I reckon Houli is worth monitoring as he could be a smoky in defence.

What did we think tonight boys? Thought we were the better team in both games but were wasteful in front of goal and with some of entries inside 50. Only Nab cup but its frustrating to lose another bloody close one

I was really impressed with the depth that the Tigers
Yes there were some terrible kicks at goal but if I was a tigers supporter I'd be pretty happy

Extremely happy with the way things played out. Unlucky to lose the game against North but shower happens. Good to see Dimma had faith and trust in the younger guys to play out that second half with the game in the balance. Jroo, Vlastuin, Biscuits, Tyrone and Ellis were definitely among the best.

Really hope we smash the roos in the season proper.

Speaking of Vickery. He was not happy with Dunn about something :o
I assume it must of been something he said because there was nothing physical that I noticed

Nige · February 23, 2013, 12:45:33 PM

Haha yeah, big Tyrone certainly got fired up over presumably something Lynden Dunn said. I wonder if we'll find out. :P

Dont think we can make it now. Too many undefeated teams. Chances are the GF will be played between 2 undefeated sides

Inb4 other teams' supporters shower on Richmond for finishing 9th...

Didn't want to say it, but I thought it was better coming from one of us than one of them. :( ::)

even GWS made the 8 noobz.

Love you guys. IMO there is one obstacle Richmond have to get over and when you do watch out and that is the ability to win or close out close games, Seen it against the Roos on Friday Night and cost you dearly last year in a couple of games. 5 games lost by less than 10 points and a draw with Port. This probably cost you a place in the eight.

completely agree Ringo. :)

definitely need to close out these close ones, it was a bit disheartening to see us lose another one on friday but i guess it comes as some consolation that we were missing the entire spine of our team (Rance, Cotch, Lids, Maric etc) - full strength I reckon we could have finished them off with a win.

last year we lost like two games by over 20 points - that shows that we were pretty damn competitive against most of the big teams, and if we had of closed out two or three of those that were under 10 points we would have been in the 8.

keeping the faith, reckon we can do it this year 8)
