Round 13: the Crystal Pepsi games.

[TigerFurious]

Yeah he's suddenly a lot more vocal now that he is getting paid $1.5m a year by head office to coach their problem child. Knowing there will be no head office blow back on him. A bit like how he suddenly went silent on and accepting of the farcical ARC decision in the 22 EF after he the "meeting" (job interview) with the AFL.

Makes me wonder what exactly was going on behind the scenes between HQ and the RFC during the dynasty years.

I bet the AFL will find a way to have GCS not play any games at Marvel next season.

Richmond's home game v. the Suns will be at Marvel.

Short answer.

They were at War with us.

We destroyed their blueprint.
You know, equalisation, even, different Premier every year.
Spread the Love and the Cups around.

We torched that theory so they went about torching us.

(S)hocking.
Frees.
Tribunals.
Hub errors (souva gate).
Stand.
Fixturing.
Poor drafting compo (eg Bobble).

Job done.
Mission complete.

Simples.

 

[Redford]

Wake up Swans.

 

[tiger76]

Is it illegal to hand out short black coffees to players during the game?

Sydney are still in their pyjamas

 

[yo_eddy]

7 wins in a row and coming off the bye...Swans are gettable here. Unfortunately.

 

[saigon tiger]

Vomit unfolding in Sydney. The demise of the Cats just not gunna happen. Spoil a decent weekend so far.

Too much advantage to us.

Geez since when do you write off a team half way through the first? Looks like Swans are about to hit the front. You know you're in trouble when Miers is leading your disposal count.

What a set-up 10 weeks into the season gone.

And to boot….AFL says free kick to King was wrong….can you imagine them ever conceding a decision against us was wrong….

Yeah and two of our leaders end up getting AFL jobs…getting much more coin than they were getting with us. Wonder whether we actually challenged the AFL behind closed doors or were some of our leaders making sure they didn’t jeopardise their future pay check from the AFL.

 

[Smoking Aces]

That’s a BS response from Lyon and BS twitter post.

Dimma’s response is spot on, measured not over the top.

We ask coaches and players to be honest and give real opinions, Dimma did that without going over the top.

Agree Scoop. But where was this measured response as coach of Richmond?

Do you mean Dimma and Kingsley, or Gale? Who exactly?

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

What's better then watching Geelong getting beat??
Geelong getting beat when they were 6 Goals up

Also conceded that Chol should have taken the kick after the soft free to the stager, Sicily, NOT Bruest, as I posted today. Huge difference between big left-footer cf. to sharp r/footer from left pocket boundary.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

They even turned the lights off on little Scotty.
They not playing a reserves team this week

 

[Bill Haverchuck]

Sydney look about 2 classes above the cats but keep gifting them soft goals , so frustrating

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Sydney actually think there shiit doesn't stink.
They better hope Collingwood stayed injured. Because they will get slapped on the G

Often you could see Dimma was beside himself in the box, just furious, with many of the decisions against the Tigers. He even had a shot last week in his GC presser - "Not the first time I've been dudded by the ARC ..."

But I think he was generally muted by Gale and the club for his post-game pressers; might have copped some fines too before he fully obliged.
