happy with the win but again lets not forget its Adelaide and now we could drop from to a late teen draft pick.

In a weak draft where it thins out from pick 10 i cant see the benefit in beating Adelaide i really cant.

we also won games late the last few seasons and what good did it do us.

Brackets is right you blokes are in denial. we beat Adelaide and its round 23.

where was that fighting spirit when it counted.

Too many hard questions Daniel. Hopefully it'll be different this time. Late wins in the past have killed us. Anyway whatever happens happens. Hopefully we still get at least 1 good kid in the draft but now even that looks difficult.

We need to be bold and trade out a 2nd tier player for another high pick. I'd rather have pick 10 but winning form may up the trade value of some of our 2nd tier. Jacko, Edwards, King, and Nahas all played well today after half-time. Holding onto them all will lead to a repeat of history.

The idfference is the nature of the wins.

after going through a form slump, which when your base is not that high sends you to the depths...we have turned it around and won a game in which we were challenged.

So lets put it into some sort of perspective.

How long since Richmond have had a team able to win such a game?

Under wallace we were a team that if we got on top could hurt, but when the going got tough we crawled up in the foetal position.

Once the opponents got a few quick goals the floodgates would open, regardless of who they were.

This win showed spirit and we didnt crack like a Leigh Mathews' egg when we were 4 goals down.

Also interesting to note the players reaction when the siren went.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

Edwards work in traffic today was simply brilliant at times. Didnt get a lot of wide ball which is probably why he had a good game.  :P

if we lost you would all be crying.
Instead you'll look for positives in beating a crap team and completely forget how poo they played in the first half and how they stoppped in the last when they thought they had it won.
Ominous signs.....again

Lucky there's something for you to whinge about - I can imagine your life would be incomplete otherwise

better than pretending ::)

In a compromised draft its hard to say about late season wins. I see the points for and against this year. I can see Adel beating Port in Bickley's first game.
I still think the Dogs will beat Freo and the Princesses can still beat Port next week so potentially we can still finish 13th assuming we lose to North.
Personally I loved the way we won today. 20 scoring shots to 4 at a venue and against a side that has put us to the sword over the years....
Whatever will be will be. Yep where was this effort in July and against Port and Gold Coast so I can understand how some people feel hollow about these late season wins but I think we have shown some good signs and maturity and maybe just maybe there may be more upside than we bargained for. Time will tell. Although I believe come round 1 next year against the Cheats we may not ein but we certainly won't be where we were at the corresponding time three years prior list wise.

nothing to do with him.

More to do with enjoying finishing the season,beating crap sides.

Why did we drop away against a crap team like Adelaide ??

We still have to find a ruckman among many others things.

Punt road needs to get militant in training and conditioning for next year,not to mention dropping guys from the list.

Pretty crap season in the big picture.

No-one is deluded Ox, except those who think there is an instant fix for a developing team.  They are a developing team and they are developing just nicely thanks.  They are not crumbling under pressure when the game is close like it was today.  Adelaide were on a streak.  Some of the favorite whipping boys had corkers like Edwards, he was terrific today.
