Coughlan Injured…. Again
I must admit I had to check the date on this Herald Sun article to make absolutely sure, but after getting through a decent 2/3 of a game for Coburg, Mark Couglan has today pulled up with hamstring soreness. He’s likely to miss 2 or 3 more weeks. From the Herald Sun:
“The club will continue [...]
Picking 22 - Pleasantly Difficult
Just at the moment, one of the happiest places in the world, although difficult, is the Richmond selection table. Because while we’re still hanging out for a win or two to go with the positive play we’ve been experiencing, there’s no doubt that the men in charge of picking the boys to get out on [...]
The Big V Aftermath
What I Liked
There’s something that stirs within every Victorian football supporter when you see the Big V take the field, regardless of the opponent. And it was absolutely epitomised by the sight of Jonathan Brown. If Browny was in any doubt that we wanted him back playing for our team (regardless of which team that [...]
Cheering against Richo
Sure it’ll be strange, but if the big fella gets the ball and misses a nice easy one, I’ll be able to feel the relief that the rest of the league has been getting for the past however milion years. I’m actually really excited about seeing the Big V out on the ‘G once more, [...]
Round 7 vs St Kilda - One Moore Goal Away
Richmond 16.11 (107)
St Kilda 17.8 (110)
The Game
This was the one that got away. The Tigers probably outplayed the Saints for most of the game - defeated by poor disposals, a few big runs of play from the Saints, Stephen Milne and really filthy luck. The match see-sawed all night, neither side really able to break [...]
Round 7 Preview - Can we beat the Saints?
Why We Will Win
Form. It’s a little bit sad that a win, a draw and a loss in the past three games beats anything we’ve seen from the Tigers in the past few years, but we do look like a better team than we’ve been in quite a while. Pressure on our opposition, as well [...]
Round 6 vs Hawthorn - Close enough but not good enough
Hawthorn 14.22 (106)
Richmond 15.4 (94)
The Game
Tigers kept in the game by poor kicking from Franklin, but simply not good enough to beat a really good side having an off day. Roughead proved the difference, kicking 5 for the day. Another good effort from the boys, and Richo once again played the wing, which is apparently [...]
Why Bowden Needed To Be Dropped
After the Collingwood debacle, we saw Terry Wallace make a very brave move, and drop dual best and fairest winner Joel Bowden from the senior side; and left him out for a second week after the win over Freo. And something suddenly clicked. We’ve played as a team for the past two weeks in a [...]
Round 5 vs Western Bulldogs - We didn’t lose!
Western Bulldogs 19.16 (130)
Richmond 20.10 (130)
The Game
What do you say? In a game where we were expected to get blown away: we almost won. But it was a game where we had a 19 point lead late in the game, and lost. Lots to process, and to make matters worse: I didn’t get to see [...]
