Hey look on the bright side guys and girls.......we are in the eight and of all the teams who have won 1 game we still have not had a flogging.
We got belted in the centre clearances and our disposal to the forward line was shocking.
Richo, Brown, Bowden, Foley, etc all had quiet days and we still only went down by six goals and the roos were very accurate in front of goal.
Need Deledio in centre.....killed them when he moved into midfield in second half.
Forward structure was disappointing....Richo not to blame...if he has four players around him surely we have three blokes doing bugger all that should be providing an option.
Lets hope King Wally comes up with a better gameplan for the Pies and the midfield can get the hardball for us.
I still have fingers crossed we will improve plenty this year as the boys showed fight in both th second and last quarters when they could have pulled up stumps.
 
Cut the ladder out of the paper and stick it on the fridge.....it will be the last time we see them in the 8 for the year.
 
I would like nothing better, but can't see it happening. Will be happy to be wrong though.
 
Yes but we have already started the slide from 3rd to 8th.

Lets see how bad things are by round 11, the half way point. Without a change of attitude by all the players and coaching stuff ups we will struggle to beat many of the teams below us based upon yesterdays ineptitude.

On the flip side we do have a healthy recent record against the pies not 100% sure but i think over the last 21 games we've won about 14.

Sorry you were wrong

We are back in and our % is back over 100 :clap
 
It was a great percentage booster for the fellas today. They would be really wrapped. Terry was defnitely talking about the top 8 pre-game. We knew if things fell our way we would be in the top 8, back where we belong :D
 
im not expecting miracles ove rthe next three weeks especially against the top 3 sides.

win or lose all i want is less turnovers, harder at the ball and the improvement of the juniors.

Is groundhog day coming around again?
I hope not.....however we have been in the position many times where we have had a "defining victory" only for the same old Richmond to turn out the next week. Here's hoping that we use Sunday's win as a platform for sustained improvement.
