Pro

I was there!

Sorry to be self indulgent but I am just rapt to pull that out.

Suck shit richmond.

Who needs Judd. Or Waite. Or Henderson. Or laidler. Or walker. Or Robinson. Or Warnock. Or Simpson.

Read that and weap Richmond.

Pros;
Jamo, Armfield, Murphy, Bell, Betts, Scotland
It was Richmond
Figjam Grigg was on the losing side.
I went and that was the first game i have seen us win since the Melbourne game.

Cons;
Umpires were terrible
The deliberate out of bounds x 2 What a joke.

Crowd was pretty poor.

Well coached tonight
I'd be disappointed if Brock wasn't given another contract. He and Robboand Bell offer some inside strength that we need.
Brock must be the player umpires bate most. Ive never seen a player get somany dubious decisions paid against him as he has in the past 5 weeks

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

Yep but that first one was a ludicrous decision....

Quite possibly, but then they didn't pay the one against Richmond in the last

Pros:
Our VFL team won
Bell
Mclean - best game for the CFC
Jamo owned Riewoldt
Betts - good tribute to Joey Andersons Dad, post game
Casboult - straightened us up, solid, and a target to kick to
Winning without 9 regulars: Judd, Simpson, Laidler, Walker, Waite, Warnock, Hampson, Robinson, Henderson

Cons:
We still won't make finals - we'll just fall short I think.
Slow to activate sub - Duigan should have been subbed half way through the 3rd.

pro - great fighting gutsy win and great win given side - one of our best wins due to personnel in the last 3 seasons
a great win for coach - did certainly played to capacity - excellent leadership tonight murphy and jammo - players definitely playing for coach the last 2 matches good to see

jammo brilliant on riewoldt

brock - excellent - great last goal

murph good
the youngsters cas bell mcinnes dale

scotland a true professional

Andy Carrazzo great job 150 games after being rookied

great that bell and casboult kicked goals

Armfield great job on Newman

cons
deliberate ourt of bounds x 2 in the last quarter absolutely shocking

Couldn't agree more , they hate him.

I can't agree that the Jamo decision was a fair one.
A) It's a wet night umpire, do you expect players to pick up the ball cleanly under pressure
B) Even if he had successfully picked it up he still would have run straight out of bounds due to the fact that he was right next to the line.
Terrible decision.

Very happy to win despite the umpires best efforts.

Pro
Definitely Jamo mopping the floor with Jack
Getting over the line despite not being at our best (even considering our outs)
Scotland's last quarter efforts in particular were massive.
Kicking straight for goal early
I love the crowd's response when Eddie goes near the ball in the forward line. I thought if we were to win Eddie would need to kick a goal or two at the end as he looked our most likely avenue. He didn't but we still got the chockies.
I thought Fraser Dale looked likely again in the last quarter when he came on. Hopefully he gets a full game at some point soon.
Umpiring can only get better (surely... Just put the whistle away, it's not that hard is it?)

Con
Clearances - We allowed them too many clear take aways from the middle. It seemed like Kreuze put a few down their mids' throats. Need to improve.
Duigan - Love the man and his intensity but have just always had and continue to have doubts that he has the quality to be in the 1s.

He's also Jack Riewoldt's barber too...

Pro: Selection - I think a lot of us threw our arms up in disbelief (myself included) at the omission of Watson, but clearly there would have been no match up for him. Sometimes the match committee actually does know a bit more than we keyboard warriors...

Pro: We have won more games when Judd is out than we have lost. Perhaps the penny might drop now for these blokes that they don't have to sit back and wait for Juddy to do it for them

Think all the others have been covered

Con: Duigan - horribly out of form. Has had a very disappointing year after showing so much in 2011. Brilliant against the pies, but otherwise has been a liability for the whole season.

A pro for me was Jeffy winning the clearances. He's been hopeless with his finishing this season but he was really useful further up the ground.


A con is that we seem to have discovered some fighting spirit way too late in the season.

Potential pro: we may make the 8 at Essendon*'s expense at this rate

Pro.

We won.

Games into guys that haven't had much of a trot.
Mcinnes. Seriously cool customer.
Army. Suck sh1t Roy.
Davies. Smashed early came back hard.

Cons.
Yazz. Great when it's dry warm and open but non existent when it's cold wet and tight.
Might be the last year we see some of these guys.

_________________
I hope Essendon* folds.

Con:

Where was this grit and determination against teams we should have flogged, let alone just beaten? We've dropped too many winnable matches this year, and to see this sort of fighting win makes some of the losses earlier in the season harder to take.

Pro:
Fighting win against the odds
Never say die attitude.
Shoving it up the premature ejaculator celebrator Grigg, and that fat turd Taylor in the commentary box.

Defending their kick-ins, IIRC they got 3 coast to coast goals

_________________
Cheats never prosper (except in the AFL)

Pros:
Great effort by a depleted side
Murphy, Bell, Jamo, Dirty (full credit to him for his efforts)
Couple of very important contests won by Gibbs (the one on the line was a brain fade)
The spirit showed is indicative of a side that WANTS Ratts to coach. Good on 'em

Cons:
I couldn't go and had to put up with the Richmond cheer squad calling the game
Horrible, horrible umpires... just horrible in general
Grigg, Reiwoldt have never beaten us
Commentators trying to dob Carrots in for a "chicken wing" - sometimes guys its JUST a tackle
All too late for this stuff - if we had brought this effort earlier in the year we would be AT LEAST two games better off - should be 11-5 and the injury stuff would be irrelevant
