They Club has sent out pamphlets today in the mail. Dimma wanting us to turn up and be the 19th man and Benny Gale wanting us to break the all-time H/A crowd record between us and Carlton of 87,043. I think that is wishful thinking after the loss against Melbourne and our recent form of one win in four games.
I know Carlton is seen as our greatest rival based on our past but a home game against Carlton would be one of the ones I would avoid like the plague for raising money towards the FTF. Supporters aren't going to be keen to part with their money after sitting through a 10-goal hiding :P. The Club should have chosen a softer game which we have/had some chance of winning such as against Essendon.

Jamison out.
Hopefully Riewoldt and Vickery can blitz.

Ok, lets call a spade a spade here, we have no chance in this game.......now in saying that I have been wrong in the past.. ;D.....I sure as hell hope I am wrong again but geez the way we are travelling......well, actually the way we are travelling we may just win....we are so inconsistant at the moment who knows!!!!
Carlton by 55 points if they kick straight!!

Unfortunately, I think you're right. With the whole build up to the game, I'm still haunted by the "100k at the G" campaign in 2008, and I reckon we're set for a case of deja-vu. Would love nothing more than to beat this arrogant Blues mob and silence their idiot fans.

Not confident, actually only game where I was confident was the Freo one

That would be a disappointing turnout for the FTF game, on a Saturday arvo at the G when, despite the loss on the weekend, we are still in the race for the 8.

72k would be a great result.

AFL site predicting Carlton by 37 points.
SUMMARY
Both of these teams hit road-blocks last weekend. The Tigers were knocked over by a resurgent Melbourne before a big crowd at the MCG, while the Blues suffered a shock defeat at the hands of West Coast at Etihad Stadium.
Richmond made some terrible skill errors against the Demons, handing them numerous goals in the process. It all added up to a disappointing 27-point loss, which left the Tigers four points and plenty of percentage outside the top eight.
On the positive side, Jake King returns from suspension this weekend. His tough tackling in the forward line has been invaluable this year.
Carlton needs to get back on the winners' list if it is going to stay in the top four. The Blues lacked their usual intensity against the Eagles. Many of their best players were down on form, including Chris Judd, who was held to only 17 possessions.
Making matter worse for Brett Ratten, his best defender, Michael Jamison, had to be subbed out of the game after suffering a knee injury. He has since had surgery and will be sidelined for a month.
When Carlton and Richmond last met, in round one, the Blues raced out to an early lead before Jack Riewoldt dragged the Tigers back into the contest. Carlton eventually prevailed by 20 points, but the game will have given Damien Hardwick's men plenty of hope that they can turn things around this time.
QUESTION MARKS
What's wrong with Richmond star Jack Riewoldt? The 2010 Coleman medallist has been out of sorts in the past month, and last weekend he kicked only one goal on Melbourne's All Australian defender James Frawley. Questioned about Riewoldt's fitness after the game, Hardwick said he was "just tired and sore like the other guys" and would "battle on".
How will Carlton cover the loss of Michael Jamison? The gun backman would most likely have lined up on Riewoldt, but that job is now expected to fall to Simon White, who is set to be recalled from the VFL.
PREDICTION
Carlton by 37 points.

Waite back this week for Carlton. He has only about two top games per year yet they are usually against us :-\ :scream.

maybe we can find someone to re-pay Waite's kick to Luke round 1 early in the game to get him subbed out again ;D
-
Opposition coaches now needing to focus on Vickery as well....
Brett Ratten said stopping Richmond's reigning Coleman Medallist Jack Riewoldt, who kicked six goals in a losing side against the Blues in the opening round, would be important.
But Ratten said controlling emerging Tigers tall forward Tyrone Vickery would be just as crucial, with the youngster having become equally pivotal to Richmond's attack in recent weeks.
"What Richmond have done, moving Jack out a little bit further and allowing Vickery to play out of the goal square has allowed him to grow as a player," the Blues coach said.
"He's playing really good football and the balance seems really good for them.
"So if you put too many eggs in the basket of stopping Jack, does Vickery get out and start to hit the scoreboard."

