Pick 2 coming up. Shocking we've gone from premiers to 2nd worst team in the league in 2 seasons.

I don't care how old you are, you can't run 25 *!*!*!*!ing metres without bouncing the ball!

It's basic footy.

McKenzie did the same in the first quarter and got away with it. Home ground advantage.

I'm sure the goalkicking will just take care of itself...nothing to see here...

I was gonna say the same thing. Our kicking is the worst in the league. I don't need to see the stats. I can't even believe we won flag dishing this shit up. I know it's an ask to win in Perth. But we don't even get a highlights reel to look at from the game. Just rushed shit goals. Honey has to go. Roughead gone. Smith I don't mind keeping as a rookie coz his last name will remind me of clay and bubba. Has Daniel peaked? Or just struggling? He's not gonna be worth anything at the table so hopefully he comes good. We need Dale and Williams back in the side. They straighten us up.

He also didn't run straight past the umpire.

He's just unlucky. Like injuries are just unlucky. And since winning the flag, most things we've done have just been unlucky.

Unlucky.

Given our position and the challenges we have I'm looking mainly to two things most games, our level of intensity and effort and how our younger players are performing.
Sadly today isn't really giving much of either but I'm looking for small wins

I'm still buoyed by the potential of Schache, Richards, Naughton, Gowers and Lynch and even getting games into the likes of Adams, McLean, Dunkley and Boyd.

If we can find a way to be more competitive in the 2nd half it will keep me interested.

Say what you want about injuries and you can laugh and joke about it, but do you think Libba, Bont, Wood, Williams, Suckling, Picken would make a difference today?

Schache 5 marks Boyd zilch

If the MC can’t see Smith and HC are borderline WRFL standard we have bigger issues than I thought

I agree, but do you think as the season has gone on, these young players are starting to drop off?

39 games. we've been lucky to win 16 games since then over 39 games. Richmond have won 13 games since their flag a year later from 17 games. Highlights the stark fall from grace we've had, compared to what an obviously more professional club can do after a flag. The time has come to flag credits to run out, and everyone judged on what we've done in the last two years and what they can contribute going ahead.

There are no positives to come out of this. If we think that because we are young and we get a few players back next year that it will turn around we are kidding ourselves. We have so many guys who have peaked or are just no good. Why the coaches can't see what the supporters do with Smith, HC and Roughy and yet continue to play them. We are wasting games on them. They are not going to all of a sudden turn into good footballers.

Greene must get a game next week

MC needs to be shown the door, except Bevo, who needs someone like a Ratten to come in an help strategies...our so called game plan is laughable and seem to be playing favourites....this needs a massive overhaul, and hopefully the end of year review will highlight this.

Need to see what he can do at AFL level. The time has come.
