Thanks mate
-
Bad start
-
Obviously not a great finals team. Very fumbly. Umpires shocking, missed 3 holding the balls already
What's the go with Eggs hair. Ridiculous.
-
Panic stations
-
CCJ will be a very good player for us. Back in it big time kicking 2 against the breeze.
-
I think Ross and CCJ will be long term players for us. Really impressed with the Hyphen.
-
Who are the commentators? They spent all quarter talking about Essendon's game plan & how it would win it for them ... which is all very rosy when you are kicking with a five goal gale!
Now its our turn with the wind .... :whistle
-
How many holding the ball decisions to these umps miss??
Don't get prior opportunity rule.
-
Poor start again. Goal bombers.
33-14
-
Hate Essendon even at vfl level
-
Another goal bombers. Can't get the ball right now. 40-14
-
Shocking start to 2nd quarter
-
Geez Garthwaite is poo
-
Too many soft duds. Not seen us win a clearance yet. stuffen hopeless
-
Much needed goal menadue
Back to 19
-
Another missed tackle then down field against Morris for late tackle. Goal. Then they get another shot as we're idiots. False bravado.
Just get the pill.
45-20
-
Their smashing us.
-
Only the young kids putting there hand up next week.Kmac and Butler and Menadue quiet.Chol will come in next week Nank looks unfit.
-
Fmd there are some idiot bomber supporters around me
Another cheap 50 and goal for Ess
-
Another 50 metres against, another goal.
We are gone mentally here. They've lost the plot again and going the man not the ball.
Another goal while typing.
Game over
-
WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON?
-
58-20
-
Lot of blokes who don't want contact out there.
No clean ball and we continue to fumble badly.
-
Much needed goal. 58-27. Menadue
-
Bombers well on top mentally. Some real thugs out there too, umpires very one eyed essendon.
RCD looks good imo, will be a player...
-
Umpiring is pathetic, clear holding missed again then pays a soft against chol for blocking.
No. 4 umpire don't quit your day job mate.
McIntosh doing himself no favours.
I blame Eggs haircut for our performance today. What were you thinking!!!
-
i think people like Ross cause he loks like a young Dusty.....BUT he is absolute crap...no footskills whatsever, which is something Dusty had from day 1
CCJ on the other hand is going to be a gun
-
Umpire No. 22 just reported Towner for a dangerous tackle. You should be embarrassed to be an umpire.
Apparently you cant tackle anymore.
Laughable report.
-

Laughable report.
Was a good/dangerous sling tackle to hurt. I don't like that Long he's a tosser along w #70
-
Just got home from work
Don't think this is going to plan :-\
-
Playing dumb and without composure....tigers of old.... >:(
On the brightside...CCJ & Chol combo's going to wreak havoc come 2021...possibly even sooner... :shh
-
We are for the tip losing to this mob
-
Softer than a beer poo this team
-
I can't watch the umpiring. Another 2 missed non holding the balls. If you break a tackle then get tackled it's holding the ball. Momentum killer and goal to them back to 32
-
Been taught a finals lesson today. So much harder and cleaner than us. Out to 40.
-
I can see why Naish can't get a game. If he's not getting it on the outside he can't get near it. Needs an inside game
-
Finally pay a holding the ball, against us but there
-
Ross clearly under done. They should never have played him in the first so soon. Needs to get himself sorted.
-
Missing the big bodies of our vfl players today. I guess you've got to play the youngsters but it's cost us dearly today.
-
Ross clearly under done. They should never have played him in the first so soon. Needs to get himself sorted.
Agree, looks unfit
-
I can see why Naish can't get a game. If he's not getting it on the outside he can't get near it. Needs an inside game
Another reason I hope we go after Rory Laird... :shh
-
I don’t think the vfl players know how to handpass properly.
Only just started watching from 3 rd quarter but I don’t think I’ve seen one handball go to a chest today. :banghead
-
Ross looks hurt. Any news?
-
Pickett... :shh
-
I'm surrounded by bomber players lol
-
Great comeback
Is macintosh playing I’ve seen him once in two quarters.
-
Pickett looks a very special player.
Does the spectacular and oozes skill, can lay a hard tackle when required.
-
Wow. Nank has to get the call up
-
Oh boy, I take back my previous 25 posts.
What a comeback.
-
Pickett in for Shortsteps, Nank & Chol in for Slomo & Balta :shh
-
Is the game finished?
-
Yes it is, we won by 2 from 40 down.... :clapping
-
Lol, unbelievable
-
What happen lol must have got a spray big time.
-
Bombers ran out of puff after 3rd Q.
Nank, Pickett massive. Great team effort.
-
As bad a three quarters that you’ll see but wow what a last qtr.
Nank and Pickett stood up BIG time!
-
Can I request MT scour Bomber Blitz for the best melt downs?
-
CCJ + Chol + Pickett are legit future players. CCJ moves incredibly well for a big man, great marking.
-
Didn’t see the full game only the second half.
I didn’t see Macintosh except for twice. Granted the ball only crossed half way twice in the last quarter so he may have been down back.
-
Just been over at BB reading the meltdowns haha.
Lots of carry on about how we had 20ish AFL listed players to their 11, and then they rested some Snelling guy who might fly over to Perth etc haha
-

