[Mr Magic]

Lets see how they perform against Melbourne.

Exactly.

Do I feel good that we lost again albeit by a smaller margin?


No.

I feel better than I did 7 days ago.

Great to have lids and rance back....hopefully the mullet will be back soon too.

Bachar Houli escapes a bit of criticism this year. I reckon he's been pretty ordinary and would love to see Lennon putting pressure on his position.
Loses his feet to often and his kicking has not been up to the standards previously. Not convinced that he's good enough to be a strong finals footballer.

Yeah for a bloke with his physical stature he really should be running into people instead of pulling up...

[Willy]

Not doing enough.

Back to 2011 Houli. Where the stuff is Leppa?

Houli's escaped criticism the entire time he's been at Ruichmond. He can probably thank Grigg for that.

As for today's game - Geelong always had our measure, Cats just played Cat & Mouse with us all day. If it had been dry they would've won by 10 goals, dropped plenty of sitters in their forward 50 -  28 scoring shots to 16 says it all. "Honourable" losses can FOAD.

This just about sums it all up for me right now:

No.

Agree. This was the game we had to win yet we get blasted away in the first quarter on the MCG. Geelong kicked inaccurately. Again too much was left to too few. After the press we got last week any other team would have come out all firing. Nothing honourable about this loss.

Jackson elbow to the head of Taylor Hunt halfway through the last quarter & then throwing him around like a ragdoll  priceless. l'm starting to warm to Jackson lately

Jackson was fantastic on the weekend but this cost us a cost.

If you look at the footage, he was on Johnson. He was absolutely spent for the run down the win and then wrestle with Hunt that he wasn't able to contest at the ball up and Johnson was able to get an easy possession that won the clearance from that stoppage and kick the ball up the wing. You could excuse Jackson to think that he was taking care of Hunt cause they were wrestling, but as the ball was moving forward to the flank, the ball was centred to Hunt who was miles on his own with no1 chasing him from the stoppage where Jackson was wrestling him and kicked a pretty easy goal which hurt our momentum.

So either way as good as the little wrestle was it clearly cost us a goal as it put Jackson out of the game for 2 minutes.

You can also suggest that no1 was willing to do something extra and cover Johnson for Jackson at the stoppage or chase Hunt when Jackson couldn't go with him.

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.

The forum is the perfect place all of us Richmond fans can come and either give the club a spray or give the club a pat on the back.
I don't think there is a culture problem it's obvious they have one and it's been the major issue at the club since the 80's.
How I behave shouldn't have any bearing on how the club performs. All I want is for them to finally be successful again just as everyone here does and I'm sure even you.
As for anyone reading my posts.... You did

On FC they were just talking about the blood on Selwood's face before he kicked the match winner. Why the stuff did Lids etc. not point that out? I was screaming at the telly when this happened. Horrible mistake IMO.
He kicked that goal after about thirty seconds of bloody face. Get him off you fools!!
