Loved the way he hinted about the 8 gimmee goals Cartoon got. Only way to express your point without copping the green flog fine.

2020 Round 1 Richmond V Carlton Game Day
- Thread starter tigerman
- Start date
Hardwick looked filthy in the box. First time in a long time he was seen spitting the dummy.
He was entitled to be filthy. Reckon he would have viewed that as an un Richmond like performance.
Just said "how can I say this diplomatically, uhm...I won't say anything"
Good to get our last practice match out of the way we move onto next week season opener.
Heard Browneye say the AFL is looking into adding something to the atmosphere in future games. Good.
Yep by alphbetical order and cant arrange in order of whatever stat you looking for.
Garbage .............official site man
Well that was incredibly weird.
I have noticed before that we play like crap at Chernobyl on Docklands. What I also notice at Chernobyl is the complete lack of atmosphere. Coincidence? I think not. The lack of atmosphere, the lack of that feel of a cauldron of seething Richmond fans, seems to suck the life out of our pressure game. It just didn't seem to be on tonight.
The centre clearances were terrible. We can't afford to have other teams get it out of the middle so easily. This has to improve. I still can't understand how we don't win more clearances given we have Dusty, Cotch, Prestia, Graham, Pickett et al. This is an area we need to improve. Whenever we get beaten, getting smashed in the middle is a common factor (think NM and WB last year and the 2018 PF).
But, round1 and clearly the players were rusty. Shorter pre-season for us. No VFL is a big worry, how do we get game time into fringe players and those a bit down on form?
Gotta get the fans back in somehow, nice to have a game to watch but not the same.
The umpires were woefully inconsistent as usual, some things even a lack of atmosphere can't change

Noted that every player shook the hand of every one of the opposition and then hugged every teammate.
No crowd so no pressure to get off the ground so all players stood around and sort of shook hands to pass the time.
Hmmmmmmmm
They live in their own world.The umpires were woefully inconsistent as usual, some things even a lack of atmosphere can't change
Yep very long time, since last year if I remember correctly.
Don't get the "social distancing" after they have been tackling and throwing themselves at each other all night.
Might as well shake hands at the end, they have all been in contact. This is a contact sport.
