We are a laughing stock - Discuss!
-
Official meltdown thread! It's gunna get messy....
My worst nightmare - season over as a result of a loss to Gold Coast for f$cks sake.....horrific
-
said it before many times Ramps, its the culture of this football club
It is inbred into their heads and sadly im not too sure how we can reverse it.
Another clean out? Another coach?
season is shot and its got nothing to do with injuries.
After the Stkilda win you came out with few negatives and got shot down.
After the Fremantle loss a few of us came out and had quite a few negatives and got shot down. Weather, youth, tired etc etc
Now this
Facts are in 12 months we have not improved.
Some players have and some players have gone backwards
We are the same rabble of a football club we have been for the last 30 years
-
That's a good way to sum it up. Did we take the game seriously?
Are we Gold coast's B##CH!!
-
How many slabs you win tonight on the punt daniel? well done - should have gotten on as well but thought we'd romp it in. What a joke. I could have gotten myself peeed in disappointment, now Im just disappointed without the drinks.

I'm not interested anymore.

Ox [Schwarz variety] hit the nail on the head after the game. We are good hunters so we'll fight hard against the top sides but can't handle being hunted so we cave against the crap sides. Until we get that mental toughness crap losses like tonight will happen.
Even before today with all the outs, we had a habit of playing to the level of our opponents. You can't just pick and choose when you turn up and when you play with intensity. We lack that killer instinct. In sport you should want to destroy and humiliate your opponent when you have the opportunity to do so. If you're 2 goals up then go for 5; 5 goals up go for 10; etc. You don't take your foot off the pedal and try to win with the minimum amount of effort you can get away with. That mental side of the game is next on our development list after we clear out the spuds who can't physcially play full stop at the end of the season. Sadly today we were scraping the bottom of the barrel on our list to put together a 22 and it showed.

you are spot on daniel.
Tigeritis hasn't been cured. The club that has mediocrity pumping throughout it's veins.
This issue hasnt been fixed and this shouldve been sorted by now. To rid this club of this virulent disease is by far the MOST important thing that the club must cure.
.... We need a winning culture transfusion.... STAT!

What rips my heart out is the club asks us supporters to give to the tiger fund and we have 5.5 mill and we have 50000 members and they put out that crap for us.It's a disgrace.

I am currently sitting in my hotel room and thinking why did I bother to fly up here today to witness a pathetic loss like that at a sub standard AFL venue?
Been crook all week with the lurgy and now feel worse than i have all week.

They dont care about the members. They just need us for our money. We are their money machine. They employ themselves on massive money and thats the end of the penny section. They dont care about the supporters. The 19th man, Richmond Roar stuff is just PR to get the supporters to fork out the cash. Every year its the same. Ive said this a thousand times, it takes 40 million to run a club to a small profit, the players only get $8 million that means that $32 million goes elsewhere. The supporters of every AFL club are being ripped off every single year.

Can't be bothered reading all the posts
In a nutshell .we haven't improved
ppppffffttttt. all today has showed is we have no depth. want for experienced and enough good players with enough games under their belts, it also showed we lacked enough quality all these things were clear as day at the start of the yr.
it has always been patently clear we would struggle when injuries/suspensions etc kicked in.
club has improved enormously in lots of areas both on and off field. the angst only comes from those who have had unrealistic expectations.
hmm did we or did we not lose this fixture last yr. it was never a monty to win this given what has happened the last 3 or 4 weeks.
all of this sudden anger is a bit over the top it just shows how unrealistic peoples expectations have been.

