Melbourne: what do we make of them

[Oshka]

We are playing our worst football, you’re getting us at a good time when we’re out of form. Would be embarrassing for Richmond to lose this one

But being the underdog, we have a free shot. Hopefully we can take it up to Melbourne and at least give them a contest.

 

[The hands of stone]

This was looking like a fantastic post after that first goal of the last!

Was never in doubt

 

[JHF1870]

Lever, May and Langdon bad trades, delist.

So we're doing this now. We all knew the team was there.

 

[juss]

Reminds me of Richmond 2017 5-0 start where no one rated us to that point either.
They look a very good team so far, some impressive performances but also just getting the key 4 points this early in the year.

Really looking forward to the game next week to see where both teams are at, at this point of the season.

So we're doing this now. We all knew the team was there.

Calm down it’s a Melbourne in joke. Well more an in joke between Gysberts2Bate and I.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Wide kicked 7 in the two’s and Browne 4. Both might be in contention. We can’t go too tall as Tmac and Jackson are doing great too. So idk.

 

[prodigy1311]

Richmond aren’t even in the top 4, would be a nothing win

oh dear!

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

oh dear!

No interest in sides who can’t win away from home

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Underdogs how? We are flat track bullies. Unless you’re saying Richmond aren’t a good side?

 

[LeverPuller]

Think one does. Both probably too unsettling.

May and Fritsch available too apparently- former is automatically in and latter is pretty damn good too. Great problem to have.

 

[prodigy1311]

lol are 12 or something?

 

[JHF1870]

HAHA, yeah I know. I've seen it for the last few pages, poking fun at the criticism at Lever in particular.

 

[rdhopkins2]

They’ve done enough to win which is all you need to do at this time of year.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Who have you beaten this season? Only beat Hawthorn by 29 lmfao

Must admit took me a long time to really rate Richmond that year and I totally get why opposition supporters don't rate us either, and to be honest I'm not completely convinced myself. We've probably had an easy-ish run however it's not who we play but the way we are playing. Our backline is the best I've seen in years maybe ever, our midfield finally starting to look balanced. We've always had good ball winners but have been getting killed on the outside but I think we've really rectified this problem this year. Our forward pressure is up the only chink in our armour is our forward line. Today our connection was really poor hopefully Ben Brown and Weid can fix this. 5-0 is a great start but there's a long way to go, I'm just finding that this is the most I've trusted this team in a long time. I'm actually looking forward to this game to see how we go against the best team in the comp for the past 4 years. It's unfortunate that we won't get to see May vs Lynch.

 

[juice t]

If we pull it if we will be 6-0 for the first time since 1965

The obvious key if it does happen is to not randomly sack Goodwin in late June

 

[LeverPuller]

Yes clearly

 

[JHF1870]

need to win the games in the mid tier and at least show that you can match it with the best sides win or lose.

You can thank Clarko for that shit half

 

[HTPunter]

Rather ironically, the win that brought up their first 5-0 start in however many yonks would also probably have been the most frustrating to watch this year?

Fair credit for responding late but even as a non Dees supporter I was angry at the wasted chances and poor use inside 50.

Bring Weids in for the Tiges and I think it'll help. Don't think they'll get a chance to go 7.10 at 3/4 time and be leading though. If they can calm down after winning the clearance and not bomb it to Balta they should be right in it.

Dees fans think Gawn and Lever are good will be shown up by Balta next week will take Alex Neal Bullen to the cleaners

Dees are shit

Beat no one

Even if we lose to Richmond, I can see is 9-1 after 10 rounds.

I can’t see us losing a game to anyone except Richmond
