Official Richmond Team -v- Geelong (Rd 7)

[WilliamPowell]

First bad one, which one was the good one

To borrow a favourite question of Jack's

Do you actually watch games? 

Well I haven't missed one yet, does that answer your question

Actually No

I asked did you watch games. Not whether you went to games.

Huge difference

[bojangles17]

I don't believe Griff plays with intensity.In fact neither he nor TY play with intensity and that's the issue with both I think

What we do know though G is that TV has played some pretty accomplished footy at senior level. It's fair to say after a fortnight in the vfl with a dose of leather poisoning that he s a lot closer to owning it than griff floundering with his 6-8 lousy possies a week with his season highlight clutch mark over Jeff garlett ......just keepin it real 

[Rampstar]

You want Geelong to destroy us?..is this the bizzaro world we are living in

IMHO it would be the best thing that can happen for us and that is for the people running the RFC to understand that they are on the road to nowhere. They are going down the same failed track of the last 3 decades. I hope Geelong beat the crap out of us on the weekend so that the coaches and administrators can finally wake up to themselves. They are taking Richmond back years the way they are going.

Well if you re suggesting I spend all day under the bar, you are horribly wrong, I watch the game with intent with an eye like a stinkin eel for detail and a mind like a steel trap for memory I can recall a game like I'm singing happy birthday,

You have to be kidding BJ?
Do you call 17 ordinary possessions against a hack team leather poisoning????????


That is ridiculous.

yep i reckon your right there. how does one put it. seems most of our talls lack a real physical presence  ivan being the obvious exception.
giffiths is having a dip though and i think if played will improve.

What are you on about? Bar? What the?

I asked if watched games. You said you hadn't missed one though you clearly have missed at least one because you didn't go to the Pies game because of a bit of rain. So you are watching via TV which I said so many times doesn't show you everything.

So the "stinking detail" as you call it is what the TV gives you in a limited space rather than what is going on the entire field and not people are doing off the ball or what they are doing with 2nd or 3rd efforts

That's what Griff's been giving us, 2nd, 3rd efforts, defensive acts, etc. The things Vickery are notorious for not giving us.

"it all about playing with intensity aggression at the ball doing the 1%ers and taking contested marks"



Griff has done that. Taken 12 contested marks for the year and battled like a warrior. Needs to get a bit more ball but it's not as if we're putting it down his throat. Feel sorry for him, I really do. Hope he doesn't spit it but I wouldn't blame him if he did. Hardwick can go stuff himself

how old is Schulz? Port might need a replacement soon...

[tigs2011]

Hardwick and the selection panel can go and get f'd. That is all

sounds like a solid thread title.

Turned 29 a few weeks ago. They don't need a replacement, they'll just get Griffo home and play him along side the Sarge. Double the stuffing nightmare for us

Well you re being pedantic, when you said watch I didn't read that as meaning in the flesh , some games I have watched live from the big screen. Note I said watched . I realise there are aspects difficult to capture on the monitor , I have a widescreen though and deliberately keep an eye out for what's happening around the contest .

Exactly. The sooner they fail the better. Lets see them made accountable. A 100+ point loss and they'll be shaking like Michael J Fox

[tony_montana]

Absolute disgrace that Ty has walked right back into the side after 1 mediocre and 1 average performance in the 2's.

and once again teachers pets don't get touched. They've lost the plot down there. Fug em

You have a widescreen? 
Wow, I'm glad you don't have your 1974 Rank Arena 25 inch CRT any more BJ!
