A snippet from Plough's press conference from SEN
* We were more prepared than last year for the way they played compare to last year. However Plan A fell apart pretty quickly and it looked like we would get blown away by 100 points. So we used then plan B and C and got back into the game.
* Hawthorn have been able to play every game on their terms. Watched their Adelaide and they won comfortably.
* Hawthorn were the better side on the night and far more advanced than us but in saying that our boys stayed in it to their credit.
* Mentioned the contest in the last quarter on our half-forward line when we were a kick down where there could have been 6 frees but there wasn't and the Hawks ran it down for the sealing goal.

they kicked poor thats their fault
but there is no excuse why the umpires week in week out crucify us
i hate these maggot mutha fudigng bastards
they may not wear white anymore but they are still rotten maggots

Over 20 more inside F 50 you will find.
That says it all

Bad kicking is bad football and that can be attributed to our defenders learning how to force the forwards to lead into the pocket. They're getting smarter.

no it dosnt, i recall many games in teh passed where we had heaps more inside 50;s and still got thumped or beaten.
wayne carey has always said, and i agree with him that inside 50 stats are useless, mean nothing.
we let them inside 50, but as TA said we forced them wide and made them kick from low perentage spots, hence the score line
in the end cyrils arse goal, the bs goals they got form bs free kicks that were not there, and the sealer they kicked cos umpires again cant do their job had a mojor influence on the result

I havent looked at the stats, but i thought we had a great run with the umpires tonight and got a lot of frees we shouldnt have.

A bit dissappointed that the umpys don`t reward solid tackles. It seems that if you get the ball out of a tackle it doesnt matter how it was disposed of as long as you get it out. Terrys right about that exchange in the forward line, they just let the ball roll from their hands every time they got touched and never got penalised.

X is right it was umpire #10 >:( his a bastard of the AFL, he was totaly against us.
The umpires could have given them a few free kicks in the goal square but that umpire was equaling up for his bad offsider
If you had a stats sheet on the 3 field umpires it would clearly show umpire #10 was clearly against the RFC

as for Wallace saying they were the better team l disagree l reckon we were in it all day
stop protecting that Mcmahon he is a offender & Newman over the weeks has turned to poo

stats mean nothing, its the soft non existant frees they gave to them, and they heaps they missed for us
we tackled hard and unrewarded, many of them did 360s, dropped the ball threw the ball or were given an eternity to get rid of it
many times they chopped our arms, pushed in the back or hit our players over the shoulder and we got nothing
and they got heaps of goals as a result of a free that wasnt there or was real soft or from frees that were missed for us which they inturn got it fwd and goaled
even on sen, and ex umpire called in and said that the umpiring was bad and hurt the tigers
for an umpire and geelong supporter to bag the umpires and say on air that they fav the hawks , i must be right

Umpire #10 X the biggest cheating bastard, he started it from early 1st quarter
dont worry cousin Geishien will be getting a phone call this week the fat prick

just shoot him monk

put it this way X the next family outing l maybe reported :lol :rollin

What frustrates supporters with umpiring is inconsistency. I have no probs with the whistle being put away during good contest after good contest (I prefer it actually) but it should be done over the whole games. No use paying technical soft incendental frees in the first quarter that gift players goalscoring opportunites and then late in the game just flap your arms like a lunatic and let it all go. The state and stage of the game shouldn't make a difference to umpiring decisions.

Wallace: Hawks the best side in six years

RICHMOND coach Terry Wallace believes that Hawthorn is the best drilled side he has seen since Sydney emerged as a force six years ago.
Speaking after his side’s 12 point loss, Wallace said that the Hawks played a different style to any other team in the competition.
"I think they have taken the game to another level and it is a credit to their coaching staff and to the playing group. Probably this time last year we weren't that ready for it but this time around we knew how they were going to play it," Wallace said.
"We had Plan A in place and it fell apart very quickly and it looked like we were going to get beaten by a dozen goals if we kept going down that pathway."
Wallace said that by the time he deployed his third alternative plan the Tigers were able to get the game played on their terms rather than Hawthorn’s.
Wallace was referring to the difficulties of penetrating Hawthorn’s "rolling zone".
"I watched Adelaide get beaten by them a couple of weeks ago and they just beat (Adelaide) quite comfortably and people got frustrated by either kicking down a line and having it pushed very wide or by taking them on through the middle of the ground where their handball action comes into the game."
Wallace said that he felt the game was in the balance when there was a succession of tackles in front of the members’ stand half way through the last quarter.
"There could have been six different free kicks paid at any time and I had the feeling that whichever way it went, it was going to be pretty big in the result. It spilled out and went their way and they kicked a goal and sealed the game."
Wallace paid tribute to Matthew Richardson’s indomitable running capacity, both working back into defence and up forward later in the day.
Wallace refuted the suggestion by his opposite number Alistair Clarkson that he had dropped an extra man back all day.
"We played Matthew Richardson in the wing and Matthew plays the game pushing forward and working behind the ball at times. We never, ever lined up with one bloke sitting in the back half of the ground. If it did it was from a rollover of someone not picking someone up."
Wallace said that no side had managed to have more than 50 entries into the forward 50 zone this year.
"We couldn’t control the corridor like we have controlled the corridor in other games, couldn’t get our play-ons going, or our running bounces going.”
Wallace said the Hawthorn tactics were "fascinating stuff" and the "next generation of footy".
"No wonder he (Alistair Clarkson) wants lockout sessions because he’s doing things that other people are not doing at the moment. I don’t think I’ve seen a side do it any better than Hawthorn, ever. That's a pretty reasonable rap, I suppose.
"What they are trying to do is get you to kick the ball wide and then keep you wide and not get any sort of play back in the centre corridor at all."

