[Francois Jackson]

I have no words

We lost top 4 tonight but we will make the eight and then its a 4 week season. Anything is possible.

Too many injuries hurting us now sadly. We've lost our ruck division tonight on top of Dusty, Lynch, Cotch, Balta with Lambert a week to week proposition. That's a third of our best 22. Plus we don't have the depth like we did to cover them  .

This one has shocking loss written all over it.

Told ya. 

[MintOnLamb]

Absolute umpiring tragedy and RFC disgrace

[FooffooValve]

A lot of hyperbole on here tonight. I didn't tip us, and expected us to lose tonight, mainly because of our outs. The devastating nature of the loss brings out some stupid statements, but I reckon we were always a better chance of knocking off Freo and Brisbane at home than winning this one. Now, with the extra injuries, we are not even guaranteed of winning next week. A season can change like the wind

The dust settling, still a very hard loss to take.

The worst result from today is injuries to Lynch and Nank. Lions had a mare vs Dees. Dee's also embarrassed at GMHBA. It's one of those seasons like 2016 that whoever is in form and fit will win it this year. So to have the outs we have plus two next most important players out. That's the worst result rather than taking 0 points for the game.

Need to get our best players on the park at the right time. Our depth isn't good enough, as shown today.

We can't blame the umps when we miss sitter after sitter in front of goal .

Weekend ruined

The kind of loss that makes you not want to go to work Monday, touch a newspaper or watch TV.

Three tweets that accurately sum up today  .

Why are our leaders doing dumb, undisciplined things? The Short 50m penalty, the Grimes push in the back that cost a goal.. inexcusable. It’s the Richmond we’ve come to know in 2022, can’t hold a lead!! Disgraceful, no excuses

Hitting someone off the ball, giving away a goal and getting suspended in the last 5 minutes of a game we had in the bag

Yep, Floss' stupidity made worse by today's loss.

2022 - the year of the brainfades for us

Guttered

[WilliamPowell]

It was embarrassing

Players should be embarrassed and ashamed 

Worst loss of the season. Unforgivable to lose like that. The last 5 minutes was amateur
