Chin up McWAT

Carrazzo to miss the start of the season through injury as well according to Ch 7 news tonight.
-
According to the RFC Membership dept. everyone is going to need a reserved seat to get into this game.
Please note: We would highly recommend that you consider upgrading to a reserved seat, via Ticketek, for the Round 2 game v Carlton, as a capacity crowd is expected.
-
Already got one. :clapping
-
Both sides coming off round 1 losses so the loser of this game will end up 0-2.
Andrew Walker has been offered a week by the MRP so if he doesn't successfully challenge it, he'll miss our game.

Have inner sanctum members any pull on having Vickery and Grigg hone their skills in the VFL? They need to take out a petition!
For me:
Out: Vickery, Grigg, Newman (he is still favouring the jarred knee)
In: Elton, A. Edwards, Lloyd or Gordon
-
Surprised Walker only got offered one week after his hit on Hoff and the Monfries sling.
I'd have given him 3 but I may be biased...

It’s Redemption Round in the AFL and Richmond and Carlton have the most at stake
Mark Robinson
Herald Sun
March 24, 2014 6:20PM
IT’S Redemption Round — and Richmond is up against it more than any club.
North Melbourne will be playing for pride, ditto the Bulldogs, and Collingwood faces Sydney in Sydney, the loser of which will be heavily scrutinised, if that’s possible after the caning the Magpies took after succumbing to Fremantle in the season-opener.
Still, it’s Tigers v Blues on Thursday night and not only are both teams searching for redemption, the Tigers are doing it against a genuine bogey side.
The Blues have won 11 of the past 12 matches against their most hated foe.
That is more than a bogey: That is choking.
And hatred is not an embellishment.
Richmond hates Carlton and Carlton hates Richmond and that’s the way it is.
It’s not a matter of motivation for the Tigers, but their Round 21 match-up last year, which Carlton won by 10 points, cost them a top-four position.
They would’ve played Hawthorn in the first week of finals, a team they have beaten by 62 and 41 points in their past two meetings.
What-if is a game played by losers and the Tigers still kick themselves.
Statistics don’t really tell the story as to why and how the Tigers are Carlton’s lapdogs.
Tackling was an issue for half a decade, mainly because the Tigers thought it wasn’t an important aspect of the game. It has improved, but in the past three matches the Tigers have still lost the count 67-59, 81-65 and 49-40.
Not for the first time, it is tackle or weep for the yellow and black.
Those same three meetings have exposed the Tigers in finals quarters,
They are frightening collapses which points the finger at both players and coaching staff.
In Round 1 last year, the Tigers led by 42 points midway through the third quarter and hung on by four points, mainly because Carlton’s Chris Yarran missed two goals in the final quarter.
In Round 21 last year, The Tigers led by six goals at quarter-time, and the Blues kicked seven goals to four after half-time to win by 10 points.
In the elimination final, the Tigers led by six goals one stage and lost by 20 points, on the back of Chris Judd’s brilliance.
For lack of science and statistics, Carlton’s game plan reads like rope-a-dope.
Certainly, Blues coach Mick Malthouse has a trigger up his sleeve. If the margin is 30 points or below at three-quarter-time, the Tigers are gettable.
They’ll crack, he’ll say.
It is a ripper backdrop to what should be the genuine start to the 2014 season.

So true. There are sliding door moments and that loss to the Blues in round 21 was as big a missed opportunity as you'll see.
It matters not that Richmond has beaten the Grand finalists the past 2 seasons when you can't get the job done against fellow also rans.
Time for the Tigers to make a statement of intention that we are the real deal, otherwise ever increasingly hard questions will keep getting asked..
Huge game on Thursday for the club.
-
The only statement I will accept is a thumping
-
That rivalry video on the club website just makes me angry. Haven't been able to watch the whole thing. Hate watching happy Carlton flogs on the RFC site.
-
We better play good style hard running football & beat them Thursday night or l be real peeed off
-
We better play good style hard running football & beat them Thursday night or l be real peeed off
Always been a firm believer that a few running goals can get the momentum going better than the stop start pass inside 50, mark, setup then goal. We did that way too much in the final instead of having a ping from 50 which can get the crowd and team buzzing, like the scum did to us in the second half :banghead
-
I'm getting pumped for Thursday, don't let me down boys
-
As a supporter I deserve nothing less than a win.

