    Three things I've learned-Round 7 V Richmond

    Apart from the fact Richmond are scum tell us three things you've learned.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    1. I know we wanted Tom Boyd forward, but then select a ruckman. Match committee obviously got it wrong, then the coach did.
    2. I haven't enjoyed this year. We can't keep giving teams 30+ point leads.
    3. Equal second on the ladder, with lesser percentage. That's good. But hopefully this isn't getting the players drunk on arrogance.

      1.We must play a designated ruckman. TC should of played tonight.
      2.Clay Smith showed his value, after a number of poor performances.
      3. Our medicos may finally be learning, thank *!*!*!*! the didn't let Stringer back on.

        3. Tom Boyd just doesn't get free kicks paid.

        2. Week by week I am coming around to Fletcher Roberts.

        1. Bailey Williams can really play. He's a beautiful kick.

          Basil Zempelas is a cock head
          Basil Zempelas should shut up

              1. Bevo knows what he is doing with rucks - won the centre clearances and stoppages

              2. We are truly a never say die team

              3. Clay came good, when he was on last chance

                TC was woeful in the VFL game.

                  1. When Dustin Martin had the ball he's one of the best there is. When he doesn't...
                  2. Jack Redpath comes in as soon as he's fit.
                  3. We can't keep playing with fire like this. Not everyone is as mentally weak as Richmond.

                    1. There is so much consumption of salt happening for people outside the west, I think we'll have to franchise out the Sons of the West program. Bad for the rest of the community's health. Incredibly amusing to watch these people melt.

                    2. The no ruck thing feels too smart by half.

                    3. We are getting good at managing a short bench.

                      When Martin gets the ball, he seems to run around a lot in circles and create nothing. Was on the end of a few cheapies to get his goals.

                        Yet according to BZ (sorry to bang on), even though Martin may have kicked it straight to a Bulldogs player, it was done with amazing skill

                            Surprised at the criticism of Martin. Good things typically happen for Richmond when he has the ball and he creates panic in the opposition....including us. That piece of play in the last when he beat Wood and Boyd was outstanding.
                            I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
