Rawlings will be a guest on Ch 7's AFL Gameday show tomorrow (Sunday) morning.

Rawlings along with Royal and Cambo were also in the stands last night at the 'G watching the Hawks vs Crows. Jade enjoying his box of chips all to himself lol.

Nick Maxwell didn't hold back criticising the RFC today on the show. He basically called Richmond (mentally) soft for coming out and being more interested in going for the man and not the ball and starting the argy bargy and behind the play stuff knowing they (the Pies) couldn't defend themselves given they are going to play finals.

Rawlings later on said it was disappointing we didn't show that effort at the footy for four quarters as we did during the scuffle.

Nick Maxwell criticises Richmond's approach
AAP | August 16, 2009 02:15pm

 NICK Maxwell has criticised Richmond players for showing more interest in scuffling than winning the hard ball during yesterday's clash.

Tigers Jake King and Tom Hislop were both reported for striking during Collingwood's commanding 22.20 (152) to 8.11 (59) victory at the MCG.

The only real moments of drama in the match occurred off the ball, with Jake King reported for striking Magpies star Alan Didak in the second term.

The incident left Didak crouched over in pain for several seconds and sparked a chaotic melee between large numbers of players from both sides.

Hislop was reported in the final term, for elbowing Collingwood's Shane O'Bree in the back of the head.

Maxwell labelled the Tigers "pretty average" for their approach.

"That's the way they decided to go, but I thought it was pretty average considering we couldn't fight back and considering they weren't prepared, a few of their blokes, to put their head over the ball when it counted," Maxwell said on Seven's AFL Gameday.

He suggested it would be unfair if a lot of the Magpies ended up copping fines for involvement in a melee.

"There were certain instigators that were a part of that and they're the ones that should be fined, not the ones that were trying to break it up," he said.

Richmond caretaker coach Jade Rawlings acknowledged he would have preferred to see the Tigers show the passion they displayed in the second quarter scuffle throughout the match.

"You'd like to think that the intensity at that particular stage of the game would be able to be spread across four quarters," he said.

Incidents involving Didak and Travis Cloke could also be looked at by the match review panel.
Didak laid a high bump on Richmond's Mark Coughlan, when Coughlan was bent over the ball during the second term, the incident occurring soon after the Magpie's clash with King.

Nearing halftime, Richmond defender Luke McGuane appeared to accuse Cloke of biting his hand while the pair were wrestling on the ground.

But when directly asked by the officiating umpire about the allegation McGuane declined to make a complaint.

Cloke denied having bitten McGuane.

"We had a bit of a wrestle, the ball was in the area, he tried to push my face a little bit and the finger slipped into my mouth and that was about it," Cloke told Nine's Sunday Footy Show.

"It wasn't as if I wanted a bit of a nibble on his hand or anything like that, it's not in my nature to go out and bite someone."

Dane Swan did throw a couple at Kingy on the bottom of the pack.

I'd give Tommy Hislop another year just for giving Maxwell a taste of his own medicine.
