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

[Damo]

It’s embarrassing that we are being flogged by a bunch of tradies.

Ignorant comment

The salary cap for standalone clubs is double what the aligned clubs have

Willy are a well run club with plenty of coin and good on them

[WilliamPowell]

Reemind again why Davidud is considered a top draft prospect by some this year? 

I could ask the same about why El Nour should be considered for a rookie spot

Yes, well run, well managed and well coached

The majority of their players are far superior to our VFL listed players and perhaps some of our AFl listed players

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?

One of our VFL-listers [edit: fill-in skipper]. On camera when interviewed on the boundary, he said the VFL needs to look at where they play finals in future.

No attack on the ball, can’t stick a tackle ,lack of effort ,  we should have an award for the least determined , another disappointing effort and embarrassment , l

Richmond        0.2       2.6-18

Just dumb and woeful as we've all already said. They conditions just expose all the major and massive flaws in the so-called gameplan we play at both levels.

Probably because unlike the apparent second coming of 2008 Richo meets Dougie Hawkins, Davidud, he's at least demonstrated good form against good sides in the past....you know like right before that injury he's only just got back from....

He's been back just on a month now

He's one of the leaders, one of VCs IIRC, he needs to stand up and like most of his teammates hasn't.

As for Davidson, I've actually backed your assessment.  Great against the mediocre sides awful against good sodes

Breeze has apparently died down a touch according to the commentators.

Coulthard gets the first of the 3rd (into the breeze).

However, Willy get it straight back via another dumb handball/turnover by us.

Rich    3.6-24
Will   11.8-74

[Diocletian]

The Machine aside, no-one loves to see Dow getting plenty of it more than our opponents....


Blight is another Silvester....

[Diocletian]

That Ellison prick always carves us up...

[one-eyed]

Over 10 goals down. 25 - 87
