Autopsy Elimination Final - Richmond vs North Melbourne

[Tassie27]

That's right you played one more game than us this year and failed miserably. Have been terrible for decades, but then again, beating us by 100 points after we had nothing to play for must be pretty special.

Wow, and you are proud of that?

 

[Black Saab]

<-- See the two trophies just over here underneath my username? Try to imagine how it would feel to have them underneath yours because that's about as close as you're going to get.

You were personally awesome in helping acquire those trophies too. Unlucky not to get bog and claim a couple of Norm Smiths to go with the other pictures.

 

[welshm69]

Wow, and you are proud of that?

Not at all, but again we had nothing to play for, you flogged us, great win, but in the grand scheme of things, you lot are absolutely woeful!

 

[Black Saab]

All you Richmond supporters are the same.

You mean because we follow Richmond? *slow clap*

Twice

So is that...2 finals wins in twenty years??

Yep or to put it another way, how many finals have Richmond won in the last 2 decades? Here's a hint, it's twice as many as the amount of premierships the Saints have won in their entire history.

Don't throw stones in glass houses maybe?

 

[Petrie4PM]

Cracking game guys. I was shaking the whole last quarter. Really stressful stuff but happy to get the win. Umpires had some howlers on both ends, although I felt tigers got a few easy ones in the first half.


Petrie, brown, Higgins .. Harvey & Waite just love them. Thomas has a problem, his attitude and approach is putrid. I won't stand for it. Tigers had a crack. Like the look of conca, Mcintosh and lambert. Good game guys. Ziebell better played in forward line please



Out: Nahas. Thomas.
In: turner, dumont.

 

[charcoalchicken]

you know what I could say the same thing about Bontempelli costing you the game with those easy set shots that my grandmother could have kicked , that was disgraceful for a gun player and future leader but I won't as I am too classy for that bullshit

He is also a 2nd year player and actually played a good game bar those missed shots, he also touched the ball more than 9 bloody times in a final and scored more than 36 supercoach points he got 24 disposals and racked up 114 supercoach points had a good game would have gone close to B.O.G had he converted those chances he also isn't the captain and leader of our club. So poor comparison mate if you want someone to compare Cotchin to in a finals game Leon Davis would be a better bet.

It was a legit question.
Was hoping to see a tigers win today.
Throw the saints lnes all you want, all saints members have seen the lowest of the low so not much bothers us now.

You choked
Like we did in 09

 

[Privateye]

Have to say that the recruitment of Waite and Higgins was a good gamble for North.

Really like Robbie Tarrant this year too.

Has definitely changed his barber.

 

[Angus Young]

Richmond....




LOL

 

[Yellow Feathers]

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.

 

[Naked_North]

Yeah, cotchin copped the tag and he didn't show which is poor but deledio has no excuses, same with Ellis. Those two on form win games, especially deledio, I'm not entirely sure what happened to him. Obviously as a north supporter I was happy that I didn't see him often but it was a disappointing performance from him nonetheless.

Will haunt Delidio - absolutely woeful. No excuse - didnt look like he wanted to be out there.

 

[HawkMongrel]

I'm an optimist, do all you must, you can't break my spirit.

Like I need to bother trying to break your spirit when your club already does all the work for me.

 

[Wild Bill]

30 scoring shots to 18. We won all the important stats. They were lucky to get close.

 

[Spook]

Hey Spook
"Tough man Cotchin no where to be seen in a final."

Got to agree with your comments.

Don't think I have ever seen a worst performance in a huge final from a captain ?

So much on the line 90k crowd and he puts a performance like that ?

Yep agreed. A couple of months ago Cotchin decided he was going to be the big "tough man" and "throw his weight" around. The thing is, real tough players do that and deliver in big games when everyone is going harder. Blokes like Hodge, Selwood, Evans, Brereton etc are the real tough guys, Cotchin and his haircut provide some entertainment for the Home and away season, however let's watch real tough men perform in September.

True that.

 

[Bazzar]

Was a bummer but on the possitive side the the Eagles lost 3 elimination finals in a row 02, 03 and 04 then lost to the Swans in the 05 GF then won the flag in 06. Not saying we are the same or the Eagles, but as bad as it is the TIges are on the right track and just needfine tuning.

 

[The Lyncha]

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

We choked again, the pressure and hype the club garners is ridiculous; good and bad. Filthy on our leaders Cotchin and Ellis and Edwards and Deledio, very little poise again.
I thought North should've won by 4-5 goals.

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.

While I agree it's definitely a free.... Why the f*** did they not play to the whistle??? Only themselves to blame for the Roo's being able to rebound as the muppets just stood there

 

[The Falcon Strike]

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

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

It was at the tail end of the HTB decision

 

[Ahern2Boof]

Carlton have won more finals than Richmond in the past three years and haven't even finished in the top eight in that time.

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

I don't think he was talking about the ump...

Just never seen someone drop that in a pressed before

 

[MAGPIE2013]

30 scoring shots to 18. We won all the important stats. They were lucky to get close.

on an unrelated note, good luck to the hawks tomorrow , hate to break it but you ain't gonna win the division this year

 

[SA HAWK]

This.

Could have easily been a 10 goal hiding.

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.
