we should make this an annual blockbuster, just like the North Melbourne WGAF cup, the Kick 7 shades of poo out of Melbourne Cup, the kids can get colouring books and try and match the shades live as the action happens.

Need to make a statement. Thrashing Melbourne by over 100 points after they have been under the mircoscope would be a statement

We should beat these guys by 100+ points. Honestly, Hardwick deserves the arse if he can't deliver the humiliation of these softies. Huge win coming our way surely
In Dimma We Trust, no excuses etc. Get the job done.

Reasons why we should sink the boots into the Melbourne FC when they are down and are the laughing stock of the AFL.
1993, R 6
MELB (22.21.153) def RICH (8.12.60). 93 points loss
1993, R 21
MELB (26.19.175) def RICH (8.6.54). 121 points loss
....And the first ever game that I left before the final siren. IIRC, we only had to lose this game by no less than 30 points to make the finals.
1998, R 22
MELB (19.19.133) def RICH (8.9.57). 76 points loss
This is enough reason to show no mercy on Sunday.
100+ point victory.
:gotigers

Hope they have the drummers when the players run out. That would scare em pooless
-
if we lose to melb i will lose it
and we better win by 100plus nothing less is acceptable

I address this to all posters.
I want us to win not narrowly but convincingly as some here have specified.
What I want internally is the Richmond Football Club to put this ski squash polo and tennis club to the sword whilst at the same time maintaining focus and ensuring that the hit out on Sunday maintains our focus into Dreamtime and not as it did 4 weeks ago after we had a stroll against the Dogs and fell mentally and physically short against the Skunks.
Whilst winning by plenty to improve % is critical and will help to keep us in the 8 short term what will secure us in the 8 long term is winning games like Sunday followed up by beating teams above us on the ladder that hopefully others fighting for our place may not defeat.
Focus is the key. We all expect to beat Melbourne by plenty and it will happen, they may be competitive for a quarter or so but we all need to understand that this Sunday is just an entree main course is the next two games really and being 7-3 is far better than 5-5.
Focus will mean finals boys. :thumbsup

Totally agree. I remember those matches in 1993. Time to extract revenge.

It's our time for a 100+ victory and to grab a chunk more confidence for the 'Dreamtime' match.

Just get the 4 points and a win that's what I want 4 or 5 goals and a 4 qtr effort.Demons will come out early as there week has been a disaster.We have to be swithched on and on tha ball.Dont get ahead of yourself guys we know what can happen :'(.

Cotchin and Vickery look likely to return against the demons.
RICHMOND looks set to welcome back superstar captain Trent Cotchin and forward Ty Vickery for Sunday's clash with embattled Melbourne.
Cotchin missed last week's win against Port Adelaide with a knee complaint, but has been listed as "available" on the Tigers' injury list.
There were suggestions the Tigers would play it safe with their gun captain this week and hold Cotchin over until the Round 9 match against Essendon.
But Cotchin, a hot Brownlow Medal chance, looks certain to replace Shane Tuck.

Judging by Dimma's comments in his weekly dissection, They are expecting the dees to come bursting out of the gate.
Im sure Dimma and the coaching staff will remind the boys not to get ahead of themselves before the game, its up to the players to go in for the kill.

