Well, well! Taking aside, i am so glad Jordy did that! He has copped that much crap from our supporters that i dont think a better result could possibly had happened! Anyway he will no doubt cop from the pro tankers ad nauseum i guess!

Great Goal
Winning Culture
We dont need picks LOL
:lol
-
Youre right mate. We dont need picks, we need wins! I guess supporting the Tigers has become fashionable for people who are losers and want to continue losing!
-
Im happy for Jordie....not sure if it will do anything for his popularity on here though.
-
Great win today. Totally outclassed a tanking opposition. Winning culture is everything. Lets all sing together and in unison our joy at todays events. Magnificent stuff today. Lets hope our team can keep up the good work ;D
-
And yet if he missed he still would cop it!

I hate to rain on you parade but having just got back from the game can I tell you it was a very disappointing performance from the Tigers. My daughter made me leave at 3/4 time so I can't comment on the last but the first three were one mistake after another after poor decision after another.
It was, for me, one of the most frustrating and depressing games I have sat through. I really thought we had turned the corner but after watching that game I am not sure that we have developed much at all.
Back were all the poor sideways handpassing and selling teram-mates into trouble. Indescribable poor judgement like Lids shortpassing to Morton instead of taking the shot himself from 25 out.
It just showed me how much more we need to address before we can be taken seriously.
The ONLY positive is that we actually won. Maybe that is an improvement. :-\
-
what does a 4 point over demons prove. we need to win games against top 4-8 teams ::)
-
What about 20 mins into the final quarter with us 10 points up on the members stand wing where rather than get tackled and get ridden he handballed straight to a Melbourne player. That shambolic game of skill from both sides will now forever be remembered by someone who kicked a goal after the siren from 50 metres out.
The only monkeys are those who think that we will be competitive against good opposition after staying unbeaten against 3 sides who won't make the 8.

nothing but our club wants a winning culture lol.

You build a winning culture by moulding talented players together that will form the foundation of a winning team not beating inferior opposition and making out you have beaten a team of substance only to fall very short against much stronger opposition.
Wins like this don't enhance our reputation in a positive way they just reinforce the fact that we may be flat track bullies but when time comes to shine against the better teams we are found wanting. The 9th place finishes in the last few years emphasise this. In both 06 and 08 we had 11 wins and only lost once to temas that finished outside the 8 in the Hawks in 06 and the Blues in 08 and we only beat the Crows and Pies who made the 8 in 06 and drew with the Dogs and beat the Hawks who were flirting in 08. That is not winning culture. Fact.

We arent even flat track bullies, we won after the siren, against a team who didnt want to win, a team that had just 1 player available on the bench in the last, and probably 3 or 4 of there best players conveniently playing this week in the twos. We are a rabble.

Ramps....you are taking sarcasim to a whole new level today.
Why dont you write an angry e mail to the RFC ....att Craig Cameron and share your list management views.
Could be good therapy.
-
Media will have a field day about that Ugly game, both teams tanking to lose & trying to force the other team to win ;D OMFG that was the worst football game l have ever seen in my life :banghead Not watching anymore Tigers game till next season :banghead

Just got back from the game.
I watched the Auskick kids at half time kick goals , that Jordon McMahon couldnt do in the first half.
Jordy will still cop it, as he continued to zoneoff his opponents when his teammates are one or one at stoppages :banghead

They need more than me or all of us to sort out the list. Anyway, my thing today is about this supposed winning culture lol ... its like Norths Shinboner spirit. Its all crap.
You cant win flags or even play finals if the list is no good. Its just another cheap win thatll cost a good player at seasons end.
-
funnily enough, had he of missed that goal I reckon he would have been dropped for Bowden, would be a mena bastard to do it now :shh

Actually heard during the week that Jordie told supporters at the Wantirna Club that he'll play much better from now on because all his off-field issues are over. Not sure if the monkey is off the back as he missed two on the run he should have nailed but he kicked the one that mattered today for the team.

Well done Jordie
:thumbsup

:chuck

Don't think the monkey will ever be off his back but most of it is of his own making ;D
He actually showed today why people get so bloody frustrated - 3 shots, misses what should be for him 2 easy ones on the run and then nails it from 50 metres ....

The Auskickers at half time were putting then through ::)

Monkey will never get off his back. Too unnaccountable.
Knowing us success starved Richmond fans if in a few years our first pick is pick 6 and we pick a dud and pick 5 turns out to be the new AFL superstar I am sure some will be delving into some old threads to bring out ghosts of the past and this game in particular along with Pick 19 2007 being traded.

