RFCO just tweeted there'll be a training session at 3pm on Friday and a few promotional activities for those Tiger supporters in Darwin to get to. Game on Saturday night.
The Tiges are overwhelming favourites with the bookies btw:
Richmond $1.24
Port Adelaide $4.60

Even though Port are playing with all the class and conviction of a rubbery old turd, I'm a little worried about this game. :-[
For some reason I can just see us having a stinker and some jerk like Motlop kicking eight.
Years of mediocrity have made me a nervous wreck.

Me too, call it mental scarring, but whenever we're favourite, we seem to cough the game up.

feel the same way.
In some aspects this will be our biggest test of the year, mentally anyway.

years of crank have done the same to me
that's why i'll be huffing with nathan ablett on saturday night, gets me up
-
In all honesty we should pump the living crap out of them. I was more worried against the Dogs and the Bombers, we play well against Port.

In the bag, in the bag, honestly if we don't beat this Port side we are about as bad as them, we shouldn't have dropped the Dogs game but we did. No excuses here, big percentage boosing opportunity here!!!!! :thumbsup

I keep saying it I want what you are smoking WAT
In the bag? Like others; I am very nervous about this game. I also hope that selling a home game intersate doesn't come back to bite on the rear end ;D

I'll be rather annoyed if bloody Westhoff decides to have one of his good games :banghead I hate that weirdo. We should get a win.
Big Browney might struggle in the heat but hopefully he does well. He's better than Gus (would rather play 1 short than have Gus running around again :lol )

I will post you some WP.. ;)
Really, wouldn't you think that out of all the games we have played this year, this one is the one we should all be the most confident about??? Every one was more confident going into the Carlton, Hawks, Bulldogs games that we lost and I would have thought they were the hardest ones to call.

Just like we were against Brisbane and we really struggled that night until the last qtr

I was nervous about this one too then I heard Dimma talk about how he was ensuring the players discussed our poor record against Port and the danger they present and now I feel much more assured we will win this game comfortably :thumbsup :shh
-
Nervous again.
Don't care about the margin.
4 points will do me in the win column.
-
Agree margin is not relevant
Win a game we are supposed to, stick to our game plan & structures and no monsoon weather and I will be happy ;D

Safe as on that one WP. The Dry's been around for a good month or more now, no monsoons until October.

Good on you GG, we will romp it by about 80+ I reckon... ;D

I am nervous about this one as well. Agree there is a potential for someone like Motlop to have their one good game for the year. This is a real chance for the team to show that it is not burdened by the shackles of the past.
-
It's a myth port is running a super-young side mid rebuild.
Average age of 24 last game. Chances are they will field a significantly More mature ton Richmond.

We'll KILL EM

Marrara is 175 x 135 Stripes, making it longer and narrower than the MCG, same length as Subiaco but a bit wider. Here's a link for all ground dimensions:

Richmond turns up for Darwin match
Bruce Matthews
Herald Sun May 25, 2011
TRAINING sessions in a heat chamber are helping prepare Richmond players for the heat and humidity they will experience in Darwin on Saturday night.
The Tigers began exercising in the chamber last week at the $20 million ME Bank centre at Punt Road Oval to acclimatise to face Port Adelaide in the Top End.
They have had supervised aerobic workouts on treadmills, stationary bikes and rowing machines in the specially designed chamber to ready themselves for Northern Territory temperatures as high as 30C.
"We think that will provide some benefit," Tigers football manager Ross Monaghan said.
"They can work on rowers and bikes, treadmills and things like that in humid conditions to simulate a warmer climate.
"We think our players are in pretty good condition and should be able to cope pretty well."
The club moved into the modern training and administration building at the start of the season.
The important match-conditioning for the Darwin match would have been impossible in the old changerooms.
"We can accommodate the best part of a team in there (the heat chamber) at once for a period of time on a regular basis," Monaghan said.
Each competing club has a coolroom at the stadium in Darwin for pre-game preparations. And there are electric fans beside the interchange benches and ice-vests available during the quarter-time and three-quarter time breaks.
Richmond flies to Darwin on Friday morning and the team will have a light run at TIO Stadium soon after their arrival.
Port will head north tomorrow for a training session early at night to prepare for what will be the Power's fifth game there in the past three seasons.
AFL clubs take an extra player interstate in case of an emergency and the Tigers may consider adding one more to the travelling party.
Richmond's backline, already missing Kelvin Moore (hip) and Will Thursfield (leg), must replace Dylan Grimes, who tore his right hamstring against Essendon last Saturday night.
Experienced forward Brad Miller has recovered from a virus to be available for the match. The match committee met yesterday.

