Richmond vs Brisbane @ the 'Gabba --- Round 16, 2023

[mightytiges]

I reckon we've kicked it into another player 8 times tonight and every time it's rebounded Brisbane's way. It's just one of those nights where nothing goes right  .

Broad to get three weeks for Ah Chee running his head into Broads shoulder

[Diocletian]

Like how the ball magically transforms into a bar of soap whenever we touch it.

Training drill stuff for Brisbane .


Brisbane has kicked 14.9.93 from intercepts tonight, its second highest result in this area this season. The Lions 47 midfield intercepts have yielded 10.6.66.

We've been soft and non-competitive tonight.

[mightytiges]

We actually got a goal (Clarke).

Rich  7.9-51
Bris 20.14-134

Given it's a Richmond player and the MRO makes it up as they go, that could actually happen  .

[mightytiges]

Our worst loss since R23, 2016. That was prior to the dynasty.

Thank gawd it's over.

It's called not turning up to play and getting a lesson from the top 4 opposition that did.

[The Machine]

That was just awful.

[wayne]

Ah, you know what it's like going back to work after a week off.  Our draw means percentage doesn't matter, I wasn't expecting a win tonight.

Don’t care, proud of our boys tonight, baker gets his head taken off x 2, no free kick, shocking umpires all night, a lot of things could have gone either way, ….

[MintOnLamb]

Ashcroft is pretty special , can we get him ….

[WilliamPowell]

Did something tonight I never do

I left early. Walked out after the Taylar Young goal

Pathetic,  insipid display

[Diocletian]

The rugby try-cum-tunnel ball assist to Daniher - another Tyler Time special....
