Fair opposition analysis IMO. Not really any different from how we talk about them. The second poster makes a good point though. I think a lot of the older Victorian supporters feel the same way about a Tiger resurgence. There is an entire generation of us <30 year old Tiger supporters who have known nothing but heartache and pessimism, just chomping at the bit to give it back in barrow loads.

Did you have your bummer blitz hat on just then? :D

thats just a copy and paste from last year.
no imagination.
deluded look over at Tullamarine way. :lol

I personally like this one :
Not a top 8 side. I think their recruiting and trading will leave them with egg on their face.

I liked this gem
- Jack Riewoldt cannot kick goals agianst good defenders. the only top 8 side he gets hold of is Hawthorn and that's with Shoenmakers, who Eddie Betts, Brent Harvey or Leroy Jetta would out-body in a marking contest. Riewoldt is pathetic against good defenders - a bit like his cousin actually
At least owning up to the fact their team/defenders are stuffing atrocious. ;D
-
"Deledio tends to go missing in the middle and belongs on half back. Grigg has been a good pickup but hardly a match winner. Jackson is very good both ways and gives some grunt. "
:lol
:bow
Stuffing gimps. Bummer fans are the absolute pits.
-
They have too many battler type players in their list for me to give them a realistic chance of making the top 8.
Lmfao we have a heap of stars compared to them.
Lids, Cotch, Jack, Dusty, Foley, Ivan
To
Watson and Goddard.
Their whole list is battlers.
-
There is some fair comments in there however there is also some real stupidity in there to.
Including this wanker...
"Every year we hear about the Tigers and what they are going to do and how this year is different to the past yada yada yada....
2 things stand out for mine:
- Jack Riewoldt cannot kick goals agianst good defenders. the only top 8 side he gets hold of is Hawthorn and that's with Shoenmakers, who Eddie Betts, Brent Harvey or Leroy Jetta would out-body in a marking contest. Riewoldt is pathetic against good defenders - a bit like his cousin actually
- Their lack of grunt or "tough men"....If Jake King is your enforcer, then seriously u have issue
-
Think this guy was in a coma in Round 22
Richmond are an ordinary team. They go missing for 3/4 of a game then show nothing but abit of chest beating, huff'n puff late in the game. When the game is there to be won late in a game, they're nowhere to be seen. Suddenly everyones plauding Richmond for their gallant efforts.
They'll do nothing other than get people excited. Yet lose most games.
Ordinary Club

Outrageous. Hurley is better than any tall we have bar Jack. Vickery & Rance are decent at best at this stage, Foley is a good player who is often injured and Maric has had one good season out of 8. Martin was below his best last season.

Hurley hasn't done anything? Bloody oath, you know a very small amount about football. The bloke has held down CHB & CHF ever since he got drafted. That's pretty impressive. If not for injuries he would have a huge fitness base and would have done even more in his career to date. Vickery did not kick 37 goals in 2011. Vickery's PB is 4, Hurley's is 6. Vickery has kicked 4 twice, Hurley has reached 4 or more on 9 occasions. One of these guys has spent a lot of time at CHB and it's not Vickery. Vickery kicked 7 goals from 9 games in 2012. Oh, but he had a sore shoulder....Vickery a star? Awww gee give us a spell
Get a clue and stop posting complete rubbish, RichmondGroupie

Hurley has done **** all "Coach"
Sweet **** all

Vickery miles ahead, 100 miles at least
Hurley a star. LMFAO I've heard it all now

You know SA ! Vickery kicked 36 goals in 2011 get off the grogg!
Vickery has proved much more than Hurley and will be a better player. Swingman Hurley will be a good ordinary player

Yeah, you said he kicked 37. You were wrong. But again, NFI. You make yourself look worse with every post
Hurley overrated
By who? Most who watch him regularly find him to be a quality KPP. No one says the guy is the next Carey but to say Vickery is better than him is laughable. Hurley beats him in every area apart from ruckwork...and obviously he's not a ruckman.
-

He's a good player and I'm a big fan, not the star that you claim. Big Vick is ahead of him, not that they should be compared – ones a swingman and ones a forward that can play in the guts. ;)

