I have been waiting all year for these next two rounds, dependent of course on ho we were travelling.
Well we are travelling brilliantly, now.......the next two are for mine the most important. We have lost against sides we were, well, "expected" to lose against but we also could of beaten those sides.
North and the Suns are our bogey sides, North since after 95 (they have the wood) and the Suns for the past two years or since their inception.
For me the true character of our club will come in the next two weeks, we can't afford to let these two games slip, these are both sides that can beat us....mentally which will translate to a win on the field. While North will not have Thomas the headbutter, make no mistake they can still win. The Suns, well anything could happen.
Tiges, show us this brilliant football you have been playing.... :gotigers

I'm worried about the next two because it's tough winning 6 in a row. But if we're truly a good side we should have no worries :cheers
Just hoping we can win them so the pressure won't be as intense if we struggle against Hawks, Sydney and Freo all genuine GF prospects. If we can scalp one then round 23 against Essendon could really come down to a top 4 play off :cheers

No Excuses!

No Excuses!
:clapping.....YES

8 point fortnight!

8 point fortnight!
16 point. Must win games. Season defining stuff.

Must win games
-
I think Richmond will beat them both. North will be hard but I back our boys for that one. Our midfield is better IMO but their forward line and back line match up well on us.
-
Must win games
I agree Chucky!
Could call them 24 point games!
-
32 point games each of these two for sure
-
Even if we win the next couple , Richmond will still probably sit 6th on the ladder.
However most likely we will be 4 games clear of 8th with only 7 games remaining.
-
HUGE next five weeks.
North Melbourne
Gold Coast
Fremantle
Sydney
Hawthorn
The test of improvement will be starting this week!
Go Richmond!
-
I thought the test started after we beat Carlton? Or was it Port? West Coast...??? :huh help me here
-

Or was it when we dropped games against the Pies, Bombers, Freo and the Cats...because we failed those tests. The test here is to beat our bogey sides that we have failed against in the past, as indicated in the first post. After this test it will be to beat teams above us another test we have to date failed..there's your help. ;D

North and the Suns are our bogey sides, North since after 95 (they have the wood) and the Suns for the past two years or since their inception.
How do you figure North are a bogey side for us ? I'd say Geelong have the wood on us and Collingwood probably. St.Kilda and The Bulldogs did too but we've smashed those hoodoos.
Here's our recent record against North >>
2009 - 36pt win
2009 - draw
2010 - 50pt loss
2011 - 9pt win
2011 - 13pt loss
2012 - 4pt loss

Norf are looking at some motivation for this one.
The bootstudders 10,000th boot? Might get 'em up & going for this match.
Shinboner spirit. ::)

These pricks seem to match up well on us >:(

The Freo game is the big one for mine. If we can't beat them at the G, then we will just be making up the numbers come September.

Most of us would have been happy to finish 8th this season and see further improvement. IMHO we dont have to win a final to say we had a good season, all we have to do is at least be competitive. If we are competitive but we go out early then we know our improvement is franked and real.

You may well be right and we're gonna get them at full strength too. Sandi Monster will be back along with Pavlich , Barlow and Mundy.
We'll beat 'em though

The day Frawley walked past them at 3 qtr time when score were nearly level and said "to old, to slow".......they have had the wood on us, cant remember the year but get your stats from then!

I just showed you the stats. In the past 4 years we've played them six times. We've won two , drawn one and lost three.
I'm sorry but that doesn't equate to them having any sort of wood on us

So true. If we win a final it's a bonus. Making it and not losing like Norf or the Bummers is a big leap in improvement.
Having said that I reckon the Bummers would kill for a 90-100 point flogging first week rather than watching on. :shh
-
I don't think we're the type of club that would make finals and not do anything. We get there and we'll do some damage especially in melbourne

That's a snap shot, go back further. Get the points we were beaten by too.
-
get off your lazy behind and find the stats yourself mate
you dont even know what year frawley started this so called bogey and you want dice to waste his time? lmao
here's the wood pal
RFC v NORF
82 wins v 67 wins
we could forfeit every game against them until they were extinct and they still wouldnt have the wood on us :thumbsup :thumbsup
-
aving said that, Norf! for the win :shh
-
Norf will win. They always beat us. Plus we're due for a loss
Very juicy odds and I'll be getting on em
-
nah we got this :thumbsup
-
nah we got this :thumbsup
I'll bump when we lose by 2 points with a Drew Petrie speccy over Rance with 1 second to go in the goal square
He shanks it and they win by 2 after leading by 1 in the dying seconds

Yeh I don't doubt they beat us back when we were winning wooden spoons. Everyone had the wood on us back then.
Cutting to the chase , i consider a team to have the wood on us when we haven't beaten them in years. Over the past 4 years we've performed reasonably against them so there aint no Kennet curse or anything.
Hopefully we have a win and we'll bring the recent ledger back to even this week.... 3 wins , 3 losses and a draw

Fair enough, I think it was the games like the McCarthy game that really peeed me off, since then I just want to smash them, just like te Cary days.

You could have had Rance falling over somewhere in there

I stuffing knew we would lose this.

Epic fail.

We win next week we are 10-5 and we have won 2 out of 3 games.
Yes it was terrible yesterday we know and yes it was Nought.
Sit on the couch lads grab a beer and a bag of chips and relax.
Most of us have to go to work tomorrow. ;D

Agree, just remember that is our worst loss over the last 2 seasons, everyone has a bad day. Will bounce back!! :gotigers

Yep yesterday was our heaviest loss since July 24 2011 when we lost at Etihad by 62 points to Geelong.
One door closes another one opens.

You got that right. We ain't seen nothing yet...

Very big let down against the Roos but somewhat expected for mine, can we make it two fails??
-
you wish.....

you wish.....
Not at all! Hence the ??
-
I believe we'll win on Saturday.
Whilst it is difficult to forget the result in Cairns in 2011 & 2012 I believe we are a better team and have learnt better this year given how we reacted for the Port game after 3 straight losses and the West Coast game after being well beaten by Peptidedon.
