Eureka Spirit on show
richmondfc.com.au
Wed 14 July, 2010
(http://www.richmondfc.com.au/Portals/0/jumper3.jpg)
This Sunday at the MCG, Richmond takes on North Melbourne in the third annual Eureka Game. The match is a tribute to the Eureka Spirit…Courage, Teamwork and Mateship.
The game is proudly presented by the City of Ballarat.
Each year the City of Ballarat hold a series of events and activities which create greater awareness of Eureka across the country, and in partnership with the Richmond and North Melbourne Football Clubs, the Eureka Game is set to become the cornerstone event.
Before the match on Sunday, there is a free BBQ on the concourse between Gate 3 and 4, as well as player autographs. On field there will be a sky-diver and the Red Coats.
The Eureka Medal is awarded to the best player on the ground. The Eureka Game perpetual trophy, which is a silver plated Sovereign Hill gold pan with Eureka Game emblem, is awarded to the winning side.
Nothing could split the two teams in the last instalment of the Eureka game, in Round 16 last year.

I honestly can't remember the last time a Richmond player won a medal in a game... Polo against Essendon?

AFL site is tipping us to make it 5 in a row :)

WHO WILL WIN AND WHY?
North Melbourne certainly has more to play for, but the Tigers are certainly playing a better brand of football at the moment. With the Roos losing Petrie again, and Richmond set to benefit from the return of Ben Cousins after his run-in with some sleeping tablets, the yellow and black army might be singing their song for the fifth week in a row.
PREDICTION:
Richmond by 15 points.

I am sure Foley won the glass boomerang sometime in the last time we won the Dream Time game

yes, that is right.

Why are we even doing this rubbish with North. North are a small club, this game is the pits and Richmond should give its place up in it to another club.
We should only be doing big games vs the likes of Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon.

Why shouldn't we do it? If it brings even a couple of thousand extra through the gate and gets a bit more exposure for our sponsors then we would be stupid not to be involved. Have one every single game if need be, whatever it takes.

Two Roos may not be enough to stop Jack: Scott
By Steve Lavell
Thu 15 July, 2010
NORTH MELBOURNE coach Brad Scot says two defenders might not be enough to quell the influence of Jack Riewoldt in Sunday's clash with Richmond.
Scott Thompson is likely to get first crack at Riewoldt, who leads the Coleman Medal race with 58 goals, though his coach is hoping Nathan Grima can return from an ankle injury.
Scott said Riewoldt's strength in the contests would be North's biggest concern.
"He's been in fantastic form. Something Jack's been able to show is that regardless of [defensive] help, he's taken pack marks two and three times outnumbered," Scott said.
"He's a terrific contested mark. He looks really athletic and he's full of confidence.
"His teammates have total confidence in him in that they appear to kick it to him regardless of how many numbers are back.
"We're going to have to really put a lot of pressure on through the midfield to curb his influence."
Scott said Corey Jones, David Hale and Aaron Edwards were among those who would be considered to replace key forward Drew Petrie, who had surgery on his fractured right foot on Wednesday.

Agree another b/s Sheedy inspired idea against the least marketable VIctorian club.
When we are a force and have 50,000 plus members we'll help prop up the home gate of this mob.
Awful footy club.
Have Dreamtime with Dons, hopefully our recent efforts are enough to inspire Andy D to guarantee our Round 1 game with the Cheats now to organise something with the Skunks. There's 6 games done for the year. Oh yeah and Eureka. Doesn't have the same thrill and ring to it. Hardly inspiring.

