Richmond vs Gold Coast @ the M.C.G. --- Round 24, 2024

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Kosi almost makes Ty "SideshowBob" Vickery look good.


He might be just be our worst forward since Hamspud.

It's mindboggling 

What do you suggest?

[mightytiges]

And that sums up our 2024. Shooting ourselves in the foot.

[Tiger Khosh]

That was such a bad kick by short. Cost us a goal and any small chance we may have had.

[mightytiges]

We're +13 inside 50s and yet almost 5 goals down because of cluelessness .

[mightytiges]

Frees since 1/2 time:  5 - 15

Frees since 1/2 time:  5 - 15

Make that 5 - 17

Thank gawd season 2024 is over. Today summed up how crap we are especially up forward and our mid-F50 connection. Once again we struggle to only 10 goals. Add our lack of basic skills and failure to protect the defensive side of contests. Anyway, bring on the draft! 

[Tiger Khosh]

Thought the last 1.5 qtrs was a blast to watch at the ground. Marlion really gave us a spark and the crowd was all over it. The argey bargey was great too.

Totally agree. 1st qtr was good

But the last qtr And a half where they took the game on was great to watch

Where's it been?

[camboon]

Some of our kids lack the required attack on the ball, some need to watch Picket as an example
And this zoning crap is a failure , we are too loose on the pick up , I know I keep saying it but can’t believe we are lucky to even bring the ball to ground in the forward line , we need to invest in a couple of key forwards in the draft ,  Lynch is a bonus not an expectation to play.
To buy in an average forward like Kosinski is not the answer
We need a tackling coach , only some senior players can stick a tackle , it’s so sad.

Perfect result …. Was a little nervous we might actually win and lose pick 1 .

Looking forward to adding 5-6 quality kids to our list , and a few more in 2026 .

[Diocletian]

Despite all the "yay pick one!" coping jokes, the spoon is an embarrassment and a stain on club's history & never a thing to celebrate or wish for - we all mocked the Toffs when they sung our song after the McMahon goal and how that worked out for them....historically pick 1 is as good a guarantee that you won't win a flag....hopefully we at least bid on Ashcroft so it's moot...

[mat073]

I don’t think winning the spoon has the same stigma attached to it as it used to be .

What value is there in winning meaningless games at the end of the year….like West Coast .

We will have a bunch of new toys to get excited about soon .

Name one club that began success and a dynasty from winning the spoon and getting so many wonderful toys to play with..... ZERO!
