Where was that second half 'fight' from North Melbourne in last weeks game when their season was still well and truly alive and finals still a possibility?
Typical North response with nothing on the line. As for the Tigers though, genuinely disappointing. Were widely thought (including by me) to win tonight but couldn't handle such expectations against an ordinary North side.

Yet if we won you and others would've bagged the club for winning a meaningless game and finishing 9th.

One positive for us, the duds all had shockers... hopefully it sticks in the minds of the coaches when it comes time to thin the list. Jackson, White, Edwards and Farmer play like they're going backwards while the rest of the team seem to be going forward.
...Yet we beat you last week. Ouch.
And?
Jackson probably cost you the game with stupid, ill disciplined crap.
I like Richmond, it wasn't intended as a cheap shot.

No one is going to defend Jackson. Hopeless footballer.
Not really. 15th to 9th would of been some pretty genuine improvement.
15th to 12th just doesn't sound as good...

We've been hearing for the last month that all these wins are meaningless, but once they lose it's because "they can't handle expectations".
**** this site. Seriously.

Yeah, you say that now but I highly doubt that.

North had nothing on the line...
But the Tigers couldn't handle expectations...
**** me, talk about contradicting yourself. Which one is it?
And as for the 2nd half fight, maybe it wasn't 'fight', it was just playing ordinary opposition so North were able to win. Where as last week, they were playing quality opposition...think before you post...
That second bit makes no sense. North were paying $1.60 so obviously they were 'widely thought' to win. The only 'expectation' for the Richmond to win was for them to go out on a high, but that would matter very little to the club in the grand scheme of things. Both clubs would be fairly happy with the game.

Oh really? LOL. 2-3 years ahead development wise?
Let's look at the actual statistics rather than uneducated Bigfooty propaganda at how all three sides stacked up last weekend (cannot include Essendon to this weekends statistics due to the BYE).
North Melbourne - Average Age: 24years 224days , Total Games: 1976 (http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/games/2011/121520110827.html)
Richmond - Average Age: 23years 346days , Total Games: 1515 (http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/games/2011/011420110828.html)
Essendon - Average Age: 23years 322days , Total Games: 1798 (http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/games/2011/051320110828.html)
Wow... 2-3 years in front... despite having the younger side on the park for the majority of the season and being in the top 8 for 22 of the 24 weeks of the H&A season (compared with the 0 from North)...
Continued delusional alleged facts from North fans who are probably getting a little frustrated finishing 9th with pretty much the same list of players whilst others are overtaking them...
Don't worry though, you can have your home and away win. It is really relevant now and just automatically makes you the superior side. I am going to use this same toddler mentality by now suggesting we are superior to Geelong, West Coast, St Kilda, Sydney and a few others going by H&A results this season.
Don't forget Graham- was absolutely hopeless tonight. Had so many chances to grab the ball overhead and on the ground and was not up to it. Time to offload this guy as well.

Oh gee, I can't help but think someone is missing from that side.
You know, that 36 year old, 350 gamer with red hair?

How is age the only measure of who is and who is not rebuilding you deluded fool. Most of our age and experience is in the backline whereby Pratt, Rawlings and possibly Firrito are all retiring. Meanwhile Harvey makes up 33 years and 320+ games of experience.
Your post is uneducated propoganda and the definition of bigfooty- basing everything on who has the youngest and oldest team.

Christ I'm sick of "average games/age" stats. First, they should be medians, not mean averages. Mean averages are wildly distorted by extreme values; i.e. veterans.Oh really? LOL. 2-3 years ahead development wise?

Second, they mean bugger-all. They are the bottom-of-the-barrel stat for supporters who can't point to anything better, like wins. "Oh, but we're an average of 28 days younger than you." If that was all it took to win premierships, my Under-14s would be a shoo-in for the 2021 flag.

Ben Cunnington was impressive yesterday.
Had his best game for the club. Showed signs of what's to come. The great thing is he will be going into this pre season injury free which will be a first for him.
