Welcome everyone to One-Eyed Richmond's Tiger Forum Cheers from mightytiges and WilliamPowell.
Have you changed the rules? Bolton's mark was out voted by Brodie Miochek in Round 8.
You're JOKING, right?WTF is Riewoldt doing in there? He's not even the highest in the air with that mark! Weightman's was MUCH better.Clearly a Richmond fan decided the finalists, eh?Shai Bolton then for the close win, over O'Brien.Riewoldt isn't even CLOSE...
That 100,000 boutta get a heap smaller when we beat them in Round 1
25,000 of those members are already up to date with their vaccinations #PETmemberships
50% are in prison so they already had their shot.
Considering most of their members are animals it may be a little hard
Yes, the college crowds are awesome, but some 95K+ Tigers jumping around the ‘G stacks up pretty well too 🔊https://twitter.com/Richmond_FC/status/1435109775809806338
Also stirring when 13,000 of those fans bother to make the long trek 3 kilometres west to Docklands.That gets the blood pumping.
It is funny though right...like imagine if our ascent had of been now and not 2017...when you honestly had 3 other very, very good teams (and indeed one "dynasty" team) in the prelims...any of whom could win the premiership. Our 2017 would easily win the premiership this year...in fact, none of the current sides would get within 5 to 10 goals.
That is just not true....Melbourne, Bulldogs, Port & Geelong all very good teams, any of those teams would of beat us on gf day the way we turned up that day.
I dont agree with that. We got beaten by a dynasty team that were playing at home and who the AFL did everything in their power to assist on the day ...
I think you may need to sit through the GF again and see how badly we played after quarter time. We were on the end of some bad umpiring that day but it didnt cost us the game...but if on that day, had we played like we had majority of that year, we would of won the premiership, i was not that impressed with richmonds 2017 grand final performance, it was more down to how we didn't show up after half time. Their 2019 and 2020 premierships were more impressive. We were no where near the level on grand final day and any of the 4 teams this year would of beat us.
Our entire 2017 team were mentally exhausted before they even stepped on the field Grandfinal Day.Who's fault that is I don't know. They were told to soak up the week and enjoy it and they did it so well they had no energy left on grandfinal day.I was there that day, I kept thinking it's ok we'll flick the switch soon and play like I know we can. Wasn't until half way through the last quarter that I realised we didn't have a shot to fire at all.
If you rewatch them doing the power stance before the game, it looks like it suddenly dawned on them that they hadn't won it yet.
The thing about the power stance is it immediately flagged to the opposition we had an issue with mental toughness. If you need a gimmick to project strength, it's a clear weakness.
For me it was when Vlaustin held onto Eddie in the goalsquare.Not blaming the umps but that was the moment the guys dropped off
It was a blatantly obvious free kick that should have been paid. Add that goal, Eddie up and about and we have significant momentum. Who knows what impact it has on Richmond's belief?I still think Richmond would have won the game (the McGovern & Smith injuries, the Cotchin decision, our poor team selection and the constant cheating from the umpires ensured it).
We were beaten by the inform team of the comp on a ground where they won 20 in a row.
No. We were the in form team of the competition. We were the best team all year.
Richmond were a good team no doubt but I'm sorry, we were the best team that year aside from the grand final. Aside from a few stinkers (which Richmond had as well) we were destroying teams and finished top of the ladder nearly 20% ahead of the other top 4 sides
They were also playing on a ground they dominated on, and one we struggled on.Our best performances were better than theirs, but as the ladder suggests they werent that far behind us. We underestimated them.It had nothing to do with the power stance, or Criminal Minds..... they were just better.
I often wonder of the sliding doors phenomenon if Tigers played the Cats down at that sh*t hole in Geelong in Week 1.
I actually wonder about the rule change eliminating the 3rd man up.I think that rule change helped Richmond alot with their gameplan. You can't surge it forward if the ball gets wacked out the back past their midfielders.
And you'll always be 9thmond ❤️
FJ is the only one that makes sense.