Advice to footy patrons - rail line closures
Jun 29, 2011
The temporary closure of the Ballarat, Bendigo and Sydenham rail lines from Saturday July 2 to Sunday July 17 will cause significant disruption and longer travel times for people heading to AFL matches at the MCG.
The matches that will be affected are Richmond v Carlton (July 2), Collingwood v Hawthorn (July 3), Essendon v Richmond (July 9), Collingwood v North Melbourne (July 10) and Carlton v Collingwood (July 16).
The Regional Rail Network has advised that buses will replace trains on weekends along the Sydenham line between Watergardens and Footscray rail stations, stopping at all stations.
From Footscray, passengers catch a special line train through the City Loop or a Werribee or Williamstown line train from Footscray station straight to Southern Cross and Flinders Street stations (where they can change trains to Richmond or Jolimont).
After the footy, patrons should head back to Southern Cross where a special Sydenham, Werribee or Williamstown line train will travel back to Footscray station and then a replacement bus from Footscray to Watergardens, stopping all stations.
Journey times on the Sydenham line will be extended by up to 30 minutes.

I just had a phone call from Jack Riewoldt....
l just got a call about 20 minutes ago, started with theme song then some recorded rubbish l hung up, rang the club & told them to ease off on the rubbish. Fair Dinkum the club is bordering on spam & harrassment. l told them, no stuffing more l had enough. Its just so over the top.
Produce on the field & they might get more from thier members response. l dont site in reserve seating as l'm a MCC member so they wouldnot know if l was there or not. l get more spam & harrassing calls from this club than any other l'm a member.
Stop wasting club money on all this rubbish & asking the members to pay for it with a stupid FTF :banghead

Sportal tipping the Blues by 35
WE THINK:
The Blues have won the past six contests between these teams by an average of 10 goals. The margin in their most recent meeting in Round 1 this season was tighter, just 20 points, but Carlton's inaccuracy - 14.20 to 13.6 - was a major factor. Jack Riewoldt scored 6.1 for the Tigers that night and, in the absence of the injured Michael Jamison, will pose a serious threat despite a nagging hip complaint that's taken the edge off his recent form.
Damien Hardwick was scathing about the Tigers' failure to cope with Melbourne's pressure last Saturday. Expect Carlton to take that pressure to another level. While still well below full-strength the Blues will benefit from the likely return of Jarrad Waite and Mitch Robinson. Determined to rebound strongly from last Sunday's loss to the Eagles, they won't drop two in a row. It's Carlton by 35 points.

No. Do I think they aren't so stupid to miss the bleeding obvious and make amends for what we say publicly? No. Do I think that all clubs are just a tad smarter than the average supporter and use the media to the maximum advantage? Absolutely. Get a grip for God's sake.

A massive difference in age and experience between us and the Blues. That's why I don't think today will be pretty to watch :help. Sadly we are going to have to wait 2-3 years before we can start getting some of our own back :-\.

-
About to leave for the game.
Have a very bad vibe.
Here's a 5 point summary of what I think will happen:-
Carlton will smash us with centre clearances, starting from the first bounce.
Carltons half backs will kill us on the rebound. Carazzo and Scotland will have a field day.
Inability to combat Carltons zone/press, resulting in turnovers.
Our defense will leak like a 80 year old bladder.
The likes of Hislop, Farmer and Thursfield will look lost.
Margin:- Carlton by 60-80pts.
-
Very disappointing crowd - hope theres a big q outside
-
Ugh. Not looking good. Carltons skill level just another level above.
All indications point to a raping.
-
Griffiths copped a heavy knock, off the ground

I dont reckon thats the big problem for me its the fact that our bottom 6 or 7 players arent up to league standard. Thats all.

Given the "hype" this has been an ordinary effort so far. Let the supporters down again. All you'd want is an effort and intensity at the ball, the man and contest. Instead, I'm watching 18 y&b witches hats

Reminds me of our rd 20 encounter last year.....blues by 89pts
We are years away from beating Carlton.
-
Our Bottom 6 to 8 players of this 22 are VFL/VFA standard players. The sad point is that blokes like Jackson, Farmer and afew others will be here next year so nothing will change. Grigg and Houli being exposed today again as well. Anyway anyone know when the draft is this year? ;D

Maybe this is the maximum effort that they can produce. In life there are people who are driven to succeed and there are others who are professional bludgers. Some of the latter category would probably like to be in the first category but even with their maximum personal effort, they would still be considered bludgers and not up to it. They mean well but they just dont have it in them. Opposite to that is someone like Robinson, he cant play for poo, but he is driven to succeed, his blood boils for the contest, our blokes would be better off going to nightclubs and picking up easy women. ;D

Not really but to watch insipidness is not on. Gutless, Insipid, Gutless, Fraudulent ... what would you call our performance today. Id say all those things with Disgraceful chucked in for good measure.
And....... :whistle, this is where we are at ffs, really, we need to finish 14th - 16th to get the picks and we need to trade half the crap out of our side. We need players with balls.

