No Pendlebury (maybe), Dwyer, Harry O (maybe), Beams, Adams, Dale Thomas gone, Heath Shaw gone. Swan horribly out of form and carrying niggles

Dale Thomas was sub last time. Hardly had an impact.

But as you said bogey side, so even if they brought in the Colliers and Bruce Andrew we'd be licked.

They'd definitely win with a couple of ghosts playing for them!

There is an article on the Hun web page about us not being hungry enough by Cotch....I cant download it though.

Have a feeling we will come out on Friday with renewed vigour and desperation but the pies will still find a way to win and us a way to lose. Believe if it pans out that way then have having been in the media spotlight this week the group will be demoralized and that's goodbye to the season. If somehow we can overcome out mental demons and actually put in a full 100 mins effort and we fall over the line then it could kick start our season and with injured players returning soon it could be a major turning point. One promising thing so far under Hardwick is that on most occasions we have bounced back well after a mediocre loss.

Captain Trent Cotchin says Tigers will show fight against Collingwood

RICHMOND captain Trent Cotchin has dismissed suggestions his team is not hungry enough, insisting the Tigers are ready to bounce back against Collingwood on Friday night.

Cotchin said the group learnt some valuable lessons out of last week’s two-point loss to the Bulldogs, and can’t wait to have a crack at the Magpies this week.

DERM AND ANDO’S WEEKEND HEROES

“We are hungry enough; certainly last year hurt us,” Cotchin said of the Tigers’ disappointing elimination final loss to Carlton.

“We thought we were better than what we showed in the finals series.

“We are not saying we are not disappointed with the way the results have fallen, and our performance over the last couple of weeks, but we will be doing everything we possibly can to come out and show a real sign of fight.

“The Pies have shown some good signs over the past couple of weeks. It will be a really good midfield battle, but also at both ends, it is going to be interesting.”


cheers, tell us again what you will show us,

bc we never actually see it, just hear it.

Seriously !    If I hear that bloody line again.... we've learnt that many frickin 'valuable lessons' in the past couple of years we should be effing qualified to lecture at Melbourne uni.

HOw many minutes will we fight for this week?

[Hellenic Tiger]

Yep we were disappointed.
Yep we need consistency and not concede multiple goals.
Yep we need this and that.
Yep Grigg will watch 98% of the play with minimal impact
Yep our best passage of play will end up with Titch butchering it
Yep Dimma is gonna have structures and parametres just like Danny had cherry ripes.

Prove me wrong princesses.

HOw many minutes will we fight for this week?

my guess is 5 minutes at which point the pies will get a run on of 4 goals and we will give up, sad to say. Simple fact is that week in week out its left to a few players rather than efforts across the squad, once those few are accounted for by the opposition then we are firing blanks from then on. God forbid if Cotch has a long term injury, goodbye season, just shouldn't be that reliant. Hawks, Cats, Bombers would all survive if you took out their Capitano, fear we would capitulate and it would be all too hard for the remaining "leaders" to cope with.

So "Cotchin said the group learnt some valuable lessons out of last week’s two-point loss to the Bulldogs, and can’t wait to have a crack at the Magpies this week"

Have a crack...have a stuffing crack....you better do more than have a stuffing crack!!!!!

Sad but very true

Hawks, Cats, Bombers would all survive if you took out their Capitano

Hawks , Cats and Freo maybe. Don't be fooled by Essendon. By round 15 they will be a one man team again. Watson is that man.

Cloke celebrating his 200th game this week.
Hope our players want to celebrate too, but kicking their stuffing arse across the mcg and sending the filth supporters home early
