Richmond's Percentage

[rufio_1991]

I've noticed over the years that richmond always have a pretty bad percentage, even when we make the finals its not that good. Once again Richmond have the wrost percentage this year.
Is this something we can work on? Can we beat teams more often by 5-6 Goals instead of under 10 points?

91.1 – 1999
93.1 – 2000
107.8 – 2001
82.9 – 2002
88.8 – 2003
69.2 – 2004
92.3 – 2005
86.1 – 2006
77.2 – 2007
97.4 – 2008
74.3 – 2009
87.3 - avg

Just a sign we haven't been good in all that time. Even in 2001 we got flogged a few times by the other top sides that year. We were just good enough to get the job done regularly against the mediocre and poor sides that year. We had 5 wins this year and 3 were by less than a kick. The only comfortable win we had was against North after quarter time. When the opposition as going inside forward 50 twice as much as we are and doing so more efficiently and under so little pressure then it's no surprise our percentage is the worst in the AFL.

Our best pecentage in the last 27 years of doom & gloom was  117% back in 1996.

We had the 5th best % in the comp that year...yet still finished 9th.

Our percentage in the last 4 weeks was 49%. Meaning the opposition doubled our score over that time.

Next worst was Port with 72% who lost all 4 games as well and Freo 77%. No one else was below 90%.

49% was what Fitzroy ended up with at the conclusion of their final season.

Bump!!!

Honestly we need to start burying sides. Brisbane should've been buried when Clarke went down. They are crap.

We effectively sit 1 games and massive win out of the 8. In the last 10 years i dont remember our % being anything descent.

This will be our downfall again with Bummers and the boys from Mt Hotham having superior %%

It is slowly improving, if we can manage a clinic like Essendon and Melbourne did against GC then we will improve significantly. Mind you that game isnt a given to win. Percentage wont matter if we keep winning the 4 points in the end.

This is so true Ol Smokey  
We have another Richo down there by the name of Jack Rewoldt.
Dimma needs to jump on Rewoldt now.  he is rushing things up there & getting a bit too cocky. Team play make percentage.

Oh forgot to add he is berating his players just like Richo did

Lets trade him for John Butcher.

the way i see it is we are one of the heavier scoring sides in the comp which is a bonus for a team so young and still some way off. Our whole defensive setup needs to drastically improve. This means the whole 22 not just the back 6. We must stop those cheap unforced error goals, if we ever get that right our percentage will shoot up and we'll tear sides apart
