Autopsy AFL 2020 Round 10 - Tigers v Lions Tues August 4th 7:10pm AEST (Metricon) Match Highlights in OP

[Hollow Knight]

Lucky us didn’t have to travel

Sounds like you are leading the prosecution to have an asterisk put next to Richmond's 2019 premiership, but you do you big fella.

The irony and lack of self-awareness in this post is stunning.

We keep getting told that not getting on a plane makes it effectively a home game when it comes to games at Marvel...

Perhaps you should check your sense of irony.

We just saw what 4 day breaks do to teams. They were never in and they have an injury. Geelong tomorrow night after just returning from Perth. Collingwood have a stupid fixture as well. Meanwhile the Eagles sit in Perth living it up.

Thought the game deteriorated after half time.

Richmond was coming off 7 days v Sydney (8), 6 days v North (7), 6 days v GWS (6) and 5 days v the Dogs (6). Now have 4 days to Port (5).

Brisbane shouldn't be too disheartened. This wasn't their game to win.

McStay McInerney was great in the ruck, where I thought we'd have a big advantage.

Yes, pretty hard not be aware the Tigers are missing some players, given it was mentioned about every 5 minutes by the commentators during and then immediately after the game...

Interestingly Brisbane also had 5 best 22 players out tonight and came off a four day break compared to a 6 day for Richmond. Richmond won fair and square. Well played they where awesome even scary at times. But the extra level of mayo referencing despite injuries etc.... Isn't really required if not a little misleading.

Was there any travel in that run Ron?

How are they comparing Balta and Rance when they are comparing Rance's debut season against Balta's 3rd season as a defender in the best team in the comp?

Maybe because this is Balta's first time actually playing as a defender for us as a permanent position. Been thrown everywhere at VFL level. Forward, Half Back, Ruck, Full Back amd had a stint on the wing at some point. Hell, in his games at AFL level last year played as a KPF.

So yeah, EXACTLY like Rance he has been thrown around, settled and finally found a permanent spot.

They were comparing their first seasons as a KPD. This being Balta's.

Gabba/Metricon = MCG/Kardinia Park would be a much fairer comparison.

In any case, my irony meter is well calibrated. The criterion was travel, not home ground advantage. If people want to claim that Brisbane travelling to a city an hour away is an unfair advantage to us in terms of travel, you've gotta take a look at Richmonds 2019 season which had 17 games played in two stadia within 6 kilometres of each other.

If you kicked straight it would of been a different story. Probably not have won but would of been close. Unlucky The lions.
We needed to win this or next week as it was very crucial to our run into the 2nd half of the season.
I wouldn't be so shattered with a loss to Port away.

No, everybody knows Richmond gets a dream fixture every year and never travels far from the M.C.Gabba.

 

[Grockadoc]

I would expect us to rest a few, prob 4 or 5.

Will really see how our depth goes

Realistically going 2 and 2 in this 4 match block would be a good result.

So to be 2 and 0 free hit with a young team off 4 days against port port then back to play gc.

Wouldnt surprise me to see cotch and riewoldt rested for starters.

Expect 3-5 changes. Mentioned by a club official before the game.

There is a phrase "quality over quantity". 2 of Richmonds outs have been AA in either 2018 or 19, while another won the B&F in a premiership year.

 

[OhhDeledio]

I guess we will see if port are the real deal next weekend When we play Richmond

i usually back us in every week but i reckon next week is the one we drop

19 actually.

It doesn't work that way. Rich, Birchall, Lester, Martin and McStay are just as important to Brisbane as Richmond's outs are to them.

Listening to fagan it was a close game apperantly

Ahh, I get it. The criteria is the BF classic "Whatever suits my argument at the time". Gotcha.

They're not half as good though, so Il disagree. The gap between the quality missing is significant, so if we get ours in we can expect a higher level of output from them compared to the opposition counterparts.

 

[Lsta062]

This happens almost every time. I think Brisbane will come close/beat us but then we win comfortably. It could be a mental thing for Brisbane tbh. They had plenty of opportunities but messed it up more often than not. Oh well, they are still a good team so expect them to bounce back.

It's not as big a gap in quality as you think anyway as Rich and Birchall in a Richmond jumper over the last few years wouldn't be much different from Houli and Edwards. Martin is probably a better ruck than Nankervis. From there your point stands as Lester and McStay are probably in our bottom half a dozen best 22 players. Regardless having had to replace all these guys in the space of about a week and a half hasn't exactly been easy for the lions. We had a player on debut, another playing his second and another his third.

 

[SunshineBoy]

Liam Baker out of the rookie draft - that’s just criminal.

Dylan Grimes preseason draft, Kayne Lambert no 46 Rookie draft

 

[Ron The Bear]

Birchall was a top player once but is 32 and has played 16 games in four years. His experience might've been handy. McInerney could hardly have been better as a stand-in ruck.

Richmond's outs are four players who've been AA squad in the past two years plus two dual premiership players.

You're not comparing apples with apples. Our blokes have been there and done it.

We had 11 players under 30 games out there tonight, but I get your argument
