Yep and as usual handled himself superbly despite his obvious disappointment and frustration. On a side note wasn't it great to see Clarko and Bolton at the game sitting together - probably in part supporting Fages...

We were 5-17 last year. Let's avoid throwing the toys out of the cot for another week.

After a loss, I hate blaming umpires but it seemed like every blatant error last night directly resulted in a goal to Richmond or cost us a goal.

But it’s ok for many others to overrate other players in the side?
If you rate the players the coaching staff rate then it makes more sense than rating the ones with obvious deficiencies.

McStay with the equal most goal assists....
Dyl, when things go awry in a critical area (like blowing set shot after set shot and some relatively simple snaps) , I think incidences like team-mates colliding assume much greater import than usual. If we win the match, we'd probably be lauding our guys for their desire and endeavour to compete.
I don't agree with your comments about most of our backline being overawed either. Most of the time, the ball was coming in fast to opponents who seemingly had acres of space to work in, partly due to missed opportunities at the other end, partly due to our mids/ half forwards pushing up too high and also partly due to some amazingly unlucky bounces of the ball around the centre of the ground in broken play.....which inevitably seemed to favour the Tigers. Add into that, the fact that the Tigers had 17 opportunities to kick the ball in and got their transition right from this source so regularly and I believe any backline would have struggled to contain their opponents.
You would have thought so but there was a village missing three of their idiots last night
Kiss-cam is flat out embarrassing shit. All this American style game entertainment is horrible and needs to left out.

His thigh was strapped from the start so gotta figure there was at least a niggle going in. And early during the game he spent a bit of time on the bike during his rotations which isn’t a regular thing and can be a sign of keeping the muscle warm to protect an injury.
Devastated for him - he has repeatedly stated that he wants to repay the club for their support by playing finals footy. He’s not going to feel good watching from the sidelines next week.
Continually putting it on 2 males was ermmm.... Interesting. Think the entire thing is just cringe, charlie motorbike thing, kiss cam the dancers, All rubbish. She is trying to hard and just jumbles her words.
Yes that's the way l saw it l was in lower deck 24 and it was obvious to me Lions lost game and Richmond didn't win it. Everything went Richmond's way and nothing went Lions way.
My favourite part of the night was telling bogan Richmond supporters although they won they ultimately lose because they have to go home to Victoria.
PS And l'm a Victorian.
I know this is only angle, but how anyone can say it definitively it the ground is kidding themselves.
Also, if you watch that stager Grimes eyes before Hipwood makes contact, he was always going to go to ground with the slightest touch:
And more garbage by Richmond's 3 extra players:

Oh well, it surely can't be any worse next weekend.
Even more incredulous that Hardwick didn't think Grimes dived:
Yeah, Damien, the game is hard enough when the opposition blatantly cheat with staging, throwing and the list goes on.

Unfortunately that ridiculous reversal early set the tone for the rest of the night.
50/50 call?.......give it to Richmond.
Can't see it properly/ out of position and have to guess?......guess in favour of Richmond.
Dusty involved in a contest?......rule in favour of Dusty.
That's my last rant about the officiating . Needed to get it out of my system though because you can bet that the AFL won't fess up to any umpiring howlers.