Was playing on the wing seemed to move down back second half.
Honestly don’t think anyone other than the rucks would be considered to come into the AFL side. Pickett really stood up but doubt they’ll debut him in a final. Should have been playing him in the middle from the get-go.
-
How many possies dod pickett get?
-
20 and a goal. Class though!

Number 25 isn't too bad either considering he kicked the match winner :shh

We need more ball winning extractors. We have too many that don’t get enough ball.

Nank was an absolute beast. Invaluable for finals
-

Without both of them we wouldn't have been close enough in the first place for the kick to matter.... :shh

Will the prelim be at punt road or a neutral ground?

I was disappointed with Marlion at half time, almost totally missing in the first half. But that fantastic gutsy mark & goal in the third turned it all around for him! :clapping
Great display of leadership to lead the comeback with Nank in the last! Well coached to throw the hot players into the middle for the last quarter. :clapping
-
Think I read somewhere our prelim will at North Port Oval.... :huh
-
Why not a home final? Capacity too small?
Punt should get some small stadium seating around it, make it legit

Nank the hero as VFL Tigers come back from the brink
Brenton Mann
AFL media
Aug 31, 2019 6:51PM
Richmond VFL has staged a stunning comeback, recording a two-point qualifying final win over Essendon at the Swinburne Centre on Saturday afternoon.
The Tigers, 40-points down at three-quarter time, booted seven-goals-to-one in a tension-packed final term.
Toby Nankervis was the hero, his match-winning set-shot swinging home on the breeze, leaving seconds on the clock as the ball left his boot.
Richmond was jumped by the Bombers in the opening half, as the visitors stunned the ladder-leaders with four goals in the first 14 minutes of the first quarter.
The Bombers baited and frustrated the Tigers for the first three quarters, before the home side steeled itself and poured all its energy into getting back into the contest.
Nankervis was a rucking goliath in the last quarter, controlling the centre square and stoppages, surging the ball forward at will.
The rucking monolith was aptly supported by premiership teammates in Dan Butler, Jacob Townsend and Kamdyn McIntosh, who all stood up in big moments.
Butler was dynamic and elusive inside-50, jagging three goals in the frantic final term.
Townsend was flint-hard around the ball and McIntosh, ice cool in the back-half.
When Essendon burst of the blocks, there was stunned silence at Punt Road Oval.
Aided by a stiff breeze, the Bombers exposed a slightly disjointed Tigers’ defence and scored with ease at times.
Essendon surged the ball forward at will, getting in behind Richmond’s defensive structure and storming into open space inside 50.
It took until the backend of the first quarter for Richmond to arrest back a slither of momentum and hit the scoreboard.
Mabior Chol played his first game back at the level since his AFL promotion, and brought his stellar form with him.
Chol, sensing his team needed a spark, out-muscled his opponent at a forward-50 stoppage and snapped truly on his left, in front of the horde of Tigers in the Jack Dyer Stand.
Townsend then pounced at the chance to snatch a forward-50 turnover, intercepting a kick back into the corridor, then coolly settling on the run and nailing the goal.
The margin was back to 14 points by quarter-time.
Richmond seemed to be caught a little off-guard by the Bombers urgency and immense pressure around the ball.
The Tigers were desperate to start the better in the second term but Essendon had other ideas.
The Bombers slotted two early goals before Callum Coleman-Jones and Connor Menadue combined for Richmond’s third, with the ruckman releasing Menadue into the corridor and the wingman snapping truly.
Unfortunately for the home side, the Bombers then went on a three-goal run before Menadue found space once again, this time snapping truly on his left.
Jake Aarts provided the spark early in the last quarter.
Aarts, hemmed in on the boundary, shook-off three would-be tacklers to fire off a handball to Dan Butler, who found space and snapped his second goal.
The 2018 draftee was involved moments later, this time as the goal-kicker, and Richmond had a pulse.
Butler would go on to kick two more goals in the last quarter, taking his tally to an equal game-high four for the game.
Callum Moore drew the Tigers within a point, before Mabior Chol’s set-shot cannoned into the goal post, levelling up the scores.
The ball was parked in Richmond’s front-half for the majority of the final term but with scores level, Essendon blasted the ball inside 50, where Mark Baguley’s snap sailed through.
The Bombers were up by a goal with minutes left in the game.
Riley Collier-Dawkins had a flying shot at goal which drifted to the wrong side of the post before Nankervis sent the Tiger Army into delirium.
Richmond also found a new hero, with Marlion Pickett endearing himself to the Tiger faithful with a second half to savour.
With his side desperate for a spark to light the flicker of hope, Pickett tracked a floating ball back inside-50, eyes only for the ball, and leapt into the converging pack, crashing to the ground, the ball hugged to his chest.
Pickett, unflustered and unflappable, slotted his second goal of the third term, the first time the Tigers kicked back-to-back goals for the game.
It may be seen, in time, as the act that defined one of the greatest comeback’s in the Club’s VFL history.

