The AFL site is tipping us to win by 18 pts...
Preview: Richmond v Melbourne
By Paul Daffey and Peter Ryan
afl.com.au
Tue 10 Apr, 2012
WHERE AND WHEN: MCG, Saturday, April 14, 1.45pm
LAST TIME: Melbourne 17.16 (118) d Richmond 13.13 (91), round 14, 2011, at the MCG [Ed: We last played the Dees in round 22 last year :huh ]
MATCH SUMMARY
How things change. Last year's round 14 clash between these teams was billed as a clash of the up-and-comers. And it was a beauty, with Melbourne winning by 27 points. Both teams go into this match without a win this season, but the circumstances differ markedly. Richmond remains a team on the rise after spirited losses to premiership candidates Carlton and Collingwood, while Melbourne is a wooden-spoon candidate after off-field upheavals and whippings from the Brisbane Lions and West Coast.
THE FOUR POINTS
Richmond
1. The experienced Collingwood midfield had only seven more clearances during its 21-point victory over Richmond last Saturday, but it had six centre clearances to one during their third-quarter blitz that won them the game. If the Richmond midfield concentrates, it should be too good for its Demons opponents.
2. Dustin Martin was tipped as an All Australian possibility and Brownlow Medal chance after his barnstorming pre-season, but his form has tapered since then. He had a brief purple patch but was otherwise quiet against Carlton, and he had only 21 disposals against Collingwood. Negating defender Dylan Grimes had 20.
3. It's likely to be a weekly point of interest to see just how the Tigers score with Jack Riewoldt playing more upfield. The idea is to create more avenues to goal, which is a requirement of top teams. That's all fine, but Richmond needs a strong presence from a fellow tall forward in the goal square while Riewoldt upfield.
4. Last year's match in round 14 was built up as a battle between two up-and-coming teams. Melbourne won by 27 points in a duel that did nothing to dampen expectations that both teams would push towards the finals in coming years. It's all changed now. Richmond is tipped to continue its rise while the Demons are tipped as wooden spooners.
Melbourne
1. It's hard to gauge Melbourne's performance against the Eagles except that it was an improvement on week one. West Coast opened up Melbourne in the middle midway through the third quarter just as the Demons were wilting in the heat and the ball just kept going forward. The defence held up reasonably well when you consider the Eagles recorded 77 inside 50s.
2. Mitch Clark was excellent, kicking five of the Demons' nine goals. He competed hard when the ball was at ground level and showed he is a smart player. Clark will be an asset for Melbourne as a leader and a competitor.
3. Melbourne's back half has stood up under all sorts of pressure in the past three seasons. James Frawley, Jack Grimes and Colin Garland are quality young defenders and Jared Rivers was very good early last week. Clint Bartram's effort is hard to question and Tom McDonald adds some versatility. If they can create some run against Richmond this week the Demons might turn the corner.
4. James Magner has been Melbourne's best in the first two games and Jack Watts is showing positive signs. Nathan Jones has not put a foot wrong and the club's young leaders are doing and saying all the right things. In the clamour to criticise Melbourne some of the subtle improvements, particularly their competitiveness in the contested ball count, have been lost.
AFL.com.au prediction: Richmond by 18 points

Those bum holes are forgetting that we competed against the two sides in this Friday night's showdown. Their tea party team got belted at home by some interstate under achievers even when riding emotional high.
Eade reckons that Richmond have only really played 25mins of bad footy in the first two games. IMO it will be a bigger challenge dodging the Land Rovers at the G when trying to leave.
-
Well I was more confident going in against the Blues and the Pies.... :-\
Lets hope I am wrong, surely we can't lose this one?????
-
R Eade is on the money. We will win this one
-

pretty close to agreeing with this
I was more confident of beating the Blues., This is a game we would in the past normally lose
-
AFL don't even know when two of their teams last played :wallywink

