Autopsy Rd 13 2017: Sydney v Richmond

[Superstar swan]

Beat essendon and we will have sides worried

Legit almost fainted from cheering when we took the lead.

Shame on those people who wrote us off in the first quarter. Should've known we were playing Richmond.

Usually we lose these types of games so it was great to get over the line.

Come on be honest you were thinking what everyone else was we were 6 goals down and playing terribly.

 

[Superstar swan]

The most encouraging aspect is we had so many poor players..one of rampes worst games

Jones was terrible as well.

That was epic. I am so ******* happy right now, haven't screamed that loud at the TV in years, purely because our season was on the line. Just a vintage bloods win.

Me too, had thoughts about turning off tv after first qtr bloodbath. Same here about screaming at tv, dog went ouside and woudnt come in, normally reserved wife jumping up and screaming in last qtr.

We were out structured in the first quarter with Bolton carving us up as well as their smalls. The Horse decided to change the tactic and run the game out to see if those guys would get tired. Dusty not 100% great team effort after the first quarter. won contested play the last three quarters to set up the win.

I was worried about grundy being too slow but the coaching team took that out of the situation through pressure play and richmond started bombing in giving our talls down back a breather.

That's why I'm not getting carried away by the win. Still plenty of room for improvement.

 

[Superstar swan]

We really need more from rohan.although he kicked a great goal..jack is done

 

[Keyter]

rance the diver.......doesnt look good at any time - looks even worse when the whole team copy's.....

Jack hip issue has caused a sharp decline in his agility and evasive maneuvers

Jack hip issue has caused a sharp decline in his agility and evasive maneuvers

which was his greatest strength...id prefer to play florent and leave him

 

[BarneyBent]

Jones was terrible as well.

Bad early, but his second half was great.

 

[myyakhasfleas]

Amazing win today, great effort to comeback after being 39-4 down during the second quarter. Still have numerous issues we still need to address (that has already been discussed ad nauseam) but this win do wonders for the mentality of the team during close tight games. Well done boys.

Rance is a diving flog too

That's why I'm not getting carried away by the win. Still plenty of room for improvement.

Richmond midfield has a history of fading towards the end of games. They struggle to defend and run back into defence towards the finish and lose a lot of games in their last quarters. It may be choking, fitness or lack of gut running. They came up against a player who NEVER stops in Kennedy. He is such a great player - big heart, frame and motor. He played a great captains knock today. Kennedy v Martin was this . . .

 

[MK38]

I know I am going to sound like a whinger but the umpiring was disgraceful (I really don't know why I am surprised anymore it has become the norm really) and while I am at it so was the commentary.

No way should Buddy get suspended.

 

[Superstar swan]

one of those days for bud, probaby his worst game for us

 

[mtooler]

Might get banned on 1 word thread in tigers forum, so before i do, go swans was a ripping win, see you when my bans over, was worth it!

 

[Superstar swan]

Surely buddy gets off

 

[MK38]

Yep I agree, although I am glad we won without him firing, gives the other players more confidence and hopefully the belief in themselves not to over rely on him.

 

[grimlock]

Bolton had a overall negative 2nd half and still finished their best player.

Did Rohan get that huge rating for the last quarter for that last goal?

 

[Grongey]

Elated at that win, another all round performance, everyone contributing. Although a bit lucky after that first half.

3 votes - the Melbourne-based supporters, we looked to be well represented in the crowd at the MCG
2 votes - Tom Papley, brilliant, good skills all day
1 vote - Sam Naismith, a clear winner in the ruck

 

[Donza]

Still a mess

 

[Jack Lord]

Hayward clutch mark and goal. Great composure for a youngster.

Classic to read this and then see that's he's been suspended.