Preview: Tigers v Demons
By Jennifer Phelan
afl.com.au
Wednesday, May 15, 2013
SUMMARY
The Tigers won against the odds last week when they travelled to AAMI Stadium to take on Port Adelaide without captain Trent Cotchin, Dylan Grimes, Tyrone Vickery and Ricky Petterd, and with Ivan Maric under an injury cloud. It was their fourth win for the season and halted a run of three straight losses. For the Demons, things went from bad to worse when they went down to Gold Coast by 60 points on Sunday. The Suns had never won in Melbourne before but easily accounted for the Dees, who were without Jack Grimes, Jack Trengove, Mark Jamar and Mitch Clark. It was the Demons' sixth loss for the season and has put the club – and coach – under even more pressure.
WHERE AND WHEN: MCG, Sunday, May 19, 3.20pm
LAST FIVE TIMES
Rd 15, 2012, Richmond 13.23 (101) d Melbourne 11.12 (78) at the MCG
Rd 3, 2012, Richmond 20.13 (133) d Melbourne 11.8 (74) at the MCG
Rd 22, 2011, Richmond 17.15 (117) d Melbourne 17.8 (110) at the MCG
Rd 14, 2011, Melbourne 17.16 (118) d Richmond 13.13 (91) at the MCG
Rd 19, 2010, Melbourne 16.13 (109) d Richmond 11.14 (80) at the MCG
THE SIX POINTS
1. Richmond defeated Melbourne twice in 2012, winning by 59 points in round three and by 23 in round 15. Both games were played at the MCG.
2. The Tigers have won the past three games between the sides but since 2010 it's been three wins each. This will be the 184th contest between them and Richmond holds a clear advantage with 102 wins to 79, with two draws.
3. The two longest co-tenants at the MCG have met at the venue on 128 occasions with Richmond winning 68 times to Melbourne's 59, with one draw.
4. Melbourne is one club Jack Riewoldt hasn't dominated against, kicking 12 goals in 10 games, with a best haul of just three in 2010. This year, the Richmond spearhead has kicked 24 goals in seven games, his biggest bag of seven coming in round two against St Kilda. Last week he booted five goals against Port Adelaide.
5. Melbourne has the worst offence this season with 75 points per game. Defensively, they are ranked 17th, conceding an average of 136 points. The Demons are also ranked 17th in both contested and uncontested possessions while the Tigers are sixth and fifth respectively.
6. If this is a thriller, get on the Tigers. The last five games between the sides decided by less than a goal, dating back to 1957, have all been won by Richmond.

No Grimes, not sure about Frawley
They are saying Watts and possibly Jamar back
-
Look for Jack to have a big one this week. Frawley has had his measure big time in recent years but he is shadow of that player now .( seriously wtf is wrong with that club ? )
Time for some revenge Jacky boy.

Jack will play Frawley into form

Frawley looks disinterested and lazy, hope he is coming out of contract, doesnt want to be there.

JR to kick 11+

Yeh I agree. He can play that lad but he's like the rest of 'em . Doesn't give a toss.
Brent Moloney is a prime example of everything that's wrong with Melbourne. Pathetic in 2012 playing for Melbourne's seconds now having a pretty good season for The Bears.

I don't see how that club can turn it around.

Chris Dawes and David Rodan, obviously ::)

if neeld had gone to the trade table and recruited kids and possibly kept club fav's Mcdonald and Maloney then maybe they would have let him serve his full term but he didnt and will be shown the door.
The recruitment of Rodan was outright stupid but a first round for Doors was the worst recruiting mistake i have seen since the Mclovin recruit.
But problem is with former greats Lyon, Stynes and Schwab if you ask me. Lyon sticking his nose in but then backing off when the going get tough. He from memory was instrumental in sacking Bailey and hiring Neeld. Stynes and Schwab were major players in the tanking fiasco.
whose decision was the 2 captains?
you cant tell me all their top recruits were all spuds. They may be now but surely thats due to development
-

Just a minor correction there daniel: Neeld didn't give MacDonald the flick. That was Bailey's doing and to be honest probably his biggest mistake. Playing group weren't happy with it
-
i reckon the fear of losing draft picks played a part in trading them for players.
-
I don't see how that club can turn it around.
I don't either Coach. They are deep deep in it. Can't see them getting out of it... maybe ever ?
Western Demons anyone ?
Same, on Demonland they're talking about attracting a big name free agent... :nope
They're also wondering what they could trade to get Dion Prestia... a couple have suggested Frawley. Robbing Peter to pay Paul. Gain - good midfielder, Lose - Only decent defender they have.
But when they get Clark back, teamed with Hogan and Dawes, they'll have a brutal forward line, but no way to get the ball to those 3 players. :lol

Pick 3 and Pick 13 in the mini-draft for Hogan and 20 was just as stupid. Pick 3 was plenty enough to get the job done, unless the dogs were offering 5 and 6, then no-one else could have offered better than that.

