Round 13 V Richmond

[MH_Bomber]

Fuc-king corrupt umpires again.

Go Bombef!!!!!

[s'dreams]

Why wasn't that 50 when the mustached one dumped Tippa after he marked it?

[s'dreams]

You are allowed to tackle around the neck if your name is Rioli

The footy gods were just

[Rover99]

Well they're all over us but they ain't going win a flag. Glad we ard at least giving the crowd something to watch.

[s'dreams]

And yet another stage from Vlaustin to milk a 50.

If you are hit on the shoulder, your head shouldn't snap back

[MH_Bomber]

The umpiring has literally cost us the game. f****** corrupt umpiring. f****** corrupt Richmond.

[Daisy..1]

These umpires better be called out for this shite tonight.

[s'dreams]

Merrett is the most frustrating player.

He gets so much of the ball and then does a handpass or a kick sideways or waits and kicks a real short one to no great advantage.

Take the game on!

[s'dreams]

I went to Richmond once ... It was a dive

But what do you expect when you start recruiting soccer players

[bpdons]

I felt Merrett’s F50 entries were great tonight. Mostly found a target - there’s room for improvement sure but he’s the best we’ve got other than saad. Love his work ethic.

Umpiring was awful all night but I reckon we definitely got more dodgy calls our way in comparison. We did well to do whatever was needed to put Richmond off their game tonight. That was their worst game of the year by far.

[BenDoolan]

Well...it was a better effort in terms of exertion.

66 i50’s to 24



Lucky they missed quite a few goals.

Umpiring and rule interpretations are a f****** joke. Worst f****** exhibition of both aspects in any year I’ve been watching this game. Whoever is responsible for this utter shite needs to be shot. It is deadset f****** rubbish.

Acting is being rewarded handsomely n this sport at the minute. Cost Tippa a goal because the umpire is a f****** moron. Then a 50 metre to Vlaustin for throwing the head back. Well done clowns

Well done Mozzie! Very good debut. I suspect he’s got an injury??

Draper was very good tonight. TBC should just empty his locker and drive off into the wilderness.

[boncer34]

Mozzie ran out of gas

[Rover99]

Which goes to show, its no use at all showing individual flashes of brilliance if you can't come together for more than 5 minutes at a time as a team.
They made mistakes we could have capitalised on tonight but instead we could never get our act (plan) together and make it stick. And it was so bloody predictable but we had no answers. Thank God they couldn't kick. Loved Saady tonight worked his arse off.

[Rover99]

Mozzie ran out of gas

No. Someone sprayed him.
Looked like a calf strain or kick but what a debut!!

Take the game on!

delivered the ball down the throat of two leading forwards who goaled. Kicked one himself. BOG

[Windy_Hill]

Cant remember the players involved but late third qtr, grand stand wing, our guy lays a tackle on Richmond opponent who spills the ball.....shoukd have been holding thr ball but maggot awards free to richmond gor too high.

early in last qtr, Lynch tackles Essendon defender high knocking the ball free and pays holding the ball decision against us...goal results. Two identical incidents, two opposite decisions both in favour of Richmond.

We were screwed over as usual. At a minimum Walla's goal should never have been overturned and Vlaustin not awarded that 50m penalty which resulted in a goal. 12 point swing right there.

As for the multitude of other inconsistent decisions or frees paid one waybut not the other, bewildering. Yes they were the better team but what chance does an underdog have when the wind is repeatedly and unfairly sucked from your sails.

A lot to be proud about tonight but we have to get smarter and more efficient. The inside 50 differential was scary bad.

[nudder12]

It wasn't so much that the umpiring cost us the game, as much as Richmond's inefficiency saved us from a flogging.
But when Matty Richardson says Grimes was barely touched, and Jordy Lewis says some critical moments in the game completely destroyed our momentum and could have led to a different result, well, yeah, OK, the umps were pretty poor.

[nudder12]

Flabbergasted at that one.

[s'dreams]

Mozzie ran out of gas

Well what the hell was he doing past the center?

Im old fashioned but I think that Crumbing forwards - should umm stay forwardish?

That is three of his 30+ disposals. I wouldn't call him a game breaker which is what we need.

As for BOG, dunno about that.
