Footy Show

The Marngrook Footy Show is currently on.

How refreshing to hear honest commentary. Having ex-players who are free to comment on the game is so refreshing compared to the sanitised and puerile Ch9 version.

It's right up the top of my favourite footy shows. The lack of compare egos and wanna be comedians is refreshing too.

Ok, i give in.....what is the Margrook Footy Show.???

Indigenous footy show on channel 31 in Melbourne, and other channels elsewhere.

By indigenous I mean it is hosted and presented by indigenous ex-players, and although it focuses on the indigenous players, the show is targeted at AFL in general. Goes through the teams, ins and outs, etc, etc.

Well worth watching if you are after a footy show. The panel, being ex-players, are free to speak their minds.
 
Pretty entertaining start to the show.

Great to see Crawf can let loose and say what he really thinks now he isn't playing.

I thought Browny did well to answer the panel's curly ones, but was glad to see Shane asking the hard questions.

Sammi in fine form. Only guy who will say it as it is, but utterly hilarious at the same time. Good if Terry came on the show, might finally get something outta him if he was interviewed properly.

Care to elaborate for us NonFootyShowites Bob?

Yes Rosy, well basically he said Richmond don't play as a team and play as a bunch of individuals.

When Browny said it's only round three and we have played two of the better teams (Geelong and Western Bulldogs) Crawf said it was a cop out and pointed out we were dreadful against Carlton, decent against Geelong and then again dreadful against the Bulldogs. Simply he said it's not good enough and Richmond is not a good "team".

He was harsh, but it's what the club needs to hear, not this loser talk of "we lost to the better teams", "it's only round three" crap. It is seriously making me sick. How can you seriously tell your own fans and the football public we can't expect to beat the Bulldogs or even Geelong? Do we not turn up next time we play them? I'll bet they want us to turn up so they can collect their money, wouldn't that be right?

Every Richmond identity that has spoken since the loss pretty much, has confirmed my beliefs about the club.

Then we see a guy like Crawf and see the Hawthorn mentality. Makes you wonder.
 
Thanks Bob and Azza. Probably can't argue with too much of that at this stage. It will be interesting to see if they can turn it around in the next few weeks. I'm sure they're capable of much better and hope someone can sort things out and get some respect back.
 
Richmond copped a bagging of mammouth proportions all night on the footy show.

Expect Browny to come out and play a blinder, he was hammered by them all including that fool in the crowd that told him to get a kick.
 
Crawf is spot on and I've been saying this for years. Wallace has stated recently that we should all be rowing in the same direction. Unfortunately Wallace is a poor leader and sets a poor standard by being inconsistent.

As a team we have allowed

1) Lazy players

2) Soft players

3) Favorites

4) They go back into their shell! WHAT THE FLIP IS THAT WHEN IT COMES TO TEAM WORK.

5) Poor leadership

6) Bad body language

7) Lack of spirit

8) Lack of pride

9) They wont fight for a mate. Will watch a mate get bashed!

10) Wont take responsibility and turn then back instead of leading.


The list goes on and on and it's a flipping disgrace!

TEAM PRINCIPLES WOULD NOT ALLOW THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOR.
 
crackertiger exactly. Well said.!

Add 12) Play as individuals as was alluded by Crawf

13) Worried how they look outside of football and not how they are perceived on the field.

14) It starts at the top. A coach worried about his tan, who makes excuses, is too stubborn to realise that his players are dumb and his game plan too complicated for his lazy players.

Sorry
