Tigers vs Blues game thread - the Fighting Tiger Fund match

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.

Spot on Mate!!

It's incapacitates any chance of cohesion during the match.

We were terrible, umpiring decisions hurt but ultimately don't change too many results in our games.
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.

[Penelope]

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

[Ox]

i agree Tux.

The umpiring is a continuing saga of camp decisions

[Dubstep Dookie]

Andy Mahers head is bulging like a double licked bell end.

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.

[Penelope]

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.

umpiring decisions. What absolute rubbish. If your a good team you won't be mentioning the umpiring. FACT.
