Do you really think that any changes that will be made, will help.
What needs to change is the players belief in the team.
If we can change that we can or might be able to win a game.
But keeping it as it is we will not win another game.
What a poor display of football last night.
Only a few, like Jackson that can hold their heads high.
The rest have to sit back and look at how they play.
Or for what they are playing for, no pride in our guernsy is showing through.
No pride in our song either.
We need to get back to the basic's, but this could even be too much for some.
As easy targets still are being missed by some players.
It was a poor performance, and even Melbourne will kick our backsides.
No more will I tip us, as it is a tip that goes begging. :banghead :banghead :banghead

Actually the first half was back to bascis last night, long getting and quick movement,
-
Yer then it got too hard and we went and hid.

Correct.
The first half was good. Direct, long kicking, enjoyable to watch
As soon as the Bombers got a run on, we lost our structure, players went behind the ball, and Raines , Bowden and co started kicking short and sideways, GAME OVER when that started.
Can tell you this, Terrys motto is this, If the game looks in danger, he puts players behind the ball and stops attacking.
Then we cant go forward and therefore revert to short kicking sideways backwards etc.
As was the case last night :banghead

That was my point.
Not every body hates you Jack.
:cuddles

Thank you 1965 :cheers
I need some advice though.
I take my 6yo daughter each week, and she came home crying last night.
She went straight to bed wearing her RFC jumper, she was so upset, dont think I can take her anymore.
-
Jack let your little one know I totally understand her.
I went to bed angry as anything.
I hope she feels better today.
At least we can vent on here and she has nowhere to go.
So give he a big cuuuddle and let her know it will be okay from me.
-
she just got up, jumper still on, she refuses to take it off.
make matters worse, we live in essendon
-
It look like a case of a little one that has more balls than the team that she goes for.
If our team could show some of her makeup in a game we might stand a chance.
But I doubt it.
I will be wearing my tigers stuff today also.
I might rant and rave about them but when push comes to shove I am still a loyal supporter.
Like your little one Jack.

my lad said cant watch this anymore its too painful / his a teen, Hope Saints or Hawthorn draft me
looking at the screen at times thier were many kids crying
Richmond players should be ashamed of themselves
me l had enough also. wont be going to anymore games or bother watching them
l can find out the way thier going by my mobile phone constantly going off with messages Richmond are poo
worst one was cant wait for them to come over here next week, are you coming over or hiding. phone went off
-
Tigermonk I hope your son gets what he is after.
I turned my phone off in the 2nd quarter as I could see last week all over again.
Whipping boy we are now. Other teams will use us to try things out on as we stand no chance of winning.
It is time to rip up all contracts and place them all on a performance pay. No kicks or what ever little to no money.
I think this might spur a few on, as there are some just take money for nothing.

In: Tank
Out: Hope

Very good, your not on your own with that thinking.
Let give two or three of the kids a go who havn't played before just for the hell of it. They mighten even get a kick but they will get a feel of the level they have to reach.
Also why do all other clubs play their first year players and we dont?
Edited to crrect quote
-
Out: Cogs (suspended), Raines and Connors and one more not sure who.
In: Gus, Cuz, Riewoldt and Gourdis
-
Outs:
Cogs (suspended for his own good and ours ;D),
Raines (can't hit a target 15 metres away),
Simmonds (sorry Troy times up),
Connors (why was he there exactly - team sport kid),
Pattison
Ins: Cousins, Graham, Reiwoldt, Vickery, Thomson
-
Outs
Raines summed up perfectly by others. Disposal deficient and can't hit a target.
Simmonds Guy has the aggression off field to milk deadly snakes and the discipline to be a master in martial arts yet somehow plays footy like he is wearing a tutu with his footy jumper. Time is up for this brontosaurus and if last weks events did not prove it then after his game on Saturday he must never play for the RFC again.
Connors. Very very selfish game of AFL footy. Of all his senior games was the worst of the lot.
Pattison Too slow and cumbersome at this level. Is an honest trier but that's about it.
Bowden Too slow and too predictable. Time to euthanase him at this level for good send him to Coburg and give his spot to a kid. To those who will say he has leadership I agree with you to a point........ but there is so little of it out there in the current playing environment that him being out there won't make much difference.
Cogs Whether he gets rubbed out or not that incident in the 2nd quarter with us 22 up where we broke upfield and Cogs marked on the 50 with two players inside 50 on their own only for Cogs to hesitate have his kick smothered and the Bombers go up the other end to reduce the margin back to 16 encapsulates us and our deficiencies as a footy club to a tea. Sorry Cogs but you should have got rid of that ball 20 seconds earlier. That was faaken poo.
In
Cousins (Hometown Return) Oh Geez we are in the news again. What a club we are 1-8 and we are in the news again with lots of hype and fuss.
Riewoldt
Hislop
Thompson
Vickery
Graham
I would also like to see either Rance in also if fit or Thursfield if Alex isn't. Terry needs to make at least 7 changes.

