Richmond v GWS

[wayne]

I think people are forgetting that GC Suns are the easy beats, not the Giants. We got the 4 points, it was soaking wet, I won't be watching the replay in a hurry but a win is a win.

Those saying to forget about finals.... Essenscum lost to Melbourne two weeks ago, I don't think the Bumbers will be writing off their finals chances after that game.

Another terrible performance by our team IMHO. 12 goals to GWS 11 goals to Richmond. That to me is simply disgraceful. We have been terrible the last 3 weeks. GWS will be well and truly past us in the next 12 to 18 months with their talented youth. We have to many ordinary players in our club. Only good part about today was the 4 points, pity we werent good enough to lift our percentage. Thats what we really needed the points and the percentage.

I think that needs some perspective ramps. it was 12.2 to 11.20, so the chances were created, just not taken.

Sure bad kicking is bad football, but if in the past when we have had narrow losses like that, plenty have jumped on here bemoaning how the scoreboard flattered us.

It was really only their good kicking for goal and our bad kicking for goal that prevented a large win

Win or lose, wouldn't stress abt finals, we are poo

would think thats a perfect summary of the RFC right now

[Jackstar is back again]

reckon Dimma knows that as well

i think your being too kind Ramps.

That was IMO a disgraceful effort from the RFC. Arguably one of the worst ive seen in years

We have gone back to the Tigers of old the past 3 weeks. We were seduced after wins against Hawthorn but the reality is when the going get tough we crawl into our little shells yet again. Blues will demolish us in Rd 18. Why? Because they know we are weak as pee and we have players who aren't prepared to put their bodies on the line. Like Lethal said crack the egg and they are all soft inside.

Finals were near impossible after last week, now i can safely say its over

We are so poo we wont make finals

[Jackstar is back again]

desperately need Grimes and Foley back

Game over and we won.
I'll take the four points and that's it move on. We won at least. Seems hollow to me.
Not an effort that was worthy of a finals aspirant.

Mentally we have switched off the in the last two weeks. We have got through the tough end of the draw and have switched off mentally now that we are going through some less difficult opponents.

Conditions admittedly have not helped in the last two weeks but it was almost de ja vu to last week. Yes we won more contested possessions and more inside 50's and I suppose if we kicked straighter we might have been talking about getting a win and some % on Carlton and St Kilda.

Agree, could hardly raise a "YAY" dont think they should have sung the song, they didnt deserve it, they shouldve been thanking their lucky stars instead
Since quarter time they outscored us 10.2.62 to 7.18.60. Alot in that I suppose and some of what I said earlier. Just glad we got the four points but nothing to crow about.
What was worrying was we almost went back into our shells when they got to within 6 points in the last quarter. Nothing special. Let's move on. Just an uninspiring effort and an uninspiring game.

I hope the bye freshens up the side both mentally and physically because the last few weeks have shown that we are possibly starting to fatigue and crack and going back to bad habits and may need some time to recharge the batteries and rejuvinate the mind.

Wrong. We have had a dream injury run.

Yeh just like melbourne were in going to be in front of us according to the experts a year ago.

Getting that four points sucked I wish I was a Essendon supporter instead, their a form side and not dropping games ot any crap sides.

That Patton kid will be a gun for GWS and Cameron already is. They have great young mids like Coniglio etc. They are well on their way at GWS.

It was good to listen to Dimma's interview.  I think that our blokes are a bit run down after a tough start to the season and they have fought out each game hard and given their all, they need the bye.  Freo had come back from a bye when we played them.  The Giants played a pretty decent effort in the wet and...as I predicted the umpires were gushing all over them.  Batch needs a long hot shower to wash the stink off of him after being violated by that umpire, and probably some therapy.
