This has become a loooong thread now.  I wonder if a mid year draft would have helped us?

Though at least Petterd actually got us a couple of quick centre clearances by doing the unthinkable ....kicking it rather than handballing it  ;D

Actually thought Petterd did well when he was up forward. At least he actually puts some defensive pressure and gave 2nd and 3rd efforts. Strange occurrence in our forward line in season 2014

Petterd was nowhere near our worst today and as you say WP, his 2nd and 3rd efforts in our forward line were conspicuous by the complete absence of any others.

Not a direct criticism at Pettard, more the fact that Arnott is an inside mid he replaced Thomas an inside mid and yet was almost exclusively played as a defensive fwd, which is ironically probably Pettards best position

Agree with you there on both counts

Agreed. Petterd was ok and usually is despite what people say but stuff me, it's fairly basic stuff. Hardwick either overthinks or just doesn't think at all.

Hardwick isnt going to be Richmonds next Premiership Coach. He knew how to get the team of the bottom of the ladder and get them to middle rung status at best, he is a middle rung coach. Not for us. Next

Robbo on Miles ...

8. Anthony Miles.

Seriously, how did Miles not get a game for so long
? In his five games with the Tigers, he has returned 19, 30, 28, 27 and 24 disposals and not laid under four tackles a game. In a season of lost hope, Miles is giving Tigers fans some joy.
