At least the pies showed something in patches.
We showed zip!
-
half teams & silly rules means nothing
round 1 will show the real results if the players are willing to play for the jumper
some of them lads wont even make the top 30 so dont threat
dont lose ya balls over a practice match where the players are told to just loosen up & get a feel of whats required
dont do anything silly to get injured thats gunna hurt the club come the main season
heard it all before from the mouths of the horses troting
RFC is happy its out of the NAB night series let the games begin
bring on Carlscum
-
we showed a bit in patches, cass, newman, petts, brown, moore king foley lids morton all showed they are in for good yrs
and btw if bucks says he saw the wooden spooners he is right, 2007 was our spoon yr.
on the w/e i also saw the premiers play , geelong
bucks, overrated wank.
if it wasnt for th emedia and eddie he would not be rated and btw, he never deserved that brownlow

Despite playing totally crap we were undeservedly in the game for 3 quarters. The Pies were gone 10mins into the 2nd and showed sweet bugger all. In any case basing season predictions on one round of the NAB cup is ludicrous.
-
The best thing to happen for our clubs future is a 16th place finish with the first 2 picks in the national draft.

that's the spirit ::)

in AFL the only thing that counts is the flag, finishing 2nd is as bad as last, infact 2nd is worse than last because of the draft. We need more talent because we havent got enough. Thats the reality of our position in my humble opinion.

Poor old Naffan needs to take a reality pill. Richmond were terrible and there is no hope. The Pies were abysmal and it's just a blip. Give me a break... :banghead
And if you want to see a team that has a distinct lack of leadership look at Collingowwd at the minute - who is going to captain them ;) ;D

Mate 16 th 15 th 14 th whatever, I would take a GF Berth anyday.
Actually I would give my right nut just to see us in a final at the moment.
Get your point tho

one thing i really hated about buckley is that during his career he blasted the crap out of his players when disposal was bad to him, or errors were made, he sooked whinged whined and remonstated more and worse than richo, but the media and to eddie protected this tools image and lack of leadership
and i was there friday night
we were crap, but we for many/major parts of the game domintaed clearance , hard ball, and general play. decision making and skill errors killed us as usual
lets hope that by rnd one these defficiencies are sorted out
-
yes Nathan you did see the 2007 wooden spooners on Friday night ;D
nothing nostradamus like there from buckley, he has seen the worst team from the year before play like crap and predicted this, any footballer worth their salt puts very little credence to pre-season performance especially in a farcical competition such as the NAB. He could very well be right, but smells of someone trying to become the next big expert in the broadcast media making such predictions in the first week of the pre-season.
disappointing to see some of the same old crap on fri, but there was stuff in there that was very heartening but it's sometimes hard for people to see that when you are used to rubbish performance
-
Can't be too upset with commentators commentating. It's up to us, or more accurately the team, to shut these peoples mouths with solid performances on the field, something they have not done. Let people like Buckley say what they like because they will whether we like it or not. Getting all worked up about it serves no purpose and it is something we as supporters have no control over. He's got to say something, it's what he's paid to do. Taking pot shots at us is easy, safe, takes little imagination or brain and, lets face it, justified when looking at recent history.

Yep. Says a lot about those that do. :shh

smoke the problem is weve seen it all before and the defenders come out and say we are wrong and we'll be proven wrong and we dont know what we're talking about, at about R7 they usually start to admit that we were right and by R11 theyve joined in the criticisms. I dont think this year will be very different, I hope Im wrong but I feel our season will be done and dusted early in 2008.

Whether we have seen it all before or not is not the issue, basing any prediction on any team after Round 1 of the NAB Cup is ludicrous. Basing it on your list or your gut feeling or your draw or your injuries makes more sense than on the first practice match of the season and what we have seen in this forum reflects other forums, talkback radio etc. So many Richmond supporters have lost the plot after an unimportant and irrelevant first hitout. Ludicrous.
-
i havent lost the plot, even though some may think i have lol
but terry does not have long to change things around
but i live in hope, that by rnd 1 terry will wake up and have our team fine tuned to flog the blues to kindom come, judd or no judd!

Agree that it is too soon to judge, and I certainly won't be, but I do understand the reaction of some supporters. Watching us against St Kilda did give me a sinking feeling but I accept we did not play well and I am not going to depress myself in the pre season. I will accept they are rusty and without match practice.
On one level I feel a bit silly, manipulated and used and abused by staying positive and being patent. There are times I feel the team doesn't deserve mine, our anyone else's support. But what can you do? I watch and support footy to enjoy myself. I personally get no pleasure from picking holes and criticising. I have no choice but to remain positive and look to the future. I follow Richmond and that will not change. I'm a little bit stuck I am afraid.
Roll on round 1. :gotigers

Couldn't have said it better myself. I also didn't like what I saw on Friday night and a part of me does have that sinking feeling but I have firm, balanced and justified (all in my eyes of course) reasons for remaining positive. Only history will tell me if I got it right or wrong but I'm too old in life to be suckered in and let the result/performance of our first practice match turn me into Chicken Little.

True RROFO. He could have easily said the Dees or wishful thinking his own Pies based on the NAB Cup but he chose us because you're right we are easy targets. Still if we're so crap then what does that say about teams like the Pies that lose to us ;).