Me too, plus factor in our record against them is not currently good
We've won 2 of the last 4 against them, both away
3 of the last 5 if you include the preseason
should have been 4 of the last 5 if the umps had paid taylor's goal in cuzzy's last game
Biggest bag by a player at TIO is 5, last person to do that was Miller
or Vickery if you count preseason
no excuses if we don't win this and win well

Thanks Smokey. Means we should be able to use our better endurance/run and carry against them. We have played our best footy this year at the MCG where the space has become a factor. Long kicks will be the flavour of the day.
Thanks again :thumbsup

The AFL site is tipping us to win by over 5 goals...
SUMMARY
The fortunes of these two teams, to this point of the season, could hardly be more different. The Tigers are on the rise, their improvement illustrated by their gutsy win over Essendon in the Dreamtime at the 'G match in round nine. More than 83,000 people turned out for that game, which shows the Tiger army believes its line-up is heading in the right direction.
Port Adelaide, meanwhile, is languishing on the bottom of the ladder and is planning a "tin rattle" to try and eradicate its debt. Last weekend it suffered an embarrassing loss to Fremantle at AAMI Stadium. Only 16,274 fans attended the match.
The x-factor in this clash is the fact it is being played in Darwin. This is because the Tigers have a three-year, $1 million deal with the NT Government to play one home game at TIO Stadium each season. Although the weather is dry up north now, the Darwin heat will be a challenge for both sides.
QUESTION MARKS
Can Richmond's undermanned backline continue to hold up? The Tigers' defenders were superb against Essendon, with Alex Rance leading the way. But another backman who impressed against the Bombers, Dylan Grimes, has been ruled out for 12 weeks with a hamstring injury.
Can Port Adelaide find something to play for? Now that Port is out of contention for a finals berth, the danger is they will keep getting thrashed week after week. To prevent that, Primus must impress on his charges that if they don't perform their careers could soon be over.
PREDICTION
Richmond by 33 points

Extremely detailed and accurate.
Absolutely amazing analysis from an opposition supporter. Really should be getting paid for the quality of write-ups such as those particularly as he appears to create a similar standard of reviews each week for each opposition they play.
Makes you feel we really should be quitely confident about the weekend's chances :thumbsup
-
For those in or heading up to Darwin there will be an open training session at 3.15pm Friday at TIO Stadium.
Hint hint a report would be nice ;)

Port have lost their last 4 games at TIO Stadium. They're heading up there on Thursday.
The Power, who have played one more game than most other teams, have conceded the most points in the competition this season.
Richmond, who has also yet to have a bye, ranks third in the league in points scored and Brogan said his team's defensive skills would be put to the test this week.
"Richmond is playing some fantastic footy and it's a massive challenge for us to shut that [scoring] down," he said.
"Our defence hasn't been great...and we're well aware of that, but we'll come with that defensive mindset on Saturday and if we play for four quarters, we're a good chance to get a win."
http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/114746/default.aspx
Sounds like Port are going to try and make it a grind :yawn. Hopefully we can start well and get an early lead so they are forced to play a more open game.
-
We need to win by 89pts so that our percentage in competitive (i.e 100.0%).
Not that I'd be unhappy with a solid effort and the win, but I really want to thump them.

