Game Day - Richmond v North Melbourne, Elimination Final 2015

both teams missed shots in the first but ours were sodas . the 2 by griffiths and 1 by newman had to be kicked . In contrast the shots of waite and higgins though makable weren't dead in front . we should have had 5 on the board at 1/4 time

How's Luke Ball's form the flog . Reckons cunnington would have been red hot to get pinged . FFs he took 3 steps and was pinged with a perfect tackle it doesn't get any more clear cut than that . Hayden kennedy embarrassed himself stating that his umpires didn't have a good view and don't like to guess . What a joke . Every holding the ball decision when a a player is on the ground with 3 bodies on top of him is a raffle.
One of his umpires was prepared to guess on the Ziebel non mark which cost us ball in Jacks hand on the 50.
 
In Halifax Nova Scotia Canada & was not surprised Tigers went down as I considered bringing in Griff & Concanuts unwise.

It's paid 9 times out of 10, so it should have been. We also shouldn't have been in the position where that one decision may have been the difference between winning or losing our most important match of the year.
 
Both Lennon and Lloyd were emergencies in 2014 EF as well . Lennon came into the squad for Jacko who pulled the pin in the lead up

Watching on TV is totally different to watching it live.
At the ground I thought we were gone in the 3rd qtr.
But on TV we played a good 10 minutes in the last qtr, but the missed holding the ball just did destroyed us.

I lost count how many times 3rd man up in marking contest by North destroyed us
We don't have real bone breaking tacklers. Missed tacklers killed miles, Deledio and McIntosh all got tackles broken against them at crucial times.
The 2 shocking sh!t kicks by Conca almost cost me a new TV.
Jack, Martin, miles, grimes, rance hold your heads high.
Conca, Chaplin, hunt, Maric, Cotchin, Deledio, Ellis, Edwards, all disgraceful.
Jogging, going half hearted in contests And waiting for North player to get to the ball first.
At the ground I thought McIntosh was good, running up the wing like a gazelle.
But on TV. He jibbed it, he kicks like donkey and his tackles are cat like.

Did you take your TV to the footy?

Why couldn't he just admit that the umpire froze and was too scared to make a decision.

Because those pricks hate us much as those commentator's that haven't stopped laughing at us.
How can we play so well during the year and come to the biggest day capitulate the way we did?
The only way I can see us removing this from our DNA is by changing it.
Game plan.. Step 1
Players out.. Step 2
It's basically the same side 3 years in row. Time for huge changes.
 
It has been shown over the last couple of years that the RFC is somewhat careful in dealing out the dollars which is a good thing seeing how far we were in the red . However it has to be considered if the Club went a similar course with leading teams . When I get my internet protection I always click the FREE option and disregard all the specialist options that you have to pay for .
Perhaps we opted for the free one and left out the option of getting your players to perform on the big stage :hihi

You can go to the game, then watch a replay at home on tv.

:)

That you can but I was well prepared for the Conca disposal blunders when I watched the replay on TV thus sparing my TV any harm.

Still not over this game

I know I should be over it and keep telling myself there's no point continuing to lament, but it makes me melt with rage having to listen to the claptrap from north's über flog of a coach in various segments through out the week about them playing a game that stands up in finals pressure, and about how the players went to another level blah blah blah.

Yeah your teams really primed. You beat a team by less than three goals that has a KP back that's as slow as my gran, brought on a midfielder that hadn't factored in the team all year and can't kick to butcher the ball in key moments together with another player who also can't kick unless it's a 70 meter roost with no pressure. A team with a ruck that can't jump and a captain that can't shake a tag or get any help from his team mates to hurt the punk tasked with not playing the game but to make the life of good players difficult. A team who's coach didn't think it was warranted to put their best defender on an opposition forward that was causing problems the whole game.

And now they get to play a weakened Sydney, and bringing up their lack of supporters, stupid team uniform or playing list full of geriatrics doesn't help one bit.
