We were well on our way to losing big anyway but they all just gave up after that short turnover and hawks goal

Nice by Trainor in the lead up. Trezise Goal.

Final score

Richmond   0.3    2.4     4.4       6.8-44
Hawthorn   2.5    7.8    11.11   16.13-109

Goals: Campbell, Faull, Green, Mansell, Brown, Trezise.


First quarter we failed to take our chances despite dominating the inside 50s. After that we were totally out-played and out-classed. Too many had poor games. Two weeks in a row it's been a hard frustrating watch.

[WilliamPowell]

We dish up that next week and the Eagles will get their first in

[TigerLand]

Poorest game so far.

I will say I'm impressed we've managed to get 2 wins on the board so far. Compare our draw to GC who have played both Eagles and North already plus the rest of the bottom 6.

Our best footy can be at the likes of Eagles, Roos and Dons. Vs a plucky cocky Hawks was unlikely to get a result. I'm coy on bringing McAuliffe in, I don't mind the idea of him playing a chunk of games in midfield and learning craft. Unless they bring him in and play mid all game, don't bother.

Time for a few blokes to have a spell with the VFL team having the bye. 
McAuliffe, Sonsie, Smillie (even though he's not ready),  Smith for Short.

HRS is a shocker. I would be very suprised if he makes.

MRJ also has had another shocker. see above

Mansell rubbish, did he even lay a tackle?

I would drop all 3

[WilliamPowell]

You'd think we were coming off another 5 day break

Should have been refreshed and up and about

We weren't

[OneEyedRichmond]

Who in their right mind allowed the no.7 to be given to Mansell?

[Diocletian]

We weren't

Well gee wiz I wonder what ever could the issue possibly be?

[Tiger Khosh]

Who in their right mind allowed the no.7 to be given to Mansell?

Why do u keep saying this? What is so prestigious about the no.7 that any player shouldn’t be able to wear it?

Above the shoulders, not switched on and deplorable skill execution, pretty lethal combination I would have thought 

[Damo]

Surely today was Hopper’s fault

If he doesn’t break down , will win the B&F

Where are the haters?