Simmonds

Arghhh Tucker...thanks for reminding me of that gem :'(
Defining moment in the game to be honest - COSTLY
And I forgot about Rance - if he his fit to go then he is an automatic IN - to replace Joel

was she crying during the third quarter.

Cousins to make Subiaco return
richmondfc.com.au
By Mic Cullen 12:09 PM Wed 27 May, 2009
RICHMOND midfielder Ben Cousins is set to return to Subiaco Oval this weekend, less than a fortnight after breaking his hand in Adelaide.
Cousins suffered the injury early in the first term of the Tigers’ heartbreaking last-gasp loss to Port Adelaide in round eight, but still managed to gather 24 touches in a brave and eye-catching performance.
If passed fit, it will be Cousins' first appearance at Subiaco Oval – the ground where he appeared 110 times for West Coast in a decorated career that saw a flag, a Brownlow and four club champion awards – since his sacking from the Eagles in late 2007.
Richmond football manager Ross Monaghan told afl.com.au that Cousins was recovering nicely.
"He did what was required, so he's progressing well," Monaghan said.
"We'll make a final decision on Thursday when we train properly, but all indications are that he should be okay, but a firm decision hasn't been made yet."
In more good news, Alex Rance will play this weekend, just three weeks after his sickening head-on collision – likened by coach Terry Wallace to a "car crash" – with Lion Troy Selwood, which saw him spend the night in hospital with concussion after being operated on to have various plates inserted in his head.
"He's good – he'll play this weekend," Monaghan said.
"I don’t know with which team it will be, yet, but as long as he gets through all the training on Thursday, he'll be fine."
Emerging ruckman Angus Graham missed last weekend with hamstring tightness and the Tigers are less enthusiastic about his chances of getting up for this weekend, while Shane Edwards' speed would be a considerable asset at Subiaco.
Coburg, Richmond's VFL affiliate, had a strong win over the Bendigo Bombers on the weekend, and Monaghan said several players had put their hands up for promotion back in to the AFL.
"Jack Riewoldt has kicked six, two weeks in a row, so he's found some pretty good form,” Monaghan said.
"Shane has been up and down between the Richmond and Coburg sides, but he's another one who will certainly come under consideration."

Cryptic comment from the coach in EOTT this week - something about someone who had a reasonable game last week will miss out because we need to have a running team ......
Sounds like Edwards and/or McMahon in .... and a couple of non-runners out. Cogs?? Connors??
Seems like Petts, Brown and Morton are safe by his words......

I think he is saying Newman out as captain (but still on list) and Nahas as captain :thumbsup Mind you, I think we should give Newman longer to prove himself, I felt last season he and Lidsy were standout on field leaders, lets see what he can do when the place settles a bit!
-
Wallace says in his EOTT report we are going with runners this week....
"On the big Subiaco Oval, you need to ensure that you go in with a running team. So, in selection, we will be picking the side accordingly. Therefore, if somebody misses out, who you perhaps thought had a reasonable game last week, you’ll understand why."
