WORST GAMES EVER GONE TO SEE?

[tigertim]

I think a lot of the buzz of the game went when Michael Pickering got cleaned up.
Yeah, the tiges won by 2 points but i was more concerned about the health of Pickers.
It proberly cost him a State Jumper and career started to go down hill from here.

Indeed, I think that was my main concern too ...NOT! You worry me Pickers 35.

2009 Round 1v Carlton.
Yep, that will go down as another sad night for the Tigers

 

[Legends of 2017]

Tigers v West Coast at Waverley in 1989 (or 1990?). I took my girlfriend who hated football and I tolerated this game until the start of the last quarter when I'd had enough. I walked out it was that bad. We ended up winning but I was hardly enthused.

That game stands out in my memory for two reasons. The Pickering clean up. And then going to my car after the game to find my windscreen smashed, by a bloody eagles supporter

Was that the game where Peter Wilson did his version of the chicken dance to Karl Langdon infering he took a few short steps on the outer wing?

Yep. same game.

95 Prelim.

Absolutely! So depressing.

The 2001 Prelim was equally. I was listening on the radio with my mother-in-law who is a crazy lions fan!

2007 v Geelong - it doesn't get much worse.

How I hated Langdon. This was just so good, although I also grew to dislike Wilson intensely.

1995 PF against Geelong.

Game against the Hawks at Waverley when Dunstall kicked 17 goals.

2 last games in 1994 at Princess park (Cartun ground). We lost both games over 100 pts each to carlton & Geelog & missed te finals by perentage

Rich 8-6-54 Melb 26-19-175 MCG 21,654 22-08-1993

This was my first ever game, i was 6. things never really got better.

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

Easily the most inept performance I've seen by a Richmond team was R20, 1991 - a 59-point loss to Fitzroy at the MCG. The on-field happenings were just comical, and the atmosphere was downright poisonous with Richmond supporters turning on each other out of sheer frustration. An angry mob gathered outside the rooms after the match, demanding answers. Kevin Bartlett's fate as coach was sealed that day.

Jeff Hogg - the best player at the club at that time - played the first half at full back before kicking 6 after being shifted to full forward.

Honourable mention to R22, 1987 v Brisbane at the MCG. In a match to decide the wooden spoon, we flew out of the blocks but ended up getting whacked by 56 points. Lee and Weightman did some whacking of their own and each copped suspensions. Our shame was witnessed by the entire footy public as it was a Friday night game.

The three worst games I've been to :

I lived in Mulgrave two streets behind Arctic Park and the Tiges played the first 3 games of the 88 or 89 season there against Hawthorn, Fitzroy and can't remember the third team.

We were beaten by a combined total of 223 pts.

Even the walk home seemed to take ages.

bet you didn't have to walk home from coolock because no-one came to pick me up?
Bit of an inside joke there. No-one try to understand that

* Circa approx 1990 when North beat us by 141pts on a Friday night. I think Longmire kicked 14. I got off the platform at Richmond station and heard a radio as the game began and we kicked the first. By the time we got in the gate the scoreboard was 1.0 to 5.3. And it got worse from there.

I was there. Alone because my mates car broke down and they didn't make it from Ballarat. It was the days before mobiles of course, so I didn't know that. It poured rain. Alone, in the rain, stayed until the end and then some. There's been some bad ones, that was the worst for me.

Someone on TV (Bob Davis?) said in all seriousness that he thought he was watching a highlights package, such was the flood of North goals.

Don't think it was raining that night. I remember it was all clear. Perfect for the Carey show.

 

[tigersnake]

It rained. Dunno if Carey played, it was the Longmire show.

I remember that game clearly. Watched it with my dad. I was under the delusion that we were still rightly a powerhouse and it was just a blip. Dad said to me and my brothers after that game; 'we're in for a looooong, haaaard time in the wilderness fellas I'm afraid'

Even Dad didn't think it would be this long and hard though.

My 3 worst games I have attended:

* Prelim Final at Arctic park in 1995 against Geelong.
Gale broke his brothers nose...we couldn;'t kick a goal to save ourselves as Ablett went beserk....it pissed rain all day...couldn't find the car at three-quarter time when I had had a gutful of it.
It was a prick of a day!

* against Adelaide at the Dome (which if I remember right, was the same night Frawley got spat on)....think it was in 2004.
We were killed by the Crows and I remember just thinking how worse it could get...the players showed nothing and the way I felt then, I felt similarly after the Melbourne loss this season.
Just very deflated and rock bottom.
And of course, with Frawley getting spat on led to another week of garbage about Richmond in the media.

* the Geelong game in 2007 where we lost by over 150 points. Just deplorable.

.....and any loss to Essendon.
I just hate them with a passion!!!!

I don't think we really turned up to play that day. It was crap from the start.

You missed out if you left at 3/4 time. With 5 - 10 minutes to go in the last quarter, everyone where I was sitting started singing the Richmond theme song. We were still at it at the final siren and couldn't hear the Geelong song being played. ;D

The worst game I've been to as far as skills are concerned (obviously I don't get to many games these days!) was against the scum on Silvagni's 300th. We won in the end but both teams were booed off the ground at half time. It was a complete shocker. Usually, at least one team plays well.