I feel for all supporters
I feel for our families.
Investing time, effort, money, hope into a footy club that whilst improving right now my last point seems very hollow when I could be out with my wife and daughter or playing with my daughter or visiting friends.
Us fans who take the time out of our lives to fit the RFC into it and to only get skata and the annual heartbreaking loss to a much worse on field side than us and then have all the propaganda machines at the RFC coming out to try and resell the hard core message all the fans seem to hear but never get to experience.
I think the RFC needs to take a good hard look at it. 1.5 million over 3 games but the losses in itself have killed our seasons. Not worth the trouble Benny.
You want to make a mark RFC with the 52000 members and reserved seat holders and the fan coterie groups 11 home games in Melbourne at the home of football and no games in Geelong.
That is the starting point. As Kevin Costner was told by Ray Liotta in Field of Dreams "You build it and they will come" there is your start point.
No gimmicks, no 19th man crap we know how passionate we are but this aint 1973 Preliminary Final or Grand Final Day or Windy Hill 74, no FTF and put my name on the banner, why will they read it or will the players ask about rank and file supporter X and how he cam to make his or her contribution, no fan this or fan that. Make our fixture fan friendly for a start and start filling the holes in the list and making the tough on field decisions and ensure the duds who have failed the club over and over again and envelop the failure when they play never play again.
Why recruit a draftee if he will be a project for two years and then he may get a go. DOn't play these Graham types and draft kids who will play senior footy and will be able to step up. Give the kids the confidence and the experience. Would rather fail trying than fail hearing so and so is in Coburg 2nds so and so is at Coburs 1sts so and so is buying hamburgers from the RElton Roberts caravan just play the kids and keep the failures at Coburg until their time runs out. We did it with Jordy in 2010.
I do not want to see Graham in an RFC jumper again. I know he is contracted till 2013 but I do not even want to see him in the 2013 team poster. Enough of these nothing players list cloggers who have failed the club over and over again.
15-20+ year members deserve better than this.

junk...served up pure junk...thought we'd done the "hard work" (with one decent quarter) and switched off again...too many passengers (apologies to Lids and Cotchy & Co who busted/regularly bust their guts)...
you need a squad of 25 - 30 to really push for finals and we once again showed that we lack depth & quality
unfortunately means that we will now have to go through another couple of months of debating about who we will and who we should delist....still too many spuds and cupcakes on the list....
-
off to Punt Road with my dog richo and with whats remaining of my slab, to drop the biggest poo on their front door step
-
Seen it all b4 and will see it again. Feel for the players who stood up. Makes the Connors, Martin decision a big deal, as it really showed we have no quality players to promote. Thank god jackson didnt play, we would have lost by a lot more!!

The answer is in the title of your thread
-
I'm not going to change the title of the thread. The issue is some leading people at Richmond have been there a long time now and the results are always the same when the seasons on the line.
-
Ramps the change shouldve happened when Dimma came across
He wanted a fresh start then why the stuff did he persist with this blokes from the Wallace era
-
Maybe they had long term contracts.

No it is not. Winning will bring the bucks and in greater amounts than selling home games. We should beat teams no matter where we play but lets face it, its easier for us to win Melbourne. Also, to fly a bloke to Cairns with a suspect calf seems ridiculus to me. Also taking Ivan up for a rest?
-
Even funnier was that Jake King .Jackson and Martin were running along the foreshore every morning
You know where at least 2 of them should of been
Jackson and Martin should of been running the half marathon around Melbourne this morning busting there guts as punishment
-
Get in Neil Balme there first of all with his experience.I dont have problem with Francis Jackson.I still think we could use Malthouse in a role.Both of these guys have huge success and tiger champions we need that.

that 400k is a Gross figure GR
Lets remove cost of flying all the players, staff up to cairns
Lets remove the fact we could've won the game in melb, thus increasing membership and a shot at finals.
Dont be deceived by the gross figure people, its far less when you really think about it
-
Balme should come in for Cameron. We need to get in a new national recruiting manager with a different philosophy and someone with some runs on the board. The forward line coach - dont know who it is but should come under serious question because at least 3 of the forwards should have been in defensive 50 with 25 seconds to go. We need a massive cleanout I reckon. Also Houli and Grigg have gone back to being substandard footballers. They should be dropped next week.
-
We lost to the bottom team .remember
No thanks to someone's drafting advice...... :whistle
-
Houli and Grigg are purely and simple outside players....you will get nothing more from them.When the team is flying they will fly also.When the team needs people to dig deep,these 2 will be nowhere to be seen.Whether theres a spot for them in an AFl team buggered if i know.All i know is both theses players arent my favs

:(He Collins back
These two guys are receivers and turnover kings when the heat is on
They are DimSims little girls

Never liked selling home games, its makes us look like north.

