LOL at the commentary cheer-leading for Richmond in a dead rubber. Pathetic

I was cheering for norf getting another spoon

 

[Donuts_]

I was only 7 in 2003, but my memories of that QF against Sydney are being at home and my older brother (who was normally very tame) going absolutely off his head at the TV.

I realised years later how vomit inducing that game would have been. Finished top the year before and missed the GF, straight sets the year before that, but to be three games clear on top of the ladder and lose yet another Qualifying Final knowing then and there that we’d blown yet another GF berth!?

Thank God for 2004, seriously.

I was there, as I was at the 2002 QF disaster. It was my last year of school.

It was disbelief in that first half, the sick "here we go again" feeling. Hall killed us.

We lifted after the break but it amounted to nothing in the end.

Was horrible walking out knowing we'd likely blown another season.

The MCG DJ playing ‘Wind Of Change’ by Scorpions — a song synonymous with the fall of the Berlin Wall — as Richmond farewell Dusty, Grimes, Shai, Baker, Marlion & Gale.

Richmond certainly looking a lot like the Soviet Union rn.

Richmond are shite again ...and all was right with the world.

 

[Donuts_]

LOL this Richmond love-in is still going.

I wonder if they'll ever get around to showing the Suns' song.

Seriously Weagles winning contested possession but losing by 85 points. How does that work?

View attachment 2089717

I think in the game we do not mention we only lost the contested possessions by about 20. More reflects how much uncontested ball Geelong have had

Wooden Spoon 2004: Richmond

Wooden Spoon 2024: Richmond

2014: we blast Richmond off the park in the elimination final and look like the best team in the universe.

2024: Richmond look like heading for a decade in the wilderness, coming off 3 premierships and a period of amazing success. Meanwhile donuts Hinkley achieves 60% home and away win record!

So he was our only goalkicker?

Looking at it 32 touches is pretty good in a side that did nothing.
Still think he’s a better option than Jed.
Doubt Jed get 32 touches in a Gay Pride march.

the stats look weird because you're right they did have loads more uncontested ball. But it wasn't as though Wet Toast had loads of turnover either. Looks like they were doing circlework. More like a circlejerk with the umps.

Roll on Sunday, this would be the worst first 5 games all year.
Spectators should get free entry.

Gold coin entry, all money raised goes to the sack Ken/Clarkson/Goodwin fund

 

[chiwigi]

The MCG is Geelong's 2nd home ground and they have a training ground with the same dimensions in Geelong.

I like your optimism but.

Have you met Port in a home final!

You forgot Schofield, B Scott, Nicks and some others looking shaky also.

Yeah the farknarkle goes OK. I think he's had his papers signed in June and his form has made it harder to delist him.

I bet Geelong were frustrated because he needs 10% more of something to be really good. Bit more pace, few more goals, bit more fitness to go through the middle. Just not quite there.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Lol 7 on SANFL Crows loss..

“Everyone here is behind Josh”
“Rachelle has won the hearts of the fans”

 

[b0ydman Jr]

Essendon are so dumb they'll probably keep Scott.
Schofield is caretaker, but yeah no chance eagles keep him around.
No idea about nicks. Crows might keep or sack, let's hope their stupid & keep him

 

[longdonkey]

Goebbels would be embarrassed by this propaganda.

I’ll be disappointed if he’s delisted and Jed is kept.

 

[PAFC66]

I was the 03 qualifying final, nearly cried at ht

I've still got a hole in my parents wall from that game.

I was 14

 

[longdonkey]

Jed has a contract for next year and Narkle doesn't. It won't come down to who's better.

 

[PAFC66]

That’s ok I used to cry every time Port lost when I was a kid.
If we lost I wouldn’t watch any footy shows or read any papers until the following Thursday.

Same here.
Now I just bash my kids


Jks

 

[johnnycjay]

The only way GWS can guarantee a qualifying final in Sydney is to lose tomorrow.

What a final day.

Sydney play tonight.

 

[philthy05]

lol just saw the hawks north score.


Fold north already ffs

 

[johnnycjay]

Sydney play tonight.

Sydney have absolutely nothing to do with it.

They’ve rested Heeney I see.

 

[FishingRick04]

A 60-80 loss would bring our % back to 112.4 - Geel's is now 112.2

80-100 loss is 112.22
