Game Day - rnd 16 vs Brions at the Gabba 2023

[Brodders17]

McCarthy got a week fur his weak punch to KMac's chin. KMac deserves some credit I reckon did not crumbling the way many would have.
Pity the umps at the game didn't think a punch worthy of suspension was worthy of a free.

Probably would have been docked pay if he’d given us a free.

Last night has really flattened my interest going forward to be honest.

A top 4 of Skunks, Kochs, Bears and Deez is as disinteresting as it gets.

I actually turned off in the 3rd quarter. I can handle losing, but what i can't handle is not trying. I thought we'd lose last night as we were too undermanned, but not like this. Up until last night we had been competitive in every game this year. But we just did not come to play. Very disappointing.

At one point in the second quarter Brisbane had 90% disposal efficiency. That tells me the pressure on our part was non-existent.



They have an extra hatred for us. that's why the celebrate more. probably due to the fact the we beat up on them for years. They seem to fire up against us more than any other team.

I draw a line from ‘not enough effort’ to our coach not stating illness as an excuse for that soft performance. No excuse for not putting in the effort. It was clear from the first bounce that our mids and forwards were not applying enough pressure. Short was a standout in this regard pre injury.

Just heard some distressing news on tv.
A Victorian man died last night on a Brisbane street after coming off an E scooter and hitting head on gutter.
Was believed to be a Richmond supporter up for the game.
Just terrible.

Those things are so dangerous, both for the person riding or those around.

Would be glad to see the back of them in Melbourne.

So many broken tackles by the oppo. Disappointing! Particulalrly when we have 1st yr oppo players breaking tackles in the middle of the ground. Inexcusable...

Thought that many of their players looked noticeably bigger and stronger in the upper body - shoulders and biceps. They appeared and played much fitter, faster and stronger than our team. I have had concerns about our gym programs for a long time. We have far too many tackles broken or easily shaken off. The oppo get their hands out frequently to release the ball which makes a vital difference often.
But we don't ... often too so pinged for htb more.

Sorry if you don't like it. Just calling it as I see/hear it. I just find Richo's commenting on our games really hard to bear. And I have had quite enough of it ... seeing some of those non frees paid either for us or against Brisvegas was just so hard to bear tonight. When you're under the pump, not getting a fair go from the "officials" is even harder to take.

At least Cornes had a go at the "officiating" the other week on PA's behalf. They get nothing like the constant reaming our players cop.

Yes I should have explained why.
in short Richo is not the lifetime Protector of The RFC.
His job, when on tv or radio, is to provide “special” commentary not to look for slights and raise grievances on behalf of his former club. I would think less of Richo if he became that type of commentator.
Richo showed where his heart is on GF day 2017 but week to week his head rules.
(And RFC pay him handsomely I imagine to produce in house Tiger only content)

and my other reaction was because I found it inexplicable that after an 81 point thumping umpiring issues were being raised before the players had even taken their boots off.

on a lighter note, that is the first time in PRE history anyone has suggested that someone aspire to be more like Kane Cornes.

Other than us who are your Fab Four?

Aren’t they the future way of the inner urban transport? Loved by planners and government?

 

[22nd Man]

With the terrible record of the teams coming off the bye round it’s time to make the bye round a whole week off for all teams.

I s this based on several years of data?

 

[22nd Man]

Yes, it was an aberration tonight.
From an average of about 65 inside 50s to 38 is way below the median.
If they had a general flu bug, they would not publicise it openly either.
Average these days is about 65 inside 50s per game with a 20 per cent goal conversion.
Straight to the video tape bin.

your bin or the football dept?

 

[22nd Man]

Even if he is not scoring goals , his puts pressure on the opposition backmen.

Sporadic.

 

[Scoop]

The flu rumours true? Few more than Dusty is the word.

That’s sad.

I agree with you. Hate those bikes and more so the people who ride them dangerously and irresponsibly.

In the city of Melb they are a menace.

They're scooters, not bikes. There is a huge difference. The handling of those things in the wet or at any speed, with those little wheels, would be rubbish.

Not sure we will ever see them banned, they are not a bad way for people to get around, but there should be strict laws on the speed they can do. Some of those things can get up to quite high speeds, and they are not safe for the rider or anyone else around. Limit them to 25KMh and any seen going faster get confiscated.

We also need to sort out how they are dealt with. Clearly scooters are unsafe on footpaths, and they are not a road vehicle (unlike a pushbike). So what do we do? Not an easy question, maybe allowed on footpaths with a speed limit of 10KMh (bear in mind that in Victoria bicycles are not allowed on footpaths unless the rider is under 12 years old, in Qld they are allowed on footpaths). But some sort of decision needs to be made about where they fit, are they road vehicles, are they recreational vehicles?

Agree DS.

They are scooters but I see them as a bike , not push bike of sorts.

To me they are a poor man’s motorbike.

You look at most of the people on them, no helmets, speeds they go on footpaths, sometimes roads,.. and I would guess quite a few would be guys who have lost their licences, for speed, drink, drugs and use them as a form of transport without much restrictions.

Am I generalising? Maybe. Maybe not.

Hate them.
