Richmond V Port rnd 6

[Coach]

Titch was good when he came on.

Oh yeah, magnificent..

yeah really turned the game on its head with his pin point kicks and handballs.

really thought it was his breakout game today   

[Hellenic Tiger]

Titch was good when he came on.

Oh yeah, magnificent..

Port's last goal of the match was thanks to a turnover by Shane who ignored option 1,2 and 3 and lairised only to kick the ball meekly to the opposition which started the chain of events that led to Port's goal on the siren.

Moral to the story, whether Edwards plays 20 minutes or 120 minutes the errors in his game still stand out like a sore thumb.

Good win in those conditions, Tuck was awesome again 

Your boy Butcher got a bath today. Almost as much value as Griffiths IMHO.

Butcher is the next Kosi. Watts is even better.

Taking into account your differences with Monk, Butcher was awful today but the footy Butcher played in the last couple of games last year Princess Jacqueline has not been able to string together in four years at Melbourne. At least Butcher's psyche isn't shot at this stage as is Princess Jacqueline's.

By the way I'm with you Tony I thought Jack was awful today bar the last quarter. Took a few contested marks and looked dangerous in the last quarter. There has not been a game this year when he hasn't given away a free for trying to take make of the year. At least in the last quarter after Dimma took a few of our leaders aside at 3 quarter time Jack at least looked like a forward playing decent footy.

Bugger about the goal to them after the siren.

One decent qtr got us the win.

Considering we won 3 quaters , thtas a bit harsh MT !!!

No doubt taz if you gave me us winning 3 quarters on the scoreboard and a 37 point win at the start of the day I would've taken it so as the old saying goes a win is a win. Having said that, I was judging our performance on quality and my comment was based on us only playing one quarter that was top 4 standard. The other 3 were ordinary especially that rubbish 3rd qtr. The irony of today is we played far worse than the previous two weeks yet we won comfortably in the end.

[gerkin greg]

Tricky conditions, away from home, been up for a few weeks yet did it easy

Just enjoy it

Our season starts this week 

[mat073]

When you are 1-4 any win is a good win.
Not often we have a game "in the bag" at half time.

How about some facts.  The options were behind him so either poor voices or Shed needs eyes in the back of his head.  The pressure causes a partial smother.  The following play ends in a Boak point.  A point, not a goal. From the kick out, Batch drops a mark and the Houli punches the arms and gives away a free kick.

Fell alseep in the third quarter. Could have won by a significantly larger margin. A must win but not the greatest of wins. Sometimes you have to grind out results

i think the third quatrer was down to a combinationof things. Mainly that port lifted their work rate and intensity whil we played like it was simply going to be a continuation of the second quarter.

In the third port gave us very little time and space and continually got numbers to the contest, something vital in any game of footy, let alone one played in those conditions.

I also thought that we looked a little flat right from the start of the game,so to come away with a 6 goal win was a good result.

dont you just love the way one bloke gets singled out for one poor kick on a day that saw so many, as well as lots of fumbles and dropped marked?

[Francois Jackson]

thats not the point Al. He has been given ample opportunities over the last 6 years to string together half a dozen good solid games and has not.

He is a midfielder/HB Flanker is he not?

He plays the majority of games/minutes does he not?(not yesterday)

He fails time and time again to do something, anything given the minutes he spends on the ground does he not?

Im annoyed why? because we should be getting valuable minutes into players like Elton  and not persisting with time wasters like Edwards who rarely find the pill

Edwards should make way for Elton and Mcguane for Vickery. If we cop 1 or 2 injuries we are screwed so we dont blood any new players. Im glad we are letting Dea settle in the team. We need to know if they can play

Thats what happens when Pettifer, McMahon, Wallace, Hyde etc. get delisted.

no this isnt about anyone else on the list. Nor is this is about him yesterday. This is about him since the first day he has arrived at the club.

He was great a few years back in the last half dozen games of the year and everyone hoped he would go on, but he hasn't.

His spot on the list IMO is an absolute waste. Much better served getting game time into Elton and others.

IMO he seems a very timid footballer who seems afraid to hit the packs and the man