Rich pickings in defeat for Wallace
Herald-Sun | Rebecca Williams | April 28, 2008
RICHMOND coach Terry Wallace praised the Tigers' new-found intensity after they finished within 12 points of a Hawthorn unit he described as playing the "next generation of footy" last night.
While Hawthorn's inaccuracy allowed Richmond to stay in the twilight clash at the MCG, Wallace said he could not fault the tenacity of his side against the unbeaten Hawks.
"I could not be more pleased with the blokes that are playing in the senior side at the moment," Wallace said.
"We've played two of the best three sides in the competition and we are 12 points down over a fortnight.
"From that point of view, we only had two points out of the last two weeks, but it's certainly a change to the manner in which our blokes are going about their footy.
"Their ferocity has improved enormously and their real will and desire is there, but we just have to tidy up a couple of things and hopefully we can play some pretty good footy in the next couple of weeks.
"The signs are pretty reasonable. If they put that intensity into games, we'll win as many as we lose, that's for sure."
Wallace dismissed talk the Tigers, who had 227 handballs for the game, had fallen into the trap of over-using the ball as they did against Collingwood three weeks ago.
"Hawthorn play a different style of play than nearly any other side in the competition," Wallace said.
"They are the best drilled team I have seen in the last six or seven years, probably since Sydney played a different style to everyone else.
"Hawthorn has taken the game to another level and that's a credit to their coaching staff. What they are doing is getting the game played on their terms week-in, week-out and that's the difficulty when you come up against them.
"It's the next generation of footy and no wonder (Alastair Clarkson) wants to have lock-out sessions because he is doing things that other people aren't doing at the moment."
Wallace lauded the contribution of veteran Matthew Richardson, who again enjoyed being able to roam the field to finish with the impressive figures of four goals, 27 disposals and 13 marks.
"To see the amount of work that he is doing is quite amazing," Wallace said.
"That's why he has been such a great athlete in the game. I think he is enjoying the ability to get around the ground and compete like that and he is playing some pretty good footy.
"Obviously another four goals as a wingman is not a bad effort. He is getting as many now as what he was really getting as a key forward for us."
Wallace would not speculate on when veteran backman Joel Bowden might get back in the senior team after playing the last three games in the VFL.
"That's a match committee discussion, that's not for public consumption," he said.

Umpire #10 X the biggest cheating bastard, he started it from early 1st quarter
dont worry cousin Geishien will be getting a phone call this week the fat prick
We were massacared by the umpires.
It doesn't help when experienced players like Newman consistently tackle high, but in general they got the 50-50s. Can't believe Simmo got pinged for a 50 when the whistle hadn't been blown for a mark and then up the other end the umpire doesn't give a 50 because the late Hawk "wouldn't have heard the whistle".
This is where a bit of positive PR goes a long way - Hawks are currently the darlings and there soon-to-be superstar team can do no wrong. On the other hand we are battlers in the umpires eyes and scrap our way through the game. Good to see a few positive articles out there this morning.

blaming umpires for a loss is peeweak. get over it.

4 of thier goals come from bad umpiring :shh

A great four quarter effort from the team and tremendous coaching from TW! :thumbsup
I was particularly impressed by TW tactic to drop a big player (ie Richo, Polak, Patto) back into 'Buddies pocket' and forcing their forwards wide thus their low conversion rate.
The fact that TW had to change his game plan three times during the game to find a method to hamper the Hawks aggressive style adds more evidence to the fact that TW is a very good game day coach.
All in all I am very impressed with the progress of the team, style of play and culture at the club that has been growing over the year.
Here is hoping it continues :pray

Post of the week Stripes! :thumbsup
Many people have not paid enough respect to how good Hawthorn actually are and how hard EVERY side is finding it to shut them down. We made them work bloody hard for 4 quarters and in the end they still didn't shake us. We might not have played aesthetically pleasing or mistake free football but we reacted, coached and played in a manner that we needed to get a job done. Their crap conversion was due in no small part to the game we forced them to play (our terms - good thing), we forced them wide and made them jump through hoops for an easy shot, and the large majority of their misses were from out wide on the 50 - percentage-wise the best we could hope for.
We had a plan, when it failed we reacted quickly and went to another plan, when that worked we very nearly beat a competition leader. Not bad for our young side still learning - we have had a few good, confronting lessons in recent weeks and that's a good thing.

Would be nice to have a win to give the young kids a feeling of achieving something. Fingers crossed St Kilda. I don't think Geelong will be any easier proposition than the Hawks.

I agree and unless we have improved dramatically expect a 50 point loss to the Cats...if we are lucky :(
