Autopsy Round 14: Richmond V GWS @ MCG - Changes for Carlton

[GoTigers2015]

All credit to GWS showed a hard side to their game. We had lift a really high level in the last quarter to get over the line. Once again the clubs leaders lifted the team. Could be hammer time next week.

 

[Tony Harrison]

We aint a wet weather side, that's patently obvious. It interferes with our players awesome hair. Need to draft Shane Tuck mk 2 next year.

Milesy is getting his hands pretty dirty 'Shane Tuck' style this year.

 

[This Is Anfield]

Funny thing is if we'd played, and won, against a side with history, like Essendon, Carlton, Saints who are probably not as good as the Giants but somehow have more credibility, then it would be viewed as a better win, is this a valid view?

 

[Coach_Required]

Hope we are watching Carlton's game tonight, next weeks game is going to be tough work.

I loved this match. Down going into the last break, not playing good footy. Coach know he needed to give a spray, and gave it good. And the players responded to close the game out. When we look back this might be the match than taught this playing group to grind a match and get the win no matter what. We needed this as another step towards being a genuine premiership contender and not just an outside chance when we're "on form."

 

[jumpinjackflash]

It was a good solid win, people are forgetting what happened yesterday, many players would have been down in the dumps, especially when we have many people involved with the RFC who come from Adelaide! It was wet for most of the day so didn’t expect any clean kicking and GWS do have a better than average year, so overall good win under the circumstance.

Now to smash Carlton this week!

I reckon Ivan may be in trouble, really hope Cotchin gets off for insufficient force though

Cotch??? Did I miss something?
He hasn't been reported?

 

[copthat]

Just read through this thread after being at the game and I'm honestly astounded by the Lambert hate. Thought he was pretty good today and definitely miles better than anything Morris has produced this year. Whenever he went near it something good happened.

 

[SpudsLoveChild]

All Australian half back if they have ANY idea! Tough as these days.

You're so butch when you go all caps rage on me.

 

[WALDENPOND]

To be completely honest. As soon as the game started there was not one moment I thought Richmond would lose. Never cared about this one as far as a percentage boost, just the four points. Maybe against St Kilda Richmond could have a nice big win.

didnt get reported but will definitely be looked at by the MRP

View attachment 149270 View attachment 149271 Not best qualityas its on the Iphone and I had to shrink the size.

Hopefully Treloar likes Tiger arms around him enough.

 

[silvertiger]

IMO he needs to start. His run and carry in invaluable.
He only needs to get it 10 times to make a difference

I think they have been freshening him up. He looked a bit tired before the bye.

He should start next week and Hunt or Newman should be subbed.

Wont get anything. Barely looked at got what it deserved 50m
Ivan is interesting 1. High contact done no damage. Looked more like a coathanger then a strike. If he does miss 1 could be a blessing
He needs a spell. And if Megans bloke comes in he will murder Wood.

Sorry mate i didnt actually watch the game, im away at the moment

its in the highlights package on the rfc site

 

[theflea]

I'd argue we had plenty of ball go forward just poorly directed and poor conversion, we should have destroyed that defence

No doubt, but that midfield still got way too much ball. They out hunted us, and we need to have the same mind set like in the last.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

The way we have been performing of late,Might be best if we finish either 3rd,4th,7th or 8th so we can play finals away.

 

[Livonski]

Highlighted the absolute necessity to nail those shots that are better than 50:50. TV x2, Lids X2,Miles, Lambert.

Newman running thru F50 in Q2 missed JR by 10m was inexcusably shithouse. No pressure. Ball went straight down the other end for a goal. 2 goal swing in low scoring game.

We had chances to put them under the pump on the scoreboard. Never happened. Very similar to Dogs and Dees games except GWS weren't good enough to capitalise.

Great last qtr tho and after we kicked the first looked like we were all over them.

 

[GoTigers2015]

Out Griffiths (injured), Maric (suspension), Hunt, Lambert
In McBean (Madonna if wet), Hampson, Dea, Menadue

 

[inamedthegiants]

As expected, had a great day at the footy.

Richmond fans proved themselves to be amazing hosts. Not one mis-directed sledge. Not one incident that may have been inflammatory.

Thanks for a great day Tigers. You lads were clearly the better team and had you kicked truly we'd have suffered a bigger loss.

The umpiring was pretty bad for the first 3 quarters even had me scratching my head at times.

Any hoo, thanks for being gracious hosts and even classier winners.

There's a fair few Melbourne clubs who should borrow from your playbook.

Cheers guys.

Hardwick almost tearing up during his post match
Will give a lot of players the benefit of the doubt after watching this

[theflea]

It wasn't careless nor intentional. Maric was getting ready to ruck and as his arm started going up the other dude ran straight into it.

Haha that's exactly the excuse at the tribunal if he went up for it and they would laugh you out of the place. he saw him coming and threw his arm our and lead with his elbow across the neck/shoulder junction. the camera from the other side shows it clearly. However he wasn't hurt, so hopefully nothing to see here.

Irrelevant if its incidental contact

haha, what the fans consider incidental, the MRP considers a felony!! But I do agree it isn't much.

 

[GoTigers2015]

The team needs to adjust the game plan to cope with the opposition zoning. Our midfielders didn't cope well and kicking efficiency was low, especially the last kick into the forward line where were kicking to contests. We have to be more clinical so we do not rely on the clubs leaders to lift the team against low ranked teams.

 

[Tony Harrison]

The way we have been performing of late,Might be best if we finish either 3rd,4th,7th or 8th so we can play finals away.

All depends on Collingwood and hawthorn too then.
Love to play a final v the pies.
