Rawlings will be a guest on Ch 7's AFL Gameday show tomorrow (Sunday) morning.
Rawlings along with Royal and Cambo were also in the stands last night at the 'G watching the Hawks vs Crows. Jade enjoying his box of chips all to himself lol.

Bump.
Poor Jade :-\.

Nick Maxwell didn't hold back criticising the RFC today on the show. He basically called Richmond (mentally) soft for coming out and being more interested in going for the man and not the ball and starting the argy bargy and behind the play stuff knowing they (the Pies) couldn't defend themselves given they are going to play finals.
Rawlings later on said it was disappointing we didn't show that effort at the footy for four quarters as we did during the scuffle.

Nick Maxwell criticises Richmond's approach
AAP | August 16, 2009 02:15pm
NICK Maxwell has criticised Richmond players for showing more interest in scuffling than winning the hard ball during yesterday's clash.
Tigers Jake King and Tom Hislop were both reported for striking during Collingwood's commanding 22.20 (152) to 8.11 (59) victory at the MCG.
The only real moments of drama in the match occurred off the ball, with Jake King reported for striking Magpies star Alan Didak in the second term.
The incident left Didak crouched over in pain for several seconds and sparked a chaotic melee between large numbers of players from both sides.
Hislop was reported in the final term, for elbowing Collingwood's Shane O'Bree in the back of the head.
Maxwell labelled the Tigers "pretty average" for their approach.
"That's the way they decided to go, but I thought it was pretty average considering we couldn't fight back and considering they weren't prepared, a few of their blokes, to put their head over the ball when it counted," Maxwell said on Seven's AFL Gameday.
He suggested it would be unfair if a lot of the Magpies ended up copping fines for involvement in a melee.
"There were certain instigators that were a part of that and they're the ones that should be fined, not the ones that were trying to break it up," he said.
Richmond caretaker coach Jade Rawlings acknowledged he would have preferred to see the Tigers show the passion they displayed in the second quarter scuffle throughout the match.
"You'd like to think that the intensity at that particular stage of the game would be able to be spread across four quarters," he said.
Incidents involving Didak and Travis Cloke could also be looked at by the match review panel.
Didak laid a high bump on Richmond's Mark Coughlan, when Coughlan was bent over the ball during the second term, the incident occurring soon after the Magpie's clash with King.
Nearing halftime, Richmond defender Luke McGuane appeared to accuse Cloke of biting his hand while the pair were wrestling on the ground.
But when directly asked by the officiating umpire about the allegation McGuane declined to make a complaint.
Cloke denied having bitten McGuane.
"We had a bit of a wrestle, the ball was in the area, he tried to push my face a little bit and the finger slipped into my mouth and that was about it," Cloke told Nine's Sunday Footy Show.
"It wasn't as if I wanted a bit of a nibble on his hand or anything like that, it's not in my nature to go out and bite someone."

GERARD WHATELEY: Richmond surrenders dignity by going the knuckle
August 17th, 2009
THESE football matters are a gruelling test of character as much as skill.
How do you respond in the face of scrutiny? What can you find when the criticism mounts? When adversity is upon you how do you act? With courage, determination and pluck? Or with cowardice?
Richmond showed itself to be the latter on Saturday afternoon. The team manufactured 10 minutes of effort and enthusiasm for departing veteran Joel Bowden. Then rolled over.
Worse. The Tigers surrendered their dignity and went the knuckle. Down by 50 points some in the faithful howled, others cringed. It was embarrassing. It was unbefitting of a league team.
On the evidence before us the next coach has little to work with. At least he will face no resistance in dismantling the remaining facade.
For Jake King and Tom Hislop they will learn there is no honour is punching superior opponents. Or they will not be seen on an AFL field again.
Collingwood showed itself a team of purpose. How they must have wished to punch on with their pitiful antagonists. The Magpies are made of more disciplined stuff. They countered with goals. A great many of them

There must of been a murder on the G on saturday? :gobdrop
Get a life Gerard ::)
-
We don't get Gameday in Sydney. Was Jade on? Did they ask him any good questions? Did he give any good answers?
-
I only heard snippets on the radio. I think Jade said we could have put our head over the ball more.
Richo on Vega this morning hit back saying it was just one of those games where there were spotfires and when you're winning you're better off just keeping your mouth shut. Not sure why Nick bothered.
-
Thanks one-eyed! From watching the game on the box, it looked like we missed our younger mids (Collo, Cotch, Whitey and Foley). I thought Cuz was restricted from early in the game.
I did think that we had a chance to win the melee, but was disappointed with the two Richmond players (I think Joel was one) who didn't jump in and help when Jake was gang tackled
I thought we had too many taggers and not enough creators. Lots of times I thought we could have attacked the Collingwood ball carrier, but our guys just ran off with their man instead.
I was hanging out to read Jade's post-mortem of the Sydney game in EOTT, but was disappointed to read that he didn't want to inflict any more hurt on the members! I was looking for some comment about our mid-field set ups, but, maybe that was asking for too much

Yep Maxwell knows all about cowardice. Oh well he'll learn the hard way that the wheel turns so you shouldn't open your big mouth. In 3-4 years time our cubs and a Watts will be bigger and stronger while Maxwell will be older and slower.

