Best game of 2012?
« on: December 17, 2012, 03:27:20 AM »
The Herald-Sun today has our win over St Kilda as the 5th best game of 2012.


5. Richmond d St Kilda, Round 10
It wasn't all heartbreak for Richmond fans in 2012. The Tigers and Saints put on one of the most entertaining games of the season at a packed Etihad Stadium on a Friday night in June. The match produced 34 goals and more than 10 lead changes, including several in a rollicking last quarter as both sides grabbed the momentum only to have it ripped away again. The final say fittingly went to Jack Riewoldt, who booted his eighth goal of the match (his 100th AFL game) to seal a memorable Tiger victory.

we might have lost to wce but i reckon we played our best footy for the yr in that game.sort of puts into perspective when some of us have been saying you dont need to win to show you have improved a lot.

if we play that way for most of our games next yr and only win a handful it wont mean failure imo.