Jumping Jack Riewoldt's flash but Brad Scott has plan to stop forward
* Herald Sun
* July 16, 2010
NORTH Melbourne coach Brad Scott doubts even double-teaming Richmond's Jack Riewoldt at the MCG on Sunday could curb him in his current form.
The 21-year-old Tiger has snared 43 goals and taken 54 marks in the past eight rounds to be the AFL's form forward and leap to the lead in the Coleman Medal race.
While Kangaroos full-back Scott Thompson looms as Riewoldt's starting opponent, Scott said there would be no stopping him if the Tigers controlled the midfield.
"He's been in fantastic form and regardless of (defensive) help, he's taking pack marks two and three times outnumbered," Scott said.
"He's a terrific contested mark, he looks really athletic, he's full of confidence and his teammates upfield have total confidence in him.
"They appear to kick it to him regardless of how many numbers are back.
"So we're going to have to put a lot of pressure on through the midfield to restrict his influence, because I don't think we're going to be able to rely on one or even two defenders to stop him."
Scott said Riewoldt was emblematic of what he expects will be a long-term rivalry between two developing clubs, something they are trying to formalise with Sunday's match the third edition of their annual Eureka game.
He said supporters would enjoy comparing the development of the likes of Riewoldt with emerging Kangaroos' key forward Lachlan Hansen, and first-year midfielders such as Tiger Dustin Martin and Kangaroo Ben Cunnington.
But while Hansen, taken at No. 3 in the 2006 national draft, is currently being outshone by Riewoldt (selected 10 picks later), Scott doubted Hansen would be spurred by the comparison.
"I wouldn't have thought so, I say to all the players ... once you're drafted, the draft order is irrelevant," Scott said. "But something I think would spur Lachie on is that he had a poor game last week."
Scott hoped all the Kangaroos would be spurred after losing last round's vital clash with Sydney, costing them a spot in the eight.
"Every game now, because of the loss last week, becomes vitally important for us," he said.

Ummm Brad let's compare players of equal achievement so far eh :wallywink

We're favourites this week......
Bookies Odds (luxbet.com)
Richmond $1.83
North $2.00
Line at 3 points.
Expert tipsters:
Age: 13-13 ....... Caro, Shaw, Lyon have gone with us; Richo has tipped North :P as has Connolly and Walls.
Herald-Sun: 10 - 6 ....... Mike, Healy, Hird, Sheeds have tipped us; Robbo and Crawf have tipped North.
-
I'm not too confident with this game, North as boring and plain as they are stopped Melbourne's streak and I've got a feeling they could do it to us as well.
I'd love to win though and go into the Collingwood game with 5 straight.
-
Just have a niggling feeling this is one we'll drop. All I want is to not let North swamp us, play hard give it all and whatever happens on the scoreboard so be it. No let down in terms of commitment and passion tiges!
-
Yep have this bad feeling about this one, North are a good young team when they are going (Like us kinda), We've been on a roll and they have been average of late and looking at that we should win easy, just gotta a feeling we may not.
I know one thing, they wont stop trying these boys and that is all I have asked for this year
Carn tigers knock of the sh|tboners :pray :gotigers
-
seriously? the "Eureka" game? this sounds more like just another idea for a "special" game that hasn't taken off and only remains so that North can at least pretend that they're playing for something throughout the year.

i honestly don't really get some of you people, this game has potential to be big when both clubs are on the rise so when North and Richmond start being top four teams this game will be big... and give it time so we can develop a real rivalry in this game.
Plus if this is about getting north support than im all for that. :thumbsup

why is it our job to prop up North? we dont owe norf anything
-
After a tough slog last weekend, I wouldn't be surprised if we drop this one.
Hope we smash 'em though
-
Some sunshine out now but forecast is saying afternoon showers so the ball could spend most of the game at ground level today with lots of contested and old school K.I.S.S. footy.
-
Not on telly at all in Bris.
Fvckit.

Robbo hates us. He wills us to fail with every sulky bone in his body, I belly laughed when he suggested Knighter would quit if Essendon got beat by the Eagles... Looks like fat Robbo isn't calling the shots

Just discovered that myself Jake. Really, really, really angry at the moment. 2 channels playing the same stinking game (Carl vs Syd) and no-one covering ours - replay midnight on Seven is as good as it gets. >:( >:( >:(

It just doesn't make sense at all.
There should be a rule preventing two channels broadcasting the same game at the same time.
I don't understand why Brisbane always gets Swans games either.... The AFL must see it as part of the 'battle' for the hearts and minds of NRL states exposing the QLD market to an AFL team from another NRL state.

Slight change to my earlier info Jake - Fox Sports 1 are doing a replay at 7.30pm, straight after the Freo vs Melb game.

Foxtel are doing the Carl vs Syd game at the same time as Seven (1.00pm), then showing the Freo vs Melb game live at 4.30pm followed by a replay of our game at 7.30pm. Seven are replaying our game at midnight. Looks like Sydney viewers are getting the same coverage as Brisbane.

