      I hope Roos unleashing 4 full on quarters against the tigers in round 22.
      The way we play the Tigers will most likely unleash on us, Solid win tongiht by the boys but I would like to see the kids see more game time.

        Dare I say - we'll beat ESADON then get beaten by the Mighty Tiges - their first win in 12 games!

        ....wouldn't be surprised.

        BUT, well done tonight fellas - would have been a tough week - as evidenced by Bally's face after the game.

        Go Bloods!

          LOL sadly agree with your statement!

          It should be no suprise we beat the top 4 Melbourne in Melbourne, yet lose to ninth place North Melbourne with a 40 point lead at 3/4 time.

          Interesting and as Roosey said tonight FRUSTRATING season.

            The tigers (bouyed by all the good news this week about coaches) play two cellar dwellers in Adelaide tomorrow and Hawthorn next week. Win just one of those games and they go to 5 wins.

            Come round 22, when they play us, another win will see them loose their priority picks. Wallace wont let that happen.


            Just hope they win one of these next two.

              Not quite sure how Wallace is going to stop it! Seeing he isn't their coach until October 1.

              Danny Frawley will do everything possible to win a few games. They will throw everything they have at us.

              Danny Frawley will want his last match WON. We will have to be on song.

                Fantastic win - disappointing last quarter (again - lots of them this year), but given I didn't think we would be up for it tonight, it doesn't matter this week.

                Hopefully we'll see 4 quarters of good, tough flowing football from now, for the last two rounds plus finals.

                Looking forward to watching the game tomorrow (couldn't only see snippets tonight).

                Surely it's time to let Kennelly loose into the midfield full time now too.

                I see Maxfield was reported too. From what I saw Read should be reported as well.

                    Knowing wallace it wouldnt suprise me if its written into his contract!

                    But the players will be instructed for an honourable loss in round 22, not via frawley.

                      Geez I hope the players don't think like you barry. It is anything but a walkover.

                        Oh please. As if.

                        The tigers will be up for a win. Winning is more important than a priority pick.

                          Great win.I had to laugh when Maxfield got reported.
                          Finally the umpires were consistent.
                          Consistently awful to both sides.I hope Barry forgets the umpires exist because he is getting so frustrated and appealing to them at almost every contest plus he is taking out his frustrations on opposition players which might come back to bite the team if he doesn't watch it.
                          How good was Tadhg and Leo and Micky? Fanbloodytastic.
                          Although it was painful to lose the Roos game winning 2 out of 3 against Brisbane,Kangaroos, and Melbourne is more than acceptable,

                            Will you lot get a grip.

                            This is RIchmond we are talking about. If we cant beat them, we dont deserve to be there.

                            I am sure officialdom at tiger land want a priority pick. No doubt. They are focused on 2005, and want 2004 to end as soon as possible.

                            The players might want to win, but a lot of them are at the cross roads of their career, and at these times its not wise to back the option that wont be there come monday.(ie doing it for spud)

                            Honourable loss. Mark my words. Some things are bigger than winning games.

                              Maxfield - his charge won't even make it to the tribunal - absolute rubbish he even got reported.

                              Roosy being interviewed on 3AW now!

                                I'd be more worried about the scuffle he had with Read in the 3rd quarter.
