    Oh - and well done Aliir for his comeback in that last 15 minutes. Nice to see.

      I got so angry early in the 2nd I voluntarily got up, picked up the remote and put mute on. If you didn't know better, you'd think Cling Wrap is a veteran from Richmond, not geelong. The love in in the commentary was too much - been much more soothing with the mute button turned on.

        Hope this thread isn?t going to be umpires all night long. Minimal influence from where I?m sitting. Tigers are very good and doing more right than us. We?ve done well to be 2 down at half time.
        Few of our slower players need to dispose instead of trying to break tackles.
        Still a chance but need a huge second half from everyone.

          Might be risky to say this but I would not be surprised if we ran over them in the second half. If we play with more precision and confidence we could be ok.

          Rohan, Heeney, Buddy, Rose (yeah I know) need to improve. We need to run, run, run.

            Loved how it took a non-officiating umpire to call it though - the one nearest didn't appear to pay it.

            We are killing ourselves coming out of back 50 with poor turnovers. We are right in the game (helped by tigers wasting some chances at the end of the 2nd), but struggling to get much of the game played on our terms.

            Good game of footy though.

              Yes not the type of behaviour you would expect from an OMG's Enforcers son

                There's nothing like playing a good team to show up your weaknesses. Horses loyalty to KJ and Hanners is admirable I suppose but we won't win this year if we have to keep carrying them. They better improve sometime soon.
                It's games like this where Gary Rohan always goes completely missing. I really wonder why we persist with him.
                The three of them need a big second half.

                  Kennedy excellent that quarter. Parker and Hewett also did some good things in close. Jones and Cunningham also did some good things. Plenty of players fighting hard. Stevic once again the best for Richmond.

                    All I'v heard at half time is how poorly the Swans are playing and hpw awesome the Tigers are.
                    Not one mention that the Swans outscored them that quarter...
                    The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.

                      I agree , it?s half time we have played poorly and can only improve

                      Yes if I was only listening to the game without vision I would be surprised to hear Swans only 13 points down not 7-8 goals

                        Yes anyone would think they have gone back to back to back etc. If they lost Nankervis or Reiwoldt - forget it. I know we'd be in trouble if Sinclair went but Cameron is improving a lot.

                          What's with the fumbles? Is it slippery out there? Is that even possible with the roof?

                          Hanners, love ya, but you've gotta go.

                          Wish we'd stop kicking and handballing straight to the tigers.

                          Missing Paps out there in the forward line, he's so good at giving us a bit of mongrel.

                          The commentary was so bad on the tele. I put on MMM paused the tv until the commentary on the radio caught up and I'm much happier. Even putting up with "Llllllllllloyd" is preferable to the tv commentators. At least they call the game.

                            Surely we won?t hit so many Tigers going forward in the second half.
                            Poor Haners has hit one every time I think.
                            Aiir is much better when he goes for the marks.

                              Yep agree here. I'm a Rohan fan and want him in the team but he's had a very poor year this year, even by his standards. Perhaps his personal issues are really effecting him? And the other 2... at least Jack has had a couple of decent games. Dan not so much...

                                Rose is like some giant blonde crazy duck, madly flapping around and bouncing off everything without having an impact.
