Game Day R21 - Foldnorf v Richmond at the Dump
- Thread starter TigerForce
- Start date
There were long periods in those 37 years where we were bottom table not mid table. 86-93 and 2002-2011. There are no guarantees. We’re in for an extended period of bottom table.
This should not have happened; no way should we be this bad. Questions need to be asked.
Just like concussion after effects. That chaos game plan, IMO was stupid, too risky, skilless and has caused possible MS in some players.
Let’s see how he’s going after his contracted 3 years before signing an extension.
Been watching for years. Never seen a 2 win season before. Because it’s never happened before.
Coming home from the game.
There is no way we should have lost that game. We had so many opportunities but we lost with 3 things
1. We gave the ball away a few too many times and got hurt.
2. Our forward line was largely disfuctional and when we did get scoring shots we kicked for goal badly.
3. North have 100 first round picks, every now and again their quality hurt us
However, in so many ways today we were the better team but we were our own worst enemy.
Oh, and there were a couple of terrible umpiring decisions in the 3rd that hurt us badly.
Effort today was first class.

yes , you are right, not his fault but having a star on big coin sitting on an exercise bike isn’t what we need now.
Watched the last quarter with all the passion of an undertaker.
Dustin won’t be here next year.
There is scant little to like about the game style, talent, coaching, skills, or cohesion. We are absolutely where we deserve to be after such a lacklustre season.
I have a very unsettled feeling that we will stuff the draft.
We lose Benny, we lose the driven passion of a 100% bought in leader.
Will the RFC rise to the challenge?

Like john kennedy said, theres no room for ignominy in football
Back then it was sh!t coaches, sh!t drafting. Hopefully we're smarter now and coming off a successful recent history.
I honestly didn’t think we’d bottom out like this. Having Peggy, Benny, Balme and Dimma walk in 12 months has decimated the club.
We haven’t bought in anyone to replace that level of management. Yze has been underwhelming, O’Rourke invisible with zero impact and Benny is staying out the way. Who is leading this club?
My only positive of the day is that Norf are still in the *smile* category, I thought they’d be much more impressive, however pleased to say they still have a lot of holes in the list
Agree completely. Ball movement until the last kick into fwd was more than ok. Add lynch and lefau and we look very diff. For example, take out kebab from North and they cant score
Ok. Ill kick off our truth and reconciliation commission....
Q: what happens when a side wins 3 flags in 4 years and gets the 20th best kids, at best, five years running?
Q: what happens when you have a third of your blokes on the couch playing xbox recuperating from surgery?
Think there was plenty wrong with the two or three possessions before the kick to inside50.
Save for a few individuals I thought we lifted our pressure overall today. Numbers seem to suggest so. However, the number 1 killer for us - lack of genuine class or quality specifically as it relates to disposal - absolutely killed us again today.
It’s no surprise that we find themselves at the bottom. Poor recruiting during the Clarke era has contributed to this situation, and some senior players have lost motivation or are dealing with injuries. Yze faces a tough challenge, akin to competing in V8 supercars with a 4-cylinder car. However, by focusing on the draft and acquiring picks from players who want to leave, the team can move forward. It’ll take time, but watching our young players develop will be rewarding.
