All three games so far, we've been thrashed on the spread.  When we have the ball, our opponents man up.  When they have the ball, we have no concept of playing one-on-one.

Why are we still playing down the line everytime? I thought dimma said that wasn't meant to happen after the carlton game. At the ground with a clear view from level 3 the dogs aren't even playing well. It's not like they're chopping us up. They're scoring from crappy clearances and fumbles.

If we stop coughing it up the dogs won't score again. Though I can't see that happening today.  I'll give it a few mins into 3rd to see how we go to decide to go home.

People spoke of our better depth this year, well based on the performance today it should need tested as they should drop about 10 players. Been watching Grigg and he doesn't know how to spell desperation, his efforts are poor at best. The senior players are unsighted, as usual things not going to plan and they just hibernate. King is finished, should have Lloyd in there. We are still screaming out for an x factor small forward, Titch Edwards has done absolutely nothing. The way its going it could be a repeat of the VFL result.

Here's a tip. Leave now, go home put some music on get a drink and get hammered...the RFC are doing the same!!!

I'd love to know what our stuffing game plan is this year because it doesn't resemble anything like one that will win a game of AFL football.  WTF has happened to our run I don't know but I do know that all season so far we have reverted to the worst of the Wallace years - prop, stop, chip sideways, then get rid of the ball with as much panic as possible.  Wonder if Leppa leaving is having a much bigger impact than we know?  Whatever it is, the rabble that are wearing the jumper so far this year wouldn't blow wind up the anus of those who were last year.

The second half will show if we have any on-field leaders and if the rest of the team has any heart.

Both Kingy and Newy look finished.

  I nearly left in the second but after train stuff ups that turned a 20min trip into an hour I just couldn't be buggered yet. Don't mind leaving early though.  Will get a feed and beat the rush

Other coaches have worked out Hardwicks game plan and he doesnt seem to have taught the players a plan B. Very disappointing. Today is literally the end of our season if we lose and a first nail in the Hardwick rebuild of the Richmond FC. To that end, I dont blame him entirely - when you only ever recruit average failed players from other clubs you cant and shouldnt expect much. Moneyball doesnt work in AFL footy.

Is cotchin in danger of doing anything?

It's a team game. The Dogs are able to contain his influence because no other Tiger is protecting him or stepping up to help out. It sums it up when Cotch in a BP kicks to Jacko then Cotch has to run on to get Jacko's pass and then they repeat the passing again between themselves. Where is everyone else?

It might help if each Tiger is accountable for their direct opponent. Jong has kicked two on Grigg while tagging Grigg.

Then add our forwards who have done nothing even defensively. Murphy has had 11 kicks at 100%. Anyone care to put some pressure on him.

The Dogs have got Roughead running around with one-arm yet he's doing more for his team than any of our talls are with two good arms.

[WA Tiger]

Go have a look at the disposals and efficiency of their top 10 against ours....they are just smashing us...its really bad actually. We have absolutely no chance in hell of beating them if this trend continues.

Actually we wont stuffing beat anyone..

Tend to disagree, Ramps.  Plan B is to stop running, bomb it along the boundary line, cause a stoppage, lose it and watch the opposition run down the ground and score.

We never used to play long contested ball down the line. Why now? Dimma said last week it's not the plan. Players on the field need to pull their fingers out. Not the coaches fault the players are too stupid to follow instruction.

[tony_montana]

Spot on ramps, we've been worked out, even the doggies are getting in behind our 'zone'. I was angry dirt 2 weeks, not today not surprised at all.

[Rampstar]

but he's the one playing these knobs. Our players are not running, there looking around like a bunch of whores working the streets looking for a customer. We're poohouse and we dont deserve to win any games if we play poo footy like we are today.