Spot on Caro and Malthouse
No depth, Graham and Webberley are rubbish footballers,
no need to sell a game. we are now worse off in drop of memberships, drop in crowds for the remainder of the year,
Richo " cant beat GC in any weather or state of list you dont deserve to play finals"

Game should never been played in Cairns
Any money gained from the game will be lost in other areas

I don't know what to tell my kids anymore

tell em the truth we just arent good enough. and then tell em why we arent good enough if they are old enough to understand.

they are just telling it is how it is
Malthouse has No idea some say. hahaha
Yet he asked what was the point in flying Dusty up there if he wasnt playing, when he has to front up week after against Nought
Complete waste of time

Mick says Tigers don't understand what is needed
Taking Martin and Jackson away to Cairns is a bad mistake
Unnecessary to have them travel for promotional reasons

You know the problem Daniel
I have said for years that there are people down there have no idea
People say I am sour grapes .
All I want is for the RFC to be successful
Some of the decisions that have been made in the past 2 years are beyond belief
Why would you extend Hardwickd contract.really ?
The Martin situation was well known by the club
Could of been dealt with at years end

Mick is saying Martin should of played

Caro says Tigers too tough on Martin
Cost a game
Hurt supporters
Hurt the club
Robbed his teammates

* likewise Connors
* selection of players that haven't deserved or earnt there spot.please seek Hardwicks press conference before Round 1 of NAB cup

It's amazing that the club charge for something that was free and an actual reward for loyalty and then they suggest 2 parties and then you don't here boo from them
No big deal from my point of view although lots of supporters peeved off
-
its only about cash generation jacko you should know that by now - the supporters dont count we are just needed for our money.

The turnover of supporters at the high end is alarmily high

Well if the club doesnt care about keeping these people happy eventually the pool will dry up and their going to be in shitloads of trouble. Ive always thought that its better to keep what you have happy and to chase the extras rather than treat the your current backers like crap and always be on the lookout for newbies. Maybe Im wrong on that, I dont know.

When is the ground meant to be complete?

I think November
My issue is how dumb a decision to do it in the middle of the year

Malthouse is a hypocrite :wallywink He has dealt out his fair share of mid season suspensions over the years, what's the difference between his and ours? Malthouse only remembers what he wantsto, now he's in the media he's turned into a bigger nuffer than when he was when he was a coach!

At least 2 of Collingwoods suspensions were AFL enforced through gambling
Another was a car accident
I aware of several issues that they have kept in house and dealt from within

* Digging up punt rd before seasons end - keep in mind that they can resurface Etihad in a week..they could of done it in Mid September.6 weeks turn around if they had trades organized
Unfair and irrelevant comparison Jack. Resurfacing a prepared stadium with purpose grown turf in pre-determined sectors all in a week is entirely reasonable, if not expensive, and is funded entirely by the stadium. Punt Road needs to be rebuilt - oval reshaped, base dug out and rebuilt, drainage installed, subsurface reshaped and compacted, top soil laid, shaped and lasered, and that will take a shedload of time and money just to get to a stage of being ready for the turf to be laid. If you want an 'instant' outcome re: drop-in turf a la Etihad then you pay a premium on top of that as opposed to the 'traditional' way of laying strips and letting it bed, and the club would have to foot the bill for the whole thing. Doing it the way the are in at the timeframe they are makes the most sense when you consider all the factors involved because I just know how the great unwashed would react if Cotchin did his ACL as a result of a substandard surface at Punt Road, all because we rushed the revamp.

* you been listening to Benny Gales spin
*. What they have been training on at Punt Rd .the grass was below any standard
My employment has my company actively involved with Sporting Grounds and the interstructures involved
Was actively involved at AAMI Stadium,MCG and Etihad
Can tell you that they could of had the grass growing elsewhere while they ripped the ground up in September/October and be back training on it in middle of November.no issues

Wellingham, Didak, both the Shaws and Swan have been dealt with on more than one occasion. Reece was traded out the others have suffered club suspensions and were put on notice. How is this different to what we have done with Martin and Conners?

Been listening to no-one's spin - I work with landscapers and plant operators on a daily basis. And I thought you sold light bulbs?
-
High performance Lighting not bulbs
Bulbs are things you plant in the ground that grow
You mean Light Globes no doubt
-
Well Smokey
You should go down with your shovel to Punt Rd and give them a helping hand

We beat Sydney ealier this year. How bad must they be?
Oh.
How about them Hawks? Smacked them by 10 goals! They must be poohouse!
Oh.
We're building something folks but have some legitimate reasons (excuses) why our form has dipped and if you can't see that then you are deluded.
Bring on next week.

So when we beat swans under wallett and I think Dimmas first year you thought the same also
How about when we nearly knocked hawks over in 2010 what do you say then
We always do well against these 2. So what
It's how you lose that's important and we have blown a big chance
The club is the laughing stock of the afl again

Only if you think like that.
I'm pretty pleased with how our football side is developing myself.
Have absolutely no doubt we have improved but injuries have crippled our season.
Just need to keep turning players over and improving the list.