Looking forward to this contest. Port are down and out and we are full of confidence plus heavy favourites - exactly the sort of game we have tradtionally dropped in recent years. How we perform in the heat and ground size of Darwin will give us all a better picture of how much we have progressed.
The biggests difference for mine this year is the players understanding of their roles in the team and the game plan for the side. Makes such a huge difference for individual confidence when you know what to do at any given stage. The next largest factor imho is the additional development the club has injected into the young players to lift each players performance. Lastly the third factor would be the depth we now seem to have in the center much of which I credit the recruitment of Houli and Grigg for but also the inclusion of Foley, fitness of Cotchin and natural development of Dusty.
Post seem to want to make the game a tight knit affair with plenty of tackling, stoppages and accountable footy. I don't think we will mind this as we tend to run teams off their legs in the latter portions of games once they are tied from trying to execute the zone and this type of taxing strategy against us. Once again, it all comes down to the midfield battle. I just hope we can finally win some contested possession for once this year.
-
If we come out hard and smash them in contests early I think they'll lose confidence really quickly.
We can't let Motlop, Gray or Ebert get off the leash and kick a bag.

Deledio looking forward to Darwin trip
Grey Morris
NT News
May 26th, 2011
AFL club Richmond is back in the Top End for the first time in 12 years and Tiger utility Brett Deledio could not be happier.
Richmond's round 10 clash with Port Adelaide at TIO Stadium on Saturday night comes on the back of an upset 16-point win over Essendon in the Dreamtime Game at the MCG.
Deledio, the No. 1 pick in the 2004 national draft, knows a win and the four premiership points that come with it will help his Tigers to pounce into the top eight.
"Absolutely, it's what we're after," Richmond's two-time best and fairest said. "But no team in the AFL are easybeats, so we're going to have our work cut out for us.
"We're confident with our structures and whatever else, which makes for a good game in the heat up there, which will be a little bit different.
Deledio is yet to kick a football in anger anywhere in the NT after missing Richmond's pre-season game against the Power in Alice Springs earlier this year.
"It will be a new experience for a lot of us and we're looking forward to it, knowing Port is just as keen to win" he added.
"They'll be out to prove a point after playing up there a few times, particularly when they played a pretty good brand of footy against us in round 22 last year."
Deledio has promised a strong and hungry Tiger outfit, complete with big names Jack Riewoldt, skipper Chris Newman, speedster Robin Nahas and rising stars Dustin Martin and Reece Conca.
"Everyone will be playing, you can't afford to rest blokes in any game," Deledio said.
"So everyone who is fit will be playing, which means only Dylan Grimes will miss with a hamstring."
Richmond will be regular visitors to the Top End for premiership matches in the the next few years, continuing a three-way "home" team rotation with Melbourne and the Bulldogs.

It's a magnificent day up here today. Sunny, cool breeze, no heat in the day at all, and last night was quite cool (slept under a doona). I don't think it will be anywhere near as hot and draining as the players appear to be getting themselves primed for, especially as its a night game.
-
Cheers smokey. Every time i read about the heat i kept thinking that, but thought perhaps it was just relative.
By the starting time for the game the temp will be down to 20-25% and you can feel a definite chill in the air. (must be all those long Melboune winters, but i still sleep better under a doona.
From experience, once the sun gets low on the horizon playing footy is a lot more comfortable. You can feel the difference as it happens.

fox?

Concerned about Gray and Brogan. At least Chad Cornes is not playing

If you mean TV coverage
Then yep it's one Foxtel

Reckon we needed to play another tall. Wouldn't surprise me if Dan Stewart is a late inclusion, would stretch our backline.

Preview: Richmond v Port Adelaide
25/05/2011 11:06 PM
Gregor Mactaggart
Sportal
Darwin's weather is perfect from a lifestyle perspective at this time of the year – expect conditions to be around 24C when the ball is bounced. The Tigers will arrive in the NT capital at Friday lunchtime, not a whole lot of time to acclimatise, whereas regular visitors Port headed up on Thursday.
Having made huge strides so far this season, Richmond can't really afford to drop this one against a Power side certainly lacking confidence generated by five successive losses.
Does history play a factor? Port Adelaide has won 13 of the 19 lifetime clashes between these two clubs, including four of the past six.
Richmond will do enough to get the cash, but only after a fright from the Schulz-inspired Port Adelaide line-up .
Richmond by 21 points.

