Round 4 Non Essendon Game Thread

It's ■■■■■■ ugly but at least they look like they came to play

Steak Knives takes one early. Aaaaaaand misses.

Do Richmond fans realize that they over achieved last season and that they are still ■■■■ yet?

Well done o’flog

Lol at the filth cheer squad all wearing white jackets. Legit looks like their all in straight jackets, farkheads

Perfect conditions for Pendles.

Perfect conditions for Pendles.


How good has he looked? Looks like he is playing on a 20 degree day.
One touch and un-fazed.
Looks like everyone else has butter on their hands.

Two very average sides battling it out here.
Richmond won't be winning many games this year if they persist with Riewoldt/Vickery/Griffiths all in the same side.
We should be beating both this year.

Anyone else think Hardwick is a pretty ordinary coach? Maxwell might not be a star but he'll chop you up if not made accountable. 

Minus Deledio Richmond really aren’t a quick team. Chaplin looks positively fat, Thomas is a crab, Vickery’s far too frigging hipster to run, and a lot of their midfield group are chunky one paced guys. Only really Edwards, Morris, Ellis are quick (who the fuck is Gordon?) and none of their mids really strike me as likely to take you on. Pies have Elliott Young Fasolo Beams & Harry and quite a few in their engine room cover the ground well without being super quick - Pendles, Sidebottom, Swan.

Adds up to a looot of guys leading their men to the ball and unless the Tigs figure out a way to tie them down to their type of game they’ll take it away with them.

They need to look at that mix, you can’t have that many mudpluggers every week. Then again this was the side that picked up Loners & Slasher Hislop.

Reckon it would be demoralising playing alongside a bloke like Vickery. Literally give no effort, wins maybe one in ten contests, doesn’t chase, and yet week after week will get a game.

Yep, if he wasn't Essendon he'd be viewed far differently on here IMHO. 5th year.

Richmond are just poo. Their chasing and tackling is ordinary.

looks a bit like Roger Merrett, until he gets within 10m of the ball.

Yeh been thinking that all year, there was a lot of 'we shoulda got Hardwick!' For a while, but there's not much happening at punt road.

Yep, tigers are ■■■■■

Surely I'm not the first to have noticed...

Why do Richmond fans bronx every free they get? Collective IQ of the monkey house at the zoo that lot

Both sides doing a really bad job at actually stopping & controlling the ball, Tigs have been nutmegged 5-10 times already

Umps getting paid per free. Done really well the first 3 weeks…
