noah cumberland is my new favourite richmond player

 

[TheMcManusNose]

Well we didn't deserve to win so this is a pretty good outcome really

 

[Fyfe! The Musical]

Both teams agreed at 3QT they didn’t want to do Roaming Brian and engineered this result.

 

[Silversurfer]

Entertaining with a comical finish. We sucked but they sucked more.

 

[Scham]

Lacked a bit of class over the 22. Had plenty of it, won enough ball, generated enough inside 50, backline held up well despite Ryan being a bit down and Pearce making a handful of clangers, but at the end it was our usual problem of not enough class up forward. We simply don't have a top 4 forwardline.

 

[King Tenz]

That sucked, why are we no good anymore? What happened to our team?

 

[Yeti]

Positives
- 2 Points

Negatives

• Commentary barracking for Richmond
• Fyfe injures
• Midfield lack of goal sense
• Glaring lack of talent in the forward line
• Alex Pearce costing us 3 goals
• Have the weekend to be sad about the result

 

[Mr Cheese]

That was a hardcore game. Probably should've lost, but had our chances.

Looked much better with Colyer on. Speed kills and I think we've been slow since Fyfe came back. Not saying he shouldn't come in (though that decision looks out of our hands), but the balance has been off and we've not been cutting up teams with gut running, speed, and pressure.

Good experience for the young bucks, the old bull was great in the second.

Utter dross. We were lucky to get a draw but I am disappointed to not get a win after all our pressure at the start of the last quarter. We are lucky that Lynch wasn't playing but at the same time we win that with Lobb.

Melbourne will kill us next week.

[Stinky Lomax]

Well, we don’t have to worry about percentage when it comes to ladder position.

So that’s good.

 

[Arkhitect]

The selection committee can go and give themselves an uppercut.

Logue rucking? Lack of marking power with Lobb out?

Meek should have played.

 

[Tundrawolf]

I thought our older guys let us down a bit with turnovers, Mundy, Walters and Ryan.

I think we stood up well to the pressure in the last.

 

[Sumwun]

Richmond lost it by abandoning the short kick out of defence in the last quarter. We lost it by not taking advantage of 80% time in forward half in the last quarter.

 

[Square Peg]

Lost it at the selection table. Except we didn't lose it. So drew it at the selection table.
So many changes needed.

 

[MadMundy]

That game was shit but that ending more than makes up for it

What a brain dead ****ing moron that shit's gonna follow him for the rest of his career and deservedly so

 

[Yeti]

Your campaigners are ******* s**t. You’ll get absolutely jizzed on next week.

Delicious

 

[Tonga Bob]

We drew a Tiger Liger.

 

[Mudd]

Our team is cooked, can't see us beating any top 4 sides.

Walters has had a great career with us but the next time he steps onto the field should be hopping into the back of a ute on grand final day.

Brayshaw didn't have a great night but we may as well get it over with and make him captain tonight, Fyfe is done.

As much as I hated it, we needed a game like that. Elite pressure etc.
I reckon if AB took that mark we’d have won.

Forwadline was bad. All of them.
Shultz and Freddie missing when we need them most again. They weren’t helped by our inside 50s but. Just up and unders or kicked to Richmond’s spare.

Back line solid minus a few bad errors. Defended a lot of chances. Cox is elite.

Midfield faded in and out. Darcy poor. 1 mark again.

Poor selection. Needed another tall if we’re just going long all the time. Darcy isn’t marking the ball, no lobb.. So needed more

 

[Midnite65]

Well we didn't deserve to win so this is a pretty good outcome really

We dominated the last quarter and should have won by 2-3 goals except we kept bombing it in and had no forward line

 

[wakojako]

Walters has had a great career with us but the next time he steps onto the field should be hopping into the back of a ute on grand final day.

That made me laugh, solid roast

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Hard to be mad pinching two points we probably dont deserve.

Young was ****ing incredible, unbelievable game from him.

Look, we are clearly fading a bit as the year goes with the age of the team and lack of experience. So many players buckling under the pressure as younger sides do. This is all good experience for the next few years.

Clearly need to find some forward talent though. Really really really hope Amiss comes on well next year.
