When will Bernie go !!

yes, it countered the flog Roos who managed to mention it post game about 100 times
Roos really does read too much of his own press. He really just has a few observations and attempts to manipulate. His references to the two players as much as he did was ridiculous. its code for we should have won. I think it had an impact but we looked fitter, got the momentum and they tired after giving it all they had.

On another note, wasn't it the end of 2015 (1.5 years ago) that the Melbourne football club were asking for a priority pick because they felt they had the right to one. They make me sick.
 
The quote I like was the accidential compliment Goodwin gave us when he was talking about a teams ability to grab the game when it matters and just win it.

He said only really good teams know how to do this - exactly what the Tigers did
 
and another thing:

the replay might reveal more, but I reckon we sagged off the pack a little bit in the first half.

almost like we rolled out a second to the ball approach to work the melbourne mids over, knowing they would tire over four quarters.

you can do this when you have supreme faith in your backline, which we do.

dunno if it was a ploy, but we certainly were all over them in the second half.
 
Geez and here i was thinking Goodwin gave Dimma an absolute bath last night. They gave us no space and didnt allow us to move the ball quickly. The halftime score flattered us. So much fumbling and dropped marks by us. It didn't rain that much FFS.
 
Doubt that it's the coach's preference, but we seem to be playing the first half almost as a waiting game each week. Just absorb all the heat n pressure that the opposition throw at us in the first half without getting blown off the score board. Then open up and go to town in the second half after a bit of heat n pace has gone out of the game. Scary n frustrating as hell sitting in the stands watching, so far it's working well.
Dimma gets another week :eek:. Reckon if we somehow manage to beat the Crowbaits next, even lambshanks n Ian will have nice thoughts about Dimma, they just won't tell anyone though ;D.

My Dees mate thought Goodwin was thoroughly outcoached.
 
Their was noooooway the demons could sustain that game style.
it's like swimming against the rip. When you tire, you'll be swept off.
What's normally happened though is richmond couldn't come back from a 3/4 deficit. This time they couldn't stop us.
 
Dumbest game plan I've seen in a long, long time.

Clearly went in to run the ball. +1 back the whole time.

Morris being useless.

Talia, lever, hartigan and co. doing whatever the *smile* they like in the air.

Vlastuin is not a forward's little finger, why oh why do we persist with him there?

Dumb, dumb tactics.

We have NEVER been great at running the ball under Hardwick. So why start against the best team in the comp?

Ellis, Vlastuin and Morris played out of position.

Hardwick continually cripples this team.
 
He has no idea. We're 5-1 cause of assistants. The sooner he F off the better. Take Morris and hunt with u you clown smatr Alec. 1 tall fed 1 ruck wtf is that?? They have 3 tall fwds 3 tall backs and a ruck. Big difference
 
I still can't understand why Blake and Leppa didn't fly across to Adelaide.
 
Nothings changed the coach Harwick bloke is a total spud. Wheels will fall off shortly and this clown has no idea what to do.
 
Absolutely got found out by Adelaide, whether or not that is because adelaide are far and away the best side in the comp is the pertinent question. They are just so strong everywhere. If we follow up this performance with similar ones against WB and GWS then whats the point with persisting with Bernie?

Agree.

Not playing that second tall was madness.

Adelaide adjusted at quarter time and have spanked us.

Agreed. Would even suggest that Dimma should be sacked if he ever plays Morris again.
