Inspiring last quarter. So why didn't the coach McRae tell them at 1/4 time. Its a boys club at Richmond. They are treated & trained like kittens. They need to tuffen up & grow some balls. That's why we see our senior players shriek a contest. Trained & treated like kittens in a family invoriment. Things need to change. Great effort last quarter. l love biff football 

[TigerMonk]

Oh & l would select Butler in the senior side next week & let him go

The obvious exception being Ballard, who looks better than half our AFL midfield.

 buts that's exactly the issue,  one or two out of 20 odd isnt enough on your VFL list it simply isnt good enough

Agree - wasn't arguing with your point, I've been saying the same thing for three years.

Butler for Bellis

We're not coached that way!

I hope Aarts gets a decent football career, if only for the rhyming slang opportunities....

VFL stats from grimlock on BF:

Richmond entered the game at Victoria Park trying to overcome two unfortunate hurdles. The Craig McRae-led Tigers had never beaten Collingwood since becoming a stand-alone VFL team, while they also haven’t managed to record a win in front of the Channel 7 broadcast cameras.

Richmond ruckman Ivan Maric was a late withdrawal, with the Tigers keeping him as a back-up for Friday night's clash against Port Adelaide, in the case Shaun Hampson does not recover from a knee injury sustained in the win over the Brisbane Lions.

The Tigers lacked the intensity, effort and work-rate for much of the match against the Pies, with coach Craig McRae suggesting that it was "probably the most disappointed I've been with the group for a few weeks", after an uncompetitive third term.

Would like to see Butler get a game in the seniors soon.

Would like to see Butler get a game in the seniors soon.

Why?

[eliminator]

Believe he may be a player who will lift to the occasion. Played okay yesterday. Maybe worth taking a chance.

[Stalin]

Why do they start trying when ten goals now game over

Opposition had put the cue in the rack like we did yesterday against Brisbane.

It's more than that

The Richmond coach was cocky at 3/4 "watch hungry they are going to be this quarter...

No much good web the games over

Yell at the sobs before te game not 3/4 t

[TigerMonk]

Would like to see Butler get a game in the seniors soon.

Why?

Because some lads excel in a faster pace game & they show better skills. l reckon Butler is that kind of footballer the club is looking for. We have everything to gain by trying him
