Just a brainless quarter plus the missed sitters in the first 3 quarters has thrown this away.

Sonsie 2 times in the last trying to kick off the ground too lazy to pick it up and twice didn't even connect with the ball properly   :banghead

That hurt.  A lot.
Not sure what to say really.  Should have won but somehow didn't. 
Was there an element of tanking? 
Think we are just hopeless and unfit.

Hopper, Prestia. Miller.  Great games.

I really liked Ralphsmiths game tonight.

Yep. Summed up that last quarter. Low % dumb crap.

The number of times at stoppages we tried to play volleyball allowing GWS to gain the ball on the outside rather than keeping it in tight and resetting. 
Bombing it long to their loose numbers behind the ball when we needed to control the ball. We just kept feeding their half-backs.
Then once we fell behind, we went sideways and backwards. Geez we had to take risks then to win the game.

Add the dropped marks and fumbles and it was a pathetic last quarter. The mindset wasn't to keep what we were doing and win the game. We panicked and it cost us.

Agree we should have been much more offensive in the last quarter but way too defensive. 
Not sure it's coaching, a losers mentality or the players are just not up to it.

Not that bothered with result, we will be bottom 4 so I'm watching every game wanting to see our kids improve etc.

Thought there were brilliant brilliant signs. Missing too many 4 qtr hardened bodies and some better AFL standard understanding.

We also won that if we have better accuracy in front of goal.

We aren't losing by 10+ goals and looking like a basket case. We are on the right path.
Go Tigers!

Reckon that was a pretty special 3qtrs. We would have learned a heap. Treat that like a win. Important not to have a let down next week vs Swans
"The money might have been better. But, at the end of the day, Richmond showed faith in me. It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

I'm currently at the airport waiting to fly home and I'm gutted.

Should not have lost that game. Tried to protect the lead rather than trying to win.  :banghead

1st three qtrs were great apart from the misses
Could see this coming a mile away.
So predictable
Terrible coaching. Should have subbed Faull off not Trainor. 
Young team or not this is pathetic

No issue with Trainor being subbed he was average.

Hugo was very good tonight not sure why he's copping some whacks

Ditto Sonsie,  it was one of his better games. He wasn't the only one trying to kick it of the ground in the last. Ground was quite dewy in the last

I just hope they are all hurting like hell, they let a major opportunity slip

It's obvious they just ran out of legs.

Shouldn't have lost though.

Bad kicking is bad footy.

It's just where we're at.

Trainor was quiet, but everyone tried their guts out.

Giants beat us with a lot of their stars down and ineffectual, but had enough experience to get the job done.

It’s true to form, we haven’t learnt and are not fit enough to go for 4 quarters. Common for those players who havnt been able to do a full pre season or two.
They will learn and it will also give some belief .