SPORTAL THINK:
The Tigers have won their last three against the Demons and we see no reason why they won't make it four in this clash. Damien Hardwick's side are a class above the Dees and are fighting for a spot in the finals, while for Mark Neeld it's just a matter of making sure he doesn't have to lodge his centrelink forms next week. You would have to think the Dees will show more fight than they have in many of their matches so far this year, but it is hard to see them being competitive enough to test the Tigers for the entire match. Richmond's midfield has too much class and the likes of Jack Riewoldt, Tyrone Vickery and Luke McGuane will convert enough goal scoring opportunities to heap more misery on Neeld and the Demons. Richmond by 72 points.
http://www.sportal.com.au/afl-news-display/preview-richmond-v-melbourne-235233
Just for the record, Melbourne's average losing margin this year has been 78 points.

Remember the Old VFA scores on a Sunday on the news back in the early 80's.
Every week someone used to kick "the sweep" against Sunshine.
May we do the same on Sunday to the Melbourne Fairy Club and kick "the sweep".

Frawley looks disinterested and lazy, hope he is coming out of contract, doesnt want to be there.
Contracted until the end of next year Sib. But I would chase him if he was available, he is top notch and just needs a club that won't break his spirit.

I just hoped were switched on from the first bounce to the last.Demons will come out so we got to put them to the sword right away.
-
Just had a look at their side.
On paper it actually doesn't look too bad.
We better not go into the game like we did against GC last year or they'll beat us!

If we play like we have already won, we will lose.

A huge first quarter repeat like last week will ensure any idea of making it difficult for us will erode pretty quickly and we'll be on course for a huge win. :thumbsup

Good clubs smash crap clubs. The four points will be great, but annihilating those toffs will make a statement.

Big win keep focus and get on with the job next week at Dreamtime.

....just saying.

agree
-
We should expect a comfortable win but the Dees will be well and truly switched on for this game and there intent should not be underestimated. I think we should still win well because individual focus often comes crashing down when you don't get reward for effort so the first quarter will be a massive indicator for the rest of the game. Break them early on the score board and the cards will tumble but if they are in the game still at quarter time then we will have to fight out the win.
A massive margin is not a given despite last weeks results
-
Having said all that, if we came out and won by 20-30pts I'd be pretty filthy. Needs to be a big margin no excuses

C'mon lets get serious here.
We must take this opportunity to not only boost our percentage but to really work to our strengths & game plan.
We should systematically demoralize. We should decimate. We should cut to shreds. We should run rings around. We should post a big score. We should dishearten their supporter, discourage their coach, depress the Hairy Malaka, weaken the teams resolve, rattle their defence, unnerve their forwards, psych out their midfielders, disempower their new CEO, dispirit David Schwarz & deject every supporter around the camp fire at a ski lodge.
.....And we should do all this in the first quarter.
Melbourne is an absolute rabble and we should do exactly what the bummers and the suns have already done to them.

C'mon lets get serious here.
We must take this opportunity to not only boost our percentage but to really work to our strengths & game plan.
We should systematically demoralize. We should decimate. We should cut to shreds. We should run rings around. We should post a big score. We should dishearten their supporter, discourage their coach, depress the Hairy Malaka, weaken the teams resolve, rattle their defence, unnerve their forwards, psych out their midfielders, disempower their new CEO, dispirit David Schwarz & deject every supporter around the camp fire at a ski lodge.
.....And we should do all this in the first quarter.
Melbourne is an absolute rabble and we should do exactly what the bummers and the suns have already done to them.
Tucker just wants to root them into oblivion all ;D
Those filthy and dirty footy clubs?
I wouldn't root them with if I had your middle finger at my disposal Ramps.
Just like I wouldn't bet on Tom Waterhouse even with other people's money.
I would obliterate them (The Toffs and Skataboners) beyond human recognition though.

