Richmond def Essington Turnoverfest at the G: Review Thread

[jonovdp]

LID OFF 2017 - Went all in, on a bluff, and had it called! The flop gives us a chance, on the turn it's 50/50, we're home on the river. Now to make a big run at the final table!

I’m pleased with our performances the last 2 weeks. But I think many people are going early on this. Some members of the media are talking about us being contenders this year. There is always a possibility that this could happen, but it’s way too early to be making calls about us contending the top 4 and being around a preliminary final position.

Our history of being pathetic in the last half of the season is against us. I have vowed never to get excited about what we will be in the last round, until it’s confirmed.

Our Jekyll and Hyde performances still concern me. I can see this happening through out the year. But gees it would be a block buster movie contract if we some how won it this year.

I said this last week.

History says we were going to lose against Richmond after 2 good games in a row. I wish I could say I was surprised by the loss, but I simply was not.

There was an air of arrogance and cockiness last week around the club and supporters. We were believing the hype that was driven by the media of the fact we are good enough to win a premiership.

Until we can deal with the expectation of winning games we are expected to win, we will continue being a middle of the road club.
