There is a reson Richardson didnt get a senior gig!

Post: # 1462163Post WinnersOnly »

There is a reason Richardson took so long to get a senior gig is that he has NFI about the game!

Another disgraceful performance by a team led by a coach who thinks tackling pressure is the panacea to all our weaknesses!

Well done Pelchen you will be the only attending the games by the end the year!

Watters last year and Richardson now.
Can you please advise as to who our next coach should be?
Richardson did a fair job the first few weeks when he had something to work with, are all the injuries his fault?

List List List.
Oh did I mention List?

Jock McHale and Leigh Matthew's love child could not get this list higher than 3rd bottom this year.

It's easy to sit behind your keyboard and take pot shots. How about you share all your wisdom and tell us all what Richo should be doing? Make a constructive comment.

The writer of the OP needs to go and take a cold shower. Before you turn the water on, have a look at our injury list and the number of games the younger players have. We are going to lose plenty of these games in the near future. And ask yourself the question, if not Richo, then who?


Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

WinnersOnly was a respected opinion on this forum in my opinion. Considered and well expressed views.

But he has now joined that exclusive group of irrational extremists whose say won't ever get taken seriously.

A top 8 team shouldn't struggle against the team who were one of the most tipped for the spoon.

Also coaches can't make players kick and hand pass better.

Surely this is trolling mods?

Really, it cant be construed as anything else.

Some predicted we wouldn't win a game. We have won 3 and after the break, the kids will come back fresh, a few injured players may be back and we might win one or two more.

However unless you are a novice at this game you must know our list is in rebuild mode and nobody could do anything with this bunch at the moment.

Really poor OP.

If he writes something considered and well expressed he'll be taken seriously.

This is the first thread I've looked at since the end of the game. I note the time it was posted was at 6.12p.m. - About half way through the 3rd quarter or towards the start of it.

The first half was an embarrassment. It really was. No pressure, no effort, no energy, no care. It was disgraceful footy against a team that is talented but still very young, and are basically flat track bullies at this stage of their development.

The second half, once we started to pressure the opposition, get the ball and RUN we looked far better. In fact by the end of the game I was reasonably satisfied. Thought Longer wa fantastic in the ruck against a far bigger opponent. The kids all went okay in the end. There was still horrific mistakes, but I reckon if you can't cop that, you better look away for a few years.

As supporters we just want to see EFFORT. We got that in the end. Now we need to see it for more than a half. Supporters have every right to be frustrated with that first half, and not accept it. Ju8mping on a forum at half time though is not the smartest move I reckon.

Ridiculous post Winners Only.

However starts are concerning, and that is one thing the coach IS responsible for.

It's been consistently poor this year.

Once is fair enough, twice interesting, 8 times is a habit.

Fix it Alan.

Thanks.

Ok I went to early and embarrassed myself - I apologise to those offended!

I actually like Richardson but our poor starts have cost us the ability to be competitive in games. The opposition are now preying on this and tearing us a new one in the first half of games. That and our lack of risk taking, our insistentence on looking backwards for handball options and playing the boundaries is doing my head in!

We have lost our sense of belief and hunger we had earlier and to me Richardson is responsible for this!

Jesus over reaction much. We have a really young inexperienced list who are learning the hard way about the effort required at AFL level. Today after a disastrous first half they dug deep to turn the tide (perhaps with GC taking their foot off the pedal a bit). That is a step up from the Hawthorn game where they were deers in the headlights for the whole all game. Baby steps. If you are 10% slower team these days you get killed on the break. Due to poor drafting and development we are a slow team with average disposal. The first few weeks was pure honeymoon. This is the reality of where we are. Welcome to reality. That's what Richo is dealing with. You should to.
