Richmond vs Melbourne - Round 5, 2017

[tdy]

If hogan could have caught the ball in that last quarter the Dees could have won. He dropped 3 or 4 about 30m out. All contested hard gets in the wet but we were lucky it wasnt his night.

Wouldn't have dropped it if someone threw him a pack of Winnie Blues

Good game by Caddy. Great to beat Dees.

[MintOnLamb]

Great night, great atmosphere, great win, enjoying the ride

[Jackstar 1960]

Fantastic
The will to win says it all

[Francois Jackson]

A great win that one. You have to single out Houli and Grigg. Others probably played better but they both played quality games.

Re: Elton. He is the worst player I've seen in 20 years. Wtf is wrong with that bloke. Ball bouncing off his head was comical.

Can people honestly say that Chol cannot do better?

[Heart of Darkness]

Houli was excellent last night - particularly in the last. Cops it a lot on this board but he's comfortably best 22 and will be for a couple years yet.

[eliminator]

I thought Nank was outstanding. His second efforts and tackling great to see. Really happy we got him to this club. Butler continues to impress as does Rioli.

[WilliamPowell]

I think we can add Astbury to the list of Hero's tonight as well!
Kept hogan to one goal and free'd up Rance to run riot in defence.
Was unlucky with the rushed behind call and had an absolute brain fade when he tried to Shepard the ball through and Hogan kicked it but that aside he was more than solid.

Hogan kicked 3. Astbury can be very dumb at times, but he's going ok this season.

2 of those goals were from frees

Yep 2 goals from stupid brain fades from Astbury. And then as someone else mentioned,  to allow a human tea towel in Garlett to out body you was well embarrassing.  It was an Elton moment. You know last week -v- Bristol when little Claye Beams out marked Elton 

[WilliamPowell]

While Melbourne was down 2 in the 2nd half

We were one short for the entire game.

I would also like to make special mention of markov, was isolated one out about 4-5 times in the goal square and got the spoil away each time, you could feel the pressure he was under and came through with flying colours - its moments like that that help a player grow and develop

[Owl]

Markov will never die wondering, thought he was going to get hospitalised a few times but he keeps rolling with the hits.

[Cheese]

Glad we won.
Always nice to beat Melbourne.
Adelaide over there will be a massive letdown.

We are still unproven against quality opposition.

Someone always comes up with a reason we were "lucky" and the favourite is usually "lucky the other team didn't kick straight. Well, Melbourne were lucky it wasn't our night in front of the sticks. Can find "what ifs" for any scenario, at the end of the day it doesn't matter
