Ok people since Thursday all I have read is negative threads and posts about the team we supposedly love. Yes we were poo, yes the players let us down, yes the game plan failed and yes we have deserved the backlash of the whole football community. I even had my 20 cents worth earlier.
Carro has had her say and it was all true, Browny has had his say and again all true, March has had his say, now lets move on. If we continue to focus on negatives all week we have no chance of even taking the field against the Cats.
I hope the Tigers can go down to the Cattery feeling like they can win and not feeling like the world is against them and they dont have a chance. As I am sitting here watching the Melbourne v's Roos game I can't help but think up to this point and with two other games to go that we were the worst performed team of the round.
But hey lets back this club in and give them a shot against the Cats, who knows with the changes coming into the side we might just cause an upset. :gotigers

While some of the supporters comments have been over the top, it is the players that need to move on first.
The players are the ones that continually remind the supporters that they simply cannot handle the pressure cooker of a major game of football that requires competition, if not a win.
So once the players move on, like Carlton appear the be doing and the Hawks and the Bulldogs who were all down the ladder with us back in 2002, then we all can.
Until then, people outside the club don't respect it and the loyal supporter base Richmond enjoy has to put up with the ridicule every time we dish up efforts like Thursday night.
(A nice way to start the turn around would be a win against the Cats, I know it would help me move on :pray).
-
I'll move on when they can get a win on the board.
I predict them to this week,go down in he same insipid style and do u want to know why?
Because they are mentally weak and physically un-intimidating.
I bet some of them will be vomiting before the game this week,out of raw fear.

I think it is a case of "you had to be there." I'm normally a very positive person. Im not so angry anymore or embarrassed like I was on Friday, but at the moment I have absolutely no confidence in my team, they are going to have to restore it, and not just by winning a game, even if they fluke the cats one. I want to see them play like a team, kick goals that they mean, not trick shots or long shots that go through by luck, hit a target on the chest (one that has a black and yellow jumper on).
Thats the first time I've ever come home from a game and hated my team.
A lot of good loyal people feel this way, the club have done it and the club has to fix it. They have our memberships, we all went in pumped up and confident and proud, they didnt.

I find swearing out loud helps.

As a respectable mother of 4, i keep all my swearing on the inside, I will probably die of an anuerism(sp?) lol
But even feeling the way I do, I have no intention of joining the bandwagon of Wallace head hunters. There is nothing to be gained from giving him the flick before the end of the year, there is no replacement and I reckon we will make the finals :pray
I love the way the smell of blood brings the hyenas back from the wilderness to continue the yapping and whining they stopped last year when the beast appeared to be strong

I had various people want to stir me about the result and I just said very firmly "nope, I'm not talking footy" and refuse to say anything else. They got the hint.

As a team leader of 16 people at work I can attest to GR12 that nobody deliberately goes to work to do a bad job. However you look at daily productivity outputs and quality outputs as well as skills and try to combine all 3 to try and get the most out of each employee even though it may mean moving the employee on to another area. Thus we try to create a proactive working environment that uses its resourses effectively that gets the best results possible. Result helps business and employee.
At Richmond too many bad days at work equates to selection the following week or perserverance with a certain approach and tactic which then equates to many more bad days at work in subsequent weeks and a reactive work environment where people who make decisions make them based on previous experience or do not have the gonads to make any decision at all. Natural progression will not occur without proper nurturing and an effective learning environment with solid role models to follow.

Certainly have to restore it

Looking forward to this Saturday actually, sitting down on the couch and seeing how we react as a team.
1 game down, 21 to go.

I got an email from a guy I know who is a Melbourne supporter
A real cocky bastard normally
He was genuinely sorry for me as a supporter
Must have known by my very quiet Friday, where I hardly said boo to anyone, that it had taken its toll
Really appreciated that email.
Was nice knowing that not everyone was laughing at us AGAIN!
We will all recover and go on to better days :thumbsup

I'll move on when they can get a win on the board.
Yeah same.
It's hard to move on when it was the most pathetic effort of the weekends 8 games by a long way and we're still copping it Monday morning.

I'm still copping it Monday night. Sort of glad I was on night for the week but the bluebaggers left newspaper cuttings from the weekend everywhere.
Saturday got this one from a skunk.

That is an oldie, first linked to Freo last year. how about this one:-
Week one - get touched up by Carlton. Tell Gary March not to panic, it's only round 1. Go to solarium Tues, Thurs and Friday.
Week Two - get touched up by the Cats to the tune of 163 points. Remind Gary March that I only started our five year plan after being there for three years so we're only two years into it. Solarium Mon, Weds, Friday. God I have a healthy glow...
Week Three - run off our legs by the Dogs. I wonder if Rocket will lend me his coaching manual as we are premiership teammates - he is pasty white though, he needs the artificial love of heat lamps and a sunbed. Solarium Tues and Thursday. Hopefully I can fit one in Saturday morning. Hell, I've worked hard this week deflecting speculation about my job, I'll treat myself to an hour session and facial on Sunday arvo too.
Week 4 - god, it doesn't matter who it is, we are getting pumped by everyone like a 17 y/o skinny white kid in an American Prison. 0-4 start to the year could be worse, we could have invested our long term future in a 30 y/o ice addict with dodgy hammy's. Gary's stating to get cranky with me as Buddy and Roughie keep kicking goals for Hawthorn while JON, Tambo and De-lids dish out more turnovers than the cook at the pancake parlour. Did find some Terry time though. Got my tan on, on Mon, Tues, weds, thurs. Hutchy can't find me in there. It's gold. Tan looking awesome heading into winter, they're all jealous of me.
Week 5 - - am not happy with Gary. He told me to get my "leather faced @ss out of his club". It's only one more loss in the scheme of things and we are Richmond so he should be used to it, as should our membership cutting up filth supporters. And he is just jealous because he can't pull off the tan like I can. Had to clean out my office on Thursday so I couldn't get my tan out, but it was the only day I missed. Jordy McMahon helped me pack the office and said I looked awesome. I love him, he's a great kick and a really neat packer...but when I asked him to go and find my reef oil. He couldn't put his hands on it. Sound familiar. Maybe I could get my job back in the media. Or I can wait until Sheeds dies and get a job at Richmond. They'll take any old quick fix on, Mark Graham, Troy t. Simmonds, Nathan Brown, ben cousins...I'll sell them my five year plan. That'll give me plenty of tanning money

There are plenty of examples of teams being flogged in round 1 and end up having a great year.Sydney lost round 1 in 1996 by 110 points and made the GF.Back in 2002 we flogged Collingwood in round 1 and they made the GF.
Even in 2006 after a huge hiding by the Bulldogs in the opening round we recovered to be in the 8 after round 14.
I know last week was bitterly disappointing but I have decided to keep the faith.