Pleasure and pain rides on McMahon’s boot
Michael Gleeson | August 3, 2009
THIS was a game won at the speed of sound. When the clock reached time, the timekeeper observed as he pressed the siren button that the ball was still floating in the air to Jordan McMahon with Richmond trailing by two points.
When the umpire heard the sound, and the game officially ended, the ball was safely in McMahon’s arms. Which hardly made it safe at all.
McMahon had 14 kicks yesterday. Ten were ineffective or clangers. Twice he ran unopposed to goal and missed from 30 metres out, yet upon this foot rested Richmond’s hopes of salvaging the sweet taste of victory from the sourest of Tiger performances.
Upon his boot rode Melbourne’s pleasure and pain. The torturous dilemma confronting Melbourne fans, and officials, throughout the day was the mixed feeling of victory being worse than defeat.
That by winning they confronted the unpleasant reality that they could not win another game this year and keep a valuable extra first-up draft pick … and they have to play equally conflicted Fremantle yet. Richmond players had appeared to set about their business all day seemingly knowing that with victory being unwise for Melbourne, it was assured for them.
They were lazy, sloppy and lacking adventure and commitment. They played selfishly early and poorly throughout. Yet here they were with time gone and victory attainable.
‘‘No, never, never [done that before],’’ said McMahon the unlikely post-siren match winner. Unlikely not only for his kicking but that a player who polarises fans’ opinions should be the man to provide deliverance.
‘‘It’s something obviously you dream of as a kid, you know in the backyard kicking a goal after the siren to win a game but yeah, I guess it came true.
‘‘Yeah [I heard the siren] just after I marked it. I just thought this is an opportunity to kick a goal and make up for my two mistakes earlier on so I tried to put those aside.
‘‘Obviously it was still there, the idea to win the game, but honestly it was put aside to a degree to win the game and make up for those mistakes earlier on. I think Brad Miller was the only bloke to give me advice and it was not that constructive.’’
This kick was more difficult than those taken earlier as it was further out and with the pressure of the moment, but he reasoned it was simpler because he had time to settle and kick unhurried.
It is a measure of the mentality of different players that some wish for the ball and others to be anywhere but near the ball when that sort of pressure kick is required.
‘‘Yes, yes I wanted the ball, to make up for those two goals I missed earlier. It was a set shot so more time to compose yourself and just relax and take it easy,’’ he said.
McMahon figured it was a goal from the contact to his boot, but fretted until it passed the goals. He was mobbed by teammates as though a flag had been won.

McMahon says he owed the team
richmondfc.com.au
By Jennifer Witham 9:05 AM Mon 03 August, 2009
IN ORDER to keep his emotions in check, Richmond midfielder Jordan McMahon pretended his after-the-siren kick to win Sunday's clash with Melbourne was merely an opportunity to atone for earlier misses.
McMahon, 26, marked the ball within range as the siren sounded across the MCG, with his side trailing by two points.
He said he put the fact the Tigers were down out of his mind, and instead focussed on making up for two sprayed kicks in the second term.
"I just thought this was an opportunity to kick a goal and make up for my two mistakes early on," he said.
"I tried to put it aside, but obviously it was still there - the kick was to win the game.
"I put it aside to a degree and just wanted to kick the goal to make up for the two mistakes before that."
The former Bulldog said he relished the immediate feeling his goal generated, despite finding himself beneath a stack of his thrilled teammates.
"The emotion afterwards felt really good. It was very much a relief, and that's when it really sunk in, that I had kicked the goal," he said.
"Then I realised when all the boys came around, and it was a really good feeling, especially for the other guys as well, who worked hard all day, to give reward to them as well.
"The closer it got to goal, the happier I was," he said, of his thoughts as the ball travelled through the air.
He said he wasn't approached by any of his teammates as he composed himself and prepared to take the shot, and was instead offered some suggestions by an unlikely contributor.
"Brad Miller was about the only bloke to give me advice, and that wasn't that very constructive," he said.
"It was more the other way around."
McMahon said he was thriving under the tutelage of caretaker coach Jade Rawlings, who had given him another opportunity to win over the often-critical Richmond fans.
"I haven't taken a huge amount of notice of the criticism [about me]," he said.
"I'm basically doing what Jade is telling me to do now. We've got a pretty good regime going on now about how he's running the club.
"I think we're all sticking to a good plan now. He's running a good ship."
He said he had never had the opportunity to win a game before, and agreed it was a moment to behold.
"It's something you obviously dream of, as a kid in the backyard, kicking a goal after the siren to win a game," he said.
"I guess it came true."

Monkey off Back?, Not likely with just one goal, unless he consistently lifts his game up about 75% and turns into an AFL footballer he will always be thought of as the guy we gave up for Selwood or I think the other name was Ward
http://www.livenews.com.au/sport/afl/callan-ward-earns-rising-star-nomination/2009/8/4/214987
Western Bulldogs local product Callan Ward has been rewarded for an impressive season with the round 18 nomination for the AFL Rising Star award.
Ward, 19, played his junior footy with Spotswood in the Bulldogs' western suburbs heartland and made his AFL debut last year while completing Year 12 at Williamstown High School.
He was a key figure in the Bulldogs' 31-point victory over Fremantle at Etihad Stadium on Saturday, gathering 22 disposals, five marks and booting two goals.

That would be a NO! :wallywink
-
Worst player on any AFL list, and gets paid $330,000 a season to do it :banghead :banghead :banghead
-
That would be a NO! :wallywink
The monkey may have been off last week, but this guy replaced him at 5:00 yesterday afternoon :rollin

Staggered this guy is getting a game.
Expect him to make way for Bowdens farewell this week.
-
Waste of a footballer.
There's so much I dislike about the way he goes about things.
I laugh when people call him a good outside player, a go to man and a damaging kick. People only think he's a decent kick because he's physically weak and not all that quick between the ears and they need to justify his position on an AFL list.
I would be happy if we paid 25% of his contract next season for someone to take him off our hands.
