Weekend ruined

[Broadsword]

There's really nothing to say. It's there for everyone to see. They just don't have their eye on the prize. Soft.

[Broadsword]

Weekend ruined

100%

Stupid f***ing football.

[Tiger Khosh]

What a bunch of clowns.

[torch]

WE TURN TO WATER!

no leaders

dumb decisions

panic

wasteful

can’t kick

no killer instinct

water

how many times can a club lose a match by a goal after being 30-40 points up?

it’s astonishing …

[TigerLand]

Can't recall a worse loss.

We still have not worked out how to defend momentum. Issue was last year. And was glaring round 1.

If we can't fix this then we may as well focus on 2023.

[mightytiges]

Don't just blame George and Aarts I agree there momentum killers , but the whole side stopped working hard enough and thought the game was done no composure or footy smarts and dumb footy chance after chance to got what we deserved.

True. Aside from the second quarter, we were defensively poor. The number of times we didn't put our body behind the ball and allowed the ball out the back or overcommitted at the marking contest allowing Gold Coast players to run free from the mark rather than allowing and standing the mark to hold them up did my head in  .

Just too much dumb panicky footy  .

[Broadsword]

Also Shai Bolton is not the new Dusty for us. Not even close. he doesn't have that Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, Ronnie O'Sullivan ice running through his veins like Dusty does.

[crackertiger]

In my view there are big question marks for our two Captains..... They are not leading by example

[Broadsword]

Honestly I don't even want us to make finals this year because if we served up a loss like that in a final that mattered against a big side it would break my heart.

[pmac21]

Worst I've felt after a loss for a long time.  Worst thing is I knew it was going to happen from about 10min in to 3rd quarter. 

We lack killer instinct. 

Pathetic loss and now have to cop all the poo for a week from mates and oppo supporters. 

I hope it stings the whole club. 

[mightytiges]

Got to feel for WP, Julz, Frankie and other OERites who had to watch that debacle live at Metricon  .

Right now I just feel a mixture of numbness and being ticked off  .

[camboon]

No effort in the last quarter expecting others to put the hard work in. Very disappointing by our team tonight who will be lucky to beat North this week

[one-eyed]

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

If we we reviewing ourselves internally regularly then the penny hasn’t yet dropped, because the ill discipline and easy goals left out there are killing this season slowly by a thousand cuts and we are not learning the lessons we would normally. Beyond disappointing

I always have defended this club, even stupidly so but this is the worse loss I have seen in a very long time. Picking players who are so limited in Aarts and Castagna, over kids of quality like Sonsie, Clarke, Baker etc. It is fitting Aarts and Geroge created 24pt turnaround

All very easy shots…all missed. Scoreboard pressure is everything
