No Oppo Supporters OPPOSITION OBSERVATION XXXIX

[Nostradumbass]

remember when we got pick 1 for finishing last but the cfl gave carltoon pick 1 instead ?

Then we ended up with a three time premiership captain and Brownlow medalist

 

[biaseddustyfan]

That club need to just **** off, how many number one picks and priority picks have the had? ****ing joke of a club

Saints, norf n gold coast should all be folded and players split around the league with Tassie team getting a few extras

 

[Groupie_]

Then we ended up with a three time premiership captain and Brownlow medalist

thats why we win at all costs today

fk pick 1 with no standout

 

[Lsta062]

is this our worst season ever if we loose today?

Yes, we’ve never finished a season with 2 wins since inception. This even includes the pre-1908 days of the VFA from what I remember

 

[Groupie_]

if we had tanked games like people want to do today we wouldve ended up with trengrove and kruezer and not had a dynasty

whoever we take at pick 2 will become the next dusty. Dusty will bless our draft hand before he heads off back to god land

 

[voorhees]

north are playing for a priority pick..
comically useless

 

[tigersnag]

Cats fixture guy "I've given us a golden draw and we'll finish the year at home against West Coast"

if we finish last we should ask for a pp on the basis that its our worst season in history w/l wise

 

[Handsuper47]

We've been terrible this year, take the rose tinted specs off, we've won 2 games out of 22.

the specs are off, what I'm saying is you need to look at the game beyond W/L especially in lean years

 

[Truetiger]

Cats fixture guy "I've given us a golden draw and we'll finish the year at home against West Coast at home"

wait for the complaining if they get a home final, we want it at abcd park. Remember it’s a Home state final as per the rules of the game.

when you look back at the history of the Richmond Football club's history there will be a picture of louie for 2023/24

Yes nothing to see here…….again.

 

[Handsuper47]

looks like eagles are playing for a priority pick too lol

 

[Truetiger]

Should beat Carlton last week, tanked that.

 

[hognogger]

Our tanking attempt is going to be foiled by those other worthless ****ing tankers...

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

Was that Kreuzer and Cotch? I think we won

 

[Lsta062]

how many times have we had 3 wins in a season ?

For the equivalent of less than 4 wins, we have:

VFA
1890: 3 wins, 1 draw
1891: 2 wins, 3 draws
1893: 2 wins, 4 draws
1896: 3 wins, 0 draws
1897: 2 wins, 1 draw


VFL/AFL
1912: 3 wins, 0 draws
1917: 3 wins, 1 draw
1953: 3 wins, 1 draw
1960: 2 wins, 2 draws

So losing today would put this season on the bottom for both our VFA and VFL/AFL days.

I don’t really care about the VFA days though because we’re currently not in the same league tbh. Only care about post-1908.

Winning today will put us level with our 1912 and 1960 seasons in terms of win-loss points.

Only thing is that our percentage in 1912 was 64.7% and our percentage in 1960 was 66.7%. We’re currently sitting at 63.4%, so it’s possible that we might still have our worst VFL/AFL season ever even if we beat Gold Coast.

Is it worth beating Gold Coast to avoid this and miss out on pick 1 as a result? Not too sure tbh, but this is definitely not a record we want.

 

[Lsta062]

Wtf West Coast. On track to lose by 200 points again

 

[Grechy]

if we had tanked games like people want to do today we wouldve ended up with trengrove and kruezer and not had a dynasty

People don't get it these days. Tanking for number 1 rarely works.

 

[El Duderino]

look at these norf campaigners tanking lol. I wonder if any afl or media lickspittle will mention it, like they do us when we lose.

 

[aislegi]

Is it time to scrap the bouncing the ball rule? This campaigner from Hawthorn has taken possession of the ball about 49 metres out, run to the pocket, and run back infield to improve the angle and kick from 25 metres out - without taking a bounce! Even if he’d run in a straight line, he’d have gone 24 metres but, given the arc he’s gone on, I think he’s probably run over 30 metres!

 

[Lsta062]

How weak are West Coast? Probably the least resilient team in the competition. We probably showed more resilience in our 2-win season than they are right now

An absolute abomination right now. Hung onto Simpson way too long and this is the result. It's also why you need to be careful when you back the coach in for too long cause it can also go the other way and destroy the fabric of your club.
