Am I dreaming or did I see Bootsma on Reiwolt???
Bootsma on Reiwoldt the old mans lost it.
Reckon KB might get it right this week :o
Uh oh.
Game going as expected thus far :( :(
Oh this is gonna be ugly
Tiges are going to cash in today for all the smackings we've given them in the past few years.
3 mins in and it's over. Malthouse is a joke.
Who in their right mind play a kid on the Coleman medalist. Has been involved in every goal.
Warnock feeding the mids beautifully, their mids that is.
Glad I've gone golfing.
18-0, this has 100 points written all over it.
mick should switch hendo back and plug this defence up.
Hendo has been having a cup of tea up forward, not his fault ball hasn't been down there. Finally ball comes down there, he marks kicks goal and runs off the ground having played 35 seconds of football. That is just cr@p.
MENZEL=THE FUTURE!! :) :)
Gee Menzels gonna be a player
At least MM has made the change, Jammo on Jack
Sad we are saying that against the tigers.
Walker and Scotland fumble fumble fumble turnover. goal.
Their goals are coming as a result of zero pressure.
Reckon Bell might get a possession soon
You are being optimistic.
I heard that Gibbs is opening up a new business. Bryce Gibbs school of tackling. ::)
grigg would be loving this
Is our Captain playing today?
We use to score like that, on the run with speed ::)
I have come to the conclusion that Walls was far too soft in his article on Friday.
No Juddy is out for three weeks ;) ;)
look at Henderson giving direction - that's what I m talking about
Waite and Graham have exactly the same stats.
Tom Bell IS on the field. :-\
Who's on Ellis?
funny, the way they're playing against us is exactly the way mick wants us to play
This is a team that has put the cue in the rack for 2013 no doubt about it.
anybody have a cloning machine somewhere in the vicinity of the MCG?
we need to create 2 more Hendos
Was that the same as the Bulldogs :-\
I think I saw Yarran, but I'm not sure
Rucks look better with Meat doing the work...
clue in the rack with the same team out there - mentally switched off
which, mind you, we do well and often
Just saw Yarran, he's playing :o
Betts to Mick, "If they pay me the 600 grand, I'll actually try".
fk it - get graham on now - I m losing interest
if we go down one early punish them with less rotations
Same old same old, opo players get into space and our blokes unable to gut run and go with them.
Armfield going very well. One of the best standing on a mark I've ever seen >:(
Embarrassing doesn't even cut it. The thing is I'm tired of the gallows humour. I just want them to put in an effort.
Our players are lost, it clear they have NFI what they are meant to do. *sigh*
Mick will threaten them with "No fkn birthday cake for any of you blokes". That should do the trick :-[ :-[
Quite extraordinary the ineptitude of our blokes - almost without exception.
Zero intensity.
They ARE putting in an effort. Your watching it. :(
How about the basics boys???
TACKLE FFS ! >:(
Credit to tigers, they have winners all over the park.
BTW, Bell's skill was exposed at the end of that qtr, nice kick straight to the opposition.
Was that qtr Mick's birthday present from the boys?? :( :o
Yeah, he goes to the Walker school of accurate disposal :-[ :-[
We are now on parity with clubs like Melbourne I'm afraid.
We're losing the free kick count by 100% no wonder we are 30 pts down ;D
Nice goal Gibbsy.
Waite moved to defence, I'm calling a 2 week holiday courtesy of the MRP.
Past years Yarran would have run that out of defence.
Does anyone know if Bootsma has got any intelligence at all. gave away a needless free.
Past years, yarran would have been trying.
Bootsma is a witches hat
Maybe cos he use to enjoy his footy.
I cant remember the last time we've played that bad - its horrible unaccountable footy
He's a second year player who's not up to it yet, but he didn't select himself.
You've got a short memory ;) ;)
I get the feeling tigers are not even out of 3rd gear
Did you miss last weeks game
It's like we've gone backwards 7 years
TFFT Brock!!
