Today's would be hard to top :help :banghead.
I was waiting for the Benny Hill theme to be played over the PA. I know the breeze was strong but if you didn't laugh at the sheer football comedy on display from both sides you would've done your head in.
-
we were laughing ;D 2 teams tanking & not wanting to give in to the other. McMahon being McMahon got confused & blew it ;D
-
Last weeks derby in the West was awful....
listening to it on the Radio (6pr) it was quite comical when one of the comentators stormed out of the box in disgust.
Today....Well many people are going to say Bucks made the right decision.
-
Buckley had no intentions ever coming to Richmond so his not missing anything. ;D

Actually your too kind, both sides were trying to win. I know it's hard to confront but that actually was the case.
-
ummm, I stuff I'd draw on an archive full of Losses before I'd go down that track partner ::)
-
I agree that the game was crap, with 1 minute to go i was completely devvo and we should not have won! But we did and we are learning different ways of winning instead of throwing in the towell! the young guys have had another game that will add heaps to their learning!Blingers is improving too after being caned endlessly by some and Jordy pinged one after the siren to shake a few demons off! We can a lot away from that win whereas a loss would just reinforce that we have losers for 27 years!

Actually both teams were trying to win.
I would of thought is was one of the poorest efforts from a Richmond team for a long long time

Compared to last week, they were BAD, real BAD

Until the AFL change the rules we will never know when we are tanking and when we are really that bad! It is so frustrating yelling for a team when they may not be out there trying their best to win! :banghead

ok well apart from st.kilda this year most sides formline does tend to oscillate from one week to another...in any case I thought the thread was about WORST game ever and your extrteme remark it was worst we had played in quite a while...both melodramatic in the extreme...perhaps more fitting if describing Geelong :shh

Stop making sense, Bojangles! It has no place on this thread!

Yep today was bad but I have a few others.
Our draw against the Lions in 2007
How about the Geelong game at the Dome in 2007
Many games under Spud in 2003-04.
Anyone here remember the Swear Meter oops I meant Roar Meter at the G? :lol
-
How about the Geelong game at the Dome in 2007
Got it in one :thumbsup

ok, so we're ALL agreed then, this would be the worst thread ever... ::)

Taking into consideration the opposition, this is by far the worst game i have seen for as long as i can remember! Jade did himself no favours today.
-
no. this wasn't the worst match of AFL. this was only Richmond's worst win of the season.
how the f*** can they play like that today?
we should of won by seven goals or more.
Jade isn't going to coach us beyond this year, after that match, unless we were 'tanking'.
please tell me, we were 'tanking'?
-
Great teams win ugly all the time ....This is a fact of life.
What if Geelong and St kilda were judged only by their efforts against WCE in recent weeks.
Ugly win...better than Ugly Loss.
This is where we are as a young club.We are going to take a couple of steps forward then take a step back....
I thought todays game resembled a steaming pile of dog poo...still glad we won so we didn't suffer the humiliation of losing to Melbourne twice in one season.
I predict a much better effort against the Swans.

ok, so we're ALL agreed then, this would be the worst thread ever... ::)
Why? It's a fair question after what was on display yesterday. Nearly everyone around me in the Richmond members were saying the same thing. People were laughing it was that bad! And I didn't just mean worst RFC performance where we played crap while the opposition played well and we got flogged as a result. Yesterday was one of the worst poorly skilled games of footy from both sides I've seen. If we had played like that against St Kilda or Geelong we would've lost by 100+ points :help. Thankfully Melbourne were just as embarrassingly woeful. The 2nd and 3rd quarters of the Carlton-Collingwood game two weeks ago would be up there in the shocker skill states too but yesterday simply wasn't AFL standard for virtually the whole 4 quarters from both sides. The only redeming feature was the scores were close throughout and the finish was exciting and we won. Probably the only games I can think of that were worse than yesterday were that Saints-Hawks night game a few years ago that made the news it was so bad and the Saints-Swans draw in the early 2000s where they each kicked 4 goals.
It was just so disappointing to take a big step back to old bad habits after last week's good and promising win.

FFS :banghead :banghead
listen to you all, worst game ever bla bla bla
the only way to get better is to have a winning culture, geelong and the saints unnder bomber and lyon, became good teams after learning to win ugly ffs
look all you peoples who reckon the game was poo, what a crock, he showed character, he played pretty tough, conditions were crap but at least we were physical and kept at it and didnt fold
and to see the reaction of teh boys after jordy kicked the winning goal was a sight for sore eyes, have you ever seen such excitement from the team, the whole team even cuz had a bona!!
stuff me dead, melb are not as bad as many think, they should have beaten sydney last week
this game cintrary to many ppls beliefs was better and a moire important win than last week.
bloody hell some ppl are hard to please

Round 12 1995
Richmond 5.5 8.9 11.13 15.19 109
Fitzroy 3.3 9.7 15.11 15.13 103
Even Richmond teams on TOP of the ladder can have "lucky" "uninspiring" wins over weak opposition.IIRC we won the above game in the dying seconds on the back of some questionable umpiring decisions in our favour.
Sounds strange....but yesterdays win is not the end of the world.
For the record poor old Fitzroy only won two games in 95...and did not win a match after rd 8.

well i still stand by the fact you mustnt have followed RFC for too long if you rated that game worst ever...notwithstanding some of this years pathetic performances I could go on all day about insipid efforts that i would prefer to forget...We went down to the wire when we 'rent even playing that well...in recent times we would have folded and LOST...if that effort can be described as WORST then you need to take a good look...I feel you should rephrase the thread title to something like Boy it wasn't pretty but we got the job done...ok :whistle
-
Whether it was the worst ever or not, that can be debated til the cows come home, but IMO it is definitely up there with the worst. Absolute pile of poo and painful as to watch.
It was good to see the standard of umpiring matched the game on display as well. ::)

1999 Rnd 11 Tigers 3-12-20 Power 4-8-32
The only thing you could say about that game was that it was close and in the players defence the conditions were shocking but it wasn't pretty to watch,
-
some of the worst games l have seen would have to be Jason Dunstall kicking 17 goals twice flogging us alone with his goal kicking & Gary Ablett Snr doing the same everytime he played against us. we needed a player like Jake King back in them days

You could say something else - the scores didn't add up. ???

Actually my mind does go back.
I would say "'strategic wise "" it was the worse. Not scoreboard wise .
Players ''wrong sided"' at stoppages etc
Players giving off when only 20 metres out from goal with a set shot.
Switching in D 50 when players were clearly covered.
Kicking to contests when kicking in. etc etc

Of course if Bowden was at full back that day on Dunstall, JD would have been lucky to have kicked one goal. :lol :rollin :lol

That Port game was played in torrential rain at night at Footy Park so that explains the low scoring. We kicked 1 goal to 3/4 time it was that difficult and slippery to score but we almost pinched it in the last. IIRC the Birdman had a final ping in the last couple of minutes but just missed and Port won by 2 points.

You're missing my point. In terms of the standard on display by BOTH sides it would be up there as the worst game I've seen live. Even KB on SEN replayed after the game a 3 minute period of commentary to the tune of Benny Hill it was that bad. Yes Richmond have put in pathetic efforts many times before in the past 27 years and we've all had to painfully sit through them :help but at least you can say the opposition was superior and played good footy. Sunday was sheer comedy. Just when you thought the standard couldn't get any worse, it did lol. Thankfully we just won to save total embarrassment for the club. Weren't even playing that well is a bit of an understatement ;) :yep