Tigers wait on Nank after starring role in stunning VFL win
AFL.com.au

Aug 31, 2019 7:05PM
RICHMOND expects to know within 48 hours whether Toby Nankervis will be fit to face the Brisbane Lions, after the premiership Tiger starred in their VFL team's thrilling qualifying final win on Saturday.
Nankervis, on return from a groin complaint, kicked the winning goal in the Tigers' come-from-behind two-point win over Essendon at Punt Road after he was awarded a free kick with seconds remaining.
The goal, which put the Tigers through a preliminary final in two weeks' time, capped off a strong performance from the 25-year-old in his first game since round 21.
Nankervis ended with 33 hit-outs, 22 disposals and three tackles from around 80 minutes of game time.
It was an encouraging display from the big man, who was returning from residual soreness from the groin issue that saw him miss 11 games from round eight.
Earlier, Tigers recruit Marlion Pickett also caught the eye with a courageous mark going back with the flight of the ball. He added 21 disposals and 2.1 in another promising display.
Ruckman Mabior Chol was also impressive with 13 hit-outs and two goals, with McRae conceding the athletic big man was in competition with Nankervis for the Tigers' second ruck spot behind Ivan Soldo.
Noah Balta, the other tall option, was selected in round 23 ahead of Chol but didn't make a strong impression after he suffered a corked thigh during the game.
He missed Saturday's VFL final with the same injury but was expected to be available for selection next week.
Connor Menadue kicked two goals and was prolific while recent draftee Marlion Pickett showed just why he was plucked out of Perth mid-season, but premiership player Kamdyn McIntosh had just eight touches as he rotated between the backline and wing.
Premiership Tiger Jacob Townsend kicked an important steadier in the first quarter but was reported for a dangerous tackle on Jake Long moments before half-time.

Nankervis set to earn AFL recall
Sam Edmund and James Mottershead,
Herald Sun
1 September 2019
Toby Nankervis has almost certainly forced his way into Richmond’s qualifying final team to face Brisbane after a stunning VFL comeback at Punt Road.
Nankervis kicked the match-winning goal with a minute left to sink Essendon, having inspired the Tigers to a 40-point comeback after three-quarter time in a 15.10 (100) to 15.8 (98) win.
The ruckman finished with a team-high 22 disposals and 33 hit-outs despite playing only 70 per cent of the game on carefully-managed minutes.
On a dramatic afternoon, Nankervis looked every bit the rusty returning ruckman at half-time before coming to life in the second half to lift the Tigers.
Now the Richmond medicos will hope his adductor problem doesn’t flare up again.
“We played him with a view to hoping he gets through and at least gives us the option of making some decisions over the next few weeks over who plays in the ruck,” Balme said.
“We set him up to not play the whole game and just to give him a run, but clearly at three-quarter time he thought, ‘I’m going to do something a bit more than that here’.
“Essendon were fantastic the first three quarters. They were that committed and hard at it, we just couldn’t get the footy.
“They knew they had to lift the rating and I guess ‘Nank’ looked at it and thought, ‘Why not me?’”
Marlion Pickett (21 disposals, two goals) was everywhere in the last term and showed flashes of brilliance throughout, none more so than when he was collected after running back with the flight to take a breathtaking mark in the third quarter.
Dan Butler wound back the clock with four goals, while Mabior Chol and Callum Coleman-Jones made solid contributions.

