Furthermore the filth have struggled to break down Hawthorn defensively under Clarkson and have not beaten them since 2005. I don't know how long Smith had been at Hawthorn since Clarko was coach but for me its a positive that Smith's defensive structures have stood up well despite the filths attack and midfield strength and has been unable to break it down and kick big scores against Hawthorn. :thumbsup

Another positive for us. :thumbsup

^ couldn't agree more - one of the most pleasing things of this preseason was watching us implement Smith's structures/plans & look like we could actually maintain them...can't stand the pee & poo hawks but gotta admit I don't mind us "modelling" a lot of our game plan on them through Hardwick, Smith etc....successful clubs are worth "imitating" & adding your own twist
...the fighting fury...

Tell me a side whose supporters will enjoy losing their first round match?

These questions are so farcical that it is embarrassing. Of course we will take it badly.  It has to be put into perspective though.  Carlton finished very close to the top four last year. We were nowhere near the top four.  We have made some list improvements and maturity is slowly coming to our young cubs.  No real supporter expects us to make top four.  Carlton has been tipped by some to be the premiers.  They have some injuries which will effect them and so the gap will be lowered from the last match we played with them.

So you see, if we lose we will be upset like any true supporter would be.  That is very different than us tipping manure at the door step of the club.  If we lose by over 100 points though......you never know what will happen.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

The media first buildith you up and then the same media knockith you down  :whistle. The Herald-Sun online  had a one-word answer for each club's round 1 performance and no surprise they wrote "Richmond: predictable"
