Not just the tackling but the one percenters such as shepherds tap ons smothers etc have been so refreshing and part of the on field resurgence we have come to admire.

Cuz is setting the standard here. Win the ball, give it off, protect the ball carrier. Haven't seen this from a Richmond team for years.

Collins was unbelievable in the last quarter. Should knock him out at the start of every match now.

Regardless of the result, I am especially excited about the way we went about our footy today and over the last 5 weeks for that matter. Our team structures, attack on the ball and fight is the stuff that binds teams together and makes them quality teams in the future. If we can just grab a few more talented youngsters to add to the mix to replace retirees and weak links, I think we have the makings of a premiership team here.  :gotigers

While I would prefer to finish down the bottom this year, I never want us to stop fighting and playing in the manner we are at present. Love to see Gourdis, Hicks and Browne trialled in this structure and environment too for the future.

Loved the game today  :cheers

Best win since 2001.

We had some good wins in 05 when Browny was on fire....But this beats them all.

lol at all the pro tankers jumping ship.

Can't have your cake and eat it too Stripes.  That's what the pro-tankers just don't get - the importance of learning and knowing how to win, how to do the little things that make the difference in games, the things that have set the Sydney and Geelongs apart over the years - the winning 'culture'.  You might not like the term 'culture' but it means no compromises, no shortcuts, no second bests from everyone involved - the players, the coaches, the boot studders.  You can't have that and tank, and you can't tank and form winning cultures.

 A very good win. To come back and beat a side that has had the wood on us is a great result. Newman was outstanding. Edwards and Cousins did some fantastic work when it counted. Jack and Collins were very good. For me the most pleasing aspect was that it was a team effort. THe tackling was very good. Important not to get carried away a long way to go but the future is looking brighter.

I haven't looked at his stats but I thought it was Mitch Farmer's best game for us yesterday - I'm starting to see some real potential there.

Still needs a bit more work than most, but couldn't fault his last quarter yesterday, stood up when he had to.

lol at all the pro tankers jumping ship.

lol at the Pro Rawlings for coach jumping ship. goes both ways pal.

i would still prefer to finish near the bottom than 9th or 10th but if we produce results against "quality"  like yesterday then im all for it.