Tigers wary of Port threat in Darwin
Larine Statham and Sam Lienert
May 27, 2011 - 6:34PM
AAP
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick says Saturday night's AFL opponents Port Adelaide have the potential to be a much greater threat than recent form suggests.
The Tigers, coming off four wins in five games, including last Saturday night's hard-fought victory over Essendon, will be in unfamiliar territory on two fronts for the Darwin clash.
One of those is the venue.
The match is nominally Richmond's home game, but the Power are regular visitors to TIO Stadium, while the Tigers have never before played a home and away game there.
The other is Richmond's short-priced favouritism.
That is a very rare experience for a youthful side that notched just six wins in Hardwick's first season in charge last year and has finished 15th for the past two years.
And it is a status the coach is paying scant regard to, despite the Power's season being seemingly in free-fall on the back of five straight losses.
"They've got some young talent, which is always a danger and we're a young developing side also," Hardwick told reporters on Friday.
"So I think you're going to see two sides over the course of the next two to three years that are going to be pretty formidable come the future.
"So we've come up here prepared to play and looking for another win."
After Richmond were buoyed by a home crowd of more than 80,000 against the Bombers last weekend, a partisan Tigers crowd would likely have helped their cause if Saturday night's game was in Melbourne.
Richmond's unfamiliarity with the Darwin venue was not helped when a scheduled pre-season clash against the Indigenous All-Stars at the ground had to be scrapped because of bad weather.
But Hardwick said he did not expect Richmond's decision to host the game in the Northern Territory to work against them.
"Not really. There's no doubt we'd love to have 50,000 supporters here," he said.
"But, look, I'm sure we'll get a great crowd up here tomorrow night. There's a massive Tiger contingent up here. I think it's going to be a terrific atmosphere.
"I've played here once before and it's been a real carnival-type atmosphere."
Richmond will be without young defender Dylan Grimes, who is expected to miss several months with a major hamstring injury.
Matt White was recalled, while key forward Brad Miller returns from illness at the expense of Jayden Post.
The Power made one change, dropping Steven Salopek in favour of Cameron Hitchcock.

WP.. ;)
Really, wouldn't you think that out of all the games we have played this year, this one is the one we should all be the most confident about??? Every one was more confident going into the Carlton, Hawks, Bulldogs games that we lost and I would have thought they were the hardest ones to call.
That's why I am nervous WAT we are expected to win
Just like we were against Brisbane and we really struggled that night until the last qtr
just like we struggled against an injury riddled nm and only got over them in the last few minutes. same for freo half their players on the injury list and we only get over them in the last when they fall in a heap.
we fall in against an injury depleted essendon in the last few minutes.
while most are over the moon so far this yr i reckon circumstances have smiled on us so far. we are not that good a side that any team we play is a given.

Gee Im tired. :gotigers

are you calling me guy, guy? I won't accept that. Do you understand, guy? Or maybe you want another PM? Yeah, I thought so, guy.
Back to the tiges

From today's NT News...
Tiger midfielder Trent Cotchin said exciting times were ahead for the ninth-placed Tigers.
A win over last-placed Port Adelaide tonight will see them pounce into the top eight, something the 51-game Tiger wants to happen.
"The signs are promising, but we've just got to continue focusing on what we need to do each week and make sure it happens in Darwin," Cotchin said.
"The recruiting guys have done a fantastic job by getting a good mix of guys with terrific character to the club.
"Then there are the more experienced guys who have been around for five or six years that are starting to play some really good footy."
Cotchin said there was no complacency among the players with the four premiership points up for grabs tonight.
"Port had a really good second half against Fremantle last week, so they'll be coming out firing. We're looking forward to the challenge, we always have a good hitout with them."

I can only see us winning well if we break Port open in the first half. Both sides have matched up well on each other in recent years (like us with Essendon) so I hope we have a strong mindset and take this game as seriously as we did last week. Young sides are notorious for being up and down so this is no gimme especially as we sold away our home advantage.

