Swans absolutely kicked arse !!!! The Tigs were pussies !!
Oh yeah, Swans kicked ass!!! How kick ass is it too be up by 100 points and
STILL flood your
whole team back. That kicks ass.. i wish i could watch them play week in week out.. They play the best style of footy! :roll:
Ok now seriously, we were out played by the Brumb.. i mean Swans (the amount of times they were kicking to touch i had to wonder if it was AFL or Rugby..) And the Swans deserved to win by about 10 goals. Im not doubting that or making excuses for it. Sydney outplayed us, simple as that. However i think i can make excuses for us losing by that much....

Now for my whinge, We saw the deaf umpires two weeks ago, surely the umps at the game today were the blind ones. I would like to single out that goal umpire who must have had a quid on the swans... he must of. How else can you honestly make that big of a mistake?
Now onto that clown who goes by the name of Steve McBurney, the fact that he was named All Australian Umpire for 2003 shows how 'good' the rest our AFL umpires are. He's in the wrong sport... he belongs in basketball or netball, actually no, even those sports have too much contact for his liking no doubt.
Pathetic display, i can't say much more, i can't single out a decision because there were so many. How about the out on the full that was almost in the stands and a throw-in was called. Just pathetic!
Something quick... us playing at the telstra dump gives our opponents about a 5 goal lead to start with. Have i ever said that i
hate playing HOME games at that piece of sh#t of a place? Well i do! Anyone who wants to make a bit of extra cash, whenever Richmond are playing at the dump, no matter who we arem playing, Carlton, anyone.. put money on the other team. You will be a millionaire in no time.
My last point/whinge is this, When i saw our team list i knew we had pretty much no chance. Lets look at our defence.. or what should be;
Chaffey
Gasper
Ray Hall
Andrew Kellaway
Will Thursfield
Now with all those guys out... i knew we had to kick 120 (turned out we had to kick more...
) to win the game.
So saying all that, Well done to Sydney, you out-played us (obviously
) and were great today in terms on great for the way you play your footy. Myself, if my team played that style of football... i would probably lose interest halfway through the season. But obviously some fans only care about winning, however ugly it is... and good luck to you.
One last thing, Richmond fans who walk out at three quarter time.. keep walking.. off the the Bolte bridge.
Now i move on to next week... Adelaide (at TD)
It was funny as hell, definately rates as one of the funnier footy things on tv all year so far (& yes Kev, even if it were Richmond it still would have been funny), along with the 'Eddie Phone' - I don't watch TFS that often (Only till they talk about the Richmond game) but I will concede, the Eddie phone is a winner :lol:
