Round 5 Richmond v Geelong - Saturday 2nd May - MCG

[Nige]

I'm not going to reply that, not because I don't want to, but I've already said so much on this issue in the past couple of weeks and even before that and I don't want to sound like a broken record.

The fact that you're baiting is genuinely unappreciated. It's a bit of a dick move and it's very easy to kick somebody while they're down. Honestly thought you were better than that.

I apologise. I was not trying to offend, just trying to analyse Richmond from an unbiased perspective.

My issue is 'baiting' and 'analysing from an unbiased perspective' are different things. Especially when the analysis sounds rather malicious and doesn't give any credit whatsoever.

Maybe I'm being grumpy because my team isn't doing well, but yeah.

You have the 3rd worst midfield in the competition IMO - only St Kilda and Carlton have less depth. You bring in players like Grigg, Thomas, Chaplin, Miles etc instead of trading to get draft picks and get the top talent. As soon as Cotchin is tagged out of the game the intensity around a contest to help him out just isn't there.

They are probably in a worse state then we were at the end of 2012.

The difference between us and Richmond is we are a year or two into rebuilding the list. In those off-seasons our list has been gutted, the unfortunate thing about that is we have not gone after maximum compensation to help with the rebuild while getting in a few guys that make you scratch your head (Dale Thomas the main one). Simply put, Richmond (like Carlton) don't have enough A and B graders on their list with not enough quality coming through to support the ones they have.

Raisy the Premo whisperer, last night Simmo, today Jelwood :)

Haha, I don't know about that! Simmo improved, but was still an average score

Would be happy to get 80 from Jelwood considering he was 41 at 3/4 time. Like Simmo it would be an improvement, but still a poor score

I never attacked anyone personally.

I only made opinion comments in relation to my experiences of the expectations of the 99% of Richmond supporters I know compared to the reality of where they are.

Anyway I'll never make another opinion comment about Richmond here. I guess it's not PC to have an opinion.

Good to see Selwood lift.

[Nige]

Ha, from one extreme to the other.

[Jukes]

Nige learn to take banter imho :P

[RaisyDaisy]

AK, you have nothing to apologise about, seriously

You expressed your opinion, and if someone doesn't like it or takes it the wrong way, then you don't need to apologise for that.

Nige might have taken it personally, but he shouldn't have, but at the same time the timing of your comments in relation to the current game clearly struck a chord with Nige

As for being baited or baiting, that happens 100 times a week around here. I think Nige is a just a little sensitive at the moment because he's Tiges are in trouble, so that's understandable from his point of view, but again not something you need to apologise for, although it's nice that you did

Kiss and make up lads, and move on :)

[Nige]

Nah, flower that. That's no fun.

Richmond could win this.
