PUNT ROAD END | Richmond Tigers Forum

I ask this question because of some ridiculous posts discussing last night in a positive fashion.

We are an atrocious football team. No doubt many will sit there and scream FERAL or BANDWAGONER but I dont care I will tell it how it is. Anyone who watched the game last night could only conclude 2 things

1. Our players have no brains. What sensible rational thinking footballer gets the ball looks up turns around runs into trouble and then handballs to a teamate under equal pressure

2. Our players have brains but are tanking.

Our movement of the ball is disgraceful. Our skills are a joke. There is no spark in the team, no one runs around puffing their chest out and firing the boys up. When we have the ball at half back the players up the ground dont bother running hard to provide options, they amble along, making it even more difficult for the ball carrier. It's partly the fault of our mids and forwards that our defenders have nothing to kick to EVER.

We are a long long long way off the competition bench marks. Not only that, an equivalent team like Carlton is a 25-40% better team then we are.

We are shocking
