Blues just not good enough
Could have been blown away but kept fighting which is at least a good sign

Simon Goodwin might say "we're not that far away".

To be fair, I also don't think we are that far away. A couple of quality outside ball users and some forward structure, and we're back in the top 8 next season.

Bit of old school respect with Boak and Fyfe swapping guernseys. Quality.

Not a single post today on the Tigers v Saints. Fair enough too, was mostly rubbish. Genuine cripple fight.

The Saints and even Richmond seem to be out of the cripple area at the moment. I think it was more of an ultra defensive game by both sides.

Richmond has shown improvement and the Saints aren't full poo yet. Although Ross the boss seems hell bent on getting there

A fair assessment. 251 marks doesn't make for a great spectacle. Chip, chip, chip.

I still don’t understand why the media/we continue to talk about Goodwin(not anymore) and Voss as coaches but Ross Lyon’s name barely gets a mention.

I don’t want to be “that guy” but was there really only 18,000 there last night?

I’ve read that a couple of times today and wondering if they were just trolling

Looked like a small crowd but would be more than that, probably 30k

I was thinking 25-27000, getting 30k against Freo isn't awful. Not great, but not awful.
