Review Round 13 - Sydney Vs. Richmond @ SCG 7:50

[Dangas]

Ok tommy as quiet

Tho nice goal

But why sub him off, made no sense to me

Injured maybe?

 

[Lakeside Swan]

Horse has a serious issue at coaching in game, I mean seriously, he gets found out from other coaches when they out coach him IN a match. The blatantly obvious mistake he made tonight was leaving franklin deep on a 2 on 1... At least put tippet in there. There were many more including the Mitchell sub, there were other players playing worse than him IMO.

Yep, many of those decisions made no sense. If Buddy is getting so ragged by pretty boy, let him get up the ground into some free space and let Tippo fill the gap. That's where they both play their best footy after all.

 

[Dangas]

Half time i thought we had it easy

Game is won over four quarters. Unfortunately for us the Tigers made the most of their second half.

 

[Lakeside Swan]

Wear long stops for a start

Maybe we should move back to Sth. Melb where it rains much less than Sydney?

 

[Lakeside Swan]

Develop a game plan that is wet weather proof! It rains every week it amazes me how dumb Horse is at developing a plan.

I think that Horse doesn't want to change our game plan from the September game plan, in the knowledge that it's September that matters.

A good side (especially one with an ounce of a plan to go deep in September) has more than 1 game plan

Did he not watch the Grand Final? Whatever he is doing now it is not working.

It's not the game plan it is the structure. When our structure falls to pieces so does our whole game.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It's not the game plan it is the structure. When our structure falls to pieces so does our whole game.

Then it is a poor structure. Struggling to see how this is NOT the coach's fault here.

It is a copout to blame the coach for last night.
The players were absolutely horrid after half time. Lazy and arrogant and they got bitten on the arse.
Drex NEVER AGAIN.
I have changed my mind about Shaw. He has to go. Let Jones or Newman or somebody come in and play his role, surely their kicking can't be as bad as Shaw, surely.
Mitchell was unsighted.
Jack was good, but there was a clear lack of leadership, AGAIN!
Jetta was on fire early then went missing until it was too late.
Umpiring didn't cost us the game because we didn't deserve to win, but that was a joke and has been a pattern all year.

 

[vonn]

The thing is that that loss occurred after the GF. Aren't they hurting enough??? Having experienced that pain wouldn't u think they'd have a bit more carnt in them???

Come on dude, I imagine they hurt much more than us I'm just not silly enough to think that a round 13 game is meant to be some indicator that they're hurting.

 

[Donners]

Paul Chambers vs Tom Derickx.

Who do you take?

Ha, I did start thinking of "Torture" Chambers during the game. Chambers didn't get any kicks, and I wish Derickx didn't.

 

[The King!]

Ohh this game happened?

I tend to agree. We looked a class above the tigers in the first half and really should have capitalised on it more. In the second half the effort simply wasn't there until it was too late.

Same game plan, just different levels of effort.

I'm also thinking we may have to do something about Shaw before its too late. We're just not getting the drive from him that we need, however I'm not sure there's anyone in the reserves that can do better in this regard. Maybe it's worth robbing peter to pay Paul and having McVeigh as a permanent defender?

Agree with most of that


Harsh on drex in a sense though, we know he is a hack is all i would say

 

[The King!]

Maybe its just one of those shitful nights a club has to have, forget the result and margin in a sense, teams lose, richmond are a reasonable side

My concern is purely the mannner we lost, it was not just a good side outclassing us

It was sydney just drifting out of a game seemingly with no fight at all

But when the chips are down and things go wrong it can happen, its how we respond i will mark them on

Even in the last quarter we should of won it, we kept missing shots, it can just be a cancer in the side

Leadership was non existent

Are the cracks in this side? Absolutely, there are cracks in every side though, we arent unique, teams play s**t sometimes

But the sky is not falling, im not saying we will romp in and can win the flag, its tok early to call any club really, if we were undefeated it would be an issue we got not early for instance

I dunno, the losses just sting a bit, lucky we dont have many

 

[Banyo Bloods]

If we bounce back and play hard backs to the wall footy against Port then the pain will ease. Trying hard to put it behind me and get on with the weekend but here i am typing about it sheesh.

Backing all roby's tips no doubt?

At the end of the season, we'll look back and say to ourselves that this (and the Bulldogs match) were the games that we should have won but fooked up big time. I am sooo pissed off ATM that it isn't funny.

I won't remember either game.

 

[Syd]

Game is won over four quarters. Unfortunately for us the Tigers made the most of their second half.

So game is won over 4 quarters, yet they managed to win it in just 2???

 

[Millky95]

If it was close all game I would be happier. We went to slop in the 2nd half which is unacceptable. We have been like that for way too long. Hopefully next week we fix that.

 

[db swannie]

This board (like all boards!) is hilarious after a loss.

Jetta had a great first half, then simply vanished from the face of the earth.

Razor Ray lived up to his reputation as being the greatest clown of an umpire going round.

Next week will be interesting.

 

[TheMase]

Noticed on the coverage Buddy got a pretty stern talking to in the change rooms. Heated discussion. I didn't identify the Swans official doing it. After half time he was barely interested in making a contest. Pissed me off big time. I would have subbed him to be honest. Was a waste being out there after half time. Gave no effort and the rest of the side followed suit.

No Derickx again, has a crack but just not up to it. Get a game or two into Nankervis,, I think Naismith is still injured?

Pretty disappointing second half, but we have been notoriously bad after the bye in previous years and other teams have been too. Disappointing but just a road bump.

Shaw needs to go as well and we need some foot skills out of half back so maybe Newman is ready to come in? I am not sure Jones would play the same role and Newman would give us some elite kicking off half back.

Richards is a concern and I think moving Reid into his spot and Richards to 3rd tall should be looked at straight away. Rampe is not a KPP and we dudded our run out of half back by tying him down.

Rohan had a great first half and I hope it launches him for he rest of the year. Looking forward to return of mcglynn and Heeney.

 

[The King!]

Drex deserved a crack in Pykes absence but yeah neither of them are up to it
