Game Day Richmond v West Coast Eagles, Round 22 - 13:10 AEST, Aug 18, 2019

[Shifty1]

My biggest disappoint was again we got out to a quick start and then started to cruise from there. Richmond certainly upped the pressure from the second and alot of our defensive turnovers (both forced and unforced) were punished.

We seemed to have a "hold on" mentality until we lost the lead and started running again. Was a cracking game however and bitterly disappointed we didn't win. Hoping this is our Melbourne game from last year and we'll get our revenge in a few weeks.

 

[juss]

Yeah but that's because they are better in wet conditions. Barrass and McGovern aren't great shut down defenders. Their best asset is their intercept marking abilities and they couldn't display that because of the conditions

Why not? Grimes and Vlastuin could

 

[juss]

You beat WC by one goal.....on your home deck. Jeez Juss, you are carrying on like it was a ten goal drubbing. What happened last year on our deck, now that was a drubbing. I thought you were better than this dribble. It was a great game.

And the better KPP were a big factor in that. I'm talking about the game rather than blaming the weather which is the narrative.

 

[juss]

Its all done boys stay classy, looking forward to a rematch in the finals although the thought of playing the Pies is just as enticing.

Still think the Eagles are favourites personally have said so in many threads, but just gotta be better on the day.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Why not? Grimes and Vlastuin could

Because they go for chest marks. Barrass and McGovern try and mark above their heads

 

[Niggles]

You do realise you won by 1 goal right? Even in the wet it was a coin toss at the end. Rioli does not hit the post and its a draw.

Richmond convert half their behinds into goals, and we win by 6 goals. These hypotheticals are a poor excuse used only by fools or the salty.

You have a poor grip on reality chief. Always have an excuse for every scenario. I'd imagine most eagles fans have you on ignore to avoid the embarrassment of your constant s**t posting.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

You dish out the same tripe week after week. Even now on the Eagles board you're bemoaning the fact that the cokeheads got hard done (they didn't). Let's just replay the 2x riewoldt, soldo non-mark, lynch mark non whistle, rioli goal in the last, darling goal in the first. How many more do you want??

Kaiser complains about umpires weekly. He needs someone to blame.

Proof?

Every game day thread you're involved in. I reference your excuses weekly.

Game of the Centurions





That's Dusty

So they're idiots? Inflexible? Incapable of adjusting to conditions?

No. The answer is eagles fans making pissweak excuses.

Been entertaining reading the tripe so far.

It’s not the conditions that affected their intercept marking. It’s because the inside-50 balls were well directed towards two of the best contested marks in the competition. Intercept marking only works with long bombs into an uncontested forward line. Much like what West Coast were doing, allowing Grimes and Vlas to take uncontested marks. You can’t rely on back 50 turnovers for scoring opportunities against Richmond.

Inflexible is what I'd say. Either that or coaches told them not to change their style. Good learning experience if it rains during finals though

After yesterday Barrass nickname should be Em, what a shocker of a game. Next time we meet he will be targeted big time.

Yeah he will need to improve his agility. Next time Schofield will be in so one of him or McGovern can float across as the interceptor

 

[Bazzar]

Wouldnt worry about his agility, I'd be more concerned how he goes to water under pressure and the resultant terrible mistakes he makes. He had a shocker yesterday

 

[kaiserchief13]

The reason he panicked was because of his agility though and not being able to evade tacklers

 

[Bazzar]

Three times he coughed up goals, and the Lambert turnover wasn't a lack of agility, he handballed it directly to him. Thats being a liability.

 

[Tiger72]

Looking good for the flag this year.

Come at us.

Lambert? I thought that was Lynch when he handballed it then tackled him high? I only remember that 1 and the kick to a Richmond forward

 

[Bazzar]

Sorry, the Lambert one he kicked it back towards the Richmond goal straight to Lambert. It was the first goal in the third qtr, around 12 minutes in.

 

[wedgetail]

So the answer to this is to fold 8 Victorian clubs. Is that what you're suggesting?

Seems fair

 

[VicBased]

I personally think Richmond deserved the win and look forward to the rematch. You are just making it sound like a shellacking, which it wasn't. Best of luck for the finals.
