Ok, so we have digested how bad we were Friday night, have pointed many a finger, tried to work out what went wrong, questioned coaching, game plans and player passion.......

Let's now all look forward to Friday Night - A Home game against St Kilda.

I think we were outnumbered on Friday night crowd wise, or maybe cause we didnt score much.....

I personally think that we could never play that badly again. Although that has crippled our percentage and given us the WORST START EVER........ I think we can overcome it. (But of course if we come out Friday night and just lay down again - then we have a real problem)

This week will be very hard on the players and fair enough.....Lets give Credit to the Bulldogs, they were just too quick, too smart and too good.

So looking into the crystal ball.........

1. We could never play that bad again
2. St Kilda coming off a tough game in the West (not many teams won on the return last year)
3. Strong Richmond Crowd at the Dome.
4. Just hope this has not damaged anyone of the players 'heads'


I know its hard to be happy, I personally was sickened Friday night and it ruined my whole weekend, but alas life must go on and we have a chance to redeem ourselves Friday

Speaking of that I'm a sucker for the tiges.......our odds will be JUICY

I believe the saints members get this game allocated as a 'make-up' game for playing a home game in Tassie. The crowd would be as pro-Richmond as you think... especially after Friday's "contest".

Yeah Stu, thats been confirmed, so will be a big crowd.

Sainters get the game 'In Lieu' but at the top deck where all (or most of the general admission is)
 
I did not expect a win last Friday but didn't expect to lose by that much either.

I will be watching our HOME game from home.

Sorry Tigers, but if you don't turn up, well, I might not either. 4 weeks until I see you again.
 
I expected to be competitive against the Dogs but the Saints always belt us of late so I won't hold my hopes up too high.

I thought that we were a chance before the game, a fairly good chance. What will be interesting this week is if StKilda get off to a flyer - then we will see exactly has some heart and guts to get us back into it especially after last weeks debacle.

But then again, we could just be the ones who get off to a flyer. What ever happens, a competitive and accountable RFC side is, above all what I would like to see.

With Thomas the Tool as their coach anything's possible. Perhaps the Bullies are better than most give them credit for? I expect we'll see a vastly improved performance.

If not expect wholesale changes.