Nooooooooooooooooo

I have a link to watch it live streaming on the net. :gotigers If you want it then PM me.
-
:banghead Cotchin on report.
-
I keep harping on about this, but our back 6 balance is poorer with our three 'talls'
Moore on Swallow and earlier on Moore on Edwards. Doesn't have the agility to go with them, so typically either gets done or zones off and cannot apply any pressure.

The Richmond bubble has gone pop.
Terrible 3rd quarter.
-
Griffiths is our lucky charm :P
-
what do we need in the last? it seems like north has just got better skill and space than us .. oh and they got umpires playing well too :p
-
shocking 3rd quarter against a stupid club that should just hurry up and fold. won't even bother wasting download watching the last quarter live.
-
aboslute crap of a game for richmond ..... if some one told me we beat the top four side last week i wouldn't believe them at all after seeing this crap
-
I think this game highlights how much Jacko means to our team! And Cuz!
-
Cousins is playing..
We miss Jackson and Nason. They run HARD.

Thats what i mean Danog, Cousins game today displays how much he is worth to us!
-
Just pressed the "delete" button on the foxtel IQ
Will look forward to viewing "Hawke" tonight on channel 10.
-
I think our worst effort this year.
ID like to think Im pretty positive after the worst lost but I can't find anything. Not 1 single positive.. Maybe Cousins but even then I thought he was only OK..
Can't believe how
many player didn't work hard enough today. I'm sure there are relevant excuses but ge today effort wise was just a huge contrast to the last month..
I hope the clean out next year isn't reactive on a few games that show signs players like King, McGuane, Nahas need a pretty good excuse to prove they have a heap of development left..
-
I only listened to the game on the radio (6pr) but I didn't hear the names Tambling,Farmer and White very often.
Unfortunately I did hear the term "rabble" on a regular basis.

North were terrific I thought.
Another very young team, but physically more imposing than us right now and in the conditions they had a very good grip on things. I still like our list, but there is no denying that they have a good young midfield, Goldstein will be a gun and I'd say that a few of their younger fellas have had the advantage of training with blokes like Archer, Simpson and Harvey.

Im with you pope to a certain degree although this game was very lacklustre I think a few people saw this coming. With the shear age of our team it was only a matter of time before we dropped a game. I think the real measure will come next week against Collinwood and if we can bounce back, even though I don’t think we will beat them we need to see some of the attitude we saw over the last 6 weeks.
As for the continuing clean out there should be some very nervous players in todays team. One out of McGuane, Thurstfield & Moore needs to be traded. Edwards went back a long way today, I have a feeling he is a fair weather player which is not what we need. King tried hard but he really is lacking in some areas. Nahas has to be on his last few chances. Last but certainly not least is Tambling, someone on here suggested he was following certain instructions, if they are to run around in circles without doing anything positive in the game then he is doing it well.
Mostly I think this game shows how much we need Nason, Jackson and Griffiths in the team for varying reasons.
-
Amazing what a few wins does for perspective.
Today we were flat, everywhere across the ground.
Mat the word rabble is not appropriate, nothing like the true rabble like we saw last year. They never really dropped their heads and they tried most of the day but it just wasn't happening.
Credit must be given to North. They pressured us and absorbed the pressure we applied early. Their skills in those conditions were very good.
One thing we have been really good at of late is getting numbers to the contest, North beat us all day in this aspect.
At three quarter time Leppitch said they were playing like tired bodies, which they were.
This loss is far from the end of the world - just a reality check.
-

its because they were the worst on the field.
Tambling= No 1 dud in our club.
you only have to listen to the Richmond Crowd when he touches thew ball to know people have had enough of his crap. JON all over again.
Farmer can be forgiven as he has had a good few weeks.
White was terrible and Vickery :banghead :banghead
Bring in Browne FFS
-

Collingwood are flying and we will be without Cotchin and Jacko again. We will get done by 10 goals even if we play OK.
Most important thing is that Hardwick gets the players back to the core message. We had a little taste of what its like to win, but to do it for 22 games the players will realise thy have a lot of work to do.
-
Did we win? I took two cold and flu tablets and slept through the game - AT THE GAME lmao
Sounds like it was a good one to miss lol
:rollin
I think we were due for a shocker! :'(