How many years do you want us to stay on the bottom collecting picks. Id actually like to see us in finals before I go on the old age pension in about 25 years.

Hardwick should capuano afew this week IMHO. Just sack them because most of these bludgers arent worth anything on the trade table anyway.
-

Here! Here!
Richmond people are happy to give money but we wont give money to be taken advantage by a bunch of no hopers and bludgers. Show us you deserve the money RFC and we will donate, until then you aint getting anymore from me. Just disgraceful.

Dustin Martin is lazy and has a big head.
Jackson is a pedestrian. Weak effort. He will also be cited for punching Robinson off the ball, and will get 3 weeks minimum. Should be kept out of the firsts for the rest of the year.
Herslops = useless as t@s ona
Grigg sits down to pee.
Newman where were you.
Thursfield is a walking Herpe
Deledio, cotch, riewoldt, king at least tried, most of the time.
The rest can go eff themselves.

If he does then I agree with you completely, should be banned from the 1sts for the rest of the year.

:lol
you dont take losse wil do you ox?
pretty much agrre with you though, although i though farmer was far from our worst today.
cant understand how martin can be so strong with the ball in hand but is such an insipid tackler. needs to improve his intensity when the opposition are in possession.
-
it wont make a difference,he'll always do it.
Just play him and expect 17 games a year from him
-
filthy carlton supporters all look like they're related.
Hughes,Maher,Lane - all fell out of the same rotten arshole.
Love to punch the idiot out of of andi maher

:lol
-
stuffing Lanes. I would happily get my anaconda out to shut her up. stuffing stuffing stuff
-
I'm not upset that Jackson hit Robinson. I'm only upset that Robinson got back up.
-
who else wishes andi maher would come up to them in the street and say,"i want to fight you,please" ?

I will probably get shot down by some here but seriously Dimma needs to have a good hard look at himself as well, he and Daly are infatuated with the NFL and have changed the coaching structure whereby Leppa looks after defensive ball movement wherever the ball is on the ground, Daly looks after offensive ball movement etc etc which is exactly what goes on in the NFL. This practice is ludicrous.
Our game plan is to switch into the corridor from the back half when we should be taking the ball around the boundary as far as we can, we go thru the corridor at all times under pressure or not, cough the ball up repeatedly and any wonder we are scored against so heavily. No defender would stand a chance with this game plan.
Dimma wake up and smell the roses, this ain't the NFL ffs, ditch and return to conventional coaching methods.

I forgot one thing, throw the bloody kitchen sink at Malthouse.....we know he can coach....i am having my doubts over Dimma
-
Rather than focus on the way we have played and those players who disappoint us time and time again.
I'll save it for other posts.
I as a fan want to take this stab at the club.
Tuesday was the Cocktail Function today was billed as the FTF game where fans who love the club have invested their money to get us out of debt. That effort today was awful for every fan who has dug deep.
Any other club in the league who would have a day like this would have given their all knowing how important it is for them. That effort was woeful. It was galling to the fans and it was cancerous. It was so Wallace Frawley Gieschen Walls era type of effort. As a fan I am gutted by that slop and against Carlton after we were promised on Tuesday night that we would give it all.
All our hard work this year so far has not gone to waste but our credibility has been soured and the negativity will be back in the print media and on the back pages unless Essendon get a flogging from the Cats.
Time for the club to focus on getting the team right and not worrying about making celebrities of Jack, Jako, Lids and what not. Then maybe when we are having a crack we can pay off this debt.
Tiges I love you but this was akin to watching Apocalypse Now. I feel so desensitised to this after going through what I have gone through yet the occassion of the day has compelled me to give the club as a whole a real spray.
Very very very disappointed in the Richmond Football Club today.
Club must now surely focus on repaying the fans and the sponsors after this effort and show some pride in themselves the jumper the club and those who make the effort and make the time for them. It's not back to the drawing board the journey has started and we have a long way to go but this effort must be used as motivation and never ever be repeated.
p.s. No more phone messages and media and b/s like that. Get your on field behinds right get consistency get active get dirty and get competitive 22 games a year and then just then we may be able to wipe off more debt and give the fans something to shout about.
Disgusting.

