I'm going along today determined to discover this elusive mammal called The Richmond Way" of playing - hoping to work out the characteristics of this version of AFL football.
What is it?
How does it work?
How will we know it happening/not happening?
Does it actually help us win or play other teams into form?
How does it differs to Danny Frawleys "Richmond Way" - he also lamented unrichmond like performances
Does it lift or lower the quality of the spectacle?
Is it the coach, players, list,recruiting dept, Benny or Peggy's vision that delivers it?
I'm reaching out to the OER community- if we pool our knowledge then together I am sure we can work this whole thing out
-
Easy..
Its uninspiring, turning the ball over, slow, unsure, poor decision making, having the wrong players in the wrong positions and absolute crap..
See. We play it so well!!
-
By the sounds of it, it's winning, exciting, tough football. We haven't played like that since 1995
-
I thought we were pretty good in 2013 ^
-
I think it means playing the Hawthorn way but he probably can't be seen to be copying

Maybe Dimma needs Swooper as his senior assistant

Insipid
-
Putrid, unaccountable, modern day football.

I think we're delivering on that style of football....

As i see it.
It is an attempt at possession football combined with cynical negative defensive tactics involving deliberate out of bounds, physical contact at every occasion in order to impede the opposition player, both legally and illegally, jumper holding, sheperds the lot.
It is a leaf out of the Leigh Mathews school of footy and basically it is modern football.
-
ask Caro. She uses the term freely. Even l'm not sure what it is. l presume it's about winning. Just win the game. Well every club trys that lol But ask Caro someone :snidegrin

You'd hope what we got in quarters 2, 3 & 4 is the Richmond way
And the tripe from the 1st quarter isn't but........................

Well according to Hardwick on Fox Footy's On The Couch last night that was actually(paraphrasing) "The North Melbourne way" (slingshot/setting up goals from half back)and he hopes we go back to winning "The Richmond way" which is apparently setting up goals from turnovers in our forward half....though when directly asked what the Richmond way was he basically dodged the question and said we prefer to keep that in-house and not tell the whole world before saying something about "maintaining the highest standards" .....
-
You're kidding yourselves.
Stop it, ffs.
This RFC way of playing football is clearly the average standard of crap they have dealt up for thirty years.
Anything above that is what THEY HAVE BEEN ASPIRING TO GET TO but without consistency it's merely a target
So the RFC way of playing football is non existent at best and deeply seeded in nostalgia at best.
They've don't nothing in the last 30 years to suggest they have a style whatsoever.

what a stuffing moron. In patches we played some of our most exciting footy in a long long time and he fobs it off

this
it doesn't exist
its just another pr stunt to appease the masses
that is all.

Hardwick called them insipid two weeks ago.
It was the first time he gavearealistic appraisal of his team.
The RFC style of playing is, by statistic strength - insipid.
So don't kid urself

Dimma defines the Richmond way

May 19, 2015
Tigers’ coach Damien Hardwick has provided an explanation of what the ‘Richmond way’ means.
The term has been used increasingly by Hardwick and Richmond players in the public form, as a benchmark for the team’s performance.
“It’s a set of standards and behaviours that our players abide by and play by,” Hardwick told Fox Footy’s ‘On The Couch’ last night.
“Every player that puts on the Richmond jumper knows the expectation of what is required, both on-field and off-field from those.
“Most clubs will have them, there’s no doubt about that, but probably when we’re playing our best footy, those are the things that are done to an incredible level.
“At various stages, with the consistency of performance that we speak about, those standards haven’t been met. That’s probably the disappointing thing, and the thing that the players hang their hat on the most of the time.
“It’s been working for us . . . it’s been something that’s been a long time coming, but I think the players are starting to really get the idea of it and, more importantly, run with it.”

Ah! Good! So glad that the club has cleared that up!
Not!
-
No wonder we don't know what to expect from the players- that is the most confused answer to a simple question ever!!!
-
Ex brissy lion, Martin Pike, once said on the radio. When its your turn to go you go. Pretty simple really.

Not sure where the last 7 qtrs of high pressure and intensity footy has suddenly come from but more of this please!
No surprise really we are now winning thanks to a high tackle count (87 tonight). No more insipid soft bruise free footy of the first 6.25 weeks.
