Richmond vs Fremantle - Round 21

[mightytiges]

We'll be able to claim it's another low 20-ish loss but the scoreboard flattered us. We were woeful and it could've easily been a 10 goal loss if Freo were a decent side.

Morris, Kingy, Tucky and perhaps Grigg and Cotch were okay. Dusty was good after half-time but poor in the first half. The bottom end was sub-substandard which again comes down to a lack of depth.  Oh well it shows once again we aren't good enough yet and need another half-dozen of AFL standard footballers before we can really push for finals.

Cotch, Tuck were pretty awesome I thought MT, Kingy our 3rd best then daylight. Lids tried hard and did well to kick 2 while being worn by Crowley. Martin had a strong second half and Maric worked his way into the match after being destroyed early.

Don't think we are capable of playing finals in 2013
Why ?
As we need to add at least 8-10 players to that team that played today
And they ain't going to happen

Have to agree. It could be a long road ahead. I cant believe that in 2012 I still have to watch my team play with the likes of Jackson, McGuane et al. still playing. Feel sorry for Damien Hardwick, but more sorry for Cotchin and Deledio because they have to play with idiots or blokes who should be playing for Noble Park.

Coaching staff has to shoulder the blame for this loss - Hardwick has no idea against the flooding Lyon

• No back up ruck? McGuane against Sandilands was a joke
• Delidio beaten by Crowley again
- Riewoldt beaten by McPharlane again
- Rance beaten by Pavlich again
- Morris got beaten by the turd ( should have flattened the dog)

It was like groundhog day - same game as earlier in the year.

Post, McGuane, White etc cannot play against quality sides. Selections were a joke.

O'Hanlon is not AFL standard - does not work hard enough

Well done Cotch, Kingy, Tucky

The one consultation is that I don't know any Freo supporters but lots of Ess and Carlton ones.

I will have fun on Monday.

"Richmond lost on purpose because we hate Carlton and Ess worse than we hate Freo"

and dont forget the part about the better draft pick where we will pick up a quality midfielder before they get the chance too

Pretty much on the money there TM.
Cotch's influence on the scoreboard was less this week though because he got a lot of the ball in the back half (out of necessity because that's where the ball was often).

Hardly think a loss to freo at subi will form the basis of our 2013 fortunes , that makes as much sense as using our win against haw or syd as a reference point...weve demonstrated just how competitive we are agaist the contenders, soe shrewd recruiting will see us bridge that narrow gap

I dont know if you noticed but we dont have a lot of options, the fact we have to play players like White, Jackson and Mcgawn should tip off even the dumbest supporter that we are shallow as

To be competitve in any final series, you need to be able to win games interstate
You tell me when we beat an interstate team at there home ground when they were in the 8.?
We are a long way off.

Reckon that North are at least 4-5 goals better than us

Stop it !!!!

Logic and calm heads have no place on this site.

It very simple, our bottom 3 or 4 cost us each week, improve on them and we are up there.  White, Jackson, Edwards and McGuane are the 4 from today (My opinion). I know some will say Post and a few other youngsters but I can see what they COULD be with games and time. I remember how many of us were saying Rance would not make it. We have improved and anybody that cant see that or is just so negative they wont admitt it, well I am not even going to bother to read.

4 points actually ?..quit the bs and bluster and qualify your rants, your a mile off....again

[WilliamPowell]

Simply our worst performance of the year

Too much left to too few

Terrible skill errors, poor decision making

Terrible game. Kingy being our best player sums the day up I would think. Outside of Cotch of course 

At least the weather over here was sensational today
