Hardwick just worked out another 3 or 4 who cant play and that he can get rid of them at years end with the knowledge that there not going to come back and haunt us!

I wouldn't say positives, but 'things to learn'

Massive amount of work to do:

* Think about the system rather than the scoreboard. Jack our only road to goal without another tall. Lets think about other ways for the rest of the season.
* We lack size still. Even second year maggots are nuggety (Blair)
* Rucks learning the blocking rules
* Hard-running is everything. Few of our blokes found wanting this week and last. How do you explain COllingwood having 3 free in the forward 50 with one tiger?
* Defensive organization? Who are our leaders down there normally and why were things so ordinary today?
* As far as the draft goes, we are miles off in raw class and being down a handful of top-liners showed that. We just have to take best-available talent again. Our midfield stocks ar still short on depth and losing Cousins who has been one of our better players this week and last will present a gap that needs to be filled.

x 2.

Plus, it got shown to our players first hand what real pressure on the ball carrier looks like.

Positives:

Today proved even with a purple patch we still need a clean out.
Nahas, Polo, Simmonds, McMahon, Thompson, Polak wont be at the club next year.

More games to determine the future of:
Morton, Rance, Post - All will prob survive the cull but would want to put in a decent performance


- Astbury I thought played quiet well
- Cousins had a fine game
- Rance has improved


It made it obvious how much we need another tall forward but also how much we missed Foley, Cotchin and Jackson as we were smashed in the midfield..
Go Tigers!

Morton, Rance & Astbury were our best for the day
Cousins was very good also

Polo's papers are stamped, please just drop him, in fact take him out the back and put him down

I  counted Rance kicking the ball to the opposition 4 times today that resulted in GOALS.
11 of Collingwoods goals were direct from our turnovers, what game do you people watch :banghead

Well Rance had 23 disposals at 87% efficiency, 11 marks, 2 tackles and one 1 clanger which I think was that dropped mark
Perhaps you should get some prescription glasses

His efficiency rate means he had only 3 disposals in the whole game that didn't go directly to his teammate, if they went straight to an opponent they would have registered as clangers, so I think you're telling porkies.

Mate, I would know more about football than you would know on your little finger, Rance isnt up to it.
Everyone he played on kicked goals on him.
Pointless arguing with idiots like you infamy.

Martin played well in big game against a good mid-field in top form. great experience for him and the other young richmond players today.

So rather than try to debate my argument on its merits you just crack the sads and claim you're the smartest man in football so we should just accept what you say when everything suggest you are talking our of your ass

Every player in our side had goals kicked on him today. Considering this was Rance's first game back at AFL level since Round 9 when he was playing as a forward. To come in and play like he did today was a credit to him, so shove it up your ass you arrogant wanker

After I was sucked in with a few good wins and wanted to see more, we've had a couple of reality checks and really do need pick 4.

And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do

Hey Infamy
Polo had 19 possesions , you would think he played good too?
HE WAS HOPELESS.
Get a life you tosser, and change you signature while your at it.