Neeld is already pulling out excuses a day before the game has even started :whistle.
---------------------------------------------------
The Demons coach spoke of the need for fans to remain patient, as the club's youngsters continue to develop.
Neeld said research had found premiership teams were made up of players with an average of 110 games of experience.
The Demons will have 13 players under 50 games running out against the Tigers on Sunday.
To put it in perspective, though, ladder-leaders Geelong will have nine players with less than 50 games experience in its clash with Collingwood at the MCG on Saturday night.
However, Neeld said the club has seven of its first choice selected players out – namely injured forward Mitch Clark and suspended midfielder Colin Sylvia.

Tigers unbackable against Dees
Paul Gough, Betting Editor
Sportal.com.au
18/05/2013 8:32 PM
Richmond are set to start at their shortest price in any AFL game for 17 years against hapless Melbourne at the MCG on Sunday.
The Tigers are the heartbreak team of the competition, having played in just two finals series in the past 31 years and having finished in ninth spot on six occasions since the top eight was introduced in 1994.
But so bad are Melbourne - who have just allowed Gold Coast to win their first ever game in Victoria and whose six defeats this season have come by an average of 13 goals - that the Tigers are at the kind of unbackable price on Sunday usually reserved for teams of the stature of Geelong and Hawthorn.
The Tigers are just $1.01 in head-to-head betting at the TAB and only marginally bigger odds of $1.02 at Centrebet and $1.04 at Betfair against a Melbourne side at as much as $23 at Betfair.
You have to go all the way back to 1996 when Richmond played Fitzroy in the Lions' last ever game in Melbourne before they merged with Brisbane to find the last time the Tigers were at such short odds to win an AFL game.
With four wins from seven games so far this season to be sitting in seventh spot, the Tigers are showing signs of genuine improvement at last and are even as short as $1.04 at Centrebet to win by 25 points plus and just $1.13 at Betfair to win by 40 points plus.
And the start the Tigers have to give at the line is a massive 73.5 points at sportsbet.com.au at $1.92 and 102.5 points at Betfair to get $2.26.
But even without injured trio Shane Tuck (shoulder), Chris Knights (knee) and Ivan Maric (ankle), the punters are backing the Tigers at the short odds against a Melbourne side that is also missing two of their few contributors this season in the suspended Colin Sylvia and the injured Jack Viney.

On Game Day they just played a radio conversation of Gary Lyon not backing Neeld and saying a review is needed to take place on him having the job in his final year of contract 2014.

Time for Gary to put up or shut up I reckon..throw your hat into the coaching ring and show us what you can do

Maybe a few tiges thought the dees odds were too good to pass up on, well thats the only conclusion after that insipid first quarter.
-
That was very flat, no urgency no intensity just a waste of a solid quarters worth of percentage.
-
Good teams go in for the kill against a wounded opponent, we seem to want to apply first aid. 15 inside 50 to 6 and still behind, incredible.
-
Don't get too hung up on percentages and winning margins and smashing them.....at this rate.... :o

He's aboriginal.
We can't recruit, develop or stop any of them.

with nahas foley and rance in the team the demons have 3 extra players
this has been a pathetic display
-
morris needs to become more accountable or his next in the firing line
-
Haven't seen much of Foley. He use to break the lines before his injury has he lost a step of pace since his been back.
-
Wow just wow...
Melbourne have been niggling us and getting physical all day culminating in that push and shove at half time. For mine that shows that they don't respect us and think we are a soft target they can actually take down. That is embarrassing!!! stuffing embarrassing, that 1st half performance was embarrassing. No intensity, just lazy short passing and bombing it to the square time and again, whilst the rabble were stretching us and creating one on ones in their 50 letting hacks like Dawes expose our backmen lol stuff me.. Dawes!
Good sides dont have a rabble like melbourne playing confidently bc they think deep down inside that they can take us. Good sides, even average sides, have beaten these guys by a minimum of 10 goals this season and yet against us they are scoring every second time they go inside 50 ffs.
Im just sick and tired of this stuffing side, can never take advantage of a situation can we? We have a chance to pad our percentage and instead we find ourselves in a dogfight against a vfl calibre side thats grown in confidence bc we havent put the foot down. If we are serious as a football side we will come out in the second half and blow them away and let them know after each and every stuffing goal!!
idiots!!!!!!!!!!!