TO quote michael braun ex premiership player talking about wce playing coll.while the playing away part is not so relevant to us.
Playing well, performing well and beating the good sides is the real gauge and we should take heed
quote
The true test is playing against the top sides, the premiership side from last yr, just in terms of finding out where they are at,how much improvement they have really got.
That is the real test for them.
Can you play good footy away from home and beat sides?
Then can you can you play good footy away from home and beat the better sides?
"That is where you want to play the best sides and do well,away from home because it is a big gauge.
we beat port last yr a bottom side we should beat the port of this yr a bottom side what gauge do we take away from this game if we win. how do we gauge improvement based on the result alone.
does winning even equate to improvement depending on how we go about it.
in all honesty if we have improved as much as people are suggesting we should win this game by 10 goals or more.
one could argue against the better sides when all things are equal injury form etc we have not done very well at all against the better sides.
-
didnt we play port at this ground during the nab challenge
if so why are all journos saying we are in unfamiliar territory when iirc , during the nab game there
many locals and fans were on our side
so most players will be familiar with the ground and also tyrone bagged 5 that night
We played Port in Alice Springs.
thats right cheers
now i remember game was shifted due to the cyclone

I'm babysitting at a house with no Foxtel tonight :'(

we should win this by ten goals, on form. But to me the real test will be to see how we back up after a big win in a big game, one week out from a break, in a game we are expected to win.
This is unfamiliar territory for a lot of these kids and everthing at the momemnt is a learning process.
they may very come out flat. port get the jump in the first and they just cannot play catchup footy, is a possibility.
tonight is a real test of the sides mental strength, something we have lacked for years but are starting to show now.
off to catch the last half of the thunder game then bring it on.
:gotigers
stuff id love for us to hump them. havn't been on the right end of many thrashings in recent years:pray
-
well said al, my sentiments exactly
-
we should win this by ten goals, on form.
Not just on form.
On paper I reckon the Port side is about as bad as an AFL team has been in a decade.

We are handballing too much (44 hballs and 45 kicks) and giving away too many frees 3 - 10. We are also being out-tackled 18 - 25.
We're down to 3 light towers. If another goes the game stops for an hour. That's no joke :help.

If we go down to 2 light towers during the 2nd half the team in front wins the game

Not sure why Postie was dropped to be honest unless the coaching staff see Miller as part of our best 22 :P.

Positive is we are in front despite a pretty ordinary half from most. And Foley.

I'd doubt we'll still be No.1 in kicking efficiency after that first half :P. We're not as switched on as we have been. Foley and Houli have been our best so far. Jacko probably next. Whitey hasn't been too bad - a least he adds pace. It's the kick inside 50 that needs to be cleaner and smarter.

The challenge is set.
30 minutes to find out if we are a genuine finals challenger or just a top half or the bottom 8 side.
TBR is nearly ready to draw a line through Farmer by the way.
-
It's a game like this we need to win. I am not happy with the effort but we need to still win.
It's games like this that give us the tag of being mentally fragile and to add insult to injury if in fact we do lose we could have been 7th and Port will probably get flogged next week as internally they have been building for this game for weeks.
I want the game to end so I won't have to hear Tony Shaw.

This game will show us whether we are a bottom 8 side or a legitimate finals challenger.
Boys here is your challenge win it from here.

Port have had a great run from the umps.
If we are fair dinkum we'll win this.
If not our expectations settle down back to where they probably should be and thats a 9-12 finish.

A chance to get in the 8 and stay there and we dish this up. This is why we IMO can't finish 9th, we need the best players we can get because we just are not there and we don't have the crop to get us there.
-
As I said before the supporters and the players have been sold up the river. If this game was at the MCG wed win by 10 goals.
-
The worst bit is that if we manage to scramble out a win here, the focus will be on the comeback and not the putrid display in the first 3 quarters (which will just become a "by the way" type thing rather than the major focus of the game like it should be), but losing to Port and having 2 weeks to stew over it because of the bye is a hell of a lot worse. Come on Tigers, LIFT!

I reckon it is harsh on the admin to blame them for the game being played in Darwin.
Obviously our finances haven't been great and they are trying to get them back into a state to allow us to be sustainable as a strong club with resources to compete with the Collingwoods etc....
Fact is we should beat Port if the game was played anywhere, anytime.

Can't blame the travel to Darwin. What is obvious is one team rocked up and was hungry for the win while the other hasn't.
-
same old richmond - capitulate under the pressure when the opportunity presents itself - now chase tail for the rest of the season trying to make the 8 when you throw away an easy win against one of the worst undermanned sides going around
-
If this game gets it into everyones head that drafting Miller was a mistake and he should not be in our side then at least the result won't be totally in vein.
Bingo! We would be better off with a youngster learning and getting games under his belt than wasting our time playing a 27 y.o. recycled dud from Melbourne.

