Richmond vs Fremantle @ the MCG --- Round 8, 2024

[Buddysucks]

Miller got whacked over the shoulder and then dragged to the ground. Then somehow with 2 Freo guys wrestling him, Freo gets the free…

Don't blame the umpires.. Richmond Became their bitch over a decade ago, and the club gracefully allowed it to carry on

Final Score

Richmond   1.3    1.7    4.11      6.13-49
Fremantle   3.4    6.8    8.11    15.13-103

Goal: Lefau 2, Ralphsmith, Sonsie, McIntosh, Mansell.


Aside from a patch during the 3rd qtr, we were as woeful as the pathetic umps. Hard to find a positive from today. We got smashed pretty much all over the park.

That's patch we had was thanks to Freo for taking a breather. Nothing to do with us

Team selections guaranteed freo a win.

Lefau is the only reason I look forward the the footy at the moment.

Dirty match for us …

burn this …

Yze needs to spray them for their poor pressure in 2nd and 4th …

[Diocletian]

Agree but he needs to take some of the responsibility for his questionable selections & poor tactics....even a bush coach knows when your 4-5 down with a depleted side and only quarter to play you man up....though most coaches would work out far earlier than that you need to at least tighten things up when your oppos taking uncontested marks just for fun... allowing 124 uncontested marks for the match is inexcusable....

[hyperlite]

Couldn't see many positives other than getting games into the kids. The wing kick to fwd 50 is our Achilles heel. Alot is due to having eff all tall fwds to kick it to. You can't expect us to be winning games when our goals are generated from small fwds and/or first year players. Lefau has a real crack but there's nothing else for the opposition to.worry about other than dusty. Ryan/Pearce looked like Rance/grimes of 2017.

We really need to nail these next 2 drafts with some quality and/or recruit some bigger bodies because the current crop get pushed around and bullied way too easily.

Worst place to be in the current game is a forward for the Tigers. The delivery is atrocious 

[georgies31]

Gez our skills and kicking is pathetic and I'm talking this coming from premiership players to.

I'm in a foul mood so any baiting and trolling will be removed

And keep it up and I'll be handing out stirkes

Yes I am that peeved

Report posts and then abuse mods for not removing stuff, then this what you get

As I said the other day be careful what you wish for you may not like the final result

I’ll start by saying , I have NEVER reported a post in all my years on the forum .. typical woke sooking 2024 Aussie behaviour .. the country is fried and to say it’s gone soft is an understatement

The posts of mine that were reported obviously and therefore removed , I stand by every single word . It wasn’t trolling or baiting , I meant them and wish I could repost

Maybe it’s time to walk away for a bit , because for me , if someone is willing to give it, but can’t cop it back and sooks it up and acts like an 8yo dibber dobber , then stuff that .. and I know which sook continuously reports my posts like a slow witted infant

So I’ll save you the hassle WP

And for those abusing the mods , weak stuffing dogs

If you don’t appreciate the efforts then stuff off

The only question i have here is what forwards.
Poor entry or not if we just had some goal kicking natural forwards actually playing we would be much better.