Preview: Richmond v Carlton

Expect this match to have an extra edge after last year's elimination final and the teams' winless starts to 2014
The match that traditionally opened the season between 2007-13 has finally arrived and it will have an extra edge after last year's elimination final. A bumper crowd is expected at the MCG as both teams look to respond to poor round one performances. Richmond fell to Gold Coast by 18 points at Metricon Stadium in round one, wasting the ball going inside 50 and missing chances. This week the use of key forward Jack Riewoldt will be under the microscope after a lack of entries were directed to the dual Coleman medallist against the Suns. Carlton wasted a 22-point lead against Port Adelaide and was overrun in its season opener, eventually going down by 33 points at Etihad Stadium. Coach Mick Malthouse has complained of a lack of match hardness from a host of Blues who had interrupted pre-seasons.
WHERE AND WHEN: MCG, Thursday March 27, 7.45pm
LAST FIVE TIMES
1EF, 2013, Carlton 18.8 (116) d Richmond 14.12 (96) at the MCG
R21, 2013, Carlton 16.10 (106) d Richmond 14.12 (96) at the MCG
R1, 2013, Richmond 14.22 (106) d Carlton 14.17 (101) at the MCG
R18, 2012, Carlton 14.11 (95) d Richmond 13.13 (91) at the MCG
R1, 2012, Carlton 18.17 (125) d Richmond 12.9 (81) at the MCG
THE SIX POINTS
1. It was two wins to one in 2013 between the Tigers and Blues with Carlton winning twice, including a come from behind 20-point victory in the first elimination final in front of 94,690 at the MCG.
2. Despite losing to Gold Coast in round one, Richmond had 406 disposals, ranking it third. Carlton struggled with just 310, leaving them second last.
3. Carlton has dominated Richmond in recent seasons, winning 11 of the last 12 contests including nine straight wins in 2008-12.
4. One thing in the Blues' favour in round one was marks inside 50. They took 15, ranking them second, while Richmond took just seven.
5. In 2013 at the MCG Richmond was impressive, winning nine of 14 matches while Carlton’s results were mixed with four wins and five losses.
6. In round 19 last season, Jack Riewoldt was ranked No.48 in the AFL Official Player Ratings. He ended the season ranked No.57 but slipped to No.68 after the Tigers' season-opener against Gold Coast. The highest ranked Carlton player is Chris Judd (No.23 overall).
Prediction: Richmond by 12 points

If we win it will be a character building win. A four quarter effort is vital. Last year we switched off twice against them and paid the price. They will come at us hard. It is time for a team performance. Would Conca etc to really lift for game

Livinia told me last night it's going to be the wettest day of the year so far on Thursday.

With rain forecast it will be interesting to see what Malthouse uses as plan b given that plan a would seem to consist of loading their forward line with talls

This game build up reeks of the buildup last year when we were thumped by the Roos'. Actually as it gets closer my optimism is going down. I am not sure if we will win this game... :-\

Will win by 105 points

Let's hope Dimma and the rest of them get it right in the box to cause Mick always pulls Dimmas pants down on match day with tactics.Sometimes I wonder why Choco isni't Dimmas right hand man in the box with the experience and success he has had.

Im predicting a loss. Really bloody hope we win but I just dont think we have the mental strength.

Expecting the tiges to choke again :(
Hope I'm wrong :gotigers

Will tune in after half time to see if we can stop their comeback

Future focus: Tigers to ignore Carlton blues
Jennifer Phelan
afl.com.au
March 26, 2014 3:05 PM
RICHMOND'S players won't draw on past disappointments as a spur when they lock horns with bogey side Carlton on Thursday night in the MCG's opening match of the season.
The Tigers, who have a dismal record against the Blues, including one win from the past 12 head to heads and their shattering 20-point loss in last year's elimination final, have focused on looking forward this pre-season.
After healing the wounds from their lost finals opportunity, the club's first since 2001, the players returned from their off-season break with renewed motivation and dedication.
Former captain Chris Newman says they won't look back when preparing for Thursday night's game and are ready to fight the Blues for their first win for the season after losing to Gold Coast two weeks ago.
"It's been well documented about how disappointing it was to lose that final, but in terms of the emotional side of the game this week, we're just focused on playing Carlton in 2014," Newman told AFL.com.au this week.
"The past is past.
"For a lot of the boys it took a little bit of time to get over it in the off-season, but from day one when we stepped into the door we were ready to go and put the past behind us."
Newman said the Tigers were expecting nothing short of a tough game from the Blues, who are also searching for their opening win of the season after losing to Port Adelaide in the first week of round one.
He also said he was enjoying the rejuvenating challenge of playing across half-forward in a move spurred by the emergence of half-backs Nick Vlastuin and Matt McDonough.
"It's something I haven't experienced before, but I've been enjoying it," Newman said.
"It's that half-forward role with the flexibility to go back.
"There's no doubt I'll be on the back flank at times and go through the midfield at times, so I'll have to be fairly flexible as most players do these days.
"It's something that I enjoy and hopefully I can turn that into some results."

Tigers use Shaun Hampson's Blues’ intelligence

March 27, 2014
“We spent some time over summer getting some information out of him,” Hardwick said.
There weren’t many shining lights last week, but there was definitely an advantage with him – his dominance out of the ruck – and we’ve just got to start to use him around the ground.

I hope that's at least some acknowledgement by Hardwick that Hamspud doesn't pull his weight around the ground and it needs addressing.

Grigg bombing it in twice. Hit a target !!!

We just don't feel comfortable in front, want to continually keep them in the game by gifting them goals, be ruthless for Geez sake!!!

Going ok, pressure great, Martin brilliant but I am not getting excited... :gotigers

we were all over em, but with 5 mins to go we just take the foot off the gas and go into damage control?? This is what brings them back into the game, they get a sniff and just launch. stuffing bury them!

-
If this were a top 5 side we would be down by a bit. A lot of fumbling.
But it's not. If we win, the season begins and at this point of the season that is all that matters.
Good half of football Tiggers, 4 qtrs.
-
I won't relax until we are 10 goals up with 5 min to go
-
Does anyone keep stats on goals conceded in the last 3 minutes of quarters? We would have to lead by miles. This game has deja vu written all over it. Will need to be leading by 100 at three quarter time for me to be confident of winning. Way too much fumbling and in direct football in the latter part of that half. Goals win games so keep attacking, its like we get gun shy.
-
I'm still really nervous about the outcome of this. I have this bad feeling the majority of the team will have the ceebs in the 3rd quarter and then the game is beyond salvaging. Wasn't particularly impressed with Griffith dropping easy grabs but am actually very surprised that TV is competitive.
Really don't want the Tigers to be conceding goals in the dying minutes of quarters as lozza has mentioned.
-
Ellis has been good. Reckon Astbury has been ok too. I'm developing a man crush on Nick Vlaustuin
Surely to god we don't lose this game ? I'm toey as f***
-
I won't relax until we are 10 goals up with 5 min to go
Yeah, I'm the same.
I hate havin the same old feeling of we're not going to hang on to win, simply because that's the way it's been for the past 30 years.
I can't wait til we know we have it by half time and know we have the talent to make sure of the win.
-
Newman also looks a lot better in defence. Need to put the clamps on Yarran. We need to be able to stop small forwards!
-
Dont turn to water tiges you EFFERS
-
Very un-Cotchin like to drop that. Knew that would cost us :(
-
Need a 5 goal lead at 3/4 time.

