Richmond vs North Melbourne @ Hobart - Round 11, 2016

My favourite part of the game

Was Carey laughing at Hampson and Chaplin 'efforts'

Chaplin first contest, worried out of it by a smaller player, then falls over. 

Classic Chaplin

Hey Dooks
Just some facts before you go on and on
Last night 5 mins into the game
We were without 4 of our best 6 defenders
Fact
We all know Chaplin is past it
Taylor Hunt not up to it
And B.Ellis and Lids aren't backman
Astbury is very suspect
This basically left Rance to defend basically alone
When Grimes , Morris and Vlaustin were gone by half time
The floodgates had to open and they did
Out injury list is now big
Have our best 22 on the park and we are a top 4
Have 6-8 missing and we are basically a bottom
4 side
Does this mean you stop supporting ?
Ah no
Do you get on a public forum and bag them ?
Ah no

[Diocletian]

Add more pathetic excuses.....it's a wonder Halfstep hasn't asked the AFL to call off the season.....

Jack is correct, injuries have hurt us.Just like they hurt every team but some of our injuries are happening to players who are lucky to be on AFL list.

[eliminator]

Against North we had more hit outs, won the clearances at the centre and stoppages and had more disposals(handballs in particular). Yet despite all this North thrashed us and North had almost double forward 50 entries. To me this means we overuse the ball, have issues with disposal efficiency and skills and a game plan which is not assisting the forward line. Going sideways and backwards is not assisting the forwardline in any way nor is the slow use of ball movement. Harvey said on ABC radio yesterday something along the lines of despite us getting a lot of the ball it didn't worry them because we did not hurt them with our ball movement. In other words players like Grigg were getting junk possessions. For me at the moment  there is only two players in the midfield(excluding lids because he is in the forwardline usually as well as Jack for the same reason) being Martin and to a lesser degree Miles who can really deliver in relation to ball movement. We need more quality inside midfielders.

Junk player

correct,Dioc. What was our excuse the last 3 years? Injuries?

[Heart of Darkness]

We had our top 6 on the park on Friday night. Injuries is a pathetic excuse. Almost every side deals with injuries to best 22 players.

Yeah ... 

Maybe it's the middle group. + That bottom six that's the issues

Add coaching, development and list management and we could be onto something.

[Stalin]

Aye

[Francois Jackson]

hawks. no coach, player with cancer, no captain-still win.

buldogs. lose president, coach, defenders and captain-still win.

ricmond-lose morris, grimes and the bearded girl in houli and we are decimated by injuries.

Injuries are an excuse for bums.

Reasons are

- going into a season with hampson as your no 1 ruck
- gifting games to duds and then when required have to use others who arent ready. Those players should have been included when we wre winning. Thats smart management aye
- no footy review as they are all got sucked in by a few finals appearances
- giving dimwit a contract extension.
- not sacking hackson when dimwit was hired.
- hiring dan the flog and hartley in the first place.
- Last but certainly not least. MONKEYBALL.
