Richmond vs Geelong @ the MCG - Round 7, 2014

[Willy]

I will leave you honourable loss people alone.

How many of you have had honourable roots?? It's either excellent or it's crap.....you don't have half a root and think, gee that wasn't too bad, I nearly did the job!

So you'd feel 100% the same if we lost by 100 points?

I doubt it.

I'm angry we lost. But glad I finally saw some fight. Some tackling. Some running. Some direct football. Some play on.

This.

[bojangles17]

Exactly, we take that into any other week and we d beat 15 other sides , no problem

No we wouldn't 

Goal less qtrs aren't a trademark of a winnng team.

At this level, it's unfathomable.

Ellis had been put to dud.

Yep, today we showed why many fans have been so disappointed and angry at our performances in the first 6 rounds of the season. We can play so much better than we've shown and hopefully we use today as a springboard to play hard honest aggressive footy for the rest of the season.

One thing that disappointed me in the final qtr was once Selwood went off, Lids no longer manned him, would have been a great test of his concentration to see if he could've have continued to stop him. Lids needs those types of roles, hes as gifted as anyone in the comp, just cruises a bit too much, needs the challenge of playing on the best to show he is amongst them.

Conca was brilliant today, clean, sure handed(where were the fumbles? ) Ellis and Floss also stood up. Rance was massive, defence looks much better with him in it, Astbury was again very good - love seeing the angst and anger he has when his direct opponent takes a mark on him, gets deadest dirty on himself.  Cotchin worked his way through a really tough tag and had an impact. Lids was all class

I don't mean to be disrespectful but Im glad newman did his calf, that's the only way we'll see him out of the side.  Bring in Griff for Azza, Lennon for Newman and Miles for Gordon and petard for Grigg. I haven't been a fan of petterd but he responded exactly how you want to see players respond to being dropped and deserves a spot in the side ahead of a few.

Best game from Morris in a while too, forget about rebounding and just play lockdown.

see you next week, what time is the date 

[TigerMonk]

Stokes will be reported for striking Morris 

[Hard Roar Tiger]

I'm sure that there are a few who are relieved we didn't win today. Hope your pumped fellas.

You are a disgrace.
Everyone here love the tigers and show more passion than you ever would buddy.

You are the Grigg of this forum!

You come on this forum and bag the club, the player and carry on like a whiny baby but have the hide to call me a disgrace.
You seem to think there is a culture based issue but behave in a way that could never in any way role model what an elite, team culture should aspire to become.
I reckon you wonder why noone ever listens to your rants.

Great post (most of it at least)

I walked back to the car frustrated. Why? Because I just wanted to know why it's taken 7 weeks for them to play like that.

There was a lot to like today but struth it's bloody hard not be frustrated

[Francois Jackson]

HRT your posts if that's what you call them are uninformed and can I say boring.

You provide nothing so off you go back to PRE, your time here is done pal

I'm tipping your not even a member, one of those types

Last time I checked I had 4 so if I want to be critical I won't be listening to a Mormon like you who tells me I can't.

Cheers

if the selectors can get the right side in and we can win the next 2 games then maybe confidence can rise and they can salvage the season but its gonna be a tough ask from here.

Has clawski posted yet? Don't want to miss his post

[the claw]

they had a crack and failed i can live with that. at least it was watchable.

i didnt expect a win and i havent put great emphasis on the win loss column even at the start of the yr. to me this season was about improvement and if that meant wins as well id take it.

i dont think we have improved but at least we got back to being competetive. it was a big improvement on what we have dished up so far this yr.

despite having a real crack even if we had won i would stand by what i have said about the list. we do lack quality we lack depth, and we are short on player types in some key areas. just too many glass half fulls for me and its borne out in the mistakes and poor skills and poor decision making.

im hoping this so called honorable loss doesnt see us continually persevere with players who continually fall back into  mediocrity. we need to turn players over and we need to address plenty of problems.

[Coach]

stuff Petterd Tony. As I said recently, look after our own duds. Bring back Foley in place of Grigglets.
