Game Day Round 14, 2023: Richmond v St.Kilda

[Joffaboy]

Hardly our worst and playing through a knee injury. Dougal Howard needs to be dropped, and has needed to be for the last month. Unfortunately, who comes in???

Can't defend Doogs on that display. Some real deadwood to clear trade time.

The way we played tonight is same old shit

 

[phantom13]

They have two brownlow medalists a 700 time Coleman medalist, 50 all Aus jackets and they were a class above, in the wet.

I’m shocked…

Seriously, I applaud the effort, I hate losing but the effort was huge, I’m usually the most negative but it’s hard to mad at that loss.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

I can’t understand why Higgi felt he needed to rush that last shot at goal. Take your time cuz.

 

[The Slug]

4 goals up with the rain on its way. Being behind at qrt time was a disgrace by all involved. Fought on well but it was all too late. We should have been able to put ourselves in the tigers position with that start.

 

[saintbill]

Not the best conditions for our style of play, we did well really. Looking forward to hammering them at home in a few weeks.

Love the confidence, but when it was dry their speed was cutting us up. Unfortunately, they are just a better side than us.

We had a crack, but it's all about winning, and dropping a quarter is not on. We are not going to play finals just by having a crack at it.

tried his guts out but man this current midfield is bottom 4.

Sharman looked okay, Dougal can have a month off in my book. Butler was also very good. Hill and NWM tried hard.

Ross is no good anymore, we should 100% let Gresham walk as a FA.

Cotchin and Martin looked like 2017 vintage and Taranto took over that 2nd half.

**** following this basket case of an organisation is tough.

 

[Mowman]

We had crack we tried BIG ****ING DEAL
We lost against a side not in the 8

Hopefully we get a badge for having crack

 

[Joffaboy]

The way we played tonight is same old s**t

Wet weather football, what do you expect jesus. Time for bed mate.

You honestly thought we would win a flag this year? haha lulz

On SM-S908E using BigFooty.com mobile app

You may be correct but still time to move on Dougal and Ross.

 

[NarklesHelmet]

I don’t give a stuff about top 4, I want finals. Dropping one of the hawks/Tiges is scraping by, dropping both is garbage.

Spot on.

A team playing finals doesn’t drop those two games you mention.

Fair enough if people don’t expect us to play finals and therefore don’t care but for those thinking finals is important for us, these two losses (especially considering we had more than decent leads in both) are ****ing annoying.

[Saints43]

Just had a scroll through this game day thread.
There's some people who need to go to the game now and then and get an understanding of what the last line of defence looks like when the opposition are pressing onto them.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

We’re not very good at these close ones are we.

It was a bloody hard slog. Boys never gave up. Shame about the last two. But coming back from 25 down in that weather showed resilience and heart.

 

[The Cobra]

Disappointing loss - our form has been fair to ordinary starting with the Port game

 

[Mowman]

This

Tigers not even in the 8 ffs these games
These games you can’t lose piss weak tonight
25 scoring shots to 15

 

[saintbill]

If we start winning early next season, I am definitely not getting sucked in again

We just don't have the cattle right now.

 

[Saint Shags]

Relax, we had a crack, Tigers too good. Geez mate,

On SM-S908E using BigFooty.com mobile app

We had a crack for a half of footy. And the usual senior blokes didn't want to crack in.

 

[The Slug]

Our win-loss-win-loss form continues. So at least we can look forward to rolling the lions next week and then losing to the Eagles

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

You honestly thought we would win a flag this year? haha lulz

On SM-S908E using BigFooty.com mobile app

Nah but we will finish middle of the ladder while changing nothing about the team. So yeah lulz for us supporters

 

[DougalHoward]

I want to see Cooper in the 22 for the rest of the year
