Terrible.

We are in big trouble peoples.

[Tigeritis™©®]

Outs:
Broad (worst game and has played maybe 1 passable game all year)
Higgins (second year blues? Too much dinky business and no penetration - 0 disposals 3rd qtr)
Lynch (such a useless waste of money and talent when he refuses to play properly, very lazy game)

Soldo and Garthwaite VFL standard unfortunately.
Play CCJ and don’t waste games on Soldo.

Butler a one truck pony.
Rioli injured and out of form is a better option.

Houli 26 kicks, 36 missed tackles

Bellis is Bellis 💩

The only way we can compete against the good sides is to get rid of the downhill skiers.

In all fairness to Garthwaite. Brown got some goals from soft free kicks.

Granted, but Garthwaite was no where tonight. He offers very little.

Garthwaite is not going to make it BT

Slow one trick pony. Playing him and Astbury in the backline against a big forward will end up a loss more times than not

[Lozza]

Thought Grimes had one of his poorer games tonight, the backline just appeared to lack any cohesion.

[Diocletian]

Could see this result coming a mile off...all the ingredients were there , the ground, the "grand final" opponent, the new coach, the way they played last week, the way we finished last week in heavy conditions...

[Diocletian]

...but really, if you want to boil it right down to just one thing- crap tackling was the main reason we lost.....it invariably is when we lose...all our other notable deficiencies were there but we usually get away with them and still win when we tackle well...

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

No one in terms of a 4 quarter effort. We were beaten all over the park especially after half-time.

I am sick to death of this mob setting themselves for us every stinking year. Like, for God’s sake, why don’t we understand?!?!?!

We are their GF. It’s pathetic and sycophantic; but can we just stuffing work and put some effort in for once?

Pathetic Tigers.....

[Simonator]

Are people really surprised we dropped a game ? Look at our team for Geez sake.
our 3 most valuable players aren't playing and yet we've still managed to win games.

we are going to have inconsistencies with such a young team its just inevitable. I for won am extremely pleased with how well
this team has played this year.
Obviously not happy with the effort last night, or against the dogs, but i think all the positives heavily outweigh the negatives of those games.

[Rampsation]

Garthwaite and Soldo arent up to it. Astbury is shot and Butler lost me last night. Had a chance and blew it
We were crap last night but as people said we are Norfs GF also missing key players and even Mick McGuanes article yesterday. Everything was heading towards what happened.

[Diocletian]

Terrible.

We are in big trouble peoples.

Well look who's turned up again after a loss.......

not sure everyone would be upset if it we lost against descent opposition, but those pathetic spuds come on Sim.

Its more that we produced that effort against a bunch of gypsys and we let spuds play like superstars

very annoying indeed. but hypothetically would i prefer we play poo against north but win against port and freo on the road ? yep.

“Took the foot off the pedal”:
Dermott Brereton, Terry Wallace dissect Richmond’s shock loss

By SEN
1 June 2019

Richmond’s inability to have every base covered was exposed by North Melbourne in their shock 37-point loss on Friday night, according to Hawthorn great Dermott Brereton.

The Kangaroos led at every change to run out convincing winners, with Ben Brown and Mason Wood booting nine goals between them against a hapless Tigers defence at Marvel Stadium.

“I think there’s a bit of the threadbare aspect,” Brereton told SEN’s Crunch Time.

“When you see them walk out on to the ground and they walk to their positions, before the first bounce you look at them sometimes and you go: ‘That’s going to be tough’.

“Just at the start of the game you thought: ‘They haven’t got every base covered, Richmond … good teams will be able to exploit this.’”

AFL Hall of Famer Terry Wallace believes certain Richmond players might been a touch complement after their recent run of good form.

“They had won five out of six, you get a few back and all of a sudden you pick up the papers and people are writing articles that we can become premiers again,” Wallace said.

“I just think that they might have had a couple that just took the foot off the pedal marginally. It’s never intentional, but it’s just one of those things that can happen at times.”

Tigers “not up for the fight”

AFL Nation commentator and former Melbourne captain Garry Lyon slammed Richmond for their performance in the second half.

“North Melbourne have made Richmond look like a very ordinary side tonight, and that is really hard to do,” he said.

“They haven’t been up for the fight and they haven’t been up for the aggressive game style that North has demanded of them.

“They’re a shambles the Tigers and it’s all due to the fact that the Roos have brought intent, intensity, willingness to work both ways and it’s too hard for Richmond right now. They’re not that interested.”

Gary Lyon, Mr anti Richmond, his commentating on Richmond games is so biased it is disgraceful.
