Now we're out :(,
Who would you like to see win the flag? BEARS , DOGS
Who don't you want to see win the flag? PUSSIES/DANGERFLOG, TOFFS, ADELWOOD in that order (not counting an unlikely run from BUMBLERS or COKEHEADS should they make it)
From most hated to least hated and reasons.
Melbourne - these blokes remind me of us so I can’t hate them now.
lions - 1, Dogs - 2
every other team makes me sick, especially the druggos, melbourne and cats
Probably Dees.
Dogs had one lately.
Absolutely effing hate the Cats. Port and Brisbane too. But I hate the Cats the most. Omg I hope they make the GF and the Dees beat them by a few points and Dangerfield + Hawkins + Cameron all do ACLs.

Dees - for Neil DaniherSame for me Julz.
Then the Dogs or GWS
Def not the Cats
Hope they all fall off the face of the planet. Wont be watching any of them.
The game is so altered that its hard enough to watch my own team no way will i be watching any other team playing keepings off.
I couldn’t stomach systematic cheats winning a premiership so Essendrugs can get stuffed.Apologies WP granted I guess I probably should’ve worded it better and I can’t actually remember how I worded it now that you’ve edited it to say exactly what I meant to say.
We also shouldn’t forget that “the weapon” and Dank were at Geelong way before they were at Essendrugs
edited, again please to don't post rumours. What you suggested is not / has not been proven so it cannot be posted. 2nd time in a week you've done this :banghead
Frees 14-5 in favour of Geelong even though in general play they are getting flogged ::).Disgraceful umpiring.
That front on contact to Rozee not being paid a free is the kind of crap we cop on a regular basis. It's the clear ones that are not paid that are just as costly.
Deboy is one of the umps tonight so no surprise when you add him to SHocking's dud rules it's cluelessness on steroids :facepalm.
Gee Port looked the goods I reckon.x2 :lol
Reminds me of us - fast, high pressure, getting stuck into Porky all night. The kind of brand that wins big games.
Cats showed again that their game style doesn't stand up in finals. Too slow!
Dangerflog stands up in another big final.....:clapping(http://oneeyed-richmond.com/images/other/MissingPersonDangerfield.jpg)

:lol
Just a train wreck. Danger 9 turnovers in 23 touches, Henderson had the fumbles, Cameron one goal and no impact, Guthrie no impact, Selwood 16 touches, Dahlhaus 6 possessions. Rohan ouch. Have made an art form of bouncing back after week one losses but that was tough viewinghttps://twitter.com/RalphyHeraldSun/status/1431232323601666050
What are the heroes on cats bigfooty page saying now? :rollinEnjoy TK ;D.
Let's break out the "Geelong in finals" bingo card:
Inexplicable skill errors: TICK
Choking our shots in front of goal: TICK
Lack of intensity: TICK
Failure to capitalise on any period of dominance: TICK
Leaders failing to rise to the occasion: TICK
Bizarrely playing to opposition strengths: TICK
Pathetically weak tackling: TICK
Going in to the game missing a key player due to injury or suspension: TICK
Another key player carrying an injury that limits their ability to perform at their usual level: TICK
Scott making a positional move that hasn't been seen all season: TICK
Bingo :(
It’s just ******* stupid, Scott can not remain as the Geelong coach. It’s the same thing every ******* year. I don’t give a sh*t about H and A record, it doesn’t matter if you lose every year when it actually matters.
Out of all these finals losses over the last 10 years this is the most deflating! The realisation this team is done! ain't winning sh*t with Scott at the helm, he is done as our coach! Time to move on Geelong!
After 10 years of this sh*t it’s deflating to say the least. honestly now at the point where I’d rather we miss the finals than have to sit through this pitiful rubbish. Sorta stuff that makes you want to throw out the membership. So over hearing the ‘but we give ourselves a chance every year’. No we don’t
Another finals failure but who really cares. The important thing is which 30 year old can the club get during trade period to sell more memberships and seats that we may or may not even be able to use.
We need to make changes now. I started typing this at quarter time. Could have used the same thing for the last 10 years or so.
GAME PLAN
* This starts with our silly game plan which is slow, boring, predictable, sideways and backward disposals. Does not stand up and is typically pathetic in the finals. Beats weak sides during the year, gets into the finals and then we get pumped. I remember Cook, who is very astute saying that the most important thing is that we make the finals every year. I beg to differ that perhaps it is best to build a team capable of winning premierships. Straight sets is becoming the norm.
* 3 goals in 3 quarters. What chance have you got.
* Chipping the ball, unable to handle pressure and composure as we are not skilled enough. The game plan is flawed in a pressure situation. It is clear to everybody except our coach. We are becoming a laughing stock of the league.
* Incredible frustration and boring game plan
* Above the shoulders is a problem. Playing our younger inexperienced players would not help but they have to be given game time while we are in transition.
* We choke in front of goal. Miss the shots we should get
* If Scott does not change this game plan show him the door. I do not care how many games he has won or how man excuses he has. HE HAS BEEN THERE TOO LONG.
LIST CHANGES
* Too old, too slow, too unskilled, too soft, too mentally fragile
* Reality is we need a fresh approach as there is lack of trust in this set-up
* Drop the players that let us down in the finals every time
* Wholesale list changes are required. Drop Rohan (disappears in big games), Dahl (cannot kick longer than 30 metres, 3-4 disposals per game), Henderson (slow and error ridden), Dangerfield (big game looser), Kolo (cannot keep his feet and to slow), Rohan (where are you?)
UPSIDE
* Close, Henry,
FUTURE
* Rebuild the side. Must rejuvenate the side as the players will have are on a downward spiral and will NOT win a premiership.
* Coach changes needed to introduce a game style that wins premierships
* Leadership changes.
* Call Clarko now.
* Play the younger players. Give them a go.
* Need key pack marking forward, outside run midfielder, inside monster midfielder, key backman…. Too many holes.
Port played a great first half but really failed to put Geelong away after that. Just ran the clock down & fell over the line. Was close to a nil all draw after quarter time. A younger, more vibrant team would've run Port down in the last.
Lions licking their lips ... Dees sharpening their tridents ...

