Round 4 stuff

[Booney]

As I said last week I take what you say @booney as gospel

This week the same apart from the fact that the hawks will win

Gray out of the Port side with a corked calf.

Brisbane should beat the Eagles, their midfield should trample ours and give the forward line enough ball that they HAVE to kick a winning score.

[gadj1976]

Carlton with no Judd or Yarran. We were terrible last week and the only saving grace was that Essendon were only slightly more hopeless.

If Riewoldt played, I'd suspect this would be a loss. This could be a nil all draw.

I reckon it will be an entertaining game that both sides will win and lose several times before the night is out. I haven't seen Carlton play at the level St Kilda showed against Gold Coast yet this season so a win for the Sainters could be on the cards.

I'll be watching it at about 11am REB, but I do agree with you!

[carey]

This might not be the fizzer we first thought.

[Spargo]

We have a leader for worst holding the ball decision of the year.

Agreed.

But I reckon it was a square up for the one not giving 30 seconds prior.

[carey]

Kick a f**king drop punt

[carey]

After a pretty good first 1/4 some of the worst skills you will ever see in the 2nd

[bennymacca]

at least it is a close game.

but to think, we could have been watching either port/hawks or sys/freo tonight

What's to say them 2 games won't be a fizzer tho?

Friday night footy will always be the way the AFL want it. Due to corporate agreements etc

[bennymacca]

my belief is that the top say 6 sides or so should get the bulk of the friday night games.

and i would think a hawthorn port or even sydney freo would get higher ratings.

I get what your saying but scheduling would be a nightmare as well. Plus they need to seen to be being fair although Carlton having 7 Friday games just for sheer crowd numbers suck. Considering they will finish near bottom

[carey]

Another kick that should've been a drop punt

[carey]

Richmond are pathetic I reckon they're done. To many front runners

[bennymacca]

here are the numbers for thursday or friday night games

Surely teams like north and freo deserve more

Reckon it could be cool to have two friday night games - one in melbourne and one interstate every week

Richmond 8
Collingwood 8
Carlton 7
Hawthorn 5
Port Adelaide 4
Geelong 4
Sydney 4
Essendon 2
North Melbourne 2
Fremantle 2
Adelaide 2
West Coast 2
St Kilda 1
Melbourne 1
Brisbane 0
Bulldogs 0
Gold Coast 0
GWS 0

[carey]

North aren't a big drawing crowd and Freo up till this year play a shit brand of footy to watch. Maybe that's why.

[Jim05]

Essendon at the request of its fans actually asked for less Friday Night games and more Saturday games

[carey]

They keep saying Richmonds leaders need to stand up, Who are there leaders? Yep Cotch is skipper but who is there 'Hodge/Selwood' like leader? Obviously they have no one on that level but who do they look towards for that inspired effort, Tackle run down what ever it may be? I just don't think they have one.

Front runners

yeah their midfield doesnt have a lot of hardness about it, except for maybe maric, and miles and he is only young

[LaughingKookaburra]

Just in case they didn't know over the last 20 years Richmond need to have a good look at them selves as a whole. It doesn't matter if they win tonight. For a proud club with a fantastic supporter base their overall performances, consistently are a disgrace. Having Reiwoldt addressing the team as the captain goes to toss the coin pretty much sums it up.

To put it in to context Port were in a far worse position 4 years ago considering the entry of new teams to the comp, they turned it around in 18 months with **** all resources compared to Richmond. I feel for the Tigers supporters and you truly are the best fans in the comp.
