captain of your club is your worst player you have issues.

9 touches. 9. He is capable of 35 on his day - no excuse for that effort.

The "excuse" would be that he was comprehensively outplayed by a better player.

Cotchin isn't the first top line mid that Jacobs has destroyed this year, his roll call of victims is remarkable for a bloke who was playing VFL this year.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Who was Dimma referring to in the pressed as a ******* moron

Someone made a comment I couldn't hear and he responds "serious? ******* moron"

It was at the tail end of the HTB decision

He was sooking because one ump didn't pay it but he went on to say that 2 others and 80,000 other people saw it so it should have been paid.
An AFL official in the room then slapped him with a 5K fine for trash talking the umps, to which he replied: "Serious? ****in moron!"

If Hardwick and Richmond want to blame that holding the ball decision for a 17 point loss in which they were smashed in contested ball, scoring shots and marks inside 50 then they will continue to wallow in mediocrity for years to come.

Better team won today. Suck it up and reload for next year.

 

[Hardhat11]

Out ran

Out tackled

North moved the ball better ...look at scoring shots ...North should have won by more to be honest

The decision was a poor one but it didn't coast them the game at all

Roos played Great footy in the day ...Richmond played well in patches too but fatigue played its part also and well done to them for resting players

 

[Wild Bill]

It was a terrible decision at a crucial stage and likely to result in a goal to Richmond. Not good enough.

So the 4 goals in the 1st half that were gifts to kick start their day weren't crucial?

Agree North deserved to win in the end but the ump wimped it out in that situation and not good enough.

 

[HBF]

You mean because we follow Richmond? *slow clap*

No because the majority of you blame the umpires.

 

[MAGPIE2013]

matthew kreuzer had had more medicals this season than richmond wins in finals in the past decade

 

[Only Forwards]

Doesn't fit the heartbreak conspiracy narrative being pushed.

Umps ain't ever a legit reason. Ever.

If you're good enough, you win.

 

[HBF]

yes, and in both games a guy named Jarrod Waite dominated.

He sure did.
Must a thing for the Richmond defenders.
Really Hardwick needed to move Bachelor off him and put Rance on him.