Al we were poo.
Just smack Maher Ox if you get the chance and then lets give Giesche a third labotomy just for the sake of it.

fully agree tucker, just that i think id do better punching that fat turd geish than any of the players ;D

guys i have listened to umpring decisions hurt us for the better part of this year. Facts are it has made zero difference to the result of any game we have lost this year
We are not good enough
It makes me laugh when i see the likes of Sticks Houlilan, Betts and Robinson riding our players to the ground, then i glance over and see Edwards and the big pear Browne with hands on hips and cant get anywhere near Blues players or even attempt to tackle them.
We are not even a guarantee of making finals next year.
-
more than just riding tackles daniel.
the last few weeks in particular the opposition constantly get numbers to the contest. last year this was something we actually developed and improved on, yet in this area we seem to have gone backwards by miles

2013 the earliest Dan and that's if we recruit well this year and next.
KPP backman ruckman and a heap of mids.
Plus Dimma getting rid of 8-10 each year.
At least this loss reinforces this rather than a false dawn with a 8th -10th finish if last week hadn't already done so.

Great post Tuckerbag.
I left today when Kade Simpson outmarked Will Thursfield. People can call me whatever they like for that, but my brother who plays in the ammos had a big game today and I am glad I made it in time for the second half. I came to a realisation today that it meant way more to me than the utter rubbish that Richmond produced today and have been producing for the last 30 years.
Today is one of those 'send in your membership return to sender' days. I might as well, I won't be using mine again this year, why would I invest my time and emotions on that crap.
Pathetic.

We are getting murdered in the middle. Come on no clearances in the first half. WTF was Cotch, Martin and Foley doing.
Our kicking has improved but dare i say not much else has changed from last year.
We still give up in games as is proven by today.

Don't send me anymore effing msgs about making a sea of yellow and black, don't ask me for anymore effing money until you can damn well earn it!
If I get anymore phone calls off Richo or Jack, (which always takes 2 or 3 calls before it actually works) or if the club asks me for anymore money, I WILL stuffen REPORT THE RFC TO THE VICTORIA POLICE FOR STALKING ME, enough is enough.
If I don't hear a story along the lines of "Richmond players have donated all of their match payments from todays game to the FTF", then how dare Richmond ask anyone else for money, what a disgrace.
-
About to leave for the game.
Have a very bad vibe.
Here's a 5 point summary of what I think will happen:-
Carlton will smash us with centre clearances, starting from the first bounce.
Carltons half backs will kill us on the rebound. Carazzo and Scotland will have a field day.
Inability to combat Carltons zone/press, resulting in turnovers.
Our defense will leak like a 80 year old bladder.
The likes of Hislop, Farmer and Thursfield will look lost.
Margin:- Carlton by 60-80pts.
I had to double check what time this was posted. Very accurate prediction!

Yes the mids got smashed today but it doesn't help when we've got the two biggest spuds representing our club in the ruck. Browne and Gus are a waste of space. The club must address this issue during the trade period.
-
what shat me was Griff was up and about before he got that dirty knee in the ribs. The past few weeks my ears have pricked up, we have the cattle to be doing a bit better than this horse sh! t, so some suspicions swirl my distrustful head. Firstly, we seem to be playing like rabble without structure when prior to this we had some, secondly the effort seems to have drained from our players.... what the actual far canal is going on? Have they written it off and going for some picks again already?
-
True Machine.
Problem is last few trade periods have shown that it takes a first round pick to secure another club's second best or equal best ruckman.
So just to add to the pessimism of today- for Richmond to draw even with other clubs in the ruck we will have to lose our 1st round pick.
No Scully
No midfield top ups.
This is just to draw even in the ruck.
So if this happens, and it should, our first real dip in the draft next year is going to be a pick in the late 30's. Unless we activate the priority pick (which would be inconceivable in this years draft) or on trade it, the forecast for top ups is quite dim for us really
-
Ouch, um well yeah mmmmm :banghead
-
I didn't see the game, only saw a snippet of the score in the last quarter but it is clear that in yet another important game we have produced our worst football.
My question as a member of this club is who is going to be held accountable for that?
-