Cheap effing dickie goals to Carlton 1 after the other
And again

I have a bad feeling about this......

Its happening....again

Leaders in shells

Keep your effing feet.
Leaders in shells

LEADERS IN SHELLS
-
LEADERS IN THEIR SHELLS

If Eddie Betts was still playing for the Blues we'd be so far behind.
-
LEADERS IN THEIR SHELLS >:(
-
We're stuffed. We are legitimately stuffed.
-
Really could've been punished in the last 5 minutes. Luck has really swung in favour of the Tigers. They pretty much spent all their luck and really need to lift and win the game on merit in the final quarter.
-
WHERE THE eff IS THE LEADERSHIP IN THEIR SHELLS THATS WHERE
-
FFS, we are pathetic....Conca who?
-
Settle fellas, we still up ;D
-
Are we fit FFS, no run at all, they tag Delidio and he is out the game yet Yarran can't be touched, WTF is going on out there.
-
I shelved an itcher and its been nothing but irritation since 5.30 >:(
As for the game, I dont like it and I have the right to say it >:(
-
Its happening again. Ran us off their feet towards the end of that qtr. Lids looked so good in the first qtr, he really needs to man up and get on top of everitt. Our leaders have gone to water... again.
Get the ball to reiwoldt, he looks on tonight, best Ive seen him in a while looks dangerous everytime he goes near it. get around him boys
-
Lost a bit of composure in the last six minutes of that quarter. Lots of hack kicks to no one in particular.
As Dooks has been yelling, where are our leaders and what are they doing??
Grimes - missing
Chaplin - missing
Lids - missing
Cotch - well, at least he is in there
-
Ffs let Carlton be 0 and 2 not us
-
Griffiths has been good
-
Pathetic stuffing rabble
-
Weak weak weak weak
-
Getting schooled WHERE THE EFF ARE LIDS COTCH AND THE LEADERS
-
Vlastuin looks most composed out there.
-
Man up u stupid idiots!!!
Win or lose it's the same poo
Gutless
-
Why is it so easy for the Blues to find a target?
-
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRK
-
DUMB FOOTBALL NEVER TO ADVANTAGE
-
Gutless, deep down they don't trust each other
-
So over the mental weakness of this team. Not only that but the selection of the team itself. Anyone else reckon this is the worse team we have fielded for a while ? We won't get any better under hardwick.
-
Not fit enough
Carlton players got 10 Metres on us all the time
No discipline enough to play man on man
-
THOMAS!!!!
-
Edwards was way too cute with the ball use. Very very lucky
-
We're too scared to win
We hope we can win with an arsey tinarse goal like that
-
Matt Thomas and Griffiths did all the right things to save our skins there. Expected more from Deledio and Cotchin in the 4th quarter. FFS Petterd was the one who went in with the spoil!
-
thank stuff for that
-
Feeling stupid lads?

Feeling stupid lads?
Are you stupid for asking that?
Yeah we won great, but it was same ol same ol, thy were all over us! and guess what next time we play those idiots they will still know just like w will that thy have our measure.
Feeling stupid ful off

That was something we lacked the last few years, being able to steady and win.
Well done Tiges.
:gotigers :gotigers :thumbsup :thumbsup :gotigers :gotigers :cheers :cheers :gotigers
-
A lucky, and mostly hollow win.
Missed opportunities (gimmies) to Carlton saved us more than we saved ourselves. And yet we look chuffed with ourselves
Stuff off
-
How does someone like Dylan Buckley get so much footy in his 2nd AFL game? Thought our Dylan looked like a deer in the headlights out there tonight. Nonetheless, I'm happy with the 4 points. Will need to beat the Dogs convincingly if we're going to make it in the top 8

You're a idiot, win or lose it was the same poo, got nothing to do with result ch, it's the process or lack thereof. But sweep it under the carpet like a good little lemming and have a sook later in the year when we capitulate again in big games.

One other thing, the umpiring was stuffing disgraceful.

What a bunch of softy, limp wristed, sissyters!!!!
Played for the jumper.......

Who was that little bald number 11 for Carlton? I don't think his green guernsey was regulation and should be looked at.
-
Why the stuff are you all bagging you're own team, you either don't get it or are just too young and stoopid to understand what happens in football.
Two years ago, we would've lost a game like that. Probably last years as well.
Teams have come back at teams for decades now, it's what makes our game so fantastic, and if you bag your own team because they won and it doesn't matter in what capacity they won, you're a figgin idiot and RICHMOND certainly doesn't want dumb arse supporters like that..
Clowns.

