I thought we started brilliantly in the first quarter, but that had just as much to do with the Eagles playing like witches hats
The win was pretty unconvincing really, we managed to scrape a win against a side that should be renamed the West Coast Shermans
I suggest the result would have been the same with Wallace in charge

The next 4 weeks will be pretty telling

It might not have been convincing but in a Wallace coached side it had "Eagles to run over the top and get a win" written all over it.  But instead of dropping our heads we fought for the victory.  And got it.  Ugly or not, we got it.
You mean like our win against Freo?

If you would like to pick that one outlier out of the group of Essendon, Geelong, Brisbane, Port Adelaide and Sydney capitulations when a team made a run, yeah why not.
All the above are better sides than Freo & West Coast Tankers

Not the everyone behind the ball crap we saw tonight  :help. Jade may have just cost himself the job next year. Not because we got flogged which isn't unexpected as the Saints are in another league but the negative way the team structured up. No point focussing on defence when you're can't score yourself.

we were never going to win tonight but what lesson did our pile of kids learn tonight? It was embarrassing to watch a team stream up forward then stop as no one was ahead of the ball! Not good jade! But ill wait on other games before i pass judgement and at least we kept the pressure up

A half forward line would be good start

Why the calls to sack the caretaker coach?

He's playing the kids, we wont end up ninth and we will get a high draft pick.

Good point you make Chuck

I thought all the pro-tankers wanted the kids played and losses for the remainder of the season....

Wouldn't think they'd ask for anything more than what we got tonight  :rollin

If you want to tank - then you don't get a say in how the result is achieved IMHO because you're getting what you wanted

it is people like yours truly who is anti-tank - that should ranting like a lunatic and doing this  :banghead :banghead

so did you ever think he was a serious candidate? if you only came to this realisation tonight i am alittle disappointed in you Daniel161. Because i thought you were of the few here that see it as it is and tell us so.

how could Richmond ever truly progress under a coach like Rawlings?

When a REAL coach comes in and makes TRUE CHANGE, it will be easy to know he will succeed, because the majority of posters on this sight will be upset with him. :lol  :lol  :lol
The club that keeps giving.

Totally different structure to the previous week,   it was crap.
Was listening to Wallace driving home on SEN and even he bagged him ::)

Happy with the team selected minus Hislop, Edwards and JON.

happy with the loss no issue from me there.

Not happy with the style played and the margin

Thats the difference but ill take the loss in fact i have never gone into a season Post round 1 not giving a flying stuff if we win or not as i do now.

Jade Rawlings worried me when he became caretaker. Why??

because our club has been down this road before and sorry jade but your not the answer mate. Too soft for my liking.

Could you imagine if Jade won 6 out of the next 8 we finish with a flurry and then another geesh appears. We sign him up for another 3 years.
Very easily could happen because only at RFC they tend to go through the whole process only to hire someone internally. Another reason why we get laughed at by the wider community.

You speak of true change i only see a Bucks/Malthouse who will not allow rubbish like Hislop/Edwards/JON/Schulz/Mcmahon/ ever to wear yellow and black again as being what we need not softies like Rawlings.

What true change can this real coach make?  There is a serious lack of quality footballers at RFC and that wont be changed overnight, we went through one mini rebuild with TW and now it looks like another deeper one is needed.  I think we are years away from being consistently competitive whether we get a real coach or not.