So you shouldve too DC. I stopped caring all that much after that Rd1 thumping to the Blues few years back I used to carry a loss with me till mid week, now I get frustrated at the game then walk out and say to myself that's what I expected. Once I get home I jump on here for a few years then I'm over it. You should always expected rubbish then when we produce good football it's like a bonus.
The fact of the matter is we are the joke of the AFL in the eyes of all the other clubs. Each club pre game would build it up as a definate win saying how weak we are mentally like lethal used to do. We are not feared by anyone and if Gale and Dimma can't fix it well stuff me dead we are definitely screwed then.
-
This was an insipid performance. Very few players can hold their head up after that performance. We will never improve if we can't get a good ruckman. Warnock is not a premier ruckman yet he destroyed us-40 tap outs. By not having a good ruckman it starves our midfield of supply. Browne was that bad that when he was in the forward line in the second quarter carlton didn't bother manning him up. He is a liability. Nathan Brown said on the radio after the game we should go after Blake. Browne and Graham are not up to afl standards delist them at the end of the year. Our ability to win contested football was very poor only Cotchin really did anything in that department. We were second to the ball, overused the ball, didn't run and make space and at one stage in the third quarter were going half pace and our tackling was very poor. Our defence is a real worry. Thursfield was really poor. For me our best players were Rance, Jack and Cotchin. Rance was outstanding. His attitude was brilliant. I have been critical of him in the past but he stood up unlike so many other players. The thing that hurts me the most is this was a home game at the MCG. Why didn't we come out firing after last week's performance against the dees? Hislop is not upto afl standards and should be delisted. The jury is out on Farmer.
-
I will probably get shot down by some here but seriously Dimma needs to have a good hard look at himself as well, he and Daly are infatuated with the NFL and have changed the coaching structure whereby Leppa looks after defensive ball movement wherever the ball is on the ground, Daly looks after offensive ball movement etc etc which is exactly what goes on in the NFL. This practice is ludicrous.
Our game plan is to switch into the corridor from the back half when we should be taking the ball around the boundary as far as we can, we go thru the corridor at all times under pressure or not, cough the ball up repeatedly and any wonder we are scored against so heavily.

we agree
-

Yes, that game did some psychological damage to me too.
-
Im 22 and I got to every game, every week. I remarked to my gf after the game that I have been to more beltings in my lifetime than I have wins. I even cursed Richo for being so great growing up because he was the reason (like im sure he was for all others my age) I followed this rabble. Dont think I have it in me to go next week. Pathetic.
-
Since the last time we defeated Carlton (7 encounters ago)...
Carlton 941.....ave score 134
Richmond 540......ave score 77

The gloss has faded to reveal the under-surface.Corroded,toxic and in-operable.
We r poo.
Really lost the vibe on everything richmond.

May I ask who at the Club was the idiot who decided to make the Carlton game the designated one for the FTF?
Seriously why didn't they choose a home game against a side we had some chance of beating let alone being competitive against. Just dumb dumb dumb putting historical rivalry from 30-40 years ago ahead of modern-day reality and it's blown up in the Club's face.
59k is a poor crowd as well for a Richmond vs Carlton game. Going by the ordinary turnout many of our supporters knew it was going to end up very ugly even if the Club didn't. If the Club was depending on an excess amount of the gate takings to go towards the FTF then they can kiss that idea goodbye.

May I ask who at the Club was the idiot who decided to make the Carlton game the designated one for the FTF?
they were always (rightly I reckon) going to chose a game that would bring in a "big" crowd, we shot ourselves in the foot with our effort against the Dees, that cost us at least 8-10K people IMO
It was never going to be agianst C'wood (although that game despite the lass was a geeod game - gave us some hope), couldn't be our home game against the Bombers - dreamtime, doesn't leave us with many options does it
If things had gone to plan, coming off a win, a big crowd = more donations. that was the plan, the fact our players didn't uphold their end of the deal is not the fault of the marketing dept. Any other club would have done exactly the same thing
-
Had marketing done a SWOT - weakness "team", "choking" & "history of beltings in big games" and it maybe would've outweighed the "s" or "o" boxes

I understand the Club wanting a big crowd in theory to play this game in front on but even if our players did turn up to play I would still reckon Carlton would've won comfortably by 8-10 goals (unless they missed a heap of set shots as they did in round 1 to keep the margin down). It wasn't as if we didn't know the Blues are a far superior side to us given both clubs' lists and losing even by a 8-10 goal margin isn't a great advertisment for the FTF. I'm not bagging the Club for only 59k turning up as the Club has no control over that but surely winning or at least being competitive against an opposition around our mark even in front of say 40k would've had a more positive financial impact for the FTF. Now the Club not only has to deal with the media harping on about a 100-point loss but the loss being linked to the FTF will harm donation efforts in the coming months :-\.

True but they picked the game out pre-season; wanting it be in the 2nd half of the year against a team we'd get a decent crowd against. We don't have many home games left, let alone against a "big game" opponent.
Let's be honest after round 1 when we only lost be 20 points I reckon it's fair to assume eveyone thought "a win would be great BUT we get that close again...."
As I said our players didn't keep their end of the bargain and we now find FTF and its whole concept damaged beyond repair IMHO