Too much handball, watch the cats, pies, hawks, a quick kick out of a pack is the better option in most cases, we are trying to to thread the needle too often. FFS kick the thing, this is Gold Coast all over again. Can almost see the last minute of the game with us handing them the game with a handballing error. Their game plan is simple, play man on man and feed off our poor decision making.
-
if we dont rip them a new ahole in the second half questions must be asked
-
Only way we score from a set shot is if we mark in the goal square, pretty pathetic. I tell you what, is the RFC registered as a charity organisation, we must be, we are really giving today :banghead :banghead

Go stuff yourselves rfc weak idiots

It's like we are in year 12 and we are letting a 7th grader push us around.

everyone gets huge percentage boost against crap sides.. except us
screw Hardwick overrated coach
how the stuff does he keep rance in the team and Foley Wtf has not done a thu.gr
we Miss tuck
nahas stuff
RFC HAS NO BALLS
-
Would be 10 goals behind against any other team in the comp.
Hats off to Vlastiun and Ellis. Been sensational today. Without them we'd have been smashed.
-
This team is going nowhere, no guts and dont have the right attitude and mindset.
-
Midfielders please note:
DON'T KICK TO A SMALL (nahas/king) INSIDE FORWARD 50 UNLESS HE'S ON HIS OWN!
Simple I know but we are talking about Richmond here.
-
Goal kickers please note:
THERE SHALL BE NO GOAL CELEBRATIONS AGAINST A VERY POOR SIDE YOUR STRUGGLING TO PUT AWAY!
Simple I Know but its embarrassing. :banghead
-
I've hated every one of Ellis 35 touches because its making a 24 carot nob of my mate big tone :thumbsup
-
Big clap for the tiges, trying to show us they can ice a game and melbourne pressure us to cause a turnover goal. :clapping
-
Defenders please note:
DO NOT pee FART AROUND WITH THE BALL IN DEFENSIVE 50!
Simple I know but the dees just keep on getting easy goals. :banghead
-
Feels like a loss. Hey heres a new concept, try and score goals in the last 5 minutes, FFS, no Chipping backwards, we are the worst exponents in the competition :banghead :banghead :banghead
-
All I am gonna say is I hope that stuffing umpire dies in a car fire, stuffing charity match bullpoo ... KIss my arse
What could they do, everytime they touched a stuffing Melbourne player it was a free kick but they could mug our players like it was an all in brawl
-
Ummm.....
....that was a FAIL!
....and very very very embarrassing. :banghead
-
Melbourne can take a lot more out of that game

Bring back Maric asap. Stephenson got murdered today.
Nahas not uo to AFL level.

We only gained 4%.
Waste waste waste waste

Agreed on both points, but who do you bring in for Nahas?

Game proved 3 things to me today.
1. You cannot possibly compete on an even playing field when the maggots decide otherwise.
2. You cannot possibly win big when the opposition coach floods the crap out of the game with no other intention than saving his arse by limiting the margin.
3. You cannot possibly win big when you play dumb dumb dumb football.
-

How many times did we kick it to Nahas one out with Garland...
Really scary stat that McGuane is our most "kicked to" target this year. Its a positive we aren't always going to Jack but if we are going to go to a player, cause Jack is double teamed, I'd much rather it be Aaron Edwards or Vickery. In saying that 0/4 from Vickery was poor but at least he played a decent game around the ground.
-
You tell me Smokey, they working to script or what? I know what bulls1 t smells like, And the umpiring was first and foremost stinking up the joint today. You can't trust what you are watching anymore.

Arnott. He can rotate in the midfield too.

