Hi Becky,
Well they did it again! I don't know how long it will take for the Richmond players to grow up. I've seen this too many times to count over recent years. They have a few good wins and get some of the respect that they crave and then enter a winnable game against a poor side with players out and cave in. It happened last year with Carlton. There seems to be this malaise that they believe all they have to do is turn up to win. Terry's reaction says that he is not happy and will do his best to erase this lazy culture from the club. Losing the game was bad enough, but to lose Mark Coughlan with a knee injury when he was getting back to his 2003 form was absolutely shattering. I hope that he can come back from this and maybe the enforced rest will allow him to finally get over his OP.

I honestly can't do a player of the week. The handful of players that deserve it have already been done. Maybe we can have 2 contenders after the break against Collingwood.
