Plus many other things, I think we have better top players and it ends there, also worse players too (that aren't finals standard), not to mention poor game plan, no risk-football, dumbfounding selection and plan B approach.
Play like soft sloths most the game then wake up. Richmond are collected as a side, take risks and win their ball. To well organized and the other clubs aren't.
It was a credit to his coaching tonight that Geelong got so close. Richmond looked to have it under control at three different stages, and still he nearly pinched it.
He's a damn good coach and I'm sure he doesn't present to his players like he does to the public, otherwise he couldn't inspire them to be in the mix every year.