Rance :banghead
Mate, told you all here how bad he is, most supporters love him though :banghead :banghead

Selection has been bad for a few weeks now.
Where the eff is Webberley? Why was Post dropped for Miller? Pathetic.
-
Would you rather play the Dome with 40000 feral tigers or go to Darwin and get 500K and lose to a side who are infighting like we have been for decades. Galling loss.
Sell outs I'm very disappointed with the footy club as a whole not just the team tonight.
Can see this game derailing us for the year with interstate trips to Sydney and Brisbane to come.
This is just classic Richmond. Win a game to get us in the 8 and we just have a terrible night skill wise and just a terrible night all round for the RFC and lose to a team that has been devoid of confidence.
We've played blokes like Gray and Westhoff into form. I am fuming right now.
-
Games like this expose our poor ballusers who aren't natural footballers.
Jack kicks his 3rd. All too late.
68 - 89

Miller cost us 3 goals in the first half and every time he went near it he got in someones way or gave it up to a POrt player. Was terrible tonight. In hindsight Post or Astbury should have played.

Comeback too late. Kingy goal.

agree!!! wtf is farmer/Helbig doing there?? In amongst the skata tonight those 2 iles really stood out - and isnt it funny that our forward structure was shot to bits without the extra tall - we could have used Post as the extra chop out in the ruck tonight - Browne got smashed
-
Port Adelaide was a sess pool. How embarressing.
Would have smashed this pathetic excuse by 10 goals in Melbourne.
I wonder if Port will sell there games over the next 5 years of making operating loses

all over :banghead
Richmond 1.2 4.9 7.10 10.14-74
Port Adel. 1.4 3.6 9.9 13.11-89
Goals: Riewoldt 3, King 2, Martin, Vickery, Jackson, Nahas, Grigg

havent been this stuffing peeed after a loss for years

stuffen wrecked my weekend this has. Its gone to poo for no reason at all.
-

They agreed to play 2 games per year away in Darwin for cash rather than their home games.
-
Dean Brogan best on ground.
stuff me if an opposition ruckman gets another best on ground against us I'm going to stuffing spew up
-
Played like poo no doubt but i saw at least 5 free kicks we didn't get and Port got pretty much everything on offer. Also not really an excuse but did anyone notice the number of Port players wearing gloves? Our handling was atrocious but it was wet due to the dew and Port just seemed to be surer with the ball. One other pet hate in these sorts of conditions is that the commentators kept saying how the ball will tend to slide to the back of a marking pack yet we didnt seem to have anyone there for that whereas Port seemed to have players in the right positions.
Very very disappointing loss but its also a learning experience for a young side. no doubt flat after last weeks almost finals football atmosphere. The time we know the tigers have turned the corner is when they can win the big games but then back up the week after and win ugly if they have to. Unfortunately they failed miserably tonight.
-
Dean Brogan best on ground.
eff me if an opposition ruckman gets another best on ground against us I'm going to effing spew up
Brogan I can accept bc lets face it we dont have any ruckmen
but what really gives me the shizens is the fact that players like westhoff/pearce and another few that escape me right now typically play their one good game in 15 against us FFS
-
Also not really an excuse but did anyone notice the number of Port players wearing gloves? Our handling was atrocious but it was wet due to the dew and Port just seemed to be surer with the ball.
Notcied this too Lozza. Great great point.
Port have played in Darwin 7 times now, Richmond debut tonight.
What a great idea sell our home game to Darwin against a team that's played there 6 times to our 0. Port have the experience of conditions. Stupid decision by the club.