Just put Sylvia on her ars x5 and I'll be happy

dejavu
So here we are again at the crunch match of the season only this time its in rd 3
The last time these two teams met for the first time last year it ended with the dees running away by 27 pts.
At this stage we had played 12 games plus 1 bye for a return of 5 wins.
Melbourne had played 12 games plus a bye with a return of 3 wins.
Both teams need a fresh scalp to gain confidence and momentum
In round 6 West Coast 15.16 (106) def. Melbourne 6.16 (52) at subiaco
In round 7 Melbourne 22.17 (149) def. Adelaide 8.5 (53) at the mcg
They clearly had the capacity to to soul search and come back and beat a team after being trounced in perth.
I should also add whatever its worth the week after we were trounced by 103 by carlton, so I think to win this would be huge confidence booster amd losing this the week before driving down the highway to Geelong is a death sentence.... :o
I see this as a danger game and one not to take lightly
My challenge to the Players, Coaches and club, is to address the issues which have been a problem in past with these matches, whether it be concentration for 4 quarters, confindence, player selection or accepting a loss to a pathetic club like melbourne.
Ill be there with the sea of yellow and black in bay M with my family as always, it will be the first game for the kids this year so I would hate to go home without being able to sing the song with kids at the end of the game :-\
GO TIGERS!!! :gotigers

Hmmmm, take out some hard bodied players down on form at present, bring in a couple more rookies.
A recipe for disaster.

Nowhere near that yet.

Yes but they still have Watts to play his once a year blinder :chuck

If Jack plays 'Up the ground' and Spud gets Vickery it could be the end of his career.
-
Chipper Frawley will go to Riewoldt where ever he plays
-
with Sylvia and Moloney not playing, they couldnt possibly beat us, could they ?
course we could lose
Back 6: Garland, Frawley, Bartram, Green, Rivers, Tapscott
mid starting 6: Couch, Jamar, Moloney, Grimes, Magner, Sylvia/Davey
forward starting 6: Watts, Clark, Martin, Howe, Petterd, Trengove
Bench: Jones, Dunn (Bate),Sellar
Sub: Bate (Dunn)
I remember Melbourne duds (Green, Bruce, Miller ;D types) killing us in the 90s
This is the type of game (we we are expected to win) that we as used to losing. Average players seem to look like stars against us. ie. Watts will look like Carey this week and get two touches the following month :P
The Round 4 2009 game still gives me nightmares.

There was a playback of brief audio from ox today i managed to catch it was: "well if your carlton and you win well thats great, richmond well? their just crap)
Or something to that effect
Love to lay the boots in the melbourne scum, cant wait for Gaddys prognosis... lol
btw... I bet gaddy will tip richmnd as he always does against his team (the only time he tips against them) and hell have a smirk on his fat head too :shh

Yep thats right, same as I won't be reading anything into Jackson or Edwarts game SHOULD they play well.
In fact I won't be reading too much into any of our players games until we beat quality opposition.
Sure a couple have been good to very good but the rest pfft...
-
Some ex-dee's have given the club some ammo in the last two weeks
I hope we smash them

We will beat the Demons because...
They have players out such as Green, Jurrah and sylvia who usually murder us. The only 2 guys i am worried about in the dees team are mitch clark and watts. Clark can be stopped by rance and if by some chance that prissy boy watts steps up i am confident deledio will put him on a leash.
Cotchin and/or martin will take the game by the scruff of the neck, if we need it. Cotchin took it upon himself in the carlton and collingwood match to really turn it on when needed. With Moloney out he'll have less to contend with and more freedom to smash the clearances with martin.
Addam maric will have extra motivation to show his ex team what talent he has. Extra fire in the belly to succeed. Expecting some big tackling numbers from him.
Dees currently lack leadership. Cant speak for jack grimes... but watching Trengove on the footy show last night he was out of his depth. When asked simple questions he looked lost. Doesnt seem like a leader off the field and from what ive seen on the field so far its been the same. This is where we can really stick the knife in. Newman and our leadership group have the chance to get in the young dees ears and really take control of this game.
I can see Nahas having a much better game. Was given alot of attention in the last 2 games and i dont think Melb can match that. Expect him to kick about 4 goals.
Melbourne have lacked applying pressure (and coping with it) in the last 2 weeks, which is something that neeld will be addressing. So with that being apparent i dont think it will be a huge win for us. We'll still get the job done, but i dont expect to win by anymore than 30 points.
Positive thinking! :gotigers

Brave punters plunge Tigers
13/4/2012
Paul Gough, Betting Editor
TAB Sportsbet's Adam Hamilton says the money has just continued to come for the Tigers, who opened at $1.30, firmed into $1.25 and are now $1.20.
The Demons in contrast have drifted from $3.30 to $4 and now out to $4.60.

From RFC twitter:
"[Signings] from 12pm - Jayden Post, Luke McGuane, Kel Moore and David Astbury"
"Come to the game early tomorrow from 11am for Multicultural "Before the Pounce", you can buy some falfafel's made by the Houli family!"

