Tigers v Hawks game day

[Merveille]

smashed by the oldest team to ever take the Park in AFL or VFL history

 

[St Kevin]

Worst Richmond performance since the Saints loss in 2017. We were more competitive in the 2018 prelim.

 

[craig]

Broad to the wing to put the shutdown on Smith. Might be A bit late that move.

 

[Ridley]

I remember being 90 points down at half time against a moderate team in. Premiership year

Yeah this is the worst effort since then. But this game more reminds me of some of our efforts in 2016. Poor skills combined with poor effort and getting completely bullied by the opposition. It's like boys against men tonight and we look like a bottom 2 team playing the reigning premier.

Anyway, batten down the hatches this week. The media and opposition supporters will be hounding us all week. We will not hear the end of it.

 

[dimmauchump]

Oh well. 2 of the last 3. Would have been happy for the footy to never return again and gone out on top.

 

[Bernie]

You blokes didn't notice Hawthorn doing exactly the same thing?

You may as well blame their star signs.

Touché, but I might have added It seems one team has focus, the other not so.

And at the risk of being shouted down as a dinosaur, may I ask, when did football field be the forum for political statements? Sure, if you want to make a statement, do it. But choose the appropriate platform that won’t impinge on your business.

More a commentary on players focusing on peripheral issues and not what WE pay them for.
Sport focusing on woke issues *smile* me.
They are our entertainment. We are doing it tough in these terrible times.
Give us something to smile about.
Play footy well, let the hoi poloi worry about the other stuff when the game is over.

 

[SpaceAce]

Have a look at Pickett's efforts
He was only 2 metres away.

The novelty is over. Must be dropped next week

 

[Spirit of Jack]

Come on Tiges, give us one good quarter.

 

[Ridley]

Pickett and many others not handling Hawks tackling pressure.

Pickett needs to develop an AFL work rate. Understandable given the short amount of time he's been in the system.

But he needs to go harder to get to contests. He's a bystander too often.

 

[Mopsy]

One loss in our last 14 or so.

Lets not get too down on the boys

 

[leon]

How do you miss that? The new Richo? (Lynch from right in front).

Yep this performance cannot be allowed to stand. Back to playing in scratch matches for Pickett.

and now George drops a mark dead in front. nothings working

 

[leon]

Castagna - another who cannot hold a chest mark. Just ridiculous. Auskick level.

Drops the easy one and then takes a good one under pressure.

 

[dimmauchump]

I just think we are a team that feeds off our crowd. We will struggle until fans are allowed back in. Have to face it.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Anyone know what those weird little tattoos on George’s legs are?

 

[tigerlove]

Should have had 3 more goals this quarter and we'd have been in it.

 

[daniel30]

Our game plan relys on hardwork and effort without it were back in the pack seen none of it today to many blugging and waiting for others.2 rucks was our winning formula to short quarters or none wouldn't change it.
