WP's new favourite whipping boy...still miles better than Houli was at the same age...

Arguably our only remaining bogey side. 1 win from our past 6 meetings and that was by less than a kick. Time to turn it around. We need to win.

True but they’ve only got hold of us once in the time frame.
There are 2 occasions when I think we should’ve won the game 2016 and 2017.
I don’t think the Doggies are especially well coached either.
They are the greatest of down hill skiers but they hard to stop when they get on a roll
Pressure the ball carrier and physically go after Johanisson, English and Bontempelli and the rest of them go to water.
Bit like us in the mid 90’s with Knights and Richo

As I expected.
They are a soft, middle of the road side that goes missing completely when their prime movers are locked down.
Bont, English and Jojo gathered 39 possessions between them at 70%. Pathetic really. We are a team
that plays to a system, they are blokes who play to their individual strengths.

Wonder if people still think Chol is soft and should be dropped?

And no, the one who has that honour got dropped (rightly) this week

Love Marbs. He makes things happen.

Egg is very soft but has great skills.

I’m a fan. Drop Soldo and play CCJ until Nank is back and we’ll lose nothing in the ruck and kick more goals 

[Rampsation]

Great win. On the egg I noticed the previous weeks he likes to kick short a lot of the time. Short 20 metre kicks. Was it the same today?

[Diocletian]

Yes he generally doesn't like to bite off more than he can chew when he's in the defensive half...

"Richmond had 10 players in the clash with 30 or less games experience " .Very pleasing considering I know we have injuries but we won last 2 flags.

[Tiger Khosh]

Awesome game by the boys. Showed hunger and intensity from the get go.

Stack is badly out of form you can see he just doesn’t have his touch fumbling the ball nearly every time. Think they just have to give him a run of a few games and hope he plays his way into form.

Better from both lynch and jack hopefully it’s onwards and upwards from here.

Thought we were looked after by the umpires tonight which is a nice change!

Well called pre-match georgies and HRT . Amazing to produce that quality especially in the first half given half the side were so inexperienced at AFL level. A massive and important win for our season.

Really good win. Broad and Bolton have really stepped up this year. Pickett and Balta were both good. Martin and Grimes were outstanding. I hope Grimes wins the Jack Dyer medal this year. Week in week out he displays enormous courage, skill and determination. i also liked Chol's game. It is good having him in the side.

Not many go as hard as Grimes. He is a legit full speed attacker of the ball. Real inspiring stuff for the backline.
