R8 V Crows Game Day Thread

Another thing I noticed, and someone mentioned this prior to last nights game, was the lack of quality tackling. I don't know how many times I saw a player not tackled properly and able to get a close handball to a teammate easily after being tackled. Pin the arms! A number of broken tackles too. Hopefully they'll be working on that aspect too.

That will come with a few more pre-seasons GO, at times it really is boys against men out there. Our kids are so small its frightening.

At least that's the excuse on the kids behalf - The senior boys don't have that excuse.

Re: NO INTENSITY

Is anyone worried about Richmonds lack of intensity tonight. Has Terry lost the players? Have they given the year up? Im sure they have.
Main offenders: Deledio, Polo (and Im a big fan), Tambling, Meyer, Tuck.
Players who cant kick or generally use the football by hand or foot: Johnson, Jackson, Tivendale.
Pretty disappointed with tonight's game. Dont rate the crows that high and I thought it was a game we could have won if we had any confidence. Edwards and King both showed the other boys how to take the game on.
Bring on 2008.

I can give you the names of some excellent cognitive psychologists. I think you might need one. No intensity???? What a load of BS.

Before I sleep - just want to say how DISGUSTED I am with some Crows "supporters" - who chose to target me while trying to have a beer at 3 quarter time. I am with a mate (a Crow supporter) sharing a beer, and this d*ckhead comes up and shoves his finger in my face chanting "0-8, you are 0-8 loser" "Richo is gay" and all this crap and I am getting a tad fired up. About six of his mates are laughing at such Oscar Wilde wit from this clown, he just keeps at it right in my face when the quarter starts to which I say "listen dude, just relax and enjoy your team, no need to be ragging on me just because I choose to support a different team from you" - yeah, I am a pacifist (particularly when there is one of me and 150 crow fans in the bar - where were you Shwary? ). He proceeds to lay diatribe on diatribe - right in my face - and a couple of his mates join in - i was incredulous - honestly, I never incited anything - it was just the fact I was wearing a Richmond jumper - that was good enough for thie breain dead neanderthal to go at it. Anyway, I moved on to watch the last quarter while he stayed in the bar with his mates - no doubt finding another target for their fun - but colour me very unhappy with having to put up with such crap while minding my own business. I encountered nothing like this during the Port game both last week and even when we whupped Ports ass last year. So I say, screw the Crows. Pr*cks like that deserve NO satisfaction. This was 5 hours ago and I am still livid! Anyway, great effort tonight, we just can't cut a break - Richo might have taken the game, but we will never know. The kids played their guts out, and I feel they were a long way ahead of last weeks effort. Sorry, ranting, I love my Tiges, and this place rocks! Lets kill the Bombers!

Unlucky Judge, supporters like that for opposition teams are crap. Not good. Not hapy that my missus didnt want to be left alone etierh and didnt want to come in for a beer, had to settle for a chiko roll and chips.

Next time Judge we will ahve beers. I might even get to a Glenelg game if I can.
