As soon as he said that Richmond were gone. If the coach is telling you at halftime that the umpires are against you and that's why you're losing then you have an excuse to lose.

Especially hilarious considering they got a fifty from a player diving that ultimately resulted in field position and a subsequent goal, and numerous times I saw their player lunch forward to try and milk on.
I can't see Richmond winning next week, they're distracted and should have lost by five or six goals tonight. See them off in the first half and they'll be done.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

He's out of control. Had to stop it so asked them to move on...……..instead of just answering in a measured way.
Hubris has got these guys.

To be fair he's checked himself a bit.

A Richmond mate called that in the first quarter. Too Jack centric and said they should've played Caddy who although undersized would at least provide a contest.

Really interesting how the Tigers couldn’t handle being physically challenged. Our local boy Rayner on the faux tough guy Cotchin was a really symbolic moment. Hubris is the right word; they’ll probably be a different proposition next week but if we get them I reckon we are a chance.

Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

No. I assume they played their hub games there?

Because the extra humidity will make the game less enjoyable and everyone miserable.

I thought it was a really symbolic moment akin to Bont knocking Hodge on his ass to mark and goal in the ‘16 Semi.

Not sure it was his decision? I took it the AFL made that decision.

Don't the top finishing/qualifying team get the choice of grounds or was that only week one?
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
