Richmond vs Port - Round 23

[Coach]

A result that will soon be forgotten but...

Cotch gets three more votes towards the Brownlow, Jack gets the Coleman, Newman makes way for the next generation and we get a draft pick two higher than what a win would have given us.

 

Stuff off

[Francois Jackson]

Boys it's 1 pick as Dons will choose danniher with father/son.

Nonetheless we are higher than the blues so let's hope we draft someone they want and bend em over

[TigerLand]

Daniel Jackdon another horrible game....

[Muscles]

Lids goes missing in games bigtime for us.When were up and running looks good ,but when we need him to step up goes missing in action and leaves it to Cotchin and co etc.We played one good quarter.Lacked effort at times and teamwork and still way to many skill errors from senior players mind you.Power players had way to much space.

I thought Lids was seriously MIA too Georgies.

Only in the first round, methinks Daniel.  Not in the draft rounds after that.

10.5 wins was an improvement on last season but its a fail overall. Todays effort means Hardwick has a decent message to give over the summer months. That is that todays effort and all the other efforts that resulted in small losses is just a complete and utter FAILURE! We need better players.

[Muscles]

Really obvious today that Ivan couldn't jump.  Killed at the centre bounces.

We know its pathetic. The coach knows we failed. The club knows they failed as do all the players.
But so many think this year has been a success. 

No excuses! We should be playing finals. Not good enough.
End of story.
Today was another pathetic effort.
Absolutely peeweak.

Two down due to injury early (one being Martin), some may think we battled manfully.
Oops, sorry. Sounds like an excuse (aka mitigating circumstances).

Can undersatand we had to intiate sub early due to helbig coming off 1/2. Quarter and dusty going off with hammy resulting in 2 rotating on bench. But jees we really lacked in intensity in most quarters and composure when it counted.

Some happy with draft picks? Only disguises their dissapointment in the game and season really

I for one wanted to see them win, if anything but to achieve a 50/50 win/loss ratio to show not only have they improved but closing gap.

What I witnessed today was a team like that of the dreamteam team that failed to get up for their skipper in his 200th then and his final game as captain today. That in itself reflects poorly on the team.

Fwiw jackson was crap today, has been OK lately but today was poor.
Post lack confindence and mongrel
And others go missing when it counts, can't blame the juniors like ohanlon just yet

Couldn't track an elephant in the snow with a nose bleed 

[Stripes]

Best result we have have hoped for in retrospect -

1) Jack gets the Coleman
2) Cotch gets full votes (a loss would have typically meant votes to Ports best player)
3) We don't jump up the ladder above Essendon and Carlton.

Didn't stop me feeling disappointed at the end of the game but hey, I'm a glass half full kinda guy!
