Worst games of footy you've ever seen in your life?
« on: August 02, 2009, 04:52:47 PM »
Today's would be hard to top  :help  :banghead.

I was waiting for the Benny Hill theme to be played over the PA. I know the breeze was strong but if you didn't laugh at the sheer football comedy on display from both sides you would've done your head in.

Last weeks derby in the West was awful....

listening to it on the Radio (6pr) it was quite comical when one of the comentators stormed out of the box in disgust.

Today....Well many people are going to say Bucks made the right decision.

Actually your too kind, both sides were trying to win. I know it's hard to confront but that actually was the case.

I agree that the game was crap, with 1 minute to go i was completely devvo and we should not have won! But we did and we are learning different ways of winning instead of throwing in the towell! the young guys have had another game that will add heaps to their learning!Blingers is improving too after being caned endlessly by some and Jordy pinged one after the siren to shake a few demons off! We can a lot  away from that win whereas a loss would just reinforce that we have losers for 27 years!

I would of thought is was one of the poorest efforts from a Richmond team for a long long time

Until the AFL change the rules we will never know when we are tanking and when we are really that bad! It is so frustrating yelling for a team when they may not be out there trying their best to win! :banghead

ok well apart from st.kilda this year most sides formline does tend to oscillate from one week to another...in any case I thought the thread was about WORST game ever and your extrteme remark it was worst we had played in quite a while...both melodramatic in the extreme...perhaps more fitting if describing Geelong :shh

Yep today was bad but I have a few others.

Our draw against the Lions in 2007
How about the Geelong game at the Dome in 2007

Many games under Spud in 2003-04.

Anyone here remember the Swear Meter oops I meant Roar Meter at the G? :lol
