Towers didn't lose us that game. Allowing Richmond to kick 5 goals at the start of the last quarter is what lost us that game. The 3/4 time lead should have been unassailable. Our midfield with the exception of Hanners and Lloyd were @@@@e tonight.It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

Towers honestly kick the ball to Franklin take time off... Cannot believe we lost that honestly wtf. It wasn't the umpire or anything that cost this one its poor decision making. What on earth was Hiscox doing when there 1min odd left not tackling the bloke on the ground..
We missed JPK

He did lose us the game. If he went wide to Franklin, run down clock, then long along the boundary line, we would have won. No doubt.Comment

Unfortunately for us Parker and Mitchell had their worst games in a while when we needed them to step up to cover for JPK. But as snajik said the opening minutes of the final quarter were the costliest. Their first five inside 50s resulted in goals. That is very unSwanslikeComment

Disheartening loss. The thing that strikes me with Richmond is that they practically sit on top of their opponents, and I wish we did the same more often.
There were outstanding efforts from some of our boys tonight. Hanners was his usual self, hardworking, not always the tidiest disposals but kept us in things. Tippett had a decent game, Rampe was terrific, Buddy likewise despite at least two clangers, Harry was good, and we had useful cameos from the new boys. We really missed Joey.
I'm not going to go through the below-par players, except to generalise that we gave up the ball too easily and didn't impose ourselves on the ruck. The best to hope for is that we learn from it.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team.

Trying to come up with positives.
Franklin was amazing (although please stay out of the midfield).
Tippett was fantastic
Harry came good in the second half.
Heeney has some nice clearance work.Comment

Unfortunately I called it at 8.33 - never underestimate a struggling team - Richmond always come good against us - dunno why - but I hope they get thrashed (Richmond I mean) from now on as their penance!! ??I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................
