Autopsy Roast & toast vs Melbourne and changes for round 21 vs Western Bulldogs

[SDMTiger4]

He's fallen off a cliff. Edwards-esk but with a contract

Co-captain last year was a strange decision, then even worse this year. But both decisions outdone by the contract.

 

[aislegi]

No one sugar coat that. It was a poor effort by us, full of simple errors that should not be made in the afl and just stupidity utter stupidity.
It was embarrassing

We weren't good enough for long enough. As soon as we stopped playing the physical, confrontational style that worked well in the first two-and-a-half quarters and let Melbourne play their favoured brand of bruise-free, ring a ring o' roses handballs, we were done.

Would love to see Bauer come in next week, However without a VFL game is unlikely. Cumberland should have played today no doubt.

Bring Cumberland in on last week's form. And Bauer

 

[SpineDr]

I could think of nobody better suited to be captain than Lynch.
We miss his leadership and mongrel on the field and it shows.

Baker.

 

[beema limapep]

I've had it with Graham.

 

[fargothegreat]

I truely hope he is told he will get games on form. If a kid is better they would play him.

There's no way Grimes gets a game ahead of any of Balta, Young or Gibcus next year on current form.

Unfortunately not many clubs will come forward about the umpires, As much as I would love to see it.

That may be the case but given that Richmond have been continually disadvantaged for years now, we need to make a stand. It's costing the AFL money as supporters are not turning up and disenfranchising supporters. Richmond have been pioneers on many facets of the game, why not on this as well. It's not as though it's a one-off thing. It could be argued that the umpiring did not influence the final result, but Demons received vital frees when Richmond were poised to take a match winning lead, frankly I'm sick of it.

Our midfield cant defend which gives up way too many easy goals. Martin and Bolton dont defend, Cotchin, Prestia, Hopper and Taranto are too slow. We give up way too many easy goals through the middle that kill us.

I turned it off when broad got his head taken off and the shemans got another gift

its just not worth it

 

[SplintWhisky]

Everyone needs to chill the **** out. What todays game showed was that we are literally a competent forward with presence from challenging the Top 4 clubs. The fact we were even able to score basically 100 points with a Jack Riewoldt on basically 1/4 of a leg is incredible.

 

[NZ_Tiger]

Van Rooyen would of been handy. Taking flankers with good picks and then talls in the supplementary draft if shit recruiting.

We just hit 100K members. We're not worrying the AFL.

 

[banana_bus]

Jeez you guys love to flock here after a loss.

We were the better team for 2.5 qtrs. Umps kept them in it and Max won it for them. Our defence was deplorable all game. Moving Balta out of there was always going to backfire, as we all predicted here during the week.

Loss hurt more than any this season.

Taranto wasn't up to it today, was a liability in the middle, second grabbed everything.

 

[Pattiger]

Have not done my votes yet lol

Is there a chook raffle happening in the back line- no of players looking around whilst a Melbourne player takes an uncontests mark !

 

[Hoos]

Also, so Grimes goes out, so who comes in???? He holds his spot IMO.

Are you serious? He's been terrible for weeks. He should go out for Brown. It doesn't matter anyway because he can't be dropped because he's ****ing captain.

It will be Nank and Short in for Miller and Banks.

Grimes and a few other senior guys will continue to escape the axe for a few more weeks yet.

would be on 150k if they didnt change the rules to stop us

 

[tropicaltiger]

Pathetic that we couldn't stop Petty.

Not sure what game you were watching but our backline already went to s**t when Balta was playing down back. Petty made him look like a rookie today. It was pathetic

big David astbury would have been handy today

Everyone needs to chill the * out. What todays game showed was that we are literally a competent forward with presence from challenging the Top 4 clubs. The fact we were even able to score basically 100 points with a Jack Riewoldt on basically 1/4 of a leg is incredible.

Lynch wont help our midfield. We got smashed in there. We were saved by Dustys first 2 and a half quarters, the last quarter and a half, no forward is helping us when the ball lives at the other end of the ground.

 

[Crumpet_avenger]

I've had it with Graham.

Sex?

 

[cho cho]

Meanwhile things like racism in football are swept under the carpet. The AFL investigation into Hawks racism claims are nothing but a joke. Nothing to see here. The investigators didn't even interview those accused at Hawthorn. Its not only AFL footy its everything in modern society. Its all geared to making more profit. Service or quality of goods no longer exist. Just hype and bullshit.

I also feel the Afl cherry picks racism stories to suit certain fairy tale stories and shuns others ......they give 0 F&**^ks if there's no solid cash involved its sad..Everything really is corrupt to the core the whole system needs re evaluating its all geared for money and it can't keep going in this direction...

Banks should remain in the side for the rest of the season. Nank and Short will return that's a given.

 

[tugga]

The decision was done by the playing group and coaches.

Hardwick would have signed off on it.

 

[smasha]

Billy Corgans Tiger Army!

 

[harimal12]

Tom Lynch will not be our answer next year, 31 and had a heap of injuries plus nearly a year out of the game.Who plays in the forward line?

We have Cumberland,Baeur,Dusty,Lynch forward line.
