Docherty and Simpson were down vs Richmond last game...they manned up grass and fresh air for most of the game....the Richmond unknown smalls like Butler were left unmarked and hurt us bad, even Lambert when resting down there kicked goals because our smaller defenders wouldnt defend.
We need to play more accountable footy vs the Tigers who I dont rate but who have players who can hurt us if you dont put time into them...sick and tired of seeing a slacker like Grigg left alone and pick up easy kicks or a player like Houli setup play from half back because our forwards wouldnt chase or man him up.
These players are not that good in fact Richmond bar a few A graders are not that good and we shouldnt be allowing unknowns and C graders to win them games....

I was enthusiastic about our chances this week against the Tiggers, until I listened to BB warning us that we've still a long way to go, etc... preparing us for a let down? Just like last year? If we keep winning SOS won't be happy, he needs us to finish low so he can negotiate important trades.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

These guys reserve their best efforts for us.
It's no coincidence that we haven't beaten them since "that final".
Casboult likes playing against Richmond usually. At least I remember him having some of his better games against this mob.
Time for us to knock them off.

I think BB will want to keep the boys fired up and win as many of the remaining games as possible, starting with the Tiggers. This most important imo and SOS will have to trade and draft around that.
Reality always wins in the end.

He is just towing the party line and trying to keep a lid on it.
That fine line of talking the team up but not and as well not giving the opposition any ammo.
BB is an ambitious man who wants success, so don't be fooled by the mild mannered man with a cheesy grin.