Was listening to OX and doctor turf earlier this evening, they ghad some talkback...
One of the callers rang up and said that richmond memberships should come with a dotted line in the middle so we can cut them up during the season.
OX love it and was laughing his arse off, later on he gave a prize to the fella as he thought it was a good call...
Ox, Hairy Malaka... tommorow you will be in tears and using each others bras to wipe your noses :shh EEA has spoken
-
Melbourne game is nothing to get wound up about. They have been smashed by 2 teams this year & if we cant smash them well & truely then we are more behind than we ever thought. A loss tomorrow will see the biggest uproar in football history
-
The key for us is to not think because we're not playing a top side that we can get away with lesser intensity than the first two rounds. Tomorrow is an opportunity to come out with a killer instinct and put our stamp a game with high intensity and hardness at the footy and contest and let us dictate terms. Don't allow them to get an early break on the scoreboard because we come out half asleep or can't kick straight ::) and then get forced to play catch-up.
The main weapon Melbourne have used against us over the couple of years (granted under a different coach) is their outside speed and rebound off the backline. When we've switched off for a quarter or so and our pressure across the ground drops away it has really cut us open. We really need to stamp control around the stoppages and clearances which we've been down in and which has affected our entries inside 50 (too many aimless long bombs on our forwards' heads which are easily defendable).
-
Well, here we are folks. D-Day as it were.
Gunna grab a late breakfast in the city and then walk across.
If we lose this one I think that's it for any respect I have for this club.
-
I have a confession to make. After my pontification on another thread re taking a stand and not going to watch a side that contains inept/freeloading footballers, well.......... my 3 boys got 'wind' of it and revolted. Their argument centred on: the traditional kick in the park,....followed by the feast of junk food, .....climaxing in the festive nature of the day listening to the grog squad and the chance to see the 'Maric's', Ellis, Morris and of course Cotch in action.
Soooooooooo............after a long discussion they convinced me to head-off to the 'g' today. But......I have stated to them clearly that if Jackson or Edwards kills us with a turnover I will scream like a banshee!!!...... Actually, it's always funny to see them jostle as we take our seats - each trying to sit farthest away from me ;D
Btw I did have another motivation for going that they don't know about 8).... My wife on hearing that I wasn't going to the footy was heard to say: "Great, we can all now got to '......'s' 3rd Birthday party (obscure branch of the family)................ :shh

Good call under the circumstances I reckon, especially with that kid's birthday party.
Just head to the game and if we lose or Hackson/Effwards put in another shocker, you can always vent online too :thumbsup

Gotta to say, this is the first time in literally years that I'm going to a game with real fire in the guts, we've been that poo that all I used to go for was to have a look at the young blokes developing. Today its all about the result. Bring it on and don't dare lose, I will torch the place ;D

Me too , its going to take all my strength not to come on here or listen to radio but I just cant stand watching a game knowing whats going to happen. If we loose and Edwards and Jackson turn in the same crap then I will be venting slightly delayed guys. If we win well I will just say "we are exactly as were we expected to be at this time of year". Most of us were thinking 1-4 even though we were hoping for better.

Too cute Richmond, can't believe the dees are only 2 goals down, had a chance to Put some pressure on them. They've brought us down to their level the last 10 mins and they are getting physical like they expect us to fold ::) better go hard and stamp ourselves on the game, they were shocking

