The Richmond haters in the media are lapping this up.

Damien Barrett on the Sunday Footy Show said this is another Richmond false dawn as, aside from Carlton which we just got over, we haven't beaten anyone other than the bottom sides - St K, Dogs, Port and the Dees.

Lloyd said if we lose this week against the Eagles then we would be better off not making the finals as we can't compete with the top sides.

Problem isnt what they said - the problem is what they have said is true. I smelt this failure coming on a while ago when I put up a thread about the rebuild having been a failure.

Exactly, were beaten by 3 arguably better teams and lost by a point to a great side where it could've gone either way.
Was hoping we would win last night aqnd possibly lose to west coke and be sitting 6-4.... I would have been content with that. Now last night has thrown a spanner in the works and Monday nights game is Do or Die  :fencing

We couldn't even give the Dees a thumping. I'm expecting a similar wasted opportunity against GWS & Gold Coast, that's if we can actually beat them this time.
If we don't beat them this time we will continue to be laughed at as we already are but it will just be a lot more hysterical than it already is.

We have now lost to the Pies, Cats and Bombers on the "big stage" and in hindsight  should of lost to the Blues, who by the way are travelling better than us. Honestly we would be an embarrassment to the finals and we don't deserve to be there. We need to finish 15th or lower...

WE DON'T DESERVE TO PLAY FINALS!!!!!!!!
If we win enough games we deserve it, period ::)

its not about deserving it. its about being good enough and we have never been good enough.

we have gone away from the rebuild that had to continue to chasing our tails with hacks again.

the sooner we go with something like

b/morris - chaplin - grimes
hb/ mcintosh - astbury - dea
c/ ellis - tuck - deledio
hf/ s edwards - riewoldt - a edwards/petterd
f/ martin - griffiths - elton
r maric - cotchin - foley
int/ conca - newman - vlastuin - houli
emg arnot- helbig -
name the poor kicks and poor decision makers in that lot theres few but theres lots of promise height size and good skills.

its time to phase out the battlers who time and time again have shown they are not good enough to take us forward.who fail every single time theres a bit of pressure on to perform.
please no more nahas, mcguane, white, king, jackson, grigg, lonergan lol, make blokes like vickery earn their spot by performing the role we need em to perform at coburg.no more rance and the constant mistakes week in week out he either learns to eliminate em or he can pee off.
look at that lot no wonder we got beat most of em make dumb mistakes every week and most of em cant kick a ball at afl level.
they are not and have never been the answer.

we all want to be competetive and so we understand why we play some of them,  but ffs not all at once. why lonergan in front of arnot or petterd in front of dea. white nahas instead of mcdonough we need to develop our younger players and find out who will take us forward and who wont.
why 4 small poorly skilled forwards in edwards king white and nahas only one in edwards can play in the midfield and for smalls their foot skills are not up to the standard. ffs what ever happened to the mantra of if you cant kick or make a sound decision you dont play for richmond. its been thrown out the window and we are going backwards at a rate of knots because of it.

f/ martin - griffiths - elton
r maric - cotchin - foley
int/ conca - newman - vlastuin - houli
emg arnot- helbig -

My only worry with this is
 - Chaplin. Does his good out way the bad. Is he a superior long term prospect to Mcintosh, Darrou, Astbury?
 - A Edwards age is a negative. Little/no defensive pressure and does nothing if the ball is not kicked perfect to him.
 - Pettard cant kick.
 - Houli is too soft.

How should of we lost to the blues? We kicked a bigger score than them and isn't that the aim of the game? Have I misunderstood this game for all these years?
