Richmond vs Geelong match thread

[Bull]

Andrew Jarman on SEN just said that Richmond have terrible leadership (we already know this) and that Richo should be captain.

Said Sugar was no good as captain and that he also believes that we have gone 5 years backwards.

in 05 everyone said the pies were finished because they came second last

where are those detractors now 

every year some club gets picked on, this year it is us, it is how they sell newspapers, and get ratings

jarman is right but wrong about richo! what kind of captain would richo be! crap!
today u may think he kicked 4 goals, wrong, 1 was a behind and the field umpire the goal umpire after the goal umpire already tapped his shoulder to signal a behind, the kick missed, richo was lucky, another goal , rich was awarded and it was touched on the line! richo lucky

but

scarlet ran off him, way to easy and egan even out muscled wimpy richo.  richo failed to chase and  man up scarlet atleast 4 or 5 times when scarlet decided to warm up and go 4 a run!

richo only works hard when it suits him, not the team! he is no captain!

we have no leaders

future leaders are foley connors riewoldt, but they will end up becoming sh it because they are being taught and influenced that way by sugar, joel richo and terry

we must , and i mean must delist and trade all players 25 yrs(but keep brown and snake) and above, trade newman and raines  and pee terry off and if ppl dont like it stiff sh it! time for rfc to finally stand up and be tough

terry richo sugar joel tiv tuck etc f em all away!

enough is stuffing enough!

Too many lazy footballers wear yellow and black these days. The cats ran us into the ground and played with an intensity and aggression that we have not had for 6 or 7 years.

Everytime the cats turned the football over they ran just as hard to support their defence as they did when they run forward of the footy when a teammate has the pill. Our blokes refuse to find an oponent on the rebound and for some reason refuse to run with the ball and run to support when we are in possesion.

Our kick orientated gameplan is very easily counted by dropping numbers back. Until we start taking some risks teams will continue to block the space for Richo and co. Look how the cats created space with hard running by drawing defenders to the ball carrier so they couldnt zone off in front of Johnson, Mooney etc.

Our fitness guy(if he still has a job next year) needs to work them harder than he has before to see if these guys have the cahones to become half decent gut runners. Because until we find some more of them then we'll be just making up the numbers for awhile yet.

Newman played on Steve Johnson - terrible game. still struggles against blokes with footy smarts

Hello people a news flash for ya - Kane Johnson was moved onto the Kid Selwood after he'd smashed us and Tuck in the first 2 quarters. Johnson did a very good stopping job on him in the 2nd half.

Thought there were some very promising signs - more on that later

Saw this bloke about to jump of the roof of the Hickey stand after Tiv had kicked our 1st 2 goals - we yelled "don't do it xXx". Then like lightening he was back amongst the crowd - when Tiv got knocked out by that coward Corey
