Game Day- Round 1 , 2016 - Richmond V Carlton

Just shaking my head. WTF are this mob doing. Hell the young guys are having a dip but the older blokes are a joke.
 
We so need to dig deep and have our leaders step up in there last quarter. It's times like this that someone needs to take control and put themselves on the line for the team. We seem to have 18 on he ground but they are not a team, they are playing as individuals. Liffffttttttt Tigers

Disgraceful Richmond.......laughing stock..........

Yep, Murphy, Gibbs, Simpson resume their love affair with us, rack up possies at will. Curnow does the usual shut down job on Cotchin. Players just happy to cruise around, where is the burning hunger from 3 *smile* finals embarrasments!!!
 
Game has been lost at the selection table.......Morris, McIntosh and B Ellis.....PATHETIC!!!
 
One preseason and Boulton gives Carlton a system. We still have none whatsoever.
 
And yeah Carlton might be old overall, but 4 players in their top 7 tonight are between 21 sand 22 years old and all have had more disposals than our highest disposal winner.

Its been lost in lots of places tonight, if Richmond want to entertain the idea of finals this
year then there is a lot of pain to come for these players.

Hardwick needs to grow some balls and drop players starting with Cotchin (who just seems
to be playing in a daze), make Jack Captain and read the riot act to the rest of the playing
list.

Our midfield in particular has been smashed tonight and every other team in the league
will know it....
 
Too many under-done players tonight. Miles, Edwards, Griff, Cellis, Cotch. Don't give us much chance from here.

Cotch is almost ready to be dropped
"Almost ready" :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl, he should be dropped asap and not return until
he knows how to play footy again.....
 
Carlton have the top 8 disposers in the game.

We have 6/9 of the least disposers in the game.

Win lose or draw from here we are NOT going to make top 4 and lose from here and we won't make the top 8.
 
Check these stats:

The Blues have now scored 33 points from possession gains in attacking midfield. The Hawks scored 26 points per game from this source in 2015, ranked No.1 in the league.

Despite winning the disposal count by 30 that quarter, Carlton laid two more tackles than Richmond.
