Richmond 16.11.107 - Western Bulldogs 18.11.119
Oh no!!!!! We were sooooooooooooooooo close!! We had the lead throughout most of the game -- a very exciting game at that! I can't believe we let the lead get away! I can't believe we weren't able to come back! Oh, the heartache!!!

Sometimes when there's a close game like this, you can be SO PROUD of your team for matching skill so evenly with the other team, and then there are times like this when it hurts so bad because there was a lot riding on this game. I'm disappointed that we got so close and couldn't finish it off, as I'm sure the boys and Coach Wallace are too. In a day or two I'll resume being proud of our boys for their courage this entire season -- a season in which not much was expected at all, and surely not the hope of finals. But for now I'm going to sulk! :-)

Have something to say? Please e-mail me! I'd love to hear from you! Please be sure to reference the Richmond Tigers in the subject line for priority mail handling! THANK YOU!

so close but so far....

sigh

fantastic effort by the team though.. I'm sad but pleased with the effort overall.

the dogs players were very good to Cambo shaking his hand and giving him best wishes... that was good.
