8 point game

Yeah, bit old this one.. :sleep
About as old as any post about Jake Batchelor.


Cant be bothered mate. Not posting about stuff all anymore. Not sure what the point is, none of us can change crap. They will still select the same crap players and the RFC will always be losers.
It's a cathartic experience and that can be helpful.

Its not even that anymore.. :help

Not many times over the last 6 years, even when we were in DH first year that I thought we had no hope of winning. But at the moment the way we are playing we have next to no 
chance of winning. The style of footy we are playing now is unwatchable. And extremely embarring.

I'll wait to make my mind up if I go when I see the team selections on Thursday night.
I'll happily be first there if Houli, Grigg and Hampson are dropped and replaced with kids...

Vlastuin, Grimes and McIntosh would be a good start. But I'd also like to see Short get another crack at it.

If we lose by over 100 points.........

The natives will get very very restless!!!! :whistle

Doesn't this get said EVERY game...many don't really care now. I for one pen in a loss every week now, couldnt give a stuff if we lose and i'm not even fussed if we win.

We dont really need the big comeback this year, we need the early picks.

Don't think I've ever seen it posted...

Match preview: Richmond v Hawthorn

AFL.com.au
May 4, 2016


SUMMARY

After five losses in a row, Richmond now has the task of taking on the reigning premiers on the Friday night stage. It's a daunting task for the 1-5 Tigers, but it also gives them a chance to roll the dice in a match few would expect them to win. On the other side, Hawthorn is looking at an easy kill after a humbling 75-point loss to Greater Western Sydney in round six. The Hawks have been off their game, and only sit 4-2 and in eighth spot because of their experience and will to get over the line in tight games. They might consider this Friday night the perfect opportunity to play themselves back into premiership-winning form.     


WHERE AND WHEN: MCG, Friday, May 6, 7.50pm AEST

LAST FIVE TIMES
R18, 2015, Richmond 10.11 (71) d Hawthorn 7.11 (53) at the MCG
R6, 2014, Hawthorn 18.10 (118) d Richmond 7.10 (52) at the MCG
R19, 2013, Richmond 16.11 (107) d Hawthorn 9.12 (66) at the MCG
R9, 2012, Richmond 21.11 (137) d Hawthorn 10.15 (75) at the MCG
R3, 2011, Hawthorn 17.13 (115) d Richmond 6.16 (52) at the MCG


THE SIX POINTS

1. Anthony Miles and Dustin Martin were the difference for the Tigers when thy beat the Hawks in the teams' last meeting. Miles was best on ground with 30 disposals, while Martin racked up 27. Ivan Maric dominated the ruck, earning a Brownlow vote with 31 hit-outs.

2. Richmond’s scoring continues to fall compared to last season, with an average of 80 points a game after it was 87 in 2015. Hawthorn is kicking 93 points a game, down from 109 in 2015.

3. The Hawks are one of the best tackling sides so far in 2016, ranked second with an average of 77.2. The Tigers are struggling in this area, ranked 15th with 62.2 per game.

4. Richmond and Hawthorn have met only three times on a Friday night at the MCG and the Tigers are undefeated.

5. Richmond is on track for its worst start to a season since Damien Hardwick’s team lost its first nine games in 2010. Hawthorn hasn’t lost consecutive games since early in 2014.

6. Vice-captain Brett Deledio has taken back the No.1 ranking at Tigerland in the Official AFL Player Ratings, brought to you by Schick.  It took Deledio one match back to unseat suspended teammate Alex Rance.


IT'S A BIG WEEK FOR … Ivan Maric.
The vice-captain gathered just four possessions against Port Adelaide and comes up against ruck duo Ben McEvoy and Jon Ceglar, who shared 30 against GWS. Maric is a leader at Tigerland but the 30-year-old is battered and is being supported by an equally wounded Shaun Hampson. The pair has been found out by mobile ruckmen. 



PREDICTION: Hawthorn by 36 points

Half-step to pick a slow, unskilled side then wonder why Hawthorn out ran us, while lamenting our high amount of turnovers before saying he's encouraged by our contested ball numbers....(that Hawthorn have been soundly beaten in all year.)

Mitchell out for the Hawks
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

I know we have been totally poo but geez those are good odds coming up against a side who are decimated by injury and are coming off a flogging and have not really played good footy this year. How can the odds be so far apart i know we are poo  but the Hawks are not travelling too well themselves.

It goes against the grain and i dont think we will win  but i think i will have a little wager on us.
