this article is a small example of whats wrong with Richmond FC. "Tigers ready to run"

GOT A NEWS FLASH YOU BLOKES THE SEASON STARTED WEEKS AGO. YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE UP AND RUNNING THEN, NOT WHEN YOU SEASON IS SHOT TO PIECES.

But what worries me more is they actually put this tripe up on the club website. They actually believe the tripe and the spin they're peddling.

Whats just as bad is there are some supporters who buy into it week in week out year in year out

Its a sad state of affairs when your forwards are displaying more defensive pressure than your Backmen. Chaplain was exposed as a complete defensive fraud. We wanted a monster truck and all we ended up with is a Soft Top Mini Moke.

To be fair to Cotchin he was being close checked by an experienced opponent in Langford who probably got chaired off by Burgoyne and Mitchell for his 10th game.

Langford has a good teacher in his father who was a a champion defender. One of the smartest footballing brains in football back then & today, Who could easily replace Demetriou & do it well. So l would expect nothing less from a 10 gamer who has everyone watching him claim scalps. But Cotchin body is not 100% as he takes a battering weekly. We need another Tuck type player to protect our mids & one of these lads like Arnot will deliver with game time

Agree

Where is the old dog these days?

Still co-oaching Learmonth in the Central Highlands footy league.

Get it done, Tiges.  :cheers

With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

Tigers ready to run

Although Richmond was well beaten by reigning premier Hawthorn at the MCG yesterday (Sunday), defender Dylan Grimes believes there were signs the Tigers had turned the corner in terms of quicker, more decisive ball movement.

“That was a focus of ours going into the game.  There were patches where we did do it,” Grimes told ‘Roar Vision’.

“It showed that we’ve improved on recent weeks, and that’s something that we’ll really try and drive going into the Geelong game (next Sunday).”

“Our KPI’s were all red for us this week, so that was the most disappointing thing,” Grimes said.

“We didn’t play the way we wanted to play.  Basically, they made us defend a lot of the time, which was very taxing on us . . .”

We've turned the corner in terms of quicker, more decisive ball movement?  :huh :huh3

This is exactly the sort of crapp I am talking about, please give a rest

Stop treating us like morons

Right now we simply don't believe you RFC
I think you've got it wrong WP.
You think they are lying or talking spin but what's really happening here is the same crap that always happens at Richmond. They always believe there own hype and actually think they are better than they are.
The slowest team but actually think they are one of the fastest.
Play one final and think they are walking into the top four.

I think they are all blinded by tigeritis. It's like reverse anorexia. These blokes look in the mirror and see Schwarzenegger.
The coach and players are deluded.
The club that keeps giving.
