The only 3 games in 3 years I've taken my daughter to. Lucky she's only 5 and doesn't understand how bad those games actually were.  :rollin

Disgraceful - throwback to the depths of Spud & Wallet - just need one the Swanettes players to accuse us of giving up. :thumbsdown

Shocking day at the office. Positives are, we didn’t get blown out. Probably would have last year. Yze said in the presser the 2nd and 3rd quarters were our worst this year, so at least he isn’t sugar coating it. Sydney and GWS are 2 games we should’ve won imo. If we could kick straight theyre both wins, probably north game too, so that would bring us to 6-7 for the year, would be stoked with that. Clearly the game plan etc is working when it clicks, it’s literally just poor finishing letting us down.

I think the bye comes at a good time. Reset, give the young boys a rest which they clearly BADLY need. Get Sims and Faull to kick a lot of goals at training.

Second half of the year still has lots of excitement to come. Would expect Smillie, Hotton and Alger all to debut. In fact Alger should come in for Green immediately.

Absolutely stuffn disgraceful.
Effort and discipline don’t require talent or experience
Neither on display today

Coaching was an embarrassment

What kind of club drinks their bathwater on a 3 and 9 record?

A joke. We are back to 2004 Frawley.
"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”

Definitely one of the worst games I have been to in a long time. Played like wooden Spooner. Definitely missing class of Lalor.
 Senior players particularly in second quarter were woeful.  Brown's kicking stood out amongst terrible kicking from Balta  Broad and Vlastuin. Swans are not much chop. We were so lucky we were not playing a good team.

If yze doesn’t put someone on Blakey then you know we aren’t serious about winning

Said this pretty early on… Blakey was just about best on

Only caught Q2 & Q3. IMO, forget about goalkicking, game was lost in the midfield. I can excuse the forwards given how inexperienced they are and the defence given how much pressure they are generally under with continue F50 entries, but days like today where the midfield goes missing is inexcusable. There are no kids in that midfield bar Sonsie and Macualiffe. We have Nank, Prestia, TT and Hopper and for them to not be able to muster anything btw them after Q1 is hard to fathom. If that’s what we’re gonna get from experienced mids, we may as well put Lalor, Smillie, and Hotton through there once they’re available.

Game was over at half time IMHO

Reason being the lack of intensity and effort, throw in the shocking miss by Sims after the siren, heads dropped and it was a sure sign for me. Then we have the start of the 3rd and it was all over.

I stayed until the end but simply gave up caring

Most pathetic display of the season

Faull and Sims misses absolutely killed us.

Whole team needs a rest and a rocket up the arse.

As did Lynch going for goal in first quarter when we had two players in a better position.

I feel like this is the 100 point loss that I expected us to have had by now.

Same, said something earlier in this thread

Beginning of the year I was expecting an "effort" like yesterday somewhere in the first 6 to 8 weeks. But thought with the improvement we'd seen we were going to avoid it but although it wasn't a 100 point thumping it might as well have been.
