Richmond are also on another level.
With all the positive talk about the Hawks.
**** Sam Mitchell.
**** Sam Mitchell.
Looks like a training drill for them though. I'd imagine most teams would be this ruthless with the way Richmond are playing.
teams reflect their coaches. Freo don’t have any killer instinct and are happy to be middle of the field and don’t really want to play finals.Otherwise, there is no way we lose to Carlton, Essendon, Hawthorn and Geelong
In Hawthorn, I see a team that wants to win it all

Begrudgingly I agree completely.
It’s diabolical what Mitchell has been able to achieve with that group and in such a short amount of time.
We can only watch on and weep.

The thing about Hawthorn is that their on paper talent isn’t that great. I’d rate ours well above theirs. Instead they’re getting it done, and we’re failing. What does that say about us?

It’s because we don’t have enough mongrel in us. They have it in spades and with a rabid dog Coach how can they lose?
The only bruiser we have who throws his weight around is Treacy. The rest are “Mr nice guys”.
One player in an entire team won’t get it done in modern AFL.

You’re not going to get any mongrel out players when the coach is inarticulate and shy
I feel like we are over coached, too many players scared to take the game on as the role they are given doesn't allow for it. Hawks are playing with talent and dare, they don't mind making errors as they know next time it will come off and they will have a shot at goal. They think score where I feel like our mindset is restrict.
Lol that's a Waterman free any day, stop trying to be 'neutral' boys.
If that was Amiss kicking at goal he would’ve lined up straight and kicked a drop punt. Waterman just snapped it as most forwards would
Reid is currently such a crap player outside of his highlights.
He's horrendous at some basic parts of the game.

Reid been a net negative on this game so far
Reid ****en sucks, do something you shit ****
I'm somewhat scared of the umpiring in our game against Port if us winning means no Collingwood or Carlton in FinalsDwayne is trying to hard to manifest a Carlton win here .
I’d say SEN are shitting it if there a finals series with no big Melbourne sides

I don’t think it’s that simple - we also can’t afford a period of regression when the team will have to learn a new game plan when our core is at a point we can be contending now. Would be great if we could somehow get new experienced assistants strong in what he is weak in.
I wonder if the issue is that there’s so much value put on the process and the system that any creativity and problem solving skills on the field has just been trained out of them.
It feels a bit like the Ross years, the emphasis on playing your role and giving effort. What needs to happen now though, is knowing when to go beyond your roles together when the game is on the line and taking responsibility for dragging the team over the line if the box is too slow to respond to what’s on the ground.
You should be more than somewhat scared
Be interesting to see how this game gets umpired if it gets close (think it will)
If the umps start riding Carlton against WC at home you know well and truly the AFL are on the take

Yep the brat’s picked this game to play as bad as he possibly can.
Yep West Coast have no interest in winning this one.
Maybe we shouldn't have booed him
