Fluffy.
he has trouble communicating what he wants.
The players dont understand.
I might also add that Terry tries to protect games when we are in front( and thats no very often)
-so what happens is they are told to play tempo footy and hold onto the ball an get players back behind the ball.
Likewise when we are behind, doesnt want blow outs.
So bascially we can be winning the game and then he will put the brakes on
So thus you see 2 styles of play during the game, good for 20 minutes, terrible for the rest

Fact or fiction you decide.  Personally I don't know but I dont pretend to know either  ;)

I will add a few more on Fluffy just to be balanced

6. Brisbane stepped up the pressure and our list wasn't up to the task
7. Brisbane have two genuine forward hit up targets who got a roll on

l dont care what anyone thinks of me not renwewing my Richmond membership next year
l buy 6 memberships for our family each year & l refuse to pay any club that displays that type of ugly frustrating football
its a digrace on the professional game in itself the way they play. why not take the game on going forward when losing instead of holding up the ball & time by helping the other team do its job. eff Richmond l had a gutful of the whole club.  its the same poo for so many years & l'm tired of excuses & promises l just want to see them play good skilled football win - lose or draw l dont care
They are poo & not worth watching. Ugly football is not what l like to see. all other clubs breed youngsters & change admin & get it right.
We have all laughed at other clubs & put them down yet we are doing nothing but kidding ourselves
Yes Richmond was once a proud club & won premierships which l'm one of the lucky ones to see,  but l'm tired of hearing what they did in the past cause football is meant to be a greater game after 27 years Richmond display the skills of people who have just started playing football. Even the Irish players display better talent fair dinkum.
l see several games each week & no other team plays like the tigers. 1st quarter perfect & then a few injuries but there was no need to change the style to ugly football
 

Fair chance there will be a new coach though, TM.

Or does that still give you little hope for improvement?

TA l dont care if Wallace was still coaching. its the style of football l'm watching that has me furious. It has not changed under several coaches. will answer later l got to get my son to intra league training,  new champion backmen in the making & good bloodline  ;D

Yes, but what coach do you think has the capacity to change the style and thus would have you back on board?

wallace has absolutely no idea how to counter punch, these has been seen many times but in recent games, melb, sydney, geelong, dogs and now lions he has proved it, we were in winning positions and lost them all

terry do us a favour and quit

I am slowly calming down  :P

Still more angry about the lack of leadership than anything else but I think I've covered that off elsewhere  ;D

When I got home last night I had, had enough. Until yesterday I thought there was still some hope for 2009. Checked out the fixture saw 11 games I thought we could genuinely win (seriously) one of them was yesterdays game. 6 minutes into the final quarter I realised our season was shot.

Mathematically can we still make the eight - yeah we can .. will we? based on yesterday's debacle there aint no chance in hell and that left me not only gutted but not giving a rats about the whole thing

I said to someone today it's not that I am angry it's just right at this moment I just don't care and I not sure when I last felt like that.

However, I am not about to walk away from this Club not today, not next year not ever.

I am sure by mid week that feeling will be gone, hell I am off to Adelaide next Sunday to honour a promise a group us made to a dear tiger friend who we lost last December.. every game in 2009 no matter what that's the promise and it's a keeper !

But for now I am off heading down the coast with the family to enjoy a quiet week and a great holiday
