Positives from last night's game?

[jackstar is back again]

Another positive - Hardwick says we will not play that bad again.

That says to me that instead of worrying about what the opposition is doing and how they are setting up 'in the middle/centre particularly' that they will set themselves up and worry more about getting the pill, then the rest will take care of itself from there.

Get the effkken PILL DUDES is your number 1 concern - GET IT !!!!

Would tend to disagree.
We dont do enough homework on the opposition, thus the match up werent right.
No tags on Simpson was a disgrace

Another positive was the empty reserved seats next time mine, now thats a positive

lol l'm in the MCC with no Richmond membership

Not necessarily talking pre-game setup, was more reffering to the centre bounce work, our players seemed too pre-occupied with telling each other where to go and looking at the oppsosition to setup for blocking runs etc.
Instead of doing what Carlton did which was charge in, get the hard ball and subsequently the clearance. Should be more focused on getting their hands on the pill in these circumstances.

Young debutants showed something especially Nason.
No injuries
Cotch got through the game unscathed.
Competitive for roughly 3 quarters when we could have just caved after the first 10 mins.
No delusions where we are at.
Media will be spending this week bagging Melbourne and asking how long until Bailey is sacked.

No delusions where we are at.

That's it in a nutshell - going to be an interesting year, got to keep it in perspective.

Just hoping the tankers come down to earth with a thud the way some of the dumb nutz I know have been carrying on this week. stupid prix

We are not last on the ladder

After watching a replay and having far more focus on how the players were positioning rather than caring about skill level times are clearly changing at Punt Road.  We were out-classed by a better side but the gameplan and application to trying a win a game wasn't overall the same old Richmond.  We are going places.  Its a hell of a long way away but we';ve begun the trek.

Shame the ferals will never see that and use this time to have cheap shots at the club they are supposed to support.

Yep, and watch the video closely of players putting one hand out when the ball was on dispute.( tambling )
Watch players try and bump and not tackle. ( thomson )
Watch players like Nahas continue to look at opposition players instead of attacking the footy.
Watch the Captain stuff up the ""kicks in"" continually.
Yep, we have a long long way to go.

[Chuck17]

Some supporters have a longer way to go

If we're that bad, and we weren't, supporters should be trying to encourage rather than driving them further into the ground.
But some are not supporters

Daniel Connors long left foot kicking from half back. He made a couple of mistakes and will only learn.

Dustin Martin, played in the middle and can only get better. Got the hard football, just needs to use that beautful kicking skills a lot more then handballing.

Jack Riewoldt's work ethic was very good!

Trent Cotchin when he gets the football is class, however two kicks that were only 15 metres did not hit targets.

Ben Nason, a goer, and will only get better.