Vickery is quicker, more athletic, is better in traffic and better below his knees. Hurley just shades him on marking and kicking. Just.
Don't be upset you called Hurley a star, he'll get there, no need to overrate him Tay Tay :-*
-
Big Vick was one of the sofest big men in the league last year. He played one decent game of football, the rest were a disgrace. But now that he's been out of the side he has become a star. Quicker and more athletic than Hurley? You're having a laugh :lol Better below his knees? I dunno, maybe. But then again Hurley clunks most things that go near him so he doesn't have to worry about the footy hitting the deck ;D Justin Westhoff is better in traffic than most big men. ;D
:cuddles
I may have been harsh on young Ty. I actually like what he offers as a forward. He'd kick more goals if blokes lowered their eyes instead of blazing because they hear Riewoldt screaming in the pocket. Offers a nice lead does Ty. Give him good delivery and not many defenders will be able to get a fist in when he's got the dukes out

Not at all. As usual gerks offers nothing to the thread. Vickery was complete arse last season but he is capable of better. Not sure how that's back peddling

"We are aware that there are suggestions that Jobe Watson has been seen limping into Epworth hospital with Essendon officials earlier today.
There is nothing official yet, and until there is it is purely a rumor."

Realistic Essendon supporter here. I think both teams are a fair way off challenging. Not enough consistency and too many young/inexperienced guys in the best 22.
How many good players do you have that are ready to go in 2013? Players that don't have question marks/injury concerns?
For the bombers it would be Watson, Goddard, Fletcher, Ryder, Crameri, Hurley, Heppell, Howlett, Stanton, Dempsey, Carlisle, Bellchambers, Zaharakis.
For Richmond I'd have Cotchin, Deledio, Reiwoldt, Maric, Martin, Grigg, Conca, Houli, Ellis, Tuck, Rance, Chaplin, Morris, Nahas, Newman and Shane Edwards.
Both lists are fairly even IMO but Reiwoldt puts it in Richmonds favour. None of our forwards are close to him at the moment.
Of course there are plenty of other talented players on both lists but a lot of them have question marks due to lack of games or injuries. Players like Daniher, Kavanagh, Pears, Myers, Hibberd or for the Tigers guys like Foley, Grimes, Vickery, Griffiths, Vlaustin etc. If you can get those guys playing good footy consistently you will be hard to beat.
Both teams have weakish depth so injuries are going to be a factor.
Good luck but I hope you finish 9th.
-
I would agree that both teams my be a fair way off challenging but where I see richmond's reasons due to lack of experience and depth to cover injuries, I see Essendons as a case of too many battlers on field. What I liked about the bombers last year was that after your top 5-6 players the rest of your list is pretty even and they were able to produce consistently as opposed to our bottom 6 last year that when push came to shove under injury duress were more than awful.
It showed in the first half of the season ith a fitter list you were able to win more games become the bottom tier and even mid tier players in your team put in more than what we did. It could also come down to the draws we both played but that's a different discussion.
I don't know too much about essendon tbh but I think players like pears and hibberd fit are a good addition to your squad.
As for this year I would expect our younger players to provide more while the flogs we have to be kept out of the team with the depth we aquired thru recruiting and availability and not sidelined for most of the year ala: Astbury, Arnott, Helbig etc
Don't worry won't finish 9th, with essendon out and a bye round this year I'm sure we'll move up a spot into 8th this year. :lol
Just not sure what were going to do for the dreamtime game without an opponent??

Essendon to recruit Lance Armstrong as an international rookie.

;D

Stopped reading at Howlett in the list of good players. Anyone fill me in on who our good ones were?

Should've kept reading cause he said Dempsey too hahahah

some dodgy names on that bombers best of list.
-
Tough crowd ;D It's not like I said they were A Graders. You would of thought after I listed honest plodders like Conca, Morris, Houli, Nahas and Chaplin that you wouldn't be laughing at the likes of Howlett. He is a better player than any of those hacks.

Maybe we have been consulting with Ben Cousins. Turns out he had a close relationship with Mr Charter aka Dr Ageless well before he was associated with the bombers. :thumbsup

Morro, Conca & Nahas are not hacks >:(
-
I'd be more worried about your maggot.of a club being disbanded in the near future rather question the ability of Morris or Conca.

For all you know, you could be supporting a team slapped together with VFL/SANFL/WAFL players while your muscled up spuds have a 2 year break from footy ;D

I think someone forgot to warn players about some of the more obvious side effects. Danky probably did outline some of the benefits though but failed to go into detail as to how it would happen.