Can I request MT scour Bomber Blitz for the best melt downs?
If you read their game thread it goes from 'game won' to disbelief, devastation & mega meltdown within half an hour :rollin.
https://discourse.bomberblitz.com/t/vfl-week-1-finals-vs-richmond-punt-road-2-10pm-saturday-31-august-2019-on-telly/16703/780
Aussie cricket team: all time great choke of a loss. suck on that
Essington: hold my motherstuffen beer homie
This club is a stuffn piece of poo to support
Classic Essendon, mentally weak and even more so in a physical sense
That sucks, unfortunately just a deep seated culture of failure has inflicted the club
Pathetic, stuffn pathetic.
Reeks of everything this club has become.
What a pee take this club is.
oh please, we lead by 40 points and lost, wasn’t the umpiring and wasn’t the time keepers, that was the side playing. They choked worse than South Africa in the world cup final.
Umpires didn’t cost us. Heart and effort did. Pathetic. Embarrassing. Same old Essendon.
If you’re not furious from a 45 point turnaround in a final you shouldn’t call yourself a fan
Disappointing for Essendon, disappointing for footy
That was vomit worthy I feel sick
Going to go home and punch my pet tiger in the face
■■■■ I hate sport. I mean seriously. Will I ever be able to have some semblance of joy from AFL? or is sneaking a win every now and again against a top 4 team the best my team will ever have in my adult lifetime? I follow the same ■■■■ team for 15 years going on 16 with the same supporters telling me that “it’ll be better next year” and now have to swallow your VFL team up by 40 points at three quarter time only to put on one of the all time great losses in history. We’re gonna ■■■■en get done easily in 6 days time too, what’s the bet we’re up by a few goals at quarter time and end up losing by 12 goals.
Even during bye week in the AFL this club still manages to disappoint me.
■■■■ off Essendon.
Turn the lights off.
This club is ■■■■ed
We are a pathetic club. A stinky, pathetic, poohouse club that has done nothing for almost 20 years and are entirely built off the delusional hopes of boomers who last enjoyed football happiness in their 20’s (and are now 40+) whilst the younger generation lives off youtube highlight videos. West Coast dropping 7 goals in a quarter to go up by 13 goals, probably in the third, whilst the crowd roars its appreciation of Nic Nat will be the final straw. there is just no excuse at any level for giving up a 40 point lead in the last.
lol welcome to the face of another 20 years of mediocrity.
“oh it was an excellent effort, well done players on playing for 3 1/4s then doing nothing in the last to lose after leading by 40 points, wasn’t your fault, you are just a patched up side”.
I could not give a ■■■■ what the same selection of supporters who STILL think we’re gonna be good every year and that that was a “good effort old chum” think, if you’re good enough to be 40 points up, you do NOT, under any circumstance lose. at any level. What’s the all time AFL record at three quarter time, 42 points against Melbourne, in the entire afl history?
Danny Younan is a VERY good VFL player. Heath Hocking is a very good VFL player, Kurt Aylett used to be listed on an AFL list, Aaron Heppell is a very, very good VFL listed player. Just because you’re a VFL listed player doesn’t mean you’re the a dwarf trying to bring down the giant that is an AFL listed player. half the AFL listed players are average at best, richmond had afl listed players that were kids or inexperienced.
if you think losing this after being up by 40 just because things got a little tough is OK then i’ll assume you’re the same bunch of supporters that tell everyone every year that it’s gonna be ok, and probably the same bunch of supporters that will tell everyone that it’ll be ok when we get done Thursday.
they literally played ONE, ONE quarter of good football and beat us after we dominated for three quarters. we ■■■■ the bed so badly that it ranks as one of the all time great chokes. genuine LOL at people kidding themselves that think that if we somehow make a GF, that we’ll beat them. Mate if they decide to turn up for more than a quarter things will go ugly. won’t matter anyway as we won’t get there.
it would have been nice to give old boys Bags and Myers something, anything to be happy about in their Essington careers. this about sums it up. and if you’re gonna sook about my post don’t bother, you won’t change my mind that this was a “top effort” and I won’t convince you that this was a poohouse effort.
Doesn’t matter what level this club plays in they find a way to break your heart. So so so fickin over Richmond owning us, when will this nightmare end! so stuffing over losing to them. Absolutely owned!
Was out all day, got home and saw the last 2 minutes.
Whilst it peeed me off, I just laughed and thought yep. That’s us!!!

Think I read somewhere our prelim will at North Port Oval.... :huh
Correct long time VFL commmercial arrangement all remaining finals except the GF are at Port Melb
Actually only 2 finals not at North Port Oval are the 2 qualifying finals from yesterday
Why not a home final? Capacity too small?
Punt should get some small stadium seating around it, make it legit
OH&S reasons prevent an increase of capcity at PRO
-
Think I read somewhere our prelim will at North Port Oval.... :huh
correct, all finals except for week 1 & GF are held at North Port
-
Where’s Chris Scott when we need him ?
Also, massive LOL at the BB poster “I’m going home to punch my pet tiger in the face”
Classic
-
RCD 7 touches - needs a big pre-season, some intensive midfield coaching and made to watch videos of Fyfe on repeat all summer then be made to run with the best opposition mids all next year .. :shh
-
I did have a peak on the BB thread myself, was a little less grim and a little more circumspect that I was expecting. I wanted irrational, emotional word vomit. What I found was pretty honest summaries of the game. Most were expecting us to come at them in the last, most felt it was a fair free kick to Nank.
Touché BB, touché...
-
I thought Chol showed a bit. Looked like he didn't want to lose.
Good signs..... :shh
