AFL Autopsy Rnd 12: Loss to the Tigers

[ScrappyCoCo]

Who's a good gettable key defender?

We still have Reid up our sleeve...the Mckay bros would be a good get.

 

[deeplivid]

Jog on.

Jog on? Grow up. 41 points in 10 minutes. Putrid.

 

[Nicholas61]

Margetts went back to what we have come to expect. That one where Vlaustin elbowed Cox in the back of the head pi55ed me off. Hooker had the chance to put Vlaustin into next week later on I wish he had

We were out of gas - the dam burst open.

 

[Nifft]

We were out of gas - the dam burst open.

And down a couple of players.

I like the kid from GWS, Taylor.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Richmond supporting step brother already telling me that Parish is sh*t because he's "not influential even though he gets lots of touches". I swear to god the average Tigers supporter has absolutely no idea about football.

Disappointing night.

Tell him your dad ****s his mum

 

[Squeaky]

Not fussed about the final result - fair bit of junk time there.
They had a couple of season best games too (Chol & Castagna - we will not see them play like that again... ever)
This team is getting there. Encouraging and at the same time probably gave us a nice wake up call - but I am all in next time we play this mob!!!

The game I grew up watching is so far removed from what we have now: HTB?? What is that now? is it even a thing?
Handballs? Do you propel the ball with the bottom hand or with your fist???

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Gave up over 100 from turnover. Need to get Reid in for his kicking. More composure when kicking forward too, far too much kicking to obvious outnumber.

 

[Nifft]

Tell him your dad fu**s his mum

Unless...

 

[justlookingaround]

Parish will win a Brownlow in the next few years

 

[TheFrenchCut]

We played ok, good signs, but Richmond were better across the full night. The fade out hurt a tad.

Only way I can explain the umpiring is Dean Margetts must be a We Are Essington fan.

 

[Albertross]

The fact that we got in front shows promise. I hoped we would win, but it was more of a pipe dream than reality.

Disappointed with the final margin, but, considering we were behind all night, except for that brief exhilarating moment, the margin was probably where it should be.

The future still looks bight with a few tweaks. Have some current stars plus some future stars in this team. Go Dons!

vlaustin is a dog, he does that stuff most weeks and gets away with it yet flops at the first hint of contact the other way. I said in the game day thread that I’ve never wished injury on a player but I’d love to see this rat get his “bell rung”

 

[MiguelM]

Blown away in the end but we never gave up. You can see the players give a s*** this year, They will be hurting and that is a good thing.

That we had Jones, Stringer, Walla, Ambrose with no impact plus Zakka out and massive early out out in McGrath There is upside.

 

[WindyHillWarrior]

Probably the best 40 point loss I've seen in a decade.

Parish is in beast mode now.

 

[Shane Heard]

They chopped us to ribbons with elite field kicking ..and goal kicking

we still have a lot of work to do

Crowd favourite tonight...Coxy by a mile ..Perth Dons fans love him

How good was it too see Grimes get run over the top of by Tippa - he is a dog as well... ducks and 'wins' a free - Every time!

Well said Heardy - their foot skills were elite. we aren't even close in that department. We showed good ticker though!

 

[BratPack]

Second we lost Pidge was the second we lost the game. But we were in it up to the last 10 minutes with the best side of the past 5 years. That counts for something. We knew we'd be mid table or lower this year, we're still developing. But for the first time since the whole drug thing there might be hope for the future.

 

[Mr Bultitude]

But like geelong, Richmond, when the fu** are they going to join hawfforn and fall off the cliff ?

I cannot wait for it, but before that happens, I'd love to beat this current Richmond side. Behind a finals win it's what I want most. Maybe next year....hoping we can be at the next Dreamtime in Melbourne.

Not here to gloat.

Dont listen to one eyed Richmond nuffs who tell you parish is an accumulator and nothing more.

he’s two-sided with great vision, composure and excellent skills both inside and outside. Huge performance, huge season and he is on track to be one of the elite midfielders in the competition. Wish he was a tiger.

We know

 

[Seb78]

Meh, we played 10 mins of football, ****house for the other 3. A rotation down for the most part, clearly evident in the last 10 mins of the game. McGrath going down early ****** hurt.
A shaddow of what we have achieved over the last month.
Umpires? Well whats the point. Tigers, well other than Lynch and Nank at full strength. Would've been nice to have had Shiel, McGrath, Smith, Caldwell, Draper, Snelling, Wright. But..... **** happens.
Hopefully pidge is ok, we get through the bye and belt Hawkes by 15 goals... why? Cause we can.

That's exactly what Cal Twomey has been telling us he is for the last 6 years.