The first half was OK but you could see we were down a notch
The second half was very poor

who cares.
i've already gotten enough out of this year.
we can have no more wins for the rest of the year and i'll still come away happy

North have owned us for years. Thought with a whole new group of kids that might change. I reckon they're the litmus test for us, where we should measure we're we're at. We have a long way to go, but that's to be expected if we look at it realistically. WE should get flogged next week based on today,. HOpe ti doesn't rain :-(
-
tambling is a real worry
-
tired players. took there effort down a little bit today and got beaten as a result.
played out of there skins last week with a reduced ability to rotate. not the game you want before you rock up to a wet MCG.
hope they increase the intensity next week, but it will be tough given the outs we may have.
Tambling & Vickery should have a go in the red and blue uniform next weekend though.
-
tambling is a real worry
Didn't even notice he was out there to be honest.
-
I think we will get a better performance next week FNM, but the result could be still be similar. If we were playing Collingwoood today the margin would have been greater.
Watching on the telly today, the players they showed looked very peeed off at the end of the game. They know they had a bad one.
-
tambling is a real worry

He was there, running around in circles. 3 kicks i reckon by memory
-
Tambling= No 1 dud in our club.
The side was poor all over the ground today , saying he's a dud is more a reflection on your crap post than his game today
-
excuse me, all I said "'he is a worry"
-
excuse me, all I said "'he is a worry"
Think you jumped the gun here Jack. Go back over the previous posts and you will see the quote from a much earlier post than yours.
It's not always about you!! ;D ;D
-
tambling is a real worry
He needs to be dropped, even look at trading.
Vickery was shocking as well in the ruck, Bring in Browne maybe try Vickery at CHF for a week or two see how he goes.
A bad week so what. :gotigers
-
Vickery was shocking as well in the ruck, Bring in Browne maybe try Vickery at CHF for a week or two see how he goes.
Vickery did some pretty foolish things around the ground too, collision with Thursfield and spoiling when either McGuane or Tuck were about to mark. I think he really needs to go back to Coburg and dominate some games. He simply isn't big enough to be a good tap ruckman IMO and if we want him to develop into a ruck/forward then he isn't anywhere near developed enough to get by in the AFL in this role
-
I agree Boy_Jake. I was going to say drop him as well, but he has done OK here and there, i reckon give him a spell in the ruck and help out in the forward line for a week or two he is big enough.
Bring in Browne/ Grahame as well and have three bigs running around.
-

We'll get 1 or 2
-
And so much for a wet weather side :rollin We have a side that will play a lot better in the dry.
A lot of factors went against us today the umpys at the start! Norths (How do I say) footy smarts at the contest in the wet, just a bit of luck Norths way (Bounce of the ball) and it all fell into place for them, like I say all the time confidence is a great thing in sport, they got it however they got it and then just went with it and we went the other way.
No great loss or drama !!!
I am wet and cold and having a warm shower, dinner and in bed.... ;D
-
Not much, but it is worth a look IMO. He is not playing a role this year, i wish he was but his efforts are not good enough.
-
We just looked flat from go to woe. We never got into any rhythm as a team which meant we were sloppy at best and just plain dumb at worst :scream. I think we left our brains back in the rooms as we were always a sec or so too slow with our decision making and we just didn't support each other. North seemed to have more numbers in defence, through the middle and up forward whenever the ball hit the ground :P. We got killed out of the centre. I was surprised Gus and Vickery matched hitouts with Goldstein and McIntosh as the North rucks watching live looked to be having a field day. I think the wet conditions exposed our young and lighter bodies at the stoppages. North were by far more a unit and after half-time worked harder than us.
Oh well we shouldn't be too surprised at a young side having a downer of a day and typically that downer is a real shocker :P.
-
was on the cards, last week freo worked us over physically in a major way, we were always going to struggle to come up tbh...
.....and whilst I respect nth and their young underrated talent, i wouldnt expect them to beat us let alone smash us at the contest like they did all day, clearly we weren't 'on'. Good learning curve on how to deal with being carved up after running around like they were bullet proof for the last 6 weeks.
Browne and Gourdis need a run NOW
-
I think our worst effort this year.
Forgotten that gem down at geelong Pope? Or what about Dream Time at the 'G, our game against Melb perhaps or Sydney up in Sydeny that was truly special
Seriously folks let's not get carried away here with the doom & gloom
We have a very young team who have given us a very good 6-7 weeks that have been probably better than some of us could have imagined.
History tells us young teams when they hit a wall will have a shocker and that's what happened today. We lost, it it the end of the improvement in 2010 - NOPE
No it wans't pretty but please let's put it into perspective of where started the season, what we have achieved in the last 6 weeks and what we are striving for long term. There are going to be some bumps along the way but it's still a ride worth taking and I for one aint going anywhere
:gotigers

