Non-Richmond games 2010

[mightytiges]

I didn't see all of it but it looked a pretty good game of footy between the Cats and Bombers. At least for 3 quarters. I still question Knighters' all-frontrunning gameplan. Looks very dangerous when they are on top during a game but the Bombers ran out of puff halfway through the 2nd quarter again against a top side. Geelong saw Essendon were tiring and just went into overdrive and blew the Bombers away. It didn't help that Neagle, Gumby and Williams did sweet stuff all. Sheesh Neagle is a spud  .

Yeah the Dons don't have the fitness to run that gameplan out but they are quick enough to play it and watching last night I can see how they flogged us at Morwell.  Simply a more polished unit.  Dons will be better this year than I thought but will still just be a team making up the numbers and I don't see where their improvement to be a premiership contender comes from.

Watched the game in detail.
Like the way the bombers play.
Wish we would play that way..
Geelong are probably a 15 goal better team than us.
Essendon a 10 goal.
Hopefully we dont have to play either too soon

[tigersalive]

Wow.  Melbourne. 

[mightytiges]

Well if we didn't know who the two bottom sides will be we do now. Dees 6 goals down at 1/4 time and were held goal-less. Brad Green knocked out as well.

LOL Garry Lyon on MMM still saying the Hawks aren't a 6 goal better side than his beloved Dees  

[tiger101]

saying hawks arent a 6 goal better side then the dee's is one of the worst calls.
i wonder if hutchy will bring it up on good call or bad call this week haha.

I know that a lot of opposition supporters (and some of the black and white fools judging from some around me the other day) don't rate Dale Thomas, but after seeing him live for the first time I'd say that a lot of our boys could take a leaf out of his book on hard hard he worked to create space from the kick ins and getting to the contest around the ground.

The courage shown by the young fella (can't think of his name at the moment) to spoil Hall and earn 6 stitches in his head...pity he is in playing for the skunks.

What Collingwood youngsters?

They're one of the oldest sides in the comp. Their side on the weekend was on average 3 years older and played over twice as many games per player than Richmond's was. They had only two players under 22 years old.

Malthouse has topped up for a final tilt at a flag in his last two remaining years. If it fails then it's no skin off Mick's nose as Bucks will be left the mess when there's a mass retirement of experienced players in 2-3 years time.

[Hellenic Tiger]

The bulk of Collingwood's list can still play on post Malthouse coaching tenure.
The Pies can cover players of the ilk of Presti O'Bree and Lockyer who are their oldest as at Pieland they are a dime a dozen and there is always a player of similar ability to take their place. Thing with the Pies is they are very even and most do their job as instructed.
