Richmond vs Gold Coast - Round 16, 2013

[Ruanaidh]

Don't think it was norths quickness that destroyed us ,but rather the level of their desire to win the ball

It was a bit of everything really, all round better than us, we looked very slow against them.

Fair call,agree

I think teams that have the intensity, the desire, the want will always look quicker than a team that is not switched on or showing the same

WP remember the last time you traveled interstate to see a team that had the word "Coast" in their name? Be confident about this one. 

I just came across a very interesting Nostradamus Quatrain....
"An Army of Yellow and Black with a fear of the 9th number will be soundly defeated in Battle by beasts with Long tails and really big feet. They will head north for solace and deliver retribution amongst the Coast of Riches. In this battle The Sun shall eclipse, and the army of the Coast will crumble in the notable absence of their great leader."

That's funny......but a Quattrain is four lines Tiga......get on to it  .

True tiga

But if I stick to the same routine this time (read nil confidence going into the game) then maybe the result will be the same

Thanks Ru. Fixed it up a bit now.....

"An Army of Yellow and Black with a fear of the 9th number will be soundly defeated in Battle by beasts with Long tails and really big feet.
 In search of financial Gain to soothe their wounds, They will head north for solace and deliver retribution amongst the Coast of Riches.
In this battle The Sun shall eclipse, and the army of the Coast will crumble in the notable absence of their great leader.
Victory will be sure and swift and they will return to the great land of the south to triumphant exultation's and the scribes will once again sing their praises."

From the AFL website...

Riewoldt said this Saturday evening's clash with Gold Coast in Cairns held no fears despite the Tigers losing to the Suns at Cazalys Stadium the last two times they've played there.
 
He said the group was "ready to attack and take the challenge", and a "hoodoo" wasn't a concern after they broke a nine-game losing streak against Carlton in round one.
 
He also admitted last week's 62-point loss to North Melbourne was a  "little bit of a wake-up call" but the Tigers couldn't ignore the positive inroads they'd made the four weeks previous.
 
"Unfortunately, it was one of those weeks where most our 22 that played didn't play their role," he said.
 
"We understand that and we know what we can fix.
 
"Not taking anything away from North Melbourne; they played some really good football and some that we really struggled to combat.
 
"Hopefully, next time we come up against a situation like that we can put some things in place to stop the flow.
 
"Last week was a little bit of a hiccup but we know we're still treading a pretty good path and we're taking some steps forward – last week was a little bit of a step back but we learn from it, we move on and we set our sights on the Gold Coast."

Gary Ablett is considered a strong chance to play Richmond on Saturday, but will need to prove his fitness at training during the week.

Training Thursday ?

[mightytiges]

No excuses  this week not to come out from the first bounce fired up and desperate to work hard for the contested footy, run hard for each other and when the Suns have the footy lift our tackling and defensive pressure. None of this it's all too hard bruise free footy we saw last week otherwise the Suns will hurt us on the spread in an open game like North did . Oh and of course actually kick straight between the two big sticks rather than 8.18  . Hopefully we've done some goalkicking practice this week as well.

Training Thursday ?

Friday up in Cairns.

Need to kick straight. Don't waste opportunities. Need to win the contested ball. Need increased intensity. In the backline need better coordination North last week got cheap goals from two of our players going for the ball at the same time and taking each other out. If we have the numbers one should stay down to collect crumbs. Need to keep forward line open. Give forwards as much space as possible. Need play like we did against West Coast. Need to win back respect.

Open game?? You've got to be kidding, right? North clogged up our forward line like a severe bout of constipation. The only time last week's game was ever open was on the rebound. As for the 8.18 scoreline, that was a direct result of having to take 90% of our shots from the boundary line, when continually confronted with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, and the cast of Quo Vadis every time we ventured into our forward fifty. Forgive the sarcasm, but Norf's tactics last week are still a very sore point with me. It's nearly a week later, and I'm still filled with an overwhelming desire to tap dance on Brad Scott's smarmy little skull.

[Rampstar]

we need a 4 quarter effort. we cant afford to lose this game.

[eliminator]

Doesn't look like Houli is going to play according to AFL website which is a blow.