Me too. How embarrassing, you'd think being a tiger supporter i'd be used to losing the unloseable, but this one really peed me off. Westhoff looked like Carey out there, Brogan looked like Sandilands, Pearce like McLeod.
-
If we lose Richmonds administration should formally apologise to the players and in particular to the supporters. I dont blame the players I blame our administration.
Didn't we win every game interstate last year? Must have been close if not.
We need to learn to win everywhere, not just at the G, we just looked flat tonight and Port decided to play for once this year

Daniel Jackson is our best option as a tradeable player with some currency.

i guarantee we wouldnt get more than pick50 for him in a compromised draft. McGuane seems to have a few fooled, he's our best bet to get perhaps what we wasted on him pick 38 or whatever the stuff it was. Although we have wasted 6 years and about 450k per season for the last 2...

We may not have gotten 40,000. But we would have gotten more than the PATHETIC 11,000 that turned up to tonight's abomination at that substandard turkish bath.

No 19th man tonight as Dimma and the club have so proudly spruiked in the last few weeks. I don't blame DImma of course I am blaming the club for selling out but with the quirks of the draw Port in Darwin,bye, Swans away, Brissy away and then Melbourne surely in hindsight the least we could have done is have the game here. That's 5 weeks where we don't see our team live in Melbourne. The scheduling from the AFL as much as the selling off of this game is soul destroying and confidence sapping right now.

Ben Cousins' last ever game increased the interest in that match so it's not really a fair comparison
-
it was disgusting from the top down
the worst day in our club since gale and dimma took over
mistakes galore
gale stuffed up sellling our home game, we r not that desperate for the money
dimma for his team selection
fitness staff for draining the boys mid week
they should have trained with a slippery wet ball not cycling in humidity chambers
i love these blokes but cotchin, deledio, jack were pathetic with a greasy ball
and why the stuff all of a sudden could we hold tackles anymore
as soon as we are tipped as favourites and have a chance to get in the 8
WE stuff UP
-
I haven't got time to read everything because I have to head off for brekkie and then the airport.
What I will say is this:
We can say the club stuffed up selling the game and yes I agree if the game was in Melb we probably would have won but based on the mind set last night that would probably wouldn't have happened either
We can blame umpires - yes they were terrible
Simple facts are we were outplayed, out coached by a team more desparate than us and that's what is TOTALLY UNACCPETABLE for mine
But the biggest bottom line is this a good team will win when at any venue at any time... we are not there yet and last night proved we have a long way to go
And BTW TIO stadium is a joke and not an AFL standard venue the AFL should be ashamed :banghead
-
The performance can be summed up in one word
FLAT!
Is that really such a surprise to people?
Love the way people are looking for something to blame. "Oh we sold our soul to the devil and he made us loose."
:ROTFL

Rolls that wasnt aimed squarely at you.
Blaming the playing of the game to Darwin for the way the team played is simply scapegoating, something that always happens when we loose.
We get a good run of form, expectations go overboard and we have a bad game so meltdown happens.

spot on al....It shouldn't matter where we play! I think everyone may have forgot we actually lost to this same team at the dome last round. I wasn't confident that we would win. I've been around too long to know not to get too excited anymore especially when we are favorites.
I'll only get excited when we can beat Carlscum round 1 and take on Geelong and beat them and Collingwood.
Remember we are a young team with a young coaching staff I hope they learn some lessons here.

yes we are we have had this debt hanging around our heads for yrs and it has prevented us from doing whats needed.
2002 5 mi,l 2011 still 4 plus mil. you went thru the frawley wallace yrs you saw what we didnt have in the most critical of areas. instead of 4 mil in debt we need to get 10 mil in the black.
a guaranteed 400k in the coffers against a side we were not guaranteed to make money against in melb. how many do we need to get at the g just to break even its worse at etihad.
at least it was a neutral game port v rich at darwin you couldnt get more neutral. we have the indiginous centre at our ground and we play in darwin if any team should have to play there it should be us.
i know lets just give all that grant money back that we got for our new facilities. seems to me theres a lot of sooking and excuse making simply because far too many got expectations up rated us better than we actually are and when inevitably we come crashing back to earth the wrist slashing and knives come out.
how many times does it have to be said this yr is all about developing and getting games into our kids nothing more. if people look real close and try to be just a tiny bit unbiased we have not been that great to date and last night was an event just waiting to happen.
because of gaping holes in our list i reckon finals are not on the cards to at least 2013. its not as if the club itself has not regularly said to all the feral supporters out there that this yr is most definately very much about development they also said we may lose games that perhaps we should win in the name of that development.
all i can say is such impatience and lack of realism from the supporters is well mind boggling.
-
You can only play whats out there at any given point in time within reason claw.
We can control what we are doing and depending on how well we control the opposition will depend on whether we win or not.
It is of no fault of ours that we have played opposition that is below strength and won b/c had we lost those we would be arking up and complaining about we lost to an understrength side blah blah blah.
I still think our wins are positive and I still see that you also raise some valid points. The excitement generated in the last month has been as a result of our on field efforts but until we can beat the sides we should beat as was the case two weeks ago and last night we will always be battlers at best who have a brief moment in the sun because we are the flavour of the week and then we are back on the backberner.
Perhaps also theis talk of 3-0-75 although realistic is still a fair way off and may never eventuate as the way I see it if we want to consider ourselves a Big 4 club we shouldn't be selling our home games anywhere for anything. Until that day I am prepared to wait but we are half way through Dimma's tenure and he has done wonders so far but he needs to get the consistency into the side and address our defensive and ruck issues.

