Richmond vs Collingwood

[Eat_em_Alive]

We were out coached today.. They did their homework and we had no answer.  They wanted it much more

I'm not going to blame the coaching today, I reckon the players were the guilty ones, starting with the leadership group.  They dropped off in intensity, in application, in discipline and in heart, and they all need to put their ego's back in their lockers and concentrate on pride.

  Smokey on the ball, ive calmed down now.... go fix it next  week tigers

This too

I don't know if there are any other Inner Sanctum members here who attended the pre-match brief by Dimma.   It is fair to say the players did everything but what the game plan was in that 3rd quarter!  Atrocious, as improved as we may be, still some way to go in handling (and dishing out) the consistent pressure.

I am and I did and you are correct.

20 minutes of hell, where they didnt play to plan and game set and match folks

See them in September I say!!!!!!'

Choking down another bitter pill.  I hate the skunks and that stuffing stupid looking cave man throw back, Cloke, and his dented dna.

I had to listen to Garry Lyon on the radio, literally giggling his way through the third quarter. He was relishing our pain. I wont forget it.

sok, the sun finds a way to shine on a black dogs ar-se for now.  It will make their failures all that much sweeter to gloat at as they will inevitably come.

[Hellenic Tiger]

I thought when the game was there for the taking in the first quarter and we had the chance after the we kicked the first two goals we were like rabbits in the headlights. Even our elites like Lids and Cotch butchered the ball a few times and when Collingwood turned up the heat we were just not able to go with them.

I have had enough of Grigg and Houli no right foot and both boys just can't use it. No point having Grigg run to the right sport and then gives it up with helicopters to the opposition or up and unders or handbills to guys who are hot or miss easy shots on the run from 30.

As for Houli..... Footsteps footsteps footsteps.

I wonder how many  flavour of the month RFC articles will be in the rags this week or whether the drummers will be back when the team runs out against Geelong.

RFC take note play footy get the players to concentrate on the footy no more interviews and and this and that and media friendliness. Just play footy boys. Embrace the pressure rather than bringing it on and then the genuine breakthrough win will come.

first off thanks heaps to the well wishers, pity the
boys couldn't sort out the party pies today, but we live
to fight another day...


well I must admit, I'm  normally rabid at the game but today
I finally realised the sun will come up tomorrow.

first half wasteful, didn't take our opportunities.

3rd quarter as soon as donkey  got onto a few they
went into their shells, disappointing to see but to me
not unexpected, we just aren't quite there yet.

last quarter back to 22 points tells me the boys had the fight
but not the ammo today...

what happened to our much vaunted midfield, got spanked.

no wholesale changes, some have credits.

we safely assume the boys understand the plan, or did the pies not let the boys
play to the plan WP?

one quarter was all it took from where I sat.

[Francois Jackson]

Thought Dimma was out coached today and made some poor mistakes.

1. Chaplain onto Cloke earlier.
2. Cloke 1 on 1. Vickers doesn't do anything else why didn't he get back the in the 3rd quarter
3.  Petterd as the loose man. Don't  want to see this again.
Harry O was causing us so much damage until Jackson was moved onto him yet we had to deal with a stagnate Pettered.

On Grigg...

He is a dime a dozen footballer. What he brings to the table is nothing more than say anyone else could.

no right foot. It can be argued if he has a left one also.

No pressure acts. Not good overhead.

I hope Vlast can take his spot and send him back to Coburg.

I thought Ramps was spot on. Our list with the likes of Bacha, Grigg, Petterd will get us to bottom reaches of the 8 at best. We need more quality.

Lets be really honest as supporters - do any of us really believe in our hearts that Grigg, Houli, Petterd, Aaron Edwards, Chris Knights et al can take us anywhere beyond say 7th or 8th. We were deadset in the basement, Hartley has done a good job but the players brought to the club only have the capability of getting us out of the basement and to 7th or 8th at best. How can we win a flag with our list? Newman is getting on, Jackson is improved but? Morris is slowly being worked out by opposition clubs, Maric is our only ruckman, We dont have a monster back to take on the monster forwards. We need more class in the middle.

If we finish with 12 wins or 7th or 8th Id be doing handstands because thats the quality of our list. We need better players, we need better development and our coaches need to improve. Getting in players like Aaron Edwards, Stephenson, Knights, Petterd etc. that aint going to get us anywhere down the track because as we top up Collingwood and clubs like Collingwood are finding kids like Jamie Elliott and thats where you become a great club, by getting in quality kids developing them and making them stars. Just my opinion.