The manner of the victory was not convincing
-
Exactly, we didn't learn anything, we were lucky to pluck a few in the end from good fortune not by good design, therein is the problem, we should be growing as a side, but on tonight's second half showing we're not simple as that. Anyhow that's all I'll say on it now as some can't handle it.
Positives
Ben Griffiths, really stood up after he dropped a sitter early and took some big marks
Astbury did a better job on Waite than I can remember any richmond backman has in the past.
Ellis's job on that cat Gibbs
Jack and Vickery looking a lot more potent, we look better with Jack playing deeper for longer.
Grimes looked good 1st half, faded but will be better for the run
Love Flossy
Thomas!
Pettards best game for us, well done
And king makes a difference! I don't care what anyone says there's something intangible he brings to our side
-
Ugly.
Deficient.
-
We were lucky and it was a car crash in slow motion. But really the ladder doesn't reflect that. We have 4 points in the bank and in a few weeks, provided we win some more games, nobody will give a toss.

Yes its a win. You are right.
But Because I'm sick of softy, limp wristed, poofter, pretenders!
The whole team would need to improve a hell of a lot to expect to play finals again this year.
We could've buried them! And we didn't! We let the back in it AGAIN.
Expectations need to be raised.
The bar has to be lifted.
Demands must be made.
You can be happy with near enough, or close enough or nearly there. But I won't be happy until we are holding the Cup high.
I don't think the club would be or should be happy with that game either.
-
Half way through that last qtr I was channeling Lloyd Bridges ' looks like I picked the wrong week to give up sniffin glue '
Geez it's ride barracking for the tiges.
Thought we were outcoached badly in the second half tonite. Malthouse swung the changes...again. Dimma had no answers...again.
Anyhows ,we won !
Positives for mine were Ellis back in some form. He flogged Gibbs. Griffiths played his best game for the club. Great mark at the end and Petterd ( can't believe I'm saying this ) had a good last qtr and Astbury was solid.
-
4 points!
Stuffin enjoy it. This game was always going to be stuffed. Lets see how the season pans out before calling for heads.
-
The season is just starting,teams will be hot and cold.I remember kevin sheedy once said,that the cream doesn't rise until about round 7.lets judge the tiges then
-
One major deficiency I think the game highlighted is our lack of pace around the ground. At times in that second half our players were run around like they were witches hats. We really need to inject some speed into the squad. Even Lids at times looked slow and he is portrayed as an elite athlete but at the same time just can't seem to break a tag. Hopefully our fade out is related to the split round and we need the regular week in week out schedule to maintain our intensity and run for a full game...Just trying to see the glass as half full :)
-
how many tackles did our captain make??????????????
0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..................
-
A win is a win even if it is ugly.
-
Astbury was fantastic, he has finally developed the body to match the big guns and was too good for Waite tonight, I'm sure people noticed that Waite snuck his only goal on Grimes when Astbury was having a breather. Why was Astbury even having a rotation? It's not like Waite was taking him on a half marathon richo or roo style. Astbury has come on in leaps and bounds. I would go as far as saying that you include Astbury and Rance as the top 2 kpd and let Grimes and Chaplin fight it out for the 3rd 'tall' defender spot. In reality it will be out of Grimes or Astbury to make way for Rance but it would be criminal to drop Astbury after a game like that.
Chaplin was awful, if as a defender you are having a bad kicking night, then you should either handball it off or run with it, he seems reluctant to do either, and probably hasn't got enough pace to try it anyhow. The other extremely frustrating thing about his game tonight was his ridiculous air dive in the last which left him on our HFF, then, when we stole the ball back and booted it back to the HFF that Chaplin was still on, he refused to lead into the 20 metres of space in front of him to butter up for the pee tackle 'attempt'. An absolute shocker of a game.
Now with Petterd and his air dives. I don't think anyone would have expected him to catch Chris Yarran but what you do expect is a genuine effort to chase because you never know pressure can do funny things to people. But to just dive after 15 metres of the chase, twice, on centre stage, well it just speaks for itself really.
Petterd and Grigg might have chalked up some big stats tonight, but I thought both of them were ordinary. Between them they had 15 inside 50's. IMV these are the last 2 that you want dominating our inside 50 stats with their pathetic up and under lollipop kicks. We need our gun players topping our I50 stats, Dusty only had 3 tonight, same with Lids, we need way better delivery more frequently from our stars.
I just had to get that off my chest before saying I really enjoyed the win, really, I did. :clapping
-
Cotchin tried hard.
Deledio taken out of the game again. Pity.
Martin might never be a four-quarter player. Should play mid/deep forward.
Conca looked rusty.
Ellis/Vlas good.
Shedwards' pace was appreciated against a quick team.
Hampster definitely a required pickup. Was solid.
Astbury/Griff played great IMO. Should persist with these boys.
Thomas - sorely needed in the absence of Jackson and Tuck. 11 tackles says it all. Required player for me.
Jack needs to be FF. You pay a dude 3/4 of a million and play him as a second or third tall. Laughable.
Vickery beaten regularly. Four goals was flattering. Needs to be stronger.
King finished IMO.
Newman should be a defender only, or drop.
Morris beaten but should bounce back.
-
It feels good to beat the scum. :clapping A win is a win & they tried everything in the book to beat us including having the umpires wipe their ass all night. l'm so happy with the win :gotigers
-
Cant believe the supporters in here having a grizzle about the game. WE WON enjoy it you retards
:gotigers
-
I don't know if I can go on boys! HELP :pray
-
;D some of you need to attend the game instead of bashing your keyboard l mean bagging you club like that. You aint supporters carrying on like that. Grow the stuff up
-
Hampson does well with his limitations.
Endeavour is good.
Thomas. Bigger balls than lids.
Lids. Dumb as dog poo.
Ellis. Good first half. Where'd he go?
Conca. Does nothing. Weak link.
Newman. Never been as good as they say.
Foley. Over.
Vicky sue. Kicked 4 and was the standout forward but his stuff ups surely stem from autism.
Martin. Hardwick has NFI how to utilise this bloke. Has him in the fwd square in the last two minutes when the game is being fought in the Carlton fwd line. FMD.
GRIFF. In the best
Cotch. Normal.
Houli. Passenger.
Jack. Nice pack mark.
Edwards. Handy.
Grigg. Meh.
Petard. Was good in the last few minutes. Ha.
Morris. Always gets caned by little fast blokes. Not that skilful in hindsight.