Foley burst away from a ball up, find jack by himself 15 meters out....goal!
-
Foley from center bounce to Edwards hits up miller! Shot doesn't make te distance!
-
I can't keep up! Moris playing his best game to date!
-
What a crap game!
We should be killing them!! Rance, Morris and Cotch are leading the way, Newman, Vickery and Maryin are having shockers! The rest are toiling but need to lift big time!!
-
Very poor skills from both teams today, is the wind causing issues, Newman particularly is following on from his atrocious foot skills from last week. Doesn't look like he could hit the side of a barn from 5 metres. Noticed a lot of players almost placing the ball onto their boot in order to ensure the find a target. If we were playing either the scum or the Magpies we would be down by at least 5 goals at halftime.
-
Dunno why I wasted my time coming down, what a poohouse game. We're going nowhere, if Melbourne had any semblance of skills they could have put us under the hammer. I've lost count of the amount of mismatches they've gotten us on, foley vs watts in a marking contest, conca vs Martin, is this for real?
Nobody really standing out, prob grigg, nagas and Morris. Foley was good until the last 10 mins where he started turning it over. Martin, cotch and lids no impact. Edwards been pretty good. Maric getting beaten so far, jack at least presenting!
-
Agree ith boyhood post above, the whole team just seems to be lacking confidence! And we're still not running hard enough......
-
We're getting killed in the ruck. Dees getting first bands on the ball at stoppages. Lucky for us that they are making a few mistakes. Vickery looks fragile, avoiding contests. The only way we can win this is by pressuring Melb out of it.
-
Richmond are a joke of a side.
-
I apolgise to anyone I called peeweak for not coming...
I came with a full head of hair and I will be leaving bald..
Give us something tigers, fireup!! This is fartin peeweak!!
-
Richmond are a joke of a side.
33 points up...... ::)..stuff, what a joke.... :huh
-
Anybody know who Jacko is on?
65
-
about 9 goals up at 3/4 time. Demons the worst team i can remember at AFL level. 8)
-
11 goals up :thumbsup
-
Yes lot's of players lifting! Vickery still unsighted? Jackson still a butcher! Love he games of Grigg, Conca and Morris, Rance and Grimes also doing a great job...
-
stuff yeah, that's more like it! Ran riot that quarter, players loose everywhere, wow Melbourne are bad
Now finish these bums, they would sink the boots in if it was reversed
-
Vickery subed off..... Didn't retails he was even on!
-
I bet there is a steady procession of range rovers leaving the car park right about now. ;D
good to see we put pedal to the metal.
damn i wish I had some coverage! stuck wit the swans port game up here. mind you its a close contest
-
10 goal win, about where we should be, the Eagles did them by 108 or so, in the end nothing to get excited about, we should and we did win, thats about it for me.
-
Gee Foley, 10 inside 50's......
Edwards another poor game by the look of his stats, only 1 inside 50, surely it's time for him and Vickery to go back to Coburg and Gus to come in for Vicks and the pie stand lady to come in for Edwards... :whistle

Foley was Very good, breaks lines and bursts out of the centre, getting better each week. Tuck was epic at the contest today, and Edwards really didn't do anything wrong, he was solid, did some nice things, just needs to get more involved.
Most pleasing thing about today was the output of players like Foley, Tuck, Conca and Grigg through the midfield, our second stringers all had an impact and plentyof it. Really liking the way the defense of batch, rance, grimes, Morris and Ellis is coming along. Fwd line is still pox, viceroy was atrocious, at least jack presented but got to do it more, still loves to sit back and wrestle, get on ur bike! Nahas was good and miller was ok. Martin lids quiet, cotch lifted after halftime
-
A terrible game of football that only became half decent from when Dusty broke through the centre in the third and kicked the long goal which also started the procession. 1st quarter the game was terrible, 2nd quarter the game was terrible, 3rd quarter we were very good for 15 minutes but Melbourne were shocking, 4th quarter the game was terrible. I liked the games of Conca, Morris, Rance, Cotch, Deledio, Grigg got lots of the footy but most of it doesnt impact, Dusty was poor except for his goal, Jack was poor again, Vickery non existant, Newman poor in my book. Both sides are a long long way off it. As for Melbourne, they should merge with Norf.
-
Cheers guys, thanks for the feedback, oh well still a long way to go for a few....never mind at least some of them are starting to stand up.
-
Tigers like a peak hour tram at the moment, too many passengers. Newman and Vickery to name the worst offenders. Cannot believe how much both have fallen so far out of form. Almost look like they are exhausted before the start of the game. Is it something to do with the pre season, have they been worked to hard? Its would be hard to find another AFL captain that has so little impact on a game of football as is Newman at the moment. He will obviously hold his place but Vickery is a dead set certainty to be dropped against the Cats. Would prefer a smaller win but all players contributing, our game plan still needs plenty of work as does the execution, still too many skill errors for my liking.

