Tigers vs Crows on the Gold Coast

[TigerTime]

yep so true

many of my cousins live up there

i assume over the past 20 yrs many vic tiger fans have moved to summier pastures up north, not like there has been much to cheer about in vic hey

[Smokey]

i assume over the past 20 yrs many vic tiger fans have moved to sunnier pastures up north,

Yes we have.   

[TigerTime]

 

like i should have

[Ramps]

Last night's crowd was the largest of the three games up there this year. 19th biggest crowd ever at the ground as well for those playing at home. Once again our supporters are our greatest asset.

we have alot of support on the gold coast

we should have relocated there b4 this gc17 came in
 i can live with the gold coadt richmond tigers

rather relocate like the swans did than die like fitzroy

i could handle seeing us play away in vic and lying up at least 6 times a yr to watch us play

Richmond members would never vote for any form of relocation or merger. Playing a game or two in queensland however during the winter months would have been a decent reason to go up there for a couple of weeks.

[TigerTime]

im not in favor of a merger at all, but i would rather move or relocate to the gold coast than die

1st choice  stay in vic
2nd choice relocate to gold coast or tassie as we have good support in both parts
3rd choice die
merger is not an option

I believe the Richmond team that played last night had an average of 46 games per player.

Not all doom and gloom.

Wishful thinking but how good would it be to have Neil Craig at Richmond.

neil craig is the no1 fitness and conditioning man is oz, isnt it amazing at the size difference b/w both teams lasy night
they were monsters compared to us

we have a future just need someone with better conditioning ideas than wallet, he must be the only person beside male fashion designers that love skinny boys

[big tone]

We are so far away from it, it's not funny!!!
Last nights game was horrible to say the least, there were long periods of the game (5 minutes or more) when we could not even touch the footy. And our dispossal was as bad as i have seen in any AFL game ever!!
I must admit i am up for tanking BUT that effort last night was just not Tiger like!!! Sure we have nobody that can hit a target, ever, but if we cannot kick surely we should be able to play a one on one type of footy with tackling and pressure.
We don't even look interested, we are second to the footy and run around like chickins with their heads cut off.
Edwards must have dirty photos of someone high up at our club to still be getting a game! He is by far the worst player i have ever seen play for the RFC, and thats a pretty big mantle to have!
Also, what is with not making a move on Tipitt, Tipitt is an ok player at best but if he is clearly beating Cat, a second game player who got 5 goals kicked on him last week, and with Moore, Thirsty, Mcguane and even Post in our side why not make the move!!!!
Our club is in more trouble than i first thought and those that say our list is in better shape than when Terry took over is kidding themselves.
Until last nights game i thought we were a chance of getting Buckley or somebody good to coach us but they would be mad to go anywhere near us!
Well done Tigers, we are the laughing stock of the AFL. AGAIN!!!

Im rather content with the effort the boys put up.....Although in the end 17 pts was very flattering.

Average height Richmond 187cm Adelaide 187.4
Average weight Richmond 81.8 Adelaide 86.5
Average age     Richmond 22 yr 10 month Adelaide 24 yr 8 month
Average games  Richmond 46 Adelaide 82

Adelaide had 8 players who had played over 100 games.....we had 2.

On paper Adelaide should of won that game by over 10 goals.I dont think last nights result would of scared off too many aspiring coaches.We were out classed by a much better team who have now won 6 in a row.

For those who were at the game, who was the tall, young guy with a bit of a beard having a kick with Morton before the game?

I thought it was the Crows who were playing keepings off.  Apart from the first quarter they practically shut the game down by not attcking.  At least some of our boys took the game on even though it came unstuck at times with poor disposal.

Also, what is with not making a move on Tipitt, Tipitt is an ok player at best but if he is clearly beating Cat, a second game player who got 5 goals kicked on him last week, and with Moore, Thirsty, Mcguane and even Post in our side why not make the move!!!!

 

There was a move, Sylvestor was taken off him in the second half.  Or is half a game too much to give him, maybe after Tippet got one goal the change should have been made.

Yes we are so far away from it, unfortunately we have a very young side and like or lump it have another rebuild in front of us, and to get maximum value from this year must unfortunately lose games to do so.

Laughing stock; hardly I think most people gave credit to a young inexperienced side not throwing the towel in

Agree with all that Matt.  If anything the way we came back and didnt throw the towel in would have impressed some people

neil craig is the no1 fitness and conditioning man is oz, isnt it amazing at the size difference b/w both teams lasy night
they were monsters compared to us

Is it just me or are AFL teams slimming down a bit? Geelong players to me looked much more streamlined than say two years ago. Footywire says they were on avg 1.5 kgs lighter than two years ago, but that might be due purely to team selection. I doubt the individual player weights are very up to date and one needs these to see if there is anything to it. Thought the St Kilda big boys Riewoldt, Kosi, Gardiner etc all looked to be slimmer too.

I wonder if the rule changes making the game faster over the last few years have led teams to do more endurance training.

maybe thats why geelong have slipped back to the pack a bit

its geelongs tough big bastards that keep them winning

we need size god damn it, if players like mguane moore riewoldt etc were playing under craig, they would be monsters by now

we just cannot physically develop our players its been a massive problem at punt rd for 25 yrs plus

tommy hafey would be so embarrassed at the conditioning of our teams

[julzqld]

Yeah Benny stands out more so than the other players in size and muscle