Sounds like sour grapes to me :wallywink. Always wondered who you actually supported. Now I know. It's Carlton ! Haha ! suck it up champ. Your mob lost ! Not good enough.
Also for those bagging Morris. Grimes was on Yarran in the third qtr when he ran amok.
after watching the replay just now I gotta say that Matt Thomas was pivotal in the those last frantic minutes. Good stuff !
Go Tiges !
-
Petterd and Grigg might have chalked up some big stats tonight, but I thought both of them were ordinary.
Grigg was ok early. went missing. Petterd was good in the second half. He'll rightly be named in the best players.
-
This win will hide a hell of alot from many Richmond supporters. You know the ones...probably 1-2 generations off the back of a donkey and still coming to grips with rudimentary tools.
Ill take the 4pts especially against Carlton but gee whiz.
When the heat is on we turn to absolute water. We don't run hard enough. Our leaders dont lead and go missing with almost no capacity to bring themselves into the game.
Downhill skiers.
Lids tagged out. Cotch tagged out. Agree with the comments that Foley and Newman appear finished.
Most of the kids fall in behind this and follow the example set.
11 of our players laid either 0 or 1 tackle for the entire match. :banghead
Thomas laid 20% of our entire teams tackles. Wheres the defensive pressure support?
Fitness appears to be poor.
Our coach has no real plan b apart from minor adjustments and tinkering to plan A.
On the plus side loved Thomas and Griffs game.
Cant see us improving on last year. This might be as good as it gets before we slide backwards in the next few years.
-
It's just like watching the same old horror movie. " Comeback on Elm Street ".

