Matty McDonough was fantastic  today. That boy respected the jumper, he respected the occassion and if Tom Hafey was around today he would of been proud of the kid. The kid played with all his heart like a tiger player should. Ben Lennon also played fantastic after he came on after half time. 2 ripper goals. These boys are Richmond players. I respect them for how they played today. If only some of their older mates played like these two we would have won easy.

Well Done to both boys. You did yourselves, your families and the Richmond supporters proud today. You will be 10 year players.

Thanks for playing your hearts out until the end  :clapping

Well said Ramps.

What a joke that our best player (bar Martin) came on near 3 qtr time. Lennon was great.

These 2 carried about 10 blokes today.
Go Tigers!

Interesting I thought McDonough was shown up a number of times today for his lack of speed

Thought he struggled a fair bit

But certainly didn't walk away thinking he didn't give his all

kid played his guts out. was beaten sometimes but he gave his all which is more than most of his teammates. Didnt think he was overly slow today.

Thought McDonough was ordinary today
6 kicks 6 handballs against Melbourne really isn't a good game
Got caught often as well

The guy isn't a backman…..we are playing him out of position.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

He got caught way too often and runs into the wrong spots which is a real issue

At least he runs. Go and have a look at how many of our blokes were jogging today and taking the pee. It was disgraceful.

Exactly. Joel and Patrick Bowden racked them up one week against Adelaide.

Don't get the anti-McDonough 'love'.  I reckon he's really come on this year and stills has heaps of upside.  Looks like he has a footy brain and has a crack - 2 attributes a fair few in the run on 22 couldn't lay claim to.

I spotted him walking in the centre square in the last quarter when he should be running
Game was there to be won
To for him to spectate
Sorry but that's why we are what we are
A terrible football club

McDonough >>>>>>>>>> Chaplin, Houli, Grigg, Hampson, Ellis combined.

Brandon Ellis lost me today. Kid does not have a footy brain. Is lazy too.

Pretty much sums it up.

Melbourne played with 18 on the field 3 interchange and a sub.

We leave too much to too few.

We play with 5-10 if we are lucky, 1 or 2 interchange, a sub and anywhere between 10-12 passengers.