People use to endlessly bag a young Michael Sexton when he was learning the caper. I was one. ::)
Umpire Betts WTF??
Bell operates in slow motion.
Walker went inboard, we kicked a goal ::)
Walker will be dropped next week.
Our blokes as bad as they have been, need to realise that Richmond are an ordinary side. Not a team of champions, and they are easily beatable. Their defence is their biggest weakness.
Come on boys you can beat these weak bstrds >:D
Is Murph on the field?
It's Maclean NOT Maclain Bazil!
Bazil is a Richard Cranium, please don't expect any better.
Some heart shown this qtr, hopefully we can continue for the rest of the game.
Bootsma should not be out there....
Mcguiness has been very ordinary, Armfield has done zero, Bell the same. That's three passengers. hard to win a game with one passenger let alone three.
This quarter has been much better. I'm not watching, but from what i can gather the tackling pressure has gone up, 57 - 51
mclean with three goals this quarter
edit 63 - 51 tiggers reply.
Better by Bell. Needs to show that he belongs in the team.
Who's McLean, I thought we had MacLaine out there ;D
Why we can't play with heart for 4 quarters is the question.
TBH he had a lot of support - you walked 2 foot taller with christou dean sos et al
Bad drop that by Levi. I've been pushing him up for weeks instead of Rowe on the basis that he can mark.
maybe graham starts the second half
Great G@D 2nd qrtr by us! Robbo and McLean outstanding for me.
Armfield has totally shut down Ellis. Bell has started to get into it this second quarter.
At the ground. Would like to see vision of Bell sh1t-mixing Cotchin. Possible?
Thats what I like to watch Commitment!! hate losing but I can cope if we have have a red hot go for 4 qtrs, Gibbs has been good and for all his failings Robbo was instrumental in that qtr
Agree. Simmo been very good, and if they get the ball to Gibbs, God forbid that he should go in and get it himself, he's been dangerous.
Hope Bell is OK - I want to see more of him in the 2nd half. Great hit he delivered but hurt his leg I think.
Bell might have hurt himself. We'll see if he comes out after half time.
Great efforts from Brock, Robbo and Simmo in that quarter.
Waite into defence is good. Zac has quietened Martin. Armfield has shut Ellis out of the game.
Yazz and Eddie... cameos only.
We still fumble too much.
Dinger looks to have injured his leg whilst trying to kill Cotchin.
Hendo staying at CHF is excellent.
Exactly and probably more reason why people should perhaps cut Boots some slack. It's not his fault that MM has no love for Laids or Duigs and the failure of any key forward to put his hand up has robbed him of Hendo as well. Judge Boots at 25.
Did we play "that" much better in that qrt? I thought the Tiggers just gave up thinking they'd cruise this game in.
Good to see our tackling intensity go up.....definitely helped our game.
Waite going back was very influential too.
Curnow doing well on Cotchin.
Armfield, I thought was absolutely pityful but according to the commentators is doing a job on a tigger??? Got me beat!! ::) Just not happy with some of his chases....only puts pedal to the metal 6 strides in.
Better Qrt obviously but we'll see which Tiggers outfit comes out after half time and if we can keep up!!
Great comeback in the second term.
Great to see Yazz burn out of defence a few times makes us a far more direct side cuts out the crap in the middle.
Bootsma still scratching my head how he gets a game.
Warnock playing really well in the ruck.
Dirty Mclean could've had 4!
The job Curnow is doing on Cotchin is great. He's gotta be off the trade table (Curnow)... just has to do more offensively.
Agree with you Big B. I reckon Armfield is cr@p today.
Remember Zemplas and co. not much upstairs with any of them.