Richo hits back at Maxwell over melee
18:43 AEST Mon Aug 17 2009
Sidelined Richmond star Matthew Richardson has hit back at Collingwood's Nick Maxwell for accusing the Tigers of instigating the melees in Saturday's AFL game at the MCG.
Maxwell, the Magpies captain, took aim at the Tigers on Sunday when he labelled them "pretty average" for their approach.
"That's the way they decided to go, but I thought it was pretty average considering we couldn't fight back and considering they weren't prepared, a few of their blokes, to put their head over the ball when it counted," Maxwell said on the Seven Network.
Richardson, who is sidelined after recent knee surgery, refuted any suggestion Richmond's actions were cowardly and said on Monday there was no need for Maxwell to have made the comments, especially given the Magpies won the game by 93 points.
"I don't know whether Nick needed to be making those sort of comments after the game," Richardson told radio station Vega.
"Gutless? I don't think so. I just think it was one of those games where a few wrestles developed.
"I don't know what was gutless about it.
"I think when you're winning and you're winning well I don't think you need to come out and make comments like that after a game, so I'm not sure why Nick bothered really."
Richardson made his remarks before the AFL match review panel cited 20 players - 10 from either side - for their part in the melees in the second quarter, including Maxwell.
Maxwell said on Sunday it would be unfair if many Magpies copped fines.
"There were certain instigators that were a part of that and they're the ones that should be fined, not the ones that were trying to break it up," he said.
Richmond's Jake King and Tom Hislop were both reported during the game, for striking Collingwood's Alan Didak and Shane O'Bree respectively.

Wasn't Nick Maxwell the player who actually ran past the ball to hip and shoulder a teenage Eagles player and bust his jaw?
Hmmm, he has an interesting take on courage or a double standard.......
When was the last time Richmond had a player reported let alone suspended? Not sure our track record is one of sniping.
-
Our trainer Smithy the fireman told a few Pie players in the melee to go forth and multiply ;D
-
Well said Richo :clapping
-
Listening to this idiot on TV on Sunday made me realise he has a real problem with his memory.
He bagged our blokes for sniping etc.
Now Nick, do you remember the NAB cup game where you ran past the ball and broke a young eagles player jaw? :shh :shh ::) ::) ::)
Nick Maxwell =Ordinary Bloke.
-
Yep Jack
Nick Maxwell = ordinary bloke >:(
Collingwood = Most Hypocritical AFL Club. :rollin
Hope the comments made on Sunday come to bite him on the kolo come September or next time we play them. :thumbsup

Maxwell's a stuffin woman, he was whinging like a little girl "oh we couldn't fight back, it wasn't fair" Maxwell you wouldn't have been able to fight back anyway your a stuffing women.
-
Maxwell's a effin woman, he was whinging like a little girl "oh we couldn't fight back, it wasn't fair" Maxwell you wouldn't have been able to fight back anyway your a effing women.
He did attempt what would be loosely called a fight with Hislop while Hislop was on the deck, but Hislop managed to stand up, and then promptly threw Maxwell to the ground and held him down well until it seemed Maxwell surrended. ;D The big tough man lauded by the media got absolutely pantsed by Tommy.

Yes I saw that. Maxwell only likes to hit young rookies when there not looking. He couldn't handle Hislop because he actually was going to have to confront someone. Well done Thomo.
-
l thought Maxwells rant was weak
Donr he remember how many times his been cited & reported for hits on players not looking
Weak as pee Maxwell :lol
-
The comments were fairly accurate, but very hypocritical coming from a weak sniper like Maxwell who has made a career out of whacking blokes when they're not looking.
-
wont get too many arguments on that score :-\
-
Check out 1.11 in this video. Maxwell elbow to Murphy's head instead of tackling. What courage Nick ::)

Ah, maxwell!! What a coward. showing your true colours, collingwood colours, gutless!!
-
What was your excuse for not fighting back tonight Nick.... hmmm 73 points wasn't it. Come back and give us a lecture on footy when your pathetic overbloated self-obsessed overrated football club actual wins something :wallywink.
Btw Happy 50th Anniversary of nothingness 1959-2009 :lol

Kane Johnson > Nick Maxwell

Just full of inspiration and courage Nicky boy is.
If I was not just an AFL player but the captain of "The Greatest Club In the Land" and I got run down from behind by Tom Hawkins who kicks a goal from the resulting free I would be retiring as of tonight and I would be taking up quoits.
All Australian Stuff right there. :lol
As for their other all Australian. Downhill skier, flat track bully whatever. Oh yes against a RFC side that was not trying I can shake the finger when I kick a goal but have I ever played a final where I have got 15 possessions. I know I have played two grand finals for an average of 3 posessions. If he is a star then Tambling is Polly Farmer, Michael Long and Maurice Rioli rolled into one. Gotta love the Pies (not), also manage to cheer me up in September. :ROTFL
And what about Eddie sulking and unresponsive to the fans tonight. No hugging his kids or high fiving the fans. :nopity
-
Collingwood just haven't been the same side since those comments.
Is it a coincidence or is it just that we are in September? Is it a combination of both?
Is it justice being served by the Football Gods or just the fact that Collingwood are poo?
:ROTFL :jump :stupid :nopity :thatsgold :chuck :lol :rollin :wallywink ;D :D ;) :) :-X

Ah, maxwell!! What a coward. showing your true colours, collingwood colours, gutless!!
I to seen the Thomo incedent and love how he backs away once push comes to shove.
And I wondered just who he was when he got picked for their captain to.
Now I know gutless no name player.

Best part is Collingwood is stranded, they cant win a flag with there current list, they have poor picks this year and GC coming in. Atleast another decade of waiting for Collingwood IMHO.

"We were frustrated at that stage ... that a lot of our guys were put in situations where they could have been suspended before finals," Maxwell said.
"Obviously now it's a lot earlier in the season ...
