What sort of Garbage was dished up tonight ?

[tony_montana]

Yeah Newman and Chaplin would've made the difference

Get off it

Yeah you're right I suppose. Arnott and doughnut killed it tonight. Tross had a blinder.

And Chaplin and Newman kill it each week do they? Or Rance can't play well without Chaplin is that what you're saying?

You'd think after five years the club would be able to cover the losses, especially against a crap side like MELBOURNE.

The glass half full types have gone to ground.

I am up and about.
Filthy about last night but not surprised. We're in for a long year I think.

No. I am saying we don't have the depth to cover them.
Everyone keeps waiting to try kids like Ellis, Mc Bean, Menadue, butler etc. But the facts are they are not ready.

Credit to you and GR12.

The majority of the rest are conveniently silent, watching from under cover

Grigg got us to mod table mediocrity. Can't get us further.

Same applies to these blokes even some didn't play last night.

Houli,
Chaplin,
Petterd,

Add Knights 5 games out of 48.

Newman should retire

Grimes plodder,
Vickery disinterested
Hampson waste of a pick 28
Maric plodder.
Gordo and Lloyd soundly beaten.
Morris deer in the headlights.

Cotch has limited leadership. Uninspiring. My 4 year old shows more leadership and initiative at kinder.
Add to the fact that Dimma gets outcoached regularly by first year coaches and blokes he would add to this coaching staff to save him from a mutiny of a more experienced type.
Where was the hard tag on Jones. Why was Hunt recruited? To get granny to renew her membership.
Recruiting, Blair got us to mid table, beyond that too difficult.
FJ can nail a first rounder but beyond that donuts just about.
Dea where is he.
Conca becoming a major disappointment at pick 6.
This is RFC under Gieschen circa 1999.
Nothing has changed since then and nothing it seems will.
A couple of tokenistic finals appearances with no wins to fuel the masses and then apologies at the end of 2016 when membership plummets , then sell us snake oil again and tell us what we want to hear until that new coaches fate is sealed 2-3 years after that and the 6-8 year flag blueprint that began in 2010 just becomes another incomplete RFC flag statistic and broken promise.

What is galling is the Dogs were on a downward slide list wise in 2010 despite them making a prelim in Dimma's first year. Eade got the chop in 2011. McCartney took the hit they slid right down and if it wasn't for expansion teams and Neeld at Melbourne would have won spoons. Yet they stuck to their blueprint and right now both them and Melbourne are ahead of us.

Melbourne have not had a Friday Night game since 2012 and we on a major stage fail again.
RFC continually disappoint their fans since 1983.

You know, that if everyone else was to become as miserable and bitter as yourself, you wouldn't be any happier? These things are not relative.

The team has their slogan - Strong and Bold. How about the supporters have one - I showed up today Tigers, why didn't you?

I can say with some confidence that us glass half fullers are hurting just as much as the glass half emptiers.

[TigerLand]

Melbourne's list is awful. It's full of recycled stuff too. Cross, Lubumba, Garrett are all very mediocre. They were just better than our recycled crap of Lloyd Gordon Grigg etc.

How do we know they are not ready? They are not given enough of a chance to make a call on them. Coming in for 1 or 2 games with an axe hanging over their necks if they don't perform admirably is not giving them a chance. We wouldn't have won with Newman and chaplin last night, so why do you feel the need to single out Arnott and McDonough insinuating they were a major reason why we lost?

Completely disagree with that mindset, I blame guys like jack who played a solid game in every way bar the most important stat - KICKING GOALS. I hold players like Hunt, Martin, Grigg, Ellis, Cotch, Morris and Houli responsible - they are all our go to senior core and not one of them was a clear winner.

Most significantly I blame our setup, people can say what they like about not blaming the coach, but last night I saw some putrid attacking plays. Going inside 50 we are too scared to hit the corridor inside 50, IT WAS OPEN TIME AND AGAIN but we'd continue to go to the pocket to "at worst neutralise" the contest and try and lock it in there like we always have, whats worse Melbourne knew this and were leaving a massive hole smack bang in the middle of the 50! my god if one of our fwds wasn't actually went against team orders and looked to the fat side they would've thought all their Christmas's had come at once. Just putrid

[Bengal]

im totally shattered. the difference last night was only one team was trying.. The other team, fmd i have know idea what they were doing.  Not many from last night can hold their heads up.  i hate to say it.... We are a team of pansies..  except titch who went well again.

What's the point of that comment Dooks?

We're all hurting, man.

Unnecessary bitchiness.

Have any of our administration had the balls to turn up to radio talkback today and do some interviews or are they all hiding