pretty accurate summary, although i though jack tried to take front position more than he has in the first two games :thumbsup
i was trying to work out who would be subbed and was thinking it would be edwards. vickery was a bit of a surprise, not sure what to read into that. he has been poor,although his tap work has been pretty good in in the last two games when in the ruck, but has offered FA besides that
-
Yeah Tony M is spot on :thumbsup I tell you what Conca will be our best player, along with Cotch, in no time at all :cheers. Lids seems lost - I reckon they should play him forward and give him spurts in the middle.
-
didnt think lids was that bad. he had some impact
-
didnt think lids was that bad. he had some impact
True, but I still would prefer him to play forward most of the time.
-
We looked very nervous at the start, I think the pressure was mental but they settled it down and were able to overcome the charitable umpiring that attempted to keep them in the game in the first half. Was stoked with Rance, he was everywhere, bold as brass taking marks not just spoiling. Tuck was a machine, Reiwoldt is lucky he has any arms so many blokes were hanging off of them whenever the ball came forward, 'play on' .. Nahas was magic turning tacklers inside out and escaping with the ball and making poo happen. The scoreboard flattered them imo. We really have to straighten up in front of goal. Vickery has grown roots or something, he must be injured. He was much more mobile last year and right into it. Jackson was magnificent! lol ok he pinned some Melbourne players on the tit ...hey we all do silly things ..
-
For those who watched it on TV how poor was e broadcast!
I couldn't believe how many times hey would go to a slow mo replay and miss half the play! Nahas just started to run around when he kicked that goal and it cut away! They were even missing the center bounces!! You could hear the ball being bounced in the umpires mike but we were still watching replay of the play before! CH7 really need to get there poo together >:(
-
i dont normally go for this balme the umps crap but we were butt raped today, until that ump went off with an ankle injury.
tucky in particular seems to be getting pinned for anything remotely looking like a free while needing it to be blindingly obvious before the umps even consider giving him a free

thought the same, total crap

I was dismantling things til halftime Al, it could of been an a travesty if that hadn't of stopped. They were only paying them one way and it stunk.
-
My best today were:
3. Grigg
2. Tuck
1. Conca
and Kudos to Foley and our young, courageous backline :bow
BTW I just saw lids stats and they weren't nearly as bad as I first thought, in fact they were pretty good.
-
Melbourne are a basketcase at the moment but it's always good to be on the other end of a belting. :gotigers

Agreed. Princess Watts was the one in particular who seemed to get given frees for nothing. I guess when you're as crap as he is you need all the help you can get.
Back on topic, it was nice to finally see us belt another club! Given how bad Melbourne have been, I think it shows a sign of progress on our part that we actually went out and won comfortably today. In the past few years these are the sort of games that we've screwed up or escaped with a lucky win.
-
Newman has never been great.
Him as captain is comical and he would probably have reservations about it himself,as i have never heard him ever speak with conviction or leadership.
More like he's in a job he aint qualified for.
Nothing against him,more the club for making the decision
-
we havent progressed that much-Melb has regressed
-
Yeah this was a danger game and it started off to script... Just rapt we turned it into the the new script in the second half. Pretty stoked with the way the backs went about it today.
-
We lost to two top 6 sides and beat a bottom 6 side, Id say thats where we expected to be. Good win,expected but still good. Still a chance for top 8 I would say, in fact I think we will make it even if we are 1-4 after 5 rounds. The only thing that worrys me is the lack of form of Vickery and to a lesser extent Jack. The bottom tier player are a problem (Jackson and Edwards) but that was always going to be the case. We are were we expected to be so all the doomsayers and the "why give hardwick a extention" can go hide for a week. They will be back, but I expect them to go away for the back half of the year.
-
true Fluffy
I was more relieved we won than anything else. Tuck, Grigg, Cotch and Foley great games. Loved the big mans game also, gives so much more than Graham ever did.
For me the problems haven't gone away. Bottom few are terrible and Jack and Vickers are really out of form.
For the life of me i dont know how Dimma lets Jack get away with jumping like a lunatic and giving away f50 free kicks.

just watched the replay, the commentary and coverage was superbad, wow. Malthouse??? was this a melbourne love in? he was angling from melbournes pov all game and geez he was very harsh on morris i felt, very blunt assessment all day "hes a niggler" "dont know if richmond need someone like him down back" "does he have the decision making to make it at this level" it was his 3rd game you stuffwit.
What is it with commentators these days? its almost like they have a pregame angle and they stick with it all day ala the 2 monkeys last week in darcy and BT knocking rance and today malthouse angling for melbourne positives and having a crack at morris all day.
BTW i thought Morris was very solid. Watching the replay I liked the way maric worked his way into the game, thought he was getting beaten comprehensively early but hes a warrior
-
Great point TM, Rance is in line for AA honors if he keeps up this form.

got time for Morris liked his game. Unlike that fukwit Jackson he attacks the ball and player but importantly does it fairly and can get the ball too.

