Gameday - Tigers V Bombers

We've lost 7 of our last 8 games that were within a goal. Are we surprised?

Pickett should still be on a wing , useless up forward !

Inditement on the club recruiters to have no tall key forwards coming through , how many on a list ? 40 odd ? Yet we only picked up a experimental one late in pre season
 
Riewoldt needed to create a stoppage. Dribbles it straight to Essendon. Just dumb!

Did Hardwick have any idea how to counter their stop, short kick, uncontested mark game plan ? They utterly sliced and diced their way around the ground all night.

Essendon. Essendon sliced their way through us. FMD.

Sheer arragance by our coaching staff to back the ball butchers week after week, eventually they will cost you the season.
 
Prestia Pickett and Baker were sheizen.

Nank was horrendous prettu much cost the game missing half a dozen marks that cost at least 4 goals.

Just knew theyd pinch it once Mansell missed

Watch the last 90 seconds
*Riewoldt kicks straight to Essendon instead of keeping it I'm.
*Big V efforts to stop tippawoody get the handball out
*Cotchins efforts when balls is kicked out and marked by a Essendon player again.
*alloying Stringer to get free
*Rioli waiting for the ball instead if attacking it.
*A mark in the goal square in the last 30 seconds is unforgivable.

It’s not even necessarily losing. It’s the constant errors, lack of and system
moving forward, poor skill execution, refusal to modify the game plan (if there is one) that is the most annoying and frustrating part.

The hate for Mansell. I could count 25 basic errors in the last. Just a very poor team effort.
 
Just putrid Riewoldt
Why on earth would Jack even try to kick it forward while he was falling backward as he was tackled??

Impossible to get decent purchase on the ball and ended up giving a perfect pass to the Essendon defender who opened up the Tigers down the wing and into their forward line.

Game over. And let’s stop the delusional talk about playing finals. This Richmond side is too disjointed and has lost its mental toughness. Not strong or bold enough to play finals.