Who was that little bald number 11 for Carlton? I don't think his green guernsey was regulation and should be looked at.
:lol :clapping
FFS the Carlton fans had the nerve to blame the umps where I was sitting. Stupid stuffs. Flipped 'em the bird after the Dusty goal. All can go EAD.
I had those sweaty pigs all over me all night. Try some deodorant you dirty scumbags. Dusty saved my arse though and I had 2 clear rows to myself. Big Duzzy :clapping
-
The Bad:
Surprise surprpise Grigg was ok when we were flying and a hand-waving passenger (with the occasional cameo to drop an easy mark)when we were being run down ...and even when he was ok his crap delivery into the forward cost us chances at goals - as it does every match. Racking up ineffectual possessions, the bloke is just useless - can't believe he's still a walk up start every week.
Another fine disappearing act from Deledio - getting taken out of it by third talls now ffs- Spider Everitt's special needs kid brother no less. Getting to the point we need to send a tagger to his tagger. Either way needs to go back to HBF, not always, but definitely when we're under siege. Morris can be his satellite.
Speaking of Morris - didn't we get him to shut down small forwards? 'nuff said. Too excitable, over commits , over runs the loose ball, willy nilly with his disposal. Deceptively slow too. Upgrade required soon.
Hamspud - popped up for important marks near the end (followed up by nothing kicks to no-one in particular) but before that nowhere to bee seen around the ground - just no presence whatsoever. Is he really as athletic as everyone says? Often doesn't look it at all. As for his much-vaunted ruck work - like last week was on top early before getting toweled up at the business half. Best thing he did was take Grigg out and even then he didn't do that properly , the useless prick got up again. Ex-Carlton conspiracy? Hmmm....
Edwards - the most frustrating player on our list , this was another one his classic "threatening" almost but not quite games. Body too fast for his mind - his nickname is missing the letter w. He'd be like Peter Matera if the game was played at 80's pace. The closest we can come to replicate those conditions for him is to make him the sub. Should have more of an impact than Foley at least.
Conca - starting to worry me. Pick 6 looking massive overs at this stage. A handful of awesome bullet passes a year does not a gun make. Turns it over, lacks composure, handballs too hard, isn't clean enough (Though this is a team-wide problem),ineffective tackler, gives away frees. Stats may say otherwise, I dunno, but he doesn't even seem to winning as many contests either these days.
Houli - soft, panic merchant, it's either him or Grigg - we can't afford both - I pick Houli.... just. Preferably in Grigg's role - at least he can kick well - sometimes.
Foley & Newman - lost your fork Hardwick? How much more evidence do you need, they're practically charcoal ffs.
The ok:
Petterd - I'm not as harsh on him as most are, but he was horrible for three quarters, good when it mattered and I suppose that's what matters. Got better as the side got worse. If nothing else you can't accuse him of being a downhill skier.
Grimes - solid if not spectacular , he didn't quite give us the rebound Rance would have, but he didn't have the brain fades that Rance would have either and of course he generally keeps his feet. I'll no doubt cop poo from fanboys of our most overrated player - but I dare say we might have even lost had Rance been out there in the last quarter in that situation instead if Grimes. Some might suggest the flipside is that Rance may have provided the run we needed when Carlton had us trapped in our defensive 50 - well to that I'd say it didn't really help us much the last three times we played them.
Riewoldt - better tonight, played deeper for the most part, smart play & criminally underrated work rate as usual - overall nothing to really bag nor write home about though, which is probably not good enough for a player of his quality.
Chaplin - solid down back as usual (last week notwithstanding) but maybe it was my imagination but from where I was sitting he seemed like he barely touched the ball in the last quarter - and it was down his end for most of it.
The Good:
Griffiths - have to keep playing him - at least he can take a mark - contested ones even. Took the most important mark of the match. Like to see him use that big boot more often - hasn't used it yet this year. Maybe he could still be a swingman? Yeah...nah....
Cotchin - quite extraordinary to see people bagging tonight's effort, particularly over at the other place (It's quite extraordinary most of the times people go after him -usually on the basis of his field kicking and he should be bagged because others cop it fot their turnovers - yeah well there's a simple & valid reason they should and he shouldn't and if you really watch Cotchin & understand football or life in general for that matter, you won't need to have it explained to you.) Basically - he ain't there tonight we lose.... in fact he ain't there Carlton are probably in front by 3/4 time and eventually winning by 50+. Partly because we were never would've be up by 37 in the first place.
Ellis - kicked two and kept Gibbs quiet in the first half - did nothing in attack in the second but still kept Gibbs quiet. (one late arse goal doesn't count - would be like saying Edwards had a good game because of his early goal)
Vlastuin - another impressive display of smarts & composure beyond his years from the Voss Twin. Everything the side as a whole has lacked for 30 years he has in spades. Gun.
Martin - like Deledio - but for different reasons - we need about four of him.
King - yeah he's clearly coming down the other side but he still has more presence in his figernail than the likes of Mr. Megan Gayle has in his whole body. Seemed to get under Murphy's skin and I don't think it's any coincidence Murphy started to have even more of an influence after King was subbed. Still life in the old toy dog yet...though no more than 10 more games worth if the club is smart.
Vickery - good on ya son - now give us a season's worth of that if it's not too much trouble.
Thomas - yeah he was great - disposal by foot has been surprisingly good, work rate and physicallity, which has never been his issue, can't be faulted - 11 tackles, say no more.....well, no more except to add the caveat that he is also lucky umpires aren't exactly red hot on HTB so far this year.
Astbury - probably his best game in defence so far. He's slow, but solid & assured and did as decent a job on Waite as anyone at Richmond has over the years. A bit more pace around him and his own lack of it wouldn't be as much of a problem.
Summary:
We won because Carlton missed easy shots and then ran out of legs themselves. They know they still have our measure and we should know it too. Muhammad Ali Malthouse certainly has Foreman Hardwick's. Apparently Hardwick was all smiles and bouncing around after the match - he really shouldn't be, nor should the players be after the adrenalin wears off. Any of the top teams would've absolutely slaughtered us tonight.
We still have fitness issues and don't run hard enough. Tackling is still pathetic for the most part. Players clearly lack confidence in themselves and each other when under pressure. We lose contests and mauls more due to panic, poor skills and lack of awareness. in close than lack of effort. There's a distinct lack of cool heads. Too few clean, one-touch players. Some say we should keep attacking but I say we play at the wrong tempos at the wrong time. Too many players lack football nouse and game sense. We generally get killed in the air. Hardwick and the team seem to both stop dead in unison -too often it seems Hardwick is content to let the side live or die by the gameplan as if it still needs to be ingrained - which if it is is an indictment on all involved. Also, IMO we don't use the corridor enough and as others have pointed out, kick too often the pockets.
ATM, there are two easy ways to beat us - the North slingshot method or just play 1-on-1. Hardwick needs to start training for 1-on-1 situations( can't believe there's a coach at any level that doesn't) he needs to more proactive & ruthless with his selections and a bit less cute with his positions. We're still carrying too many weak links.
Like to see Arnot and Gordon get starts. Really wish we'd upgraded Banfumbles. Pace and decent crumbers are sorely needed. Miles would've be better than Foley too. Edwards & hopefully Elton need to keep pressure on Vickery and Vickery needs to know it.
-
We won and that's all that matters
;D
-
The Good: Griffiths played his best game for the club. His marking was outstanding. Astbury played his best game for the club. Was solid all night. Grimes played well as did Thomas. Martin's game was very good and his goal in the last quarter is why I am so glad he stayed at Richmond. Hardwick got it right in playing Jack mainly nearer goals and got it right playing Martin up forward particularly 2nd half. For not many possessions Jack played a good game.
The bad: Should have never let them back into the game. Went into shell. Became scared and chocked under pressure. Got to learn to continue to play attacking football under pressure. Senior players went missing in the second half. Didn't lead by example.
Need Improvement: Hampson needs to do more around the ground. Morris didn't play well last night. Needs to get back to his best.
-
I think we are lacking a lot of speed. I would say our fastest player is Deledio and he never gets to run with it. Losing mat White has hurt us, need to acquire someone similar ( maybe miles or banfield ?
-
We won and that's all that matters
;D
Amen. A lot of mental hurdles are overcome with every win against the Blues.
Lots of room for improvement but for now it's on to next week.
-
Thing that stood as it always does when the opposition gets a "run-on" against us is our lack of leadership.
They went missing (again) which frustrated me no end. And when I speak of leaders I am not just talking about those who called leaders as in those in the leadership group. I am also talking about the experienced blokes like Grigg (disappeared in the 2nd half), Houli, Newman and Foley (he's a major worry ATM)
Though I don't think Dimma helped matters by having Cotchin coming in off the wing late in the 3rd and early in the 4th at centre bounces. If anyone can explain that tactic to me I'd greatly appreciate it :P
Though Newman was a lot better down back but he still wasn't great.
More annoyed with Vickery after last night. As I posted on another thread, that should be the norm re effort etc. Not his standard "cameo" of a good week and then disappearing for the next 6...
Was really pleased for Griffiths - looked like an AFL footballer last night. Please persist with him RFC. Don't make him the scapegoat when big Ivan comes back :pray
But as I said earlier... we won, we have the 4 points and that's all that matters
-
One major deficiency I think the game highlighted is our lack of pace around the ground. At times in that second half our players were run around like they were witches hats. We really need to inject some speed into the squad. Even Lids at times looked slow and he is portrayed as an elite athlete but at the same time just can't seem to break a tag. Hopefully our fade out is related to the split round and we need the regular week in week out schedule to maintain our intensity and run for a full game...Just trying to see the glass as half full :)
there is a lot of truth in this post. we lack speed and pace. the likes of newman and foley and afew others are to slow for the game now. we were terrific in the first half and we were disgraceful in the second half. the coach needs to work on plan b if he is to become a premiership coach because we are a long way of it just at the moment.
-
Chaplin was awful, if as a defender you are having a bad kicking night, then you should either handball it off or run with it, he seems reluctant to do either, and probably hasn't got enough pace to try it anyhow. The other extremely frustrating thing about his game tonight was his ridiculous air dive in the last which left him on our HFF, then, when we stole the ball back and booted it back to the HFF that Chaplin was still on, he refused to lead into the 20 metres of space in front of him to butter up for the pee tackle 'attempt'. An absolute shocker of a game.
Also, I thought he was meant to be a good intercept mark... dropped everything that came near him.
Shocking game