I will never forgive this bloke for what he has done to the game.

Giants through by a point over the Swans. So we need them now to beat Geelong to give us a higher draft pick :pray.
Why do you hate the stand rule fluffy. It just takes one defender out of the play and opens up the narrow angles for the kicker. What's not to like?Well firstly it was brought in by SHocking just to screw us and benefit his slow Cats without any trialing or testing. Of course, Geelong got notice of the changes before everyone else too. Do you think that's fair?
So much for Mathieson being the "barometer" :wallywink.I thought Mathieson was the perfect barometer on the night - he got shown up & so did his team! :snidegrin
Probably stating the obvious but it's hard not seeing the GF being Dees vs Port.
I think the Dees or the Power are best placed to win it.

well now that the afl got what they wanted, im sure the rules will somehow magically revert back.Let's hope you are correct.

He could have copped a lot more. Gil's not happy. The Giants will take the 3 weeks and run.Toby Greene has copped 3 weeks.

Fair enough too. A grub act of the highest order.
Should've given him 12 weeks for not hitting Stevic hard enough.... :shh
#21 BOG for the Handbaggers so far.... :shhThat's Simon Meredith.
Here's the vision of Dangerfield's blatant throw.
and this isn't a free because Danger is allowed to scoop and throw the ball.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E-XCx34UcAYqpgP?format=jpg&name=large)(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E-XCy6ZVEAIy-Tr?format=jpg&name=large)
And both Selwood and Hawkings where the hit Giants players in the head are assessed as inconsequential. Who’s surprisedCompare the pair ...
Straight sets out again for the Lions.
Port will be happy that the game tonight went down to the wire. Bontempelli on one leg too(?).
Lions go out in straight sets while Goosey Daniher racks up a massive 6 disposal game. Charlie Cameron kicked 3 early ones & then spent ages tinkering with his motorbike! :lol
Played like millionaires, ended up bankrupt .... :santa
Anyone except Geelong, with a strong dislike of Port as well.
So is it pick 16 for usYes if Melbourne wins the flag. Otherwise it's 15.
Do you guys remember the days when everyone used to pity and laugh at Richmond for their repetitive, predictable soul-crushing losses?
We've become that club.
Never thought we'd become that club.
As disgraceful as we've been, I have to admit the Dees have been spectacular.
Melbourne 2021 >>>>>> any of the Richmond teams.
And to think they sold the farm to win it this year
So is it pick 16 for us
Rohan = worst finals player ever :shhUp there with Leon 'duckeggs' Davis.
Dangerflog = worst "big name" finals player ever :shh :shh:yep
Another free to Dangerfield when he is again deliberately diving ::). He does it regularly and nothing is said by the media or done by the MRO. Grimes and Floss after trial by media were wrongly fined (challenged it at the tribunal and got off) after being accused of staging for the first time.
It should have also been a free against Rohan for taking his eyes off the ball to block the Melbourne defender which allowed Isaac Smith to mark for that last goal.
Anyway, Melbourne could've/should've killed off the game if they had nailed those three misses in a row. Those last two Geelong goals have kept the Cats in it (barely) on the scoreboard. The Dees should still win as they are destroying the Cats at ground level in the forward half (very us in 2017) but if the Dees blow this in the second half they can blame those three missed shots.

