Richmond vs Carlton - round 1, 2013

cotchin or deledio ... someone needs to respond.

Still the same old same old.Left to too few and when they are covered we are 2nd rate.
Must admit my man Ivan had a shocking last qtr.
But 4 pts is 4pts i guess.

I thought we were good for 1 1/2 quarters and we were diabolical for the first 15 minutes of the game and the last half. Every club in the comp will fancy their chances against us even if we are well infront. We still need 1 or 2 superstars to become a decent outfit.

FINALLY!  Geez they are cutting my life short with these hair raising games1
Carlton had nothing to lose in the last, they took all the tags off and went all out attack, they nearly pulled it off but it didn't work.

We have a few nervous nellies thats for sure.Griffiths i'm afraid just hasn't got it at AFL level as a backman.Time for the coaching staff to send him back to coburg as a foward before his confidence is totally shot.Morris for all is guts has been found out with this new sliding rule and has not much to compensate for it.Rance still attacks the ball at 100mph when at times he should just wait.Conca i'm not sure what he brings to the table to be honest while Ellis is abit in the same boat.Big positive was Vickery,s game and the continued good form of Edwards.Dimma will happy we got away with the 4pts but we still have a way to go really.

Relief ...had to turn the tv off for the final 3minutes.

so happy to see richo interviewing cotch when I finally had the guts to turn the telly back on.

I better check the mirror, I think I might be as grey as Mick Malthouse after that.

Our best is breathtaking, but they tired badly. More match fitness and a few hopefully easier games in the next couple weeks will see us turn those half time leads into 15 goal wins.

The forward line was good, it worked well. Griffiths... he's lucky Hampson can't kick. Batch was good, he is a 'real' game performer, he looks ordinary during pre-season but can step it up in the regular season. Nahas, didn't look like he wanted to come on and played like it.

Vickery was a massive positive. Great game.

And McGuane  match winner and played a half decent game.

Go, just got home from the game, we were stuffed in the end, just tired....glad for a win... Great game we loved it!

the likes of Ellis and Conca and even (Vlastuin who didnt play today) are not superstars but they are important because they provide the substance as foot soldiers. For me, we need to see the likes of Petterd and Vlastuin come into the team.

I don't care what anyone says at the club. The plan that has Cotchin kicking out in clutch situations is BS. He should always be at the foot of a kick-out. Where was Deledio and Newman in that last quarter????? In those final centre bounces we had Eddo and Jacko in the guts?????Well done Dusty and others including Luke and Jacko. Ellis was soft tonight. He had better harden up or Flossy will take his spot.

Yarran, Betts and Garlett sliced us up once we tired badly. I didn't even know Garlett was playing until the 4th quarter.

We need some indigenous players

bunnies always whingers. The win was very important - stop whining Sheila bunnies - they will learn and grow in confidence from that win. Go to the ladies, sit down and think about it