Good post.
We were bit sloppy, had a horrible conversion rate in front of goal where as Melbourne were lucky and kicked straight if we had their conversion rate and they had ours we win by 16 goals.
Good kick up the butt this week to make sure we are ripe for Essendon who had a tough close game against the Lions.
Vlastiun and Ellis big big positives.
-
Not sure why people thought we would win by 100+ points. Melbourne were always going to flood and make it a scrappy game. They did this well and we didn't handle it that great.
However, glass half full here... we smashed them in possesions, inside 50's, contested posessions, clearances, contested marks, and were relatively even with tackles. The only stat we got murdered was hit outs.
We got game time into Foley, Vlas and Ellis killed them whilst Cotch and Lids were relatively quiet.
If we kicked straight we have got a result that truly reflected the game, 60+ points.

The problem wasn't who we kicked it to in the forward line, it was how. That's mainly what I was referring to with "dumb dumb dumb" football. I got sick to death of Melbourne on their few forays forward lowering their eyes and kicking low to a leading target while we kept blazing away with kicks that were landing on the heads of our forwards. The definition of stupidity is when you keep doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome. Today, our players = stupidity.

Agree Pope, these were the biggest (only) positives I got out of today as well. The look on the player's faces after the game said it all. None looked happy with the win and there is now absolutely no danger of big heads ruling next Saturday night.

never walked away from a win feeling like we lost
thats our worst win in history

Vlastuin reminds me of Joel Selwood, but Vlastuin actually wins free kicks fairly. Played a huge game today but we shouldn't talk him up too much because as soon as he has a bad game you know everyone will say he should be dropped.

Having a whinge about the umpires is sweeping under the carpet what the real smell was. We were just putrid today, yep the umps were bad but it had no influence on the way we played today, we waltzed out there like a bunch of millionaires. The scary thing was this was the same mindset we used to take into seasons after we finished 9th the year before "no worries boys, we're there, just have to rock up next season and we're playing finals" we'd be sacking a coach halfway through the season. Dont know wtf it is down there but our club continues time and again to get way to comfortable with themselves. Today was UNACCEPTABLE. That poor excuse of a football side has been losing by an average losing margin of 78pts. We missed goals bc all our shots were on a 45 degree angle or quick snaps shots under pressure, we didnt dominate the corridor like we should have to kick easy ones. The only time the tempo was acceptable was the last qtr when we went for the kill, the first 3 qtrs were stuffing pathetic

Because we were playing a rabble that's been on its knees.
...and simply, we should have!
There's no excuses for what happened today IMO.
34 points hard fought victory..... Pffft!!!
-
spot on MrT but the usual apologist sheep will be on here telling us to move along nothing to see here. Sometimes you have to take a stand and say its just not good enough, nothing less than a win against the roid ragers next week will make up for this poo. Thanks goodness it was the mrs bday today so I didnt go along to the game - wouldve done a stuffing coronary

Every player with a disposal efficiency of less than 75% should have a good hard look at themselves.

Clearances and Orrens ruckwork were a worry.
-
melbournes rucks nullified ours well at the center bounce by going early and putting the boots in to keep ours out of the contest.
The free that Vickery recieved from the center bounce was an extreme example of their tactic all day

Agree it was the type of hit out I wanted before Dreamtime. A competitive Melbourne that forced us to work rather than a big easy training drill type win. A win like this still keeps the club and players grounded with the knowledge that they still have a long way to go and presents us with a better chance of winning rather than the Dogs type of win we had in round 3 leading into the Magpies game where we were so deficient in so many areas.
With Dempsey and Davey coming in for them next week we'll really need to be up and ready. :thumbsup
-
Clearances and Orrens ruckwork were a worry.
Cotch is playing hampered. Just a seagull atm and his disposal is a worry.
This is the game where we missed a Tuck who with his big battering type of body he would have smashed the Dees mids whilst funnelling the ball out to our less battered blokes.
Lids finally broke away but it seems with Cotch hampered tag Lids and you stifle Richmond atm.

