Richmond vs Port Adelaide @ the MCG --- Round 13, 2021

[Tiger-time]

Tiger pride!!!

[Broadsword]

Butters strapped up and back on--immediately has his head driven into the MCG turf.

If he develops CTE in 17 years at the age of 38, will the AFL reopen the concussion case?

[Broadsword]

Bolton needs to pull his head in. This is turning into Castagna's 2019 GF.

Not stuffing good enough. All flair no care. Do the basics son.

[Broadsword]

That was one of the most concerning wins I've seen.

More wrong than right.

[Buddysucks]

Yep, Bolton and a few need a big boot in the arse.
No more Soldo, Lynch back next week and Balta to second ruck.

[Rampsation]

Should of won by 40 points. Lots to work on.

[cub]

Nothing game
Pushing it up hill to beat that cheating scum next week on that effort!

[The Machine]

Thank god for Fridge, Bakes and Pickett and maybe McIntosh….the rest

[Tiger Khosh]

Take the 4 points and run. Was a crapfest for the most part. Not many players I’d give a passing mark to tonight.

[Andyy]

What a crap game to watch.

Thermals on and freezing my anus off.

Thankfully not leaving angry!

[mightytiges]

Did our best try and lose the game  . Should rename us the butchers  . Our backline saved us from ourselves. Too much casual lazy crap from those forward of the ball  .

[mat073]

The best and worse of Richmond tonight .

That final Bolton miss was very very poor.

[Tigeritis™©®]

The players flop over like soccer players these days instead of staying on their feet and winning the football.

That's what happens when you introduce a million new rules and adjudicate them with the officiousness and panache of a parking inspector who has had his imagination gene surgically removed.

You encourage soft, poo behaviour.

In another 10 years, Grima Wormtongue will be the ultimate AFL footballer.

Bank the win move on after quarter time we we're totally different team horrific our skills and composure school boy stuff we would been blown away against a top side.Thought selfishness crept into Bolton and Jack at times and sometimes we we're to cute.Besides Baker who stepped up out of our core group the rest went walkabout.Fade outs happen again and is a big worry.

Coaching was great and selection committee The move of Gibcus and Balta should have come early ,Soldo playing was a mistake and both him and Nank getting beaten by part time rucks ,Tarrant was horrible for 3 qtrs better last qtr , but gez he looks a liability at stages rather Miller get games .Not seeing the love for Hugo poor skills at times.
