Richmond Vs Melbourne, NAB Challenge 3, Etihad Stadium 7.10pm 14/2/14

[Gentlemen]

A fair few Richmond posters didn't mind declaring the wooden spoon for the Lions after last night.

A fair few AFL fans didn't mind declaring the wooden spoon for the Lions after last night.

Granted these are the same AFL fans that follow anything the media spews out.

 

[3rdManUp]

Richmond were at full strength besides J.Roo

lolwat?

 

[RossFC]

"Port vs Crows will be a sellout"

Richmond oval only holds like 10000 people lmao

 

[RuFiO]

apparently a couple of preseason wins for melbourne can get them a few hundred-thousand more members according to dermott.

Why wouldn't it?
They're premiership favourites now.

 

[Vitalogy]

Richmond were at full strength besides J.Roo

What about Maric, Jackson, King, Conca, Grimes, possibly Knights. But yeh we were f**king awful.

 

[Richo83]

I'm guessing here, I reckon Melbourne had the ball 200 more times?

183 times, even when Richmond were losing by 100 points under Wallace it wasn't that big.

 

[Bluelegs]

Practice match; practicing winning

 

[RUNVS]

It will be interesting to see what Melbourne look like when their forward line is playing.

 

[The Bomb]

Where are Richmond at??

If Roos coached them, premiers.

 

[BobHawk]

I just think talking up a side in a pre season game is just going to end in tears. I'll reserve my judgement on all sides until the actual season.

You have to admit this is the best thing to happen to Melbourne in a long time. Good on them and crazy seeing their supporters in total rapture in a NAB game. Good for football.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

If it was round one, l would expect lance uppercut to have already created a thread entitled, 'where are richmond at?'

 

[3rdManUp]

Lost a NAB cup game playing all of our rookies and kids
season over

prepare thy microwaves Richmond

 

[DerpWerls]

Happy for the Dees I hope Roos can turn it around for them this year

 

[La Dispute]

Man crush developing on JKH.

 

[RedLegs#5]

How many new guys in the 26? Cross and Vince look like they'll pay off and then some.

Big turn over, but seeing players who haven't seemed to develop much in years, showing great signs, is the significant difference. Hope it continues all season.

 

[The Bomb]

Roos showed Hardwick how it's done.

 

[Harris Specter]

183 times, even when Richmond were losing by 100 points under Wallace it wasn't that big.

Wonder what tonight's result speaks of Richmond's list. Is it enough to take them to top 4, or even, top 8 for that matter?

 

[RUNVS]

If Hawthorn were as bad as Melbourne last year and the Hawks just won a NAB Cup game you would be excited as well.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

No top 4 for the tiges

 

[Jaeger]

What about Maric, Jackson, King, Conca, Grimes, possibly Knights. But yeh we were f**king awful.

Who cares? It's just about match conditioning.

We won the wooden spoon in the nab series last year. It's even more meaningless this year with no silverware or prize money up for grabs.

 

[Gavin Excell]

No top 4 for the tiges

top 4?

 

[Plugger35]

Good win for Melbourne, they look a lot better already and Kennedy Harris looks like a gun small forward.

Our Rd1 game suddenly looks a lot tougher.

apparently a couple of preseason wins for melbourne can get them a few hundred-thousand more members according to dermott.

I think he meant a few hundred thousand dollars from memberships.

 

[Richo83]

Not top four, certainly top eight. List wise Richmond is good enough to make the eight. And I don't think Richmond will ever lose the disposal count by anything close to 183 touches in the main season.

 

[BACCS]

Hey Melbourne, would you take a 3rd rounder for Bernie back at Adelaide?

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

top 4?

top 4
