I'm addition to improving, we need to target geelong and North with extra prejudice.
The other games are business as usual.

Whenever Norf went forward, their forwards are always in front, and seem to be able to run and jump at the ball. Every kick to Jack, Vickery and Griff are on their heads. Vickery and Griff get outbodied way too easily, and Jack is always 3 on 1.

Re: Why is the RFC the b!tch of the NMFC?
I agree North's tactics of slingshotting the ball out of the backline quickly doesn't give us time to set up in the backline. Chaplin and Batch can't go with Waite and Brown in one on one contests so they get exposed.
They always get us around the stoppages and contested ball. Maric has been a great warrior for our club but Goldstein can pretty much win hit outs to advantage at will which gives them a huge head start. We are one or two big bodied unconditional players short to compete with North on the inside.
Boomer Harvey always fills his boots against us as well.

Re: Why is the RFC the b!tch of the NMFC?
Funnily enough if we managed to finish top 4 we'd have a better chance of winning against the top teams. Finishing in the 5th-8th range tends to bring a lot of these teams attacking teams we struggle with. Carlton was the same, just a horrible match up. It is what is, the list needs work but the gameplan that Hardwick has drilled into his robots will always have it's drawbacks against certain teams.

Forget the fact Waite is a very flakey footballer. Fact is hes Josh Kennedy dimensions with a massive leap. Toys with our defence. They worked out long ago kick it long and deep.

Why is Hawthorn ours ? Some teams just match up well on others & for some reason Norths forwards seem to play well against us

Re: Why is the RFC the b!tch of the NMFC?
As I've said previously, North probably have another year to achieve anything meaningful. After that they will sink and our domination over them will start, similar to that which we have over the druggies and blooze.
We owe Norf more then a few hidings.

It really doesn't matter who we face in the finals, we'll be their *smile* on that day.

Re: Why is the RFC the b!tch of the NMFC?
It happens in different eras I'm not sure whether we beat St Kilda while Ross Lyon was coach but i know we had a shocking record with a few blowouts against them, we can't beat Geelong either just the way it ebbs & flows.

Re: Why is the RFC the b!tch of the NMFC?
We didn't. They had a streak against us that started in the Thomas era when Frawley was still coaching us and it didn't end until after Woss left. Took us a few games to beat Freo under him, too. The Pies had a hold on us until this year as well.Coughlan24 said:

Think this is their last shot. They blew it with the loss to GC, one of the worst I've seen.

Many of those clubs were going over the age cliff.
Richmond 2001 - our last finals win, enough said
Fitzroy 1994 - soon to be extinct
Sydney 1989 - preceded the second-worst period of any club in the modern era bar Fitzroy
Brisbane 2004 - decade of desolation
Geelong 2010 - clung on for another year with champion team and expert list management
Bulldogs 2010 - entire forward line 30+, off to Rebuild City
St.Kilda 2012 - still de-Rossing
Carlton 2001 - similar to us
North yesterday - last chance saloon
Hawthorn Friday night - ancient
Freo R22 - Rossed
Those last three clubs are currently very vulnerable. History suggests its extremely difficult to contend when the team drops significantly in age from one year to the next. Send the same players around again, guaranteed 100% cooked; introduce youth, take a performance hit.

It's a comforting through L2R2R and I agree with you, but it still sucks to be a Richmond supporter today.