No Tuck and Conca doing the grunt work is hurting us tucker. I was happy with Cotch today. When he has a bit of time his disposal by foot is sublime, some of those passes to a leading fwd were pin point, his problems start when he starts going for kicks under pressure that are nigh on impossible to execute according to Einsteins law of physics. Needs to improve that area of his decision making - keep it simple bc trying to hit a target at a 45 degree angle with the outside of your foot at full pace is bound to end in tears.

People aren't giving Melbourne enough credit here. Melbourne came to play today and did not give us any space or time to cleanly depose of the ball. They played man on man across the ground and effectively tagged almost every one of our midfielders. They tackled hard and won and large percentage of stoppages. We weren't off our game - they were just on theirs.
The great part is is that we were able to absorb the pressure and still pull away from them to win by 30+. The bad part is our set shots and McGuane/Nahas/Big O/Foleys poor game. Foley isn't fit enough yet - Arnot should have played until he was ready imo. McGuane was dragged because he was not providing a contest - Choco was hip and shouldering him on the boundary to show him as much Nahas is a waste and the Big O was beaten.
Ellis and Vlaustin were not show the respect of our other midfielders by their direct opponent and as a result showed their ability. Very excited about Tiggas game.
All in all a good hard fought victory.

So melbourne up and about vs us up and about is about a 5 goal difference stripes? If thats the case then we're well and truly stuffed. :rollin
We came out with zero intensity and let them grow in confidence and belief as a result. The only time we showed the required intensity was the first 15-20mins of the final qtr when we buried them. If we brought that from the beginning, we wouldve flogged them. - Mindset

When he has a bit of time his disposal by foot is sublime, some of those passes to a leading fwd were pin point, his problems start when he starts going for kicks under pressure that are nigh on impossible to execute according to Einsteins law of physics. Needs to improve that area of his decision making - keep it simple bc trying to hit a target at a 45 degree angle with the outside of your foot at full pace is bound to end in tears.
Yes whilst that kick in the first quarter to King was sublime to me he just does not have the aura he had last year or early this year and I feel that his knee may be hampering him more than the club is leading on. Still admiring the fact he wants to lead and he's still a star but as I said just feel he is playing restricted.

Just glad they won because it was the first game I was able to make this season :thumbsup. Not to mention some bloke gave me free tickets outside the stadium that were absolutely sublime

Whats done is done. I expected a bigger margin but Neeld had his players ready to play today, the were aggressive right throughout the day. They got alot of cheapies from the umps as well IMHO. In the end we got the 4 points and Hardwick will have more than enough ammunition to throw at his players for next week. Nahas is offering us very little - is their a kid at coburg who deserves a chance?

more of the same sort of crap from the team today.
a team that has a third of its kicks alone that result in clangers or are ineffective has problems.
a forward line that gets so much ball driven in there and cant convert has real problems.
a backline that leaks so many goals from so few forward 50 entries has problems.
ah well what has changed in any game we have played this yr its same old same old as it was last yr.
people having a go at orren i thought he competed well and at least made it hard for their mids. yes he got beaten.
some wont like this but im having a go at vickery here again. which ever role he plays kpf or ruck he just doesnt look like performing the role well. yes he had a bit of ball today but he didnt look like taking the game apart in the air or impact contests and that is his primary role as a ruck/forward.
the forward line remains a huge concern and rance down back!!!!! my god when will people wake up.. im sorry people but we have to look for better.

Dead set have no idea why you bother watching us. Must be one of the biggest drainers on your life. You also seem to be missing the weeks we do well. Just a small observation.

Was trying to help him out. I don't get why you'd put yourself through it every week if you hate it so much. Meh :cheers

Felt like we only did just enough to win. Kicking for goal very poor. Ty missed three gettable shots, Grigg mised one as well. If we kicked accurately game would have been over by half time. Didn't captialize on their errors as well. Thought Ellis was outstanding and Brett was good as well. Liked Dustin's game- went forward after being quiet and kicked three important goals. Alot of players drifted in and out during the game. Positive didnt play our best and won. Need real improvement for next week. McGuane needs to be dropped.