Gee Melbourne play alot like we were playing in the last few years. Good to see them smash Geelong. I think they will go all the way.
Agree that Melbourne is a Richmond clone, even the way they built their off field culture
Agree that Melbourne is a Richmond clone, even the way they built their off field culture
Too many people are forgetting how Melbourne really got here:
Tanked by their coach's own admission - found "not guilty" by the AFL but still fined 500k ...but then get given 3 million by AFL (on top of the subsidies minnow clubs already get that big clubs like ours essentially pay for) who then also give them Paul Roos at no cost to the club (and let us also not forget their current coach was one of Hird's assistants during the Essendon drugs scandal)..got to keep their high picks earned from tanking which they kept rolling over by staying shyte and building the list the currently have...then got more high picks for being shyte for another two years after initially coming good ...I mean good luck to 'em for taking advantage of the system and glad they knocked off the handbaggers....but any comparison to us is stuffing laughable... :shh
Where the stuff is Kenny’s Plan BChucky, going to bump up the Hardwick vs Hinkley thread? ;D.
My only regret is that David Koch isn't now stuck in a small room by himself for 14 days
Worst $200 I’ve ever spent
Never seen a more mentally cooked side in my life.
This is the most pathetic choke I've ever seen.
I’m 27 and I doubt I’ll ever see us win another flag in my lifetime
Can we NEVER play another prelim at Adelaide oval? Never before had I left a game before half time in anger, might not be the last either.
How come this mob can’t play at their f*n home ground? absolute spuds had everything going their way and still choked
This is the most devestated i have been at the club since '03.
Genuinely thinking of not renewing my membership and emotionally stepping back my support
f*** this team. Will not renew memberships
What an absolute shambles.
I can’t recall a worse half of footy.
I will never be seduced by this club again. Absolute bunch of pretenders, blokes didn’t chase they didn’t tackle they didn’t pressure. They were a ******* disgrace.
what a mentally soft group this is,
another final, another big game we haven’t turned up to in the first 15 mins.
big changes are needed, big calls must be made, this must bring change
No one can ever talk me into Hinkley after tonights game, complete failure as a big game coach, has to move on. Go get Clarko. Hinkley's a dud.....
lol what a f***head gets asked why he didnt start drew in the midfield at the first bounce scratches his head looks away and says ohhh ahh drew started on the bench most of the season. Yeah did you realise it was a ******* FINAL?
Up there with DBJ on Dusty
FIIIIIIIIREEEEEEEE!!!https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/port-versus-an-actual-football-team.1285437/
HIIIIIIINKLEEEEEY!!!!
Gary Rohan is the worst finals player ever.
Steven Motlop: "Hold my beer!"
Id rather the dogs now but I reckon the Dees will win it. They have a slightly harder midfield. But either one I don't mind. I didn't see the game but was it Ports midfield that was its weakness? Or back line or just general pathetic all round bunch of girly weaklings.
It appears Geelong's attempt to buy a premiership has failed.
So is there gonna be a GF sprint this year? Surely we've sent Jack "Flash" Graham over to represent the club if there is?#fasterthanmarkov :shh
Man just seeing dees players just walk out of the middle is insane. Both midfields are absolutely stacked though.
Fritsch has the most punchable head in footy.... :shh
Well this is rather apt .. perfect Dee's GF merchandise item:lol

OK enough of this bollocks, on to the real stuff now - trade week & the draft... :shh
Fritsch has the most punchable head in footy.... :shh
7news just said Melbourne is going to copy Richmond in honouring their premiership players.
I'm guessing that's giving them life membership.
Melbourne also had an extraordinary good run with few injuries.The fitness guru has joined Adelaide so they might not have it so good next year.
10 Demon players played every game this year. That's only happened 17 times in VFL/AFL history.

Why was Gary Lyon allowed to go to perth? How is he different to these blokes that were apparently arrested? Was he working? It seems inconsistent to meI know he went 2 weeks earlier and completed his quarantine, I think anyone can do that
Last year we used a local Queenslander to present the cup.

WA borders are closed to Victoria unless you get an exemption
G Lyon was allowed in because he got an exemption as part of the media. He like BT, Brayshaw and a few other media folks got exemptions to go and went over a fortnight before the GF and did quarantine
Eddie wasn't given an exemption. He tried claiming he was going as media but when he wanted exemptions for his 2 teenage sons who aren't media he got knocked back
As for the 2 knucklehead Dees supporters it is totally different. They didn't have an exemption. So simply they are not allowed into WA.
The fact that the went to Darwin did a fortnights quarantine there and then went to WA is irrelevant.
Although doing the NT hop that was allowed under QLD rules last year it is not allowed under WA rules. Remember WA has the harshest border rules in the country; even more so during Delta outbreaks. Further to that they have breached Victorian lockdown rules which from what I understand automatically means they are not allowed into WA under any circumstance (stand corrected on that).
The main reason they got caught is because the 2 dills got their photos taken celebrating with the players at every opportunity and one photos ended up on one of the AFL's social media platforms....
Pretty sure I read they spent time in police custody overnight and are facing massive fines up to $50k each :lol

well they are currently locked up which is good
ON the news tonight (what I saw - Ch7) they said the 2 knuckleheads lied on the declarations when they arrived in WA, used fake MT driving license docs and only quarantined for 8 days in NT
WA Chief Police COmmissioner is a tad angry
