* 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.
