VFL Wildcard Round - Richmond v Williamstown, Sunday 25 August @ 12.00pm

[Damo]

Poor attitude. If playing at a venue is negatively in your head then no surprise we're losing.

Williamstown finished higher on the ladder that's why it's their home game. If we hadn't lost to two bottom 4 sides in the last month then this would be our home game. So don't sook about the venue.

Who was sooking about the venue?

The skipper

Pathetic and no wonder we copped a hiding

[Diocletian]

Everybody bar maybe Garner has sucked harder than Traci Lords...

Make Nank your senior captain then wonder why poor discipline permeates through the entire club....

I don't think Nank has much to do with our VFL program, that's drawing a long bow.

Do you understand how fish rot? 

Yeah I do

But the 2 programs are very separate and have been for a couple of seasons now. Don't think Nank's leadership has any bearing on the the lack of discipline we are seeing today. That is firmly on the coach and the leaders in the VFL program

They're not truly seperate when there's overlap of players, coaches and they train together....

They train together, that's the AFL blokes playing VFL once a week. The overlap of coaches is AFL development coaches focusing on the AFL listed players playing VFL.

I don't rate Nank as a captain but I just cannot see how he has any impact on the lack of leadership by VFL side today. Actually for the couple of VFL games I've been too this season he wasn't even there

I turned it off at half time, did Dow, Sonsie and Coulthard get chaired off for their last game?

Sonsie's contracted for another year.....Coulthard's probably gone...with all the retirements and impending trades, Dow will probably get another year by default as a placeholder for our 2025 draft picks like Trezise did....