Meltdown when Tiges win by 5 goals
how we going? tl;dr the threads
-
I wonder if the Geelong version of OER went into meltdown when they only beat the dogs by 21 pts in round 5.
-
Do they have the internet in Geelong? :huh
-
So melbourne up and about vs us up and about is about a 5 goal difference stripes? If thats the case then we're well and truly stuffed. :rollin
We came out with zero intensity and let them grow in confidence and belief as a result. The only time we showed the required intensity was the first 15-20mins of the final qtr when we buried them. If we brought that from the beginning, we wouldve flogged them. - Mindset
We were the hunted and kept our game plan stable. They went almost purely defensive. It was always going to be a grind. In the first quarter they flooded our backline with every single one of their players. They made kicking goals for either team very difficult. They made sure that whatever the result it would not be a blow out.
We could have taken our opportunities in front of goal more but even that was difficult because they filled the space and forced us wide and up field.
If a team goes purely defensive and plays a hard lock down game of a combination of man on man across the field plus flood when we go into our F50, I don't care what team you are - you will not be able to score heavily.
Could our intensity have been higher - yes probably, I concede that point. If we have any chance of beating the Dons this Saturday we need to change our mindset like you say.

Tigers show poise under pressure
richmondfc.com.au
Monday, May 20, 2013
“It was always going to be a tough game. They’d been down for a while and they were always going to fight hard, and they did,” Daniel Jackson told ‘Roar Vision’ post-match.
“They brought it to us early and we just had to chip away . . .
“Look, I’m sure there are some frustrated fans . . . many people wanted us to win by 10 goals. But, in the end, I think you’ve got to respect any opposition.
“We did that, we chipped away and a six-goal win, and four points, is a good achievement . . .
“In the past, our young, inexperienced side probably would have panicked, lacked a bit of composure with the ball, and been yelling at each other. But it felt very calm out there. And, if we want to be a great side, that’s what we’ve got to do.
“We’re getting older, we’re learning, guys have played more games, we’re more mature, the leaders are stepping up, and it certainly felt like we were in control.”

I agree with the content if not necessarily the tone of the above. But I understand the frustration. We need to expect and demand more. We wouldn't have beaten too many teams on Sunday with this performance. The sad thing was, Hardwick built up Melbourne all week trying to protect himself if we lost. We went in trying not to lose the game rather than showing them the contempt they deserve and attacking. Unbelievable attitude considering who we were playing and the results showed. We weren't far off losing either. Melbourne were just that bad that they were incapable of winning.
Vickery playing on the third tall should be dominating. His opponents are always a head shorter than him yet he can't take a mark unless its lace out in front of him. Even then, he can't kick a goal. How many chances does one guy need to step up and deliver something. A few cheap kicks on the wing doesn't make up for this. Rance's disposal and decision making is horrifically predictable to watch. Foley, Edwards, Batchelor were terrible as well. Probably could add a few more to that list.
Was a very poor, defensive game against a side that will battle it out with the bulldogs and gws for the spoon. If we played like this against GCS, we would have lost.

Do they have the internet in Geelong? :huh
:lol :lol ;D ;D :lol :lol

Agree with missing Tuck and Concs atm. Foley is still a fair way off of his best. Need another hard head in the middle.

Apart from the melee fines (see melee thread), no suspensions from the MRP. Trengove's bump on Jack was cleared.
Contact between Melbourne's Jack Trengove and Richmond's Jack Riewoldt from the fourth quarter of Sunday's match was assessed. The ball was loose and Riewoldt was bending down to pick it up. As the Richmond player comes to the ball, Trengove comes from the side and slows as he approaches his opponent, before making contact with a bump. After viewing all available footage and receiving a medical report from the Richmond Football Club, it was the view of the panel the force used was below that required to constitute a reportable offence. No further action was taken.
