Richmond vs Gold Coast - Round 16, 2013

[Judge Roughneck]

seriously that was not the performance of a top 8 side. 

Funny that. I could have sworn we were sixth! 

5th...

[eliminator]

The win on the weekend was our lowest winning score since Round 3, 1995 when we beat Hawthorn at a rain-soaked Waverley Park.

Will never forget that match. Duncan Kellaway missed from directly in front.

I think I was there or I'm thinking of another game when Benny gale took a match saving mark in the back line

We won by kicking 4 goals that day and it was shocking weather

That was most games Daniel.
I remember playing Collingwood in a low scoring game on a Friday night in 1997 when Benny took 4 or 5 marks in the last few minutes on the members win to save/win a game for us. I think we won by a goal that night. Was the week after we lost to Melbourne when Neale Balme was sacked.

Got carried off that night did Benny. I think he took another match saver with one contact lens missing, maybe against the dogs?

in 1994 Benny took a match saving mark against the dogs.

No love for the biscuit? Taking out Thompson was the turning point of the match! He even kicked a goal into the breeze!

Gold Coast complaining about Morris going low for the ball against Ablett ....



Gold Coast coach Guy McKenna wary of rivals sliding into star Gary Ablett

WAS this a deliberate tactic or just a missed free kick?

The Suns are questioning whether illegal sliding tactics are being deliberately employed against superstar Gary Ablett.

Ablett was bowled over by Tigers defender Steve Morris in the third quarter of Saturday night's nine-point loss in Cairns.

The Courier-Mail contacted the Suns after hearing of their concerns.

An official confirmed coach Guy McKenna's protective instincts have been heightened after recent video review sessions.

It is understood Suns officials are wary a trend may develop where opposition choose to slide into Ablett and take his legs out from under him when they have the option of staying on their feet in contests.

McKenna intends to raise his concerns with AFL umpires official Rowan Saunders and will closely monitor contests in coming weeks to see there is a deliberate tactic emerging.

TV commentators Dermott Brereton and Danny Frawley drew attention to the incident, which occurred after a boundary throw-in.

Both expressed surprise a free kick wasn't awarded against Morris for sliding.

"That is the epitome of it, that is a classic,'' Brereton said.

Ablett also appealed for a free kick to the umpires.

There is no sign of malice in the incident and it could be the desperate act of a player with inferior skills paying absolute respect to one of the great ball players in the contest.

Morris appears to arrive at the ball first and could have restricted Ablett from taking clean possession or even won the ball himself had he stayed on his feet.

Or it could be the act of a desperate player paying no respect to a seagull

I know, I nearly choked on my breakfast reading that.  Up here they think the sun shines out of Ablett's bum.  But who really cares about the opinion of some wannabe journalist.

Campbell Brown proving once again he's a tool. He said after their game tonight that last week the Suns were the better side and they gifted us the points. Sour grapes Browny  .

Looking at what happens when you leave Ablett to his own devices this week (lazy 49 possession and 2 goals), to keep Ablett to in the 20's possessions last week was amazing. Just proves further how clever the planning by our coaches were and how fantastic Jackson's efforts were. 

Also puts into perspective our win too

Agree, Claw could you go post on some Pies forums how crap they are

only saw parts of the game but what i did see i was appalled. seriously that was not the performance of a top 8 side.  yeah i know the conditions were terrible but they didnt account for the way we went.
maybe i need to sit down and watch the whole game but i cant bring myself to do it it was horrible to watch,

Wish we played as well as Collingwood did against the suns.
