Any positives from last night's game?

I like the fact Bradley helbig is well up for fighting if he is started.

We didn't come to play like the Hawks did. Reminded me of the North game late last year where we turned up expecting to do well and treated it like a dry weather game. In other words we were a bit lazy 

Agree with that too.  Someone posted a couple of days ago about getting ahead of ourselves!

I guess this can give us hope of being competitive against Collingwood knowing that the players will be disappointed with their lack of desperation against the hawks

we had lots of positives but some are just to blind to see them

sure we butchered the ball, and got smashed on the score board but there was still alot to like from such a young team

vickery is progressing nicely
houli showed signs he will be good for us
grigg also
the young boys did well
foley is getting better
cotch is well cotch
grimes never got towelled by buddy, he held his own in nearly every one on one contest, many of his goals were not grimes' fault
we went inside 50 over 50 times, just didnt go inside properly
kingy

maybe that loss will be the turning point for us

houli showed signs he will be good for us

have to agree about Houli x, I thought he was very good - best game thus far

I was upset with the manner of the loss but after the event I have to agree with you. Yep a 10 goal loss is a 10 goal loss but under closer scrutiny I thought our kids did okay too and thought Hawthorn are a possible top 4 side and Grand Finalist and we as things stand are a bottom four side but we all knew that. So why the panic vitriol and anger? Lets compose ourselves and if in 12-18 months we are still getting flogged like this then we ask questions. It was only a month ago we lost to Adelaide in the NAB challenge and we heard the same thing about the same players as we are hearing now yet alot have conveniently forgotten our boys did okay in the first two rounds. We are talking about a team who is barely older and more experienced than Gold Coast. Take a deep breath boys.

Don't underestimate how poor Richmond was against Adelaide in the preseason game.

We were poorer on Saturday night than we were that day. Club lost more too being the first home game of the season also. Just a bad night all round from coaching staff down to the players. Write off and lets move on to the next game.

Exactly Tucker

2 days after the event I am calmer and can see some positives

But it was how we lost that got under my skin more than anything. I can deal with losses as long as we are competitive. But on Saturday night for the first half at least we got the bad Tigers - non competitive and it appeared lacking decent ticker

I think thats what gets under most our skins WP, being non competitive is not an option with this club now. Really the players have to show we have moved on from those days and unfortunately those days reared their ugly head again against the Hawks..

We not as bad as people think. We are lacking a couple of players who would add alot to the structure of the side. A player who can roam around chf and play high between 40 and 60 and a big key defender would help us alot IMHO.

[Tigermonk]

what about that griffo bloke at chf, popelord said he the man 

[10 FLAGS]

what about that griffo bloke at chf, popelord said he the man 

Maybe he is but at the moment he cant get on the field. I like Griffiths as a player but he aint playin Monky