I am glad we played that game in Darwin - winning games in that situation is just as important as games like the dreamtime game last week. In a lot of ways, it's harder to win when having the pressure of being the hunted. At r11, I'll take 4 1/2 wins with 2 wins against top 8 sides. I'd like to match that ratio for the balance of this year.
And I hope last night stings like some of those big losses last year - players and coaching staff.
The dark years made Australian cricket insatiable for wins in the '90s and I'm hoping our boys develop the same hunger through some of these hiccups.

problem with the lights are this
They recently relamped the towers using 2000 watt Metal Halide lamps.
They were advised to change the control gear for the lamps as well, as they are stuffed and are drawing too much power
The problem isnt with the lamps themselves but the ballast( control gear ) that control the lights

look in honesty i dont disagree with to much of that. all im trying to do is get people to keep things in perspective.we have had a good rub of the green.
we dont have the players to take us to top 4 in fact if we were to make the 8 it would be an out and out over achievement based more on luck than worthiness or readiness.
we lack in many areas. We have a long way to go but we all know this deep down, so why all the angst when we lose.
Ya know if we played games with few kids and lost like we did in the wallace and frawley yrs id be filthy. Thing is we are playing kids and we need to play as many as possible as often as possible, if we lose doing this so be it.
We are locked into the process and it would be utter folly to change tack now. we need to find those who can take us forward and probably more important quickly identify those who cant and keep on turning over the list until we do find those that can.
I think it highly likely over the next 2 or 3 seasons we will turn over another 20 odd players we will be not much different to a lot of other clubs. We need to find kpps ruckmen quality smalls and we need to build depth across the board.
all i want is for our supporters to get it into their heads we are in just yr bloody 2 of what may end up being a complete overhaul of the list. any wins we get atm should be looked upon as a bonus and good for our kids morale. but lets not let a few wins against ordinary or struggling sides cloud where we are actually at and what needs to be done.
im like everyone else i want to win, but i dont want to forever and a day just get the odd win against ordinary sides and this is what will happen if we dont properly go thru the rebuild process now.
I am prepared to go thru lots of pain now or over the next couple of seasons so we can win on a regular basis and actually challenge for a flag in the future.
People just have to realise it takes time and they have to reign in expectations for the short term.They also have to be realistic about our players and how good they are.

I was talking about the ammenities for the fans. The seats in the Grandstande were crap, I am not that tall but struth my legs were crushed in there like bloody sardines, the tiolets were a throwback to the old VFL venues and the food stalls were a site unto themselves

The lights went out the first time in the final qtr of the Foxtel cup game, just one tower and then when the AFL sides were warming up the 2nd tower went out
The word around the stadium at the time was the grid couldn't cope with the extra power being used over at the Pint Club & Hockey ground... it wasn't a great look I must say

Miller was crook the week before. If he still had a virus and played that's a horrible stuff up.

There was not one highlight in the game for me.

Also a rumour on 3AW Rumour File this morning that the Tiges had issues with their stops and Port had chosen to go longer and handled the condition better. (Bloke was apparently sitting next to someone from the Tiges on the flight back from Darwin)