Stats arent everything. Half of Griggs stats arent worth anything. just my opinion.
-
84% efficiency says he did something with it when he got it. Thought it was his best game yet for the club, if he can learn to run a little harder the other way he could become an A grader for sure.....
-
l aint seen any of the game but got told the halftime scores & was very nervous. Happy they won now to watch the game after this Essendon vs Goldies with some coldies :thumbsup
-
Demons the worst team i can remember at AFL level. 8)
Demons were disgustingly bad in the 3rd quarter. If we were playing half decent footy we should have won by at least 120.

yet when asked about what experienced players like jackson offer malthouse was quite praising :huh
-
I thought it started scrappy because Melbourne dragged us to their level and forced us to play their sloppy brand. Once we opened them we got on top though. When we are as quality as someone like Wet Toast we'll open them from the first bounce.
Morris was a ripper. Rance in B&F form. Would be tops if Grigg could replicate that form.
Watts needed Benny Hill music.
-
Melbourne should be kicked out of the comp. Brad Miller is our best forward.....
-
Mm said morris goes hard but his skills vs the.better sides would be key. Not an unfair poibt.

Agree TFT. They also need to ditch all the long distance views, its bloody useless because you can't see anything.

Completely agree. Also at one stage, I think it was when Martin goaled, the camera was focused for ages on the Melbourne coach.
-
they weren't any better in the bummers-suns game, so poor coverage must be a policy rather than down to one poor producer
-
Very pleased with the tackling. The Tackling was brilliant eg Batchelor on Davey in the 3rd and Tuck's tackling. Thought Grigg, Tuck and Nahas played exceptionally well. Best game Conca has played for the club. Foley also played well as did Morris. Grimes and Rance were overall solid in defence. What was very good was that Lids, Newman, Cotch and Dusty didn't have particularly good games and we still one but having said that lids, dusty and cotch all rose in the third quarter.

Probably about 5 metres away on Vickery's side ;D
-
They did worse to him all do saw him double teamed , grabbed , arms chopped or pulled every time the ball was near him, umpire ignored it. Was all over it up the other end.
-
Umpires ignore it because of his percieved "attitude" problem, I'd be feral too really..
-
blokes who Jump early,put their hands on someones shoulders,lay down instead of chasing,sook and not chace again,dont deserve sht.Thats Jack

Nope! Should be the same rule for everyone. If Rance is pinged for grabbing Mitch Clarke by the arm, then Melbourne shouldn't get away with having two or three blokes clawing at Jack at every contest. We had to put up with this double standard for years with Richo, and now it seems to be happening all over again.
-
"Wahhh double standards against richmond forwards"
Please.
-
blokes who Jump early,put their hands on someones shoulders,lay down instead of chasing,sook and not chace again,dont deserve sht.Thats Jack
:bow
He should be dragged every single time he does by Dimma until he gets it in his head to stop that rubbish.
He is fast becoming one big sook much worse than his cousin, at least Nick chases, tackles, harrasses. Jack seems a selfish footballer at the minute IMO
-
hes been spoilt rotten
Believes his own poo.
Thinks he runs the forwardline.
If i was Brad Miller and that young,ugly,egomaniac told me what to do id smash him
-

Rewoldt has some pages still that he stole from Conners book. l think he used them making doobies ;D
-
I thought I was at the tennis. The Melbourne supporters 'cheered' and fell to silence right before every bounce. At least the early finish meant that they could get to their dressage competition.
-
What's of interest with Jack is his shouting at teammates when things don't go his way.this is a real concern
-

Questions for everyone
(a) In recent times how often have you experienced a Richmond victory and have felt the game was "in the bag" at 3/4 time ?
(b) When was the last time Richmond won a match by over 50 pts ?
-

all power forwards do that sought of poo.
After watching the replay Jack actually wasnt that bad. Worked hard and was unlucky not to kick a bag. He hit the post a few times and was blatantly infringed on multiple times. He also got robbed of a mark and had some goal assists.
A solid performance from Jack.
-
My favourite Jack moments are when he shanks a shot at goal and then starts yelling at everyone and telling them to set up the zone. Leadership :clapping :lol They know the zone Jacky boy ;)

I was waiting for a mention about the hair. Allan McKellar from the early 90's had an ordinary hairdo from memory.