The Tiggers will come out focussed and start the 3rd like they did the 1st... Hopefully this time we won't gift the Tiggers by putting our string bean on their Coleman Medalist :o
@Bignic
Yes, Simmo has been great. I also think we should persevere with Waite in defence - we've been suggesting that on here, well a few have, for some time. He'll be more durable there too!
hope they build on that 2nd quarter
I d like to see how the tigers respond when the pressures really on after they thought it was in bag
Agree Baggers - I'm a convert to Curnow! Must keep him.
If they call themselves AFL footballers, they will be switched onto that.
Score please somebody .
stuck in west Qld. today . no coverage .
Kudos to Mick for making some good moves.
Just about to start 3rd R 62 C 58
I know it's not supposed to have any effect, but virtually all the goals have been kicked to the end that Richmond are kicking to this quarter.
Ill post a score every time I post GIC.
Murph better today
Thanks GC .
Blues 64 Tigers 63 Simmo goal
Need this Simmo
Now farken go on with it
Sorry, I meant sandsmere. :-[
GIBBS YOU GUTLESS WONDER >:D >:D >:D >:( >:( >:(
No hands in the back
Needed harder running by Levi so that Hendo had someone to kick to. Now they get a .......point.
64/64
Yeah, Levi letting himself down today.
Gibbs at last bends over the ball, and we get it out. Why can't he do that all the time.
Levi, very weak attempt to tackle.
Bell, bumps instead of tackles.
Betts stupid pass
Come on boys, they are buckling use your brains.
Gee we are good and manufacturing fark ups
Playing like he's in the two's
71/64 Richmond in front, sandsmere
Betts finally showing something.
Menzel showing them how it's done!!!
Thanks bignic .
he looks like a young campo
Levi totally lacks awareness of where the ball is once he misses it. He's got the build and the marking ability, I hope he developes a footy brain during the Summer.
Goal Menzel sansdmere 71/70
Goal Tigers through crap effort by Bootsma. 77/70
Pathetic free in the centre
Boots a having a game to forget today. Hopefully he has a good preseason and we see better next year..that's what it's about now
Bell can't kick
And should have passed ball onto Touhey. No brains, and nothing like Kouta, either.
Point Tiges, 78/70
hows graham going
Got the build, but has been very disappointing
Who got subbed
I stand corrected, thank you. Who's off I missed it. Typing too much ;D
At least Nick Graham can tackle!!
Levi great mark goal 78/76 That's what he can do and Rowe can't.
Beautiful Nick Graham handball clean hands love it. 78/76
I dont care what anyone says, apart from his size, Bell is awful
79/76 point Marich
Betts gibbed it
Got to get a goal here
Slot it Caz
Must admit, didnt think Levi would make it - didnt think he;d be fit enoug - but he's growing on me
Levi marks, 15 metres out kicks a goal 82/79 Blues in front Sandsmere, but don't break out champers yet.
He's clunking them and that's the main thing. He's also good in the ruck. What he needs to do is not vanish for half a game.
I can see him being a real player in the 2 years, it was only a matter of time today before he took the big grabs, for me I love watching him play
Thanks nic . Jesus it's tough not knowing the scores .
FYI: http://www.stream2watch.me/football/richmond-tigers-vs-carlton-blues-live-stream
stream
Easy boys and girls, he's dont jack shizen to date. Taken a few nice grabs in the square today, gotta do a hell of a lot more yet. He has the tools to take a game by the scruff of the neck, when he does that, he will have arrived.
I'm actually more pleased to see Casboult's second efforts in some of the contests. He's got the ball out a few times in follow up from ruck contests.
I'll put them up as soon as there is one. But I know how you feel, especially if you don't get a score for 5 minutes.
unsure whether boots is the new Bower...
One qtr to go, will we fight or will we fade away?
Last quarter just started in our forward line.
Snap touhey point 83/79
Rushed point tiges 83/80
Thats what I was saying before, Cotchin kept running, Ed carked it.
Touhey 55 out goal 89/80

Foot on the throat Blues
does anyone else develop a semi when we kick a goal - our water girl is CUTE AS HELL.

Lol, now McLean is called McVee.
