Richmond vs North Melbourne @ Etihad, Round 8, 2018

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

I thought winning a flag would cure me of these nervous wreck moments late in games where I sit and pray we don't do anything Richmondy.

It appears it hasn't.

But a massive Phew.

[big tone]

I’m not an umpire basher but today was disgraceful. I wish the club would come out and say something. Surely they are concerned with the numbers this year. It’s as clear as the nose on your face.

Vlastuin BOG for mine. He was sensational.

A really good team effort. (Except Butler)

[Tiger Khosh]

Cotch vlastuin caddy best for mine nank and Rance were huge that last qtr.

Butler needs a run in the vfl and think Stengle is deserving of a call up.

Lost contested possessions comfortably again today obviously big reason is that dusty got none of it but Prestia is also a big loss to us in the midfield.

Another strong win from the Tigers against the impressive Kangaroos. Richmond conceded contested possessions 148-167, but won forward half intercepts (31-19), forward 50 tackles (18-8) and time in forward half (56 percent).

Ben Brown dive for a free kick, should be reported

[Slipper]

I thought we looked really tired today, physically in the last qtr, but mentally from halftime.

I felt it was the 3 games in 13 days catching up on us.

So a good win for the boys.

Hopefully we catch back up on the 7 day break before West Coast

Brilliant Captain's performance. Cotch deserves enormous credit for his game. Good games from Caddy, Lambert and Vlastuin as well.

Poor crowd really. I didn’t go. I hate Etihad, can’t stand the place. Did the tiger faithful show up or were many like me?

The Etihad crowd was described on the AFL website by Ashley Browne as a "healthy mother's day crowd".

In short, a typical c##p turnout for a North game anywhere.

[WilliamPowell]

Just under 30k was the crowd. More Tigers than N0rt supporters

Have to say umpire number 11, Curtis Deboy is the worse ump in the comp.

And that is an achievement not to be understated

A reminder for the media and Norf fans of where both clubs sit playing list wise  . So much for those "young" and "inexperienced" Roos  .

Ben Brown dive for a free kick, should be reported

Just don't get Brown, leading the Coleman, but super slow, only gives one effort and leads with the arms fully extended and dives as soon as contact is made.