SMFO SCUM :cheers
Q: Do finals start next week? If so, we're stuffed :clapping
-
We won and that's all that matters
;D
Amen. A lot of mental hurdles are overcome with every win against the Blues.
Lots of room for improvement but for now it's on to next week.
this one has the potential to end this poo. Round 1 last year we got lucky when the siren went. Last night we steadied the ship.

Missing Maric, Rance, Jackson, Knights from best 22
450 games of experience, #1 ruck, #1 defender, B&F winner, and probably our best medium forward missing
and we only just lost
-
Looked slippery out there. I was actually surprised at how hot/humid it was.
Worked up a sweat in that last quarter (i think most people were) and was in jeans and a tee.
Looking at the players too, you'd be fooled into thinking it was a wet game. Griff looked he had just gotten out of the shower most of the night.
The amount of fumbles and dropped marks really stood out too.
We probably should have been the more prepared side in these conditions after playing in humid conditions in RD 1.
either way, so friggen happy to beat the scum! :gotigers

They were also missing Walker and Judd whom was the catalyst which tore us a new one last year. That being said though I don't think Judd would push himself to the same limit for just 4 points.
That being said very happy with the 4 points. In the 2nd half when we did manage to get possession I did notice a lack of spread which was probably fatigue. Not that Newman had elite kicking yesterday night but I found it interesting (and frustrating) that when he had ball in hand he would stand still and wait for a target to appear.
My biggest major concern is that considering how much time the ball spend in our D50 Grimes only had 4 possessions and laid 1 tackle. I know he's been out of it for long but if you can't get your hands on the ball tackle?
Second major concern is Foley. I didn't think his ball use was that bad and his quick hands for the final rebound 50 which resulted in the Martin goal was good but the fact he has virtually no leg speed makes him kinda redundant as a sub. Kane Lucas didn't exactly tear us up but he did provide a good injection of pace for overlap football. For me the original trademark of what made Foley an asset is his gut running. Without that I don't know if he can actually offer the team anything in the H&A season let alone finals

One major deficiency I think the game highlighted is our lack of pace around the ground. At times in that second half our players were run around like they were witches hats.
I reckon we had pace in abundance in the first half but as we tired we slowed down heaps. Hopefully the training program is geared to having us reach peak fitness in about 2-3 more weeks, otherwise we are going to struggle to keep up.

Missing Maric, Rance, Jackson, Knights from best 22
450 games of experience, #1 ruck, #1 defender, B&F winner, and probably our best medium forward missing
and we only just lost
:lol
Carlton were missing Kreuzer & wait for it...
...Watson. Like woah look out. :shh
They were also missing Walker and Judd whom was the catalyst which tore us a new one last year. That being said though I don't think Judd would push himself to the same limit for just 4 points.

The fact they rely on Judd at 30 shows the world of hurt they will be in soon. In fact Walker is just about the same age I think.

Ok just watched the replay....tv coverage didn't really tell me anything new that being there didn't.....it rarely does....stand by everything I said except maybe that Chaplin was a lot worse than I thought and Morris was marginally better than I thought...but still not that great.....
-
I remember in the not so recent past that Carlton used to give us an annual flogging.
There was the humiliation that kicked off season 2009.
There was a 90 point loss the following season.
And there was 100 point thumping in 2011.
Now it seems our biggest threat when playing Carlton is ourselves.
Take any win against the blues and run.

