Cant stand him wont slag the demons tho and there so called star Watts.

Watts is a genuine up and coming star.

It is so silly what people expect of kids. Especially those playing in key positions.

I know one thing is for sure, the RFC doors would be open for this "so called star Watts".

* 6 goals up against a young side that has struggled all year and then lose is woeful. [well der Garry!]

That would sound bad except that there was a 4 to 5 goal breeze howling to our end.  So really only a 1 to 2 goal lead at qtr time to a team that is not far behind us in terms of age/experience.

* Hutchy says right now Richmond are the biggest disappointment of the year and supporters have a right to be irate as the Tigers haven't come on as much as they should have this year.

So where did Hutchy have us finishing before the start of the season?  If he says in the 8, he is bullshitting...most people had the tiges finishing in the bottom 4 to 5 teams.  That is where we will probably finish, meaning we are meeting expectations.  People are getting caught up in the mid season hype where we strung some nice wins together and forgetting the predictions at the start of the year.  Young teams will have the ups and downs and that is exactly what we have had during the year, we can't help it if certain people in the media blow their stack too early.

Oh, and 4 A graders....please.   Maybe Jack and Lids.  But Martin and Cotchin have hardly played any footy and are potential A graders, not bona fide A graders.

We really don't have a backline full stop. We all have high hopes for Grimes after he showed glimpses and Astbury but ultimately but realistically neither have shown anymore than Thursfield did when he arrived on the scene. They need time together to learn how to play as a backline team and at the moment we are still trying to fill holes and find players. Next year will be a learning and establishment year for the backline. I hope they grow together quickly but expect more pain early on in 2012 and at the least.

What a idiot Lyon is . No Backline  maybe due to injurys peanut to ,did he mention no Grimes,Astbury or Moore.And just one forward who is injuried what about Vickery and Griffths what a peanut.Cant stand him wont slag the demons tho and there so called star Watts.

It's why I refuse to watch this show anymore, Lyon is a moron and Hutchy just wants Richmond fans to riot so he has a news article tomorrow.
There's no I in team, but there is 5 i's in Individual Brilliance.

Tonight with us was predictably about Tuck and why he hasn't been getting a game when he comes in and has 32 disposals at 91% efficiency. Caro said the coaching staff doesn't see him as part of the future and pretty much his papers are stamped. It doesn't look good now given how the team is going. Lyon replied then why don't they delist him if he's papers are stamped. Caro said he'll be delisted at the end of the season. Caro also said the second half of our game was the worst footy she's seen in a long while with Geelong not giving a stuff with the game won and Richmond unable to hit a target.

Hutchy then asked Caro for her thoughts on Angus Graham. Caro said Gus isn't part of Richmond's future. Hutchy thought she was being harsh as Gus had 28 hitouts, 11 disposals and so many clearances on the weekend.

Did Caro just say Bailey could end up at Richmond as one of his options open to him?

She mentioned Port and GWS as Bailey has connections at both those clubs and in the middle chucked our name in there.

Sure to be incorrect then. :lol

Lyon is a marshmallow.

Lyon didn't look happy when Thommo ripped into melb about how they will go for another soft new coach for 5 years.

Immediately after Lyons gives the rousing speech about the players having to always have a red hot go to win every match, the next questions refer to the club "tanking" and Lyons says everybody agrees it was the right thing to do at the time. So the club can pick and choose which games to throw. Are the players in on the throwing of games or just the collateral damage?
No there's no hypocracy there Gazza.

Despite winning, Richmond hardly got a mention on any of the footy shows last night.

On FC, our good call/bad call question was: "Is Brett Deledio unfairly maligned?" to which they all agreed he was.

Watched One week at a time, what a joke, no mention of us. Always only talk about Carlton (Walls) and Hawthorn (Quartermain).