100 games and he plays like a bird watching girl. No guts or passion. No attack....
I agree totally. He is a DUD.
I think you are blind if you think Tambling isn't a dud.

Hardwick dead right players did not come to play. Looked really flat. Always second to the ball didn't win enough of the hard hard . Smashed in the ruck. Did not man up in defence however having said that I thought Moore played a very good game and Will was playing well until he was concussed. Tambling should be dropped after that performance. Cousins was brillant in the conditions. Thought Farmer tried hard. Midfield apart from Cousins on the quiter side. Jack tried hard but had limited opprtunities. Our delivery into the forward line not up to scratch
-
This loss is far from the end of the world - just a reality check.
Exactly al.
With 5 wins from 6, we were always going to start getting hopes up higher than we should.
I've seen enough from the boys to look forward to next season, time to give the rest of the guys at Coburg a game, experiment a bit and get pick 4 or 6.
-
we owe this whinging mob, Eureka game thought that idea had died.
Why are we even doing this rubbish with North. North are a small club, this game is the pits and Richmond should give its place up in it to another club.
We should only be doing big games vs the likes of Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon.
nothing rubbish about workers being shot by victorian cops
I never made any comment about workers being shot. Dont put words into my mouth clown. Richmond should not be doing these types of games against the likes of North Melbourne.

Interestingly Hardwick has accepted his part of the blame for the loss on top of the players lack of intensity .....
"We went through the tape of the game on Monday and the significant factor which hit home was our general lack of intensity at the contest. That was really disappointing and quite unRichmond-like, compared to the way we had been playing. Even though we, as a coaching group, can highlight this, there’s no doubt our players have to take responsibility for the drop-off in intensity.
But, in saying that, as a coaching group, we didn’t have a great day either. Each week after a game, we rate our own coaching performance in general. Last Sunday, we rated ourselves below average, too. There were a couple of crucial stages in the game where we didn’t quite back our own judgment in making changes and, as a result, the team suffered. So, we were disappointed with our own performance in the match, as well."

I've only been back in Oz for five years after being OS for what seems like half a lifetime. Can anyone enlighten me about the last time a Tiger coach put something like that in writing to the members?

I think it was Wallace saying he only has the time to speak to 17-18-19 year olds on the Richmond list once every couple of months

The Tanned One would have put a positive spin on that, wouldn't he, Bents? Something about not pressuring their natural development and flair by having an audience with the big boss?

It all seems quite new age management style. You can't imagine Matthews, Sheedy or Malthouse coming out and saying I got it wrong. On one hand the players might respect the coaches honesty, on the other they might start to suspect the coach is really quite fallible.
I don't think it happens too much in sport generally, actually. The best coaches - from Lombardi to Mourinho - seem to have been supremely self-confident.

There's a fine line between being self confident and arrogant Jake. We learn more from mistakes than success, as long as you acknowledge those mistakes. Arrogant pricks that behave like they are never wrong are a disaster waiting to happen - just look at most of our politicians, of all persuasions.
Perhaps you could argue that he should not have made those thoughts public, but if you follow what Hardwick has said about modern players questioning why certain decisions are being made and that he is happy for this to happen and to explain to them the reasons, it seems that for him to criticise the players performance but not put put his hand up for his own shortcomings would go against the grain.
My feeling is the players would respect Dimma for this, I know I do.

its a team effort now- when they win they win together and when they lose they lose together. at least we dont have a coach who doesnt accept responsibility for what happens. Hardwicks doing a great job :gotigers