Watched the replay & thought we did a good job last night. see more at the game but the players that we kept quite last night was a huge credit to the team & coach. Good signs overall. They were desperate & the umpiring overall was shocking for both clubs. our pressure caused them fatigue which resulted in many mistakes just like they have done to us in the past.
The Result. We came out on top no matter what the margin :gotigers

i watched the game to h/t and then turned it off. you could see late in the second q what was going to happen, seriously thought we would get rolled.
had to watch a replay today and im still scratching my head how we won that game. did not deserve it. what has changed from last yr where have we improved. if the first two weeks are anything to go by we have gone backwards.
we lost at stoppages, we lost at clearances, we lost the i/50 count, we lost c/p count, and we were out tackled, to top it all of we conceded 15 marks inside 50 how the hell did carlton not win this game.
the usual suspects went missing again as soon as it became a contested game. we have to be the biggest bunch of down hill skiers going around. look great when its on our terms but have no answer at all when it gets tough.
-
Are you serious claw. Genuine question.
Some sides match up well to us and we match up well to others. We struggle vs the Blues. Fact.
Imagine what the Hawks fans must post after we've pulled their pants down the past couple of years ::)
We struggle against Carlton but we are slowly getting over that.
Okay, we fell over the line and did poop our dacks in that last qtr but we fought back well in the last 10 minutes of the game.

Take the 4 points run and don't look back.
Thankfully we don't play them again. :-\

This is freakishly awesome.
If you look carefully nobody knew it was even comin in their direction.
Everybody must have lost sight of the ball, waiting for it to come through on the other side of the goal posts.
This just goes to show how absolutely shockin the kick was.
Really reminds, of some of steve kernahans kicks for goal many years ago.

Agree with you Angus, Kingy won't be dropped. Will play next week. A Dimma favourite guarantees it ;D
Short preseason because all his surgeries, lacks match fitness hence why he was subbed

Don't get me wrong, I want him to play next week and for the rest of the year.
He is awesome to watch and one of my fav players.
Maybe, as you say, if it's just because of lack match fitness, he may just play next week. Let's hope he does.

Nah man, trollings for wimps and pussies.
I grew up watching footy in the 70's, back when there was a bit biffo at least 20 times a quarter, back in the time when, "when it was on, everybody was in on havin a blue".
These days it's all about talent blah blah blah.
Mark my words, Kingy is goin to kill someone before his career is over, so the more he plays, the greater the chance we're goin to see a ripper of a brawl. I also reckon he'll even do something on a dare from his bikie buddies.
Bring it on Kingy, ya little madman :thumbsup

Just reading about Lewis and his staging, what about Waite faking a kick in the face.
Plus the dirty tossbag got away with holding onto Dusty for a minute without the ball

Lets not forgot that weak pricks reverse kick into Mcguanes balls in 2011 opening game. Would love to use the pipe cutter on his knee caps :shh

Petterd 6? That would have been a 4 from Dimma and a 2 from Mic. Why? The break down….
Dimma Mick
Ellis 5 5
Yarran 3 4
Petterd 4 2
Everitt 0 3
Thomas 2 0
Cotchin 1 0
Murphy 0 1
I think that is the most likely scenario….

It is not surprising that Everitt got votes. Lids in the fourth quarter was dropping marks he would normally take and had no impact at all in the second half.

In all fairness to Lids he copped a kick to his achilles early in the 2nd quarter and played mainly forward after that, essentially to provide a contest (keep a defender busy) in the forwardline. Hardwick admitted that by the last quarter he was pretty sore and had to be anchored down there as he couldn't run. I'm willing to bet that's the real reason he went quiet after quarter time, much more so than anything Everitt did. And explains why Everitt was able to run forward so easily to kick 2 goals.

Yep, he was struggling big time when coming onto the ground from the bench in the last half. Brave effort to play the game out when he was clearly hampered by the lower leg.

He's durable is Lids. Hopefully is recovered after the 9 day break.

Was unaware he was injured. That certainly would explain why he was so quiet in the second half.

Bugger.
Bloody carlscumbags, made me break my awesome Tiger flag AGAIN!
Now I gotta buy a bigger better piece of wood to put my flag on.
Maybe a piece of metal rod, Hmmmm may get holes in floor and windows and walls, better stick to wood.
But I gotta get a bloody piece that won't friggin break.

Fair enough saying our leaders didn't stand up for most of the last qtr until the end. However, comparing them to St Kilda - oh please! It's one thing playing bottom 4 sides Melbourne and GWS at Etihad. Let's see how Nick and St Kilda's leaders go this week playing the Eagles in Perth.

Our leaders may not have stood up in the last quarter, but last I checked it is a team orientated sport.
A passage of play that went about 16 minutes in the last quarter, starting at about the 13 min mark. Saw ONLY 3 direct passes to an uncontested player, not including a couple of handballs. Every other kick in that time period were bombs to large packs of players.
This was the total opposite of the first 3 quarters and was why carlton came back or as they were coming back the bombing started. Basically ALL the players panicked and lost sight of the structure that got them that far.
Yeah, the big guns ran out of juice for a bit, but so did everybody else.
When the Tigers settled, we went on to win the game, all in all still great composure from the Tigers to pull that off.
As I have said before, that would not have happened last year.

Totally agree about the way we played through that period but was it a directive of our coach to try and slow the play down and cause a lot of stoppages? (throw ins or ball ups)
Remember this was Dimma's game plan for our forward line not so long ago.
If it wasn't, why wouldn't a message have come out to the players to tell them to move? They train pretty much all year, surely they can run for two hours?? Even if it's not at 100% the whole time.
And if it was just our players being lazy, why not come out and say it!
Cannot help but think it was a coaching move. And not a real bright one.