"Wahhh double standards against richmond forwards"
Please.
Seriously, you should be an umpire. If you didn't see Jack's disallowed mark in the third qtr, or the blokes chopping his arms you'd have to be suffering from Geischen syndrome. Even the commentators mentioned it.

It's called leadership, making sure blokes are setting up. You blokes obviously not very familiar with playing on a football feild
-
Played plenty of footy mate. Didn't need a 23 year old to tell me my place in the zone because the zone gets drilled into you during pre-season. Everyone knows they're spot.
Leadership my stuffing ass, get a clue. Am guessing you played very little football if you think Riewoldt is a great leader. He's a stuffing sook. Being in the leadership group doesn't mean you're a leader. Pointing at people and telling them where to go (when they're already well aware of where they need to be) is not leadership. Putting your head over the footy contest after contest and winning football games by putting the team on your back is leadership.
-
Are you going to tell us?
-
:shh

Are you going to tell us?
Don't you love it when people do that........ :banghead

Oohhh "buddy" :bow I like it. That's almost as good as "champ' and "chief". :bow
You reckon Riewoldt would dare raise his voice and tell Richardson where to stand?? No. The players know their role. If someone is out of position and someone notices then sure, yell as loud as you can and tell them (or someone else) to go to that spot. I just don't think Riewoldt pointing fingers after yet another shanked kick is what "leadership" is. I was certainly never inspired by a player that told everyone else what to do. I liked teammates that stood up when the going got tough and just went hard all day. Chimp would be a delight to play with. I'm not that big on blokes who crack the poos when things don't go their way...At least Richo kept working his ass off even when he got peeed.

You cannot post a rumour or rumours unless you have absolute proof of its truth. And that proof will stand up in a court of law and that includes posts with "cryptic" clues, posts made in jest
You can also not accuse someone of something illegal without proof.
If you do so then legally under the defamation laws as they stand in this country then can not only sue the person who posted the comment be sued but also the owners of the web-site and the site shut down.
Can we make it any clearer?

I'm not that big on blokes who crack the poos when things don't go their way...At least Richo kept working his ass off even when he got peeed.
Just trying to keep the argument civil because it seems you're getting a little worked up ;)
By what Dimma says, players are still not familiar with their roles in the structure so anyone having a bit of talk does no harm. I guess your seeing it as abuse?

agree that davey is getting worked up

Agree, Davey need's to pipe down a little and concentrate in getting the Beefcake back in the side.....

Played plenty of footy mate. Didn't need a 23 year old to tell me my place in the zone because the zone gets drilled into you during pre-season. Everyone knows they're spot.
Leadership my stuffing ass, get a clue. Am guessing you played very little football if you think Riewoldt is a great leader. He's a stuffing sook. Being in the leadership group doesn't mean you're a leader. Pointing at people and telling them where to go (when they're already well aware of where they need to be) is not leadership. Putting your head over the footy contest after contest and winning football games by putting the team on your back is leadership.
Played plenty of different team sports to understand leadership buddy.
Show me where I said his a great leader? I'd rather a player yell get in the zone than stand there silently.
Oohhh "buddy" :bow I like it. That's almost as good as "champ' and "chief". :bow
You reckon Riewoldt would dare raise his voice and tell Richardson where to stand?? No. The players know their role. If someone is out of position and someone notices then sure, yell as loud as you can and tell them (or someone else) to go to that spot.

Not seeing it as abuse at all. I originally said my favourite JR moments are when he misses a shot and right away starts pointing fingers at everyone and telling them where to go when they're already on their way to that spot :lol You then told me "that's leadership, buddy". What was your other comment, buddy? I'm probably not familiar with playing sport if I didn't think it was leadership? I've already talked about what I consider to be leadership. Mitch Farmer apparently knew all the structures better than anyone, doesn't mean he was a leader.
How's the arthritis btw?

Im saying talking to your team mates is a leadership trait, being silent and sooking about a miss is not. Can't talk about Mitch Famer because I never took notice if he talked or not, so that is irrelevant
Don't know what you mean by arthritis, but I'm sure it's meant to be a sarcastic joke.

No, it was a serious question. Anyway, we've made something out of nothing so let's leave it at that.
Kind regards,

Definitely another lad

I think you've crushed the coach's feelings

This. The Coach does not like to be rejected and in this instance is not a happy camper
