My brain uses AIML to format responses to your inputs, but I don't have one for that. Are you a student?

J26 - did u watch the game on TV with rose coloured glasses on???

I watch it in the knowledge of the result.

We turned it over frequently very bloody frequently - worst offender Licca but not on his pat malone Hell - Bucks did it and Jimmy was far from clean had a dirty day!!

I thought Clement was one of our 'cleaner' ball handlers for the day.

Only boys who could truly hold their heads high were Johnno and Rhyce - Presti broke even

I'd add Bucks to that. And perhaps Burns.

Egan and C3 were disgraceful - no heart, no attack on the ball, didn't chase, didn't man up

Both young, they'll learn. Yeah, they were awful, and a spell in the twos is on the horizen.

Davis was poor after the incident with Newman - but wasn't much chop even before that

The day should have suited him, too. Had an injured from the Newman clash.

Rocca - semi dangerous FMG - couldn't outbody and outmuscle a muppet like Gaspar - my dead gran was more dangerous

At times, I thought he was "semi-dangerous". Call it as you see it, I guess.

What is "FMG"? Is that something to do with your goat?

what actually happened didn't see it as we only got 1st q goal lowlights and missed the entire 2nd q , resumed in the 3rd.

Pathetic I couldn't be there and it hurt all the more hearing the pain on the distance of a radio. To let these pretenders touch us up is disgraceful.
They had prepared themselves to play wet weather football we had no clue or heart. We have a lot of ground to make up and a lot of questions over our heads. The saints will be a lot harder than we think if we come to play with the same pissy soft metal rock star attitudes.

Soft - black and white marshmallows.

Do that again next week and the Saints will steam roll the weak and soft team that played yesterday.

Full marks to Plough - MM was beaten at the selection table once again.

How did the Tiigers know 4 days out that Sunday would be the wettest day of the week ??? and the Pies didn't ???

Piss poor effort and C1 is left in the Gulls and we had no one to show any ticker at all.

A netball team could have beaten the Powderpuffs yesterday.

What annoyed me thre most Yesterday is that it looked as if our players were afraid that they were going to break a nail or something!

To see 4 Collingwood players allow one Hungry Richmond player take the ball away was a discrace!

Too many talls and too bloody soft sums it up for me.

We seem to lack hard nut/extractors this year and the players didn't seem to want to know about the conditions and how to play in them today.

On a day tailor made for the likes of Davies, Booch and even the Chad, we went in with Wakes, Travis Egan and Pendles.

Not knocking the kids but it was a day for the 'in-and-unders' who don't mind getting hit hard.

Big worry is, that our usual inside/hard nuts like Cheesy, Burns & Licca are not getting a lot of hard ball this year & the kids coming through a mostly outside types.

I guess that the COLD & WET weather was such that the guys didnt want to get wet,didnt want to get cold and wanted to stay in doors for the whole game....blimey what a pack of wooses.
Next week St.K,but where is it played at 'THE DOME' no rain,no wind and under cover,........come on fellas,stop pretending

uuuuu..... The LoneSTAR · Mon Jul 03, 2006 11:46 am

Oh the shame,... mauled by the Tigers!!

Gee didn't we make them look good playing like millionaires!!!!! Thank god they are actually shit,.. otherwise they could've really made a mess of us!!!

They were always first to the ball, had numbers everywhere, disposed of the footy much cleaner than we did & generally won the contests cause they wanted it more AND our tackling was weak enough to allow them a CLEAN handball whilst being held!! In fact their handballs whilst under pressure were better than ours without any or minimal pressure at best!!!! Just what we as fans DO NOT want to see!!
The umpires were terrible but don't think that would've made much difference to the scoreboard.

Great to see Rhyce spreading his wings & Johnno getting his fare share. Thought Tarrant ran hard all day & contested very well & Presti was also good!

Overall,....

i could feel a let down all week.

Logic says we should have won but Richmond have had our number in the last few years and the trend was set in the first quarter.

Our terrible selection finally caught up with us..did anyone tell Malthouse or the players it was raining? why would Wakelin be played infront of Dale Thomas? When was the last time these players actually played in the rain?

I was extremely pissed because i thought our top 2 was over..These are those kinds of losses that destroy confidence and send a team spiralling down the ladder. God knows weve seen it at Collingwood before.

But last night, the Bulldogs gave us a lifeline.. Not only did they beat the eagles meaning top2 was still alive but also Dean Cox goes down with a massive shoulder injury and all of a sudden W.C are vulnerable.

If we lose to St.Kilda I think our top2 is gone and top4 in severe danger. Even though our run home is very favourable.

If we beat St.Kilda last week can be forgotten and we can go back to business as usual, with freo and a coxless weagles coming up.

Go Pies

Agree, our handballing was a disgrace. How many not under pressure didn't hit the target? way to many.

Syd_Magpies_Girl · Post by **Syd_Magpies_Girl** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 1:09 pm

Not enough pressure on the Tigers.
Handballing was shithouse, and there weren't enough kicks....not to mention there mark ups weren't impressive either.

Fingers crossed we beat St Kilda...if we don't, then our finals line up is definately in jeopardy.

Well I've finally got away from answering messages and phone calls from all those Richmond idiots out there. Unfortunately I didn't have any comebacks for them.
Lets hope we can get back on the winners list against the Saints and find some consistency. Two real bad losses lately show signs of a team that is getting tired. Richmond had the benefit of the weeks break and had this game marked us a crunch game for their season and it showed in their endeavour. Lets hope we can regroup and find some freshness and willingness to do the hard things that got us to we were are now.

Another game to put in the past but learn from
