Training Pre Season '23

[Drunken Wookie]

I watched this clip again and none of our players are busting a gut at all

all dees players going full bore

Yep, ****ing Norf would look like world beaters against oppo going at 50%.

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

See one needs to define pressure in the modern footy game...'pressure' is not a one wood generic term...
Pressure shifts and changes through the course of a game...there is score board pressure, free kick pressure, physical pressure, closing pressure, intimidation pressure, illegal tactic pressure...
How the feck does a team/coach turn on this so called 'pressure' like a tap?!?
It's about control...what can the player/coach control!
Once the team leaves the Coaches huddle...the coaches have lost control.
Once the ball leaves the forward line the forwards have lost control.
A player can only control what he does well or not...and his oppo is of the same like mind.

Has this account been hacked ?
making too much sense

Lazy pr!cks getting paid way too much money

stand rule pits 18 players against 17 in an instant,its cheating and an abomination on the game,marking is everything,never forget rd 2 2021 when Sydney carved us on the G,my eyes were clearly opened that day,hadnt seen us toyed with like that in a long while,Sydney took 124 marks,many thru the centre corridor

That was the day we all knew that of all the recent rules changes made, that is the one that has worked.

This is why i am not overly concerned, if we lost the initial clearance our guys were jogging. I was at the game & it really stood out when i watched the "Kayo mini" of the game.

This

Wrong...it is an inconsistently applied umpiring rule...waiting for the umpire to make the play on call...how many times do we see play commence and still the oppo have not moved off from their spot waiting for the umpire to yell out play on!
A few such late umpire calls to play on in the oppo forward line can change the scoreline dramatically.
And the way we are treated by the umpires in the free kick differential...it's easy to see RFC getting the same biased treatment with late umpire calls.

Accurate post right here, it’s bordering on flat out corruption.

I’m not saying it’s necessarily corrupt against Richmond, it’s a rule that’s been brought in that allows the umpires to effectively manipulate scoring on a greater level than we’ve seen.

It is also imo, THE WORST RULE I’ve ever seen implemented in a sport I watch, it has fundamentally changed the way the game has been played for decades, and I don’t think even opponent supporters (outside geewrong) would say it’s for the better.

To have a player stand the mark and watch his opponent waltz past him and then have a free shot 15m closer than where he took the mark or free kick from is an abomination.

Fug that snake ass S.hocking and that ass hat Gil, think with the addition of the 4th gimp I’ll find the game harder to watch.

Only benefit is it makes tiger victories even sweeter.

Nah, I was there for that R2 21 match vs Swans. It was 33 degrees and our blokes were just flat as a tack in the heat. We just couldn’t sustain any sort of pressure on the ball carriers at all. It was obvious even in the 1st quarter the heat took our pressure game off us that day.

 

[Do the Dew]

But let's be honest, if it was Richmond either 'grinding it out', or just falling in' to win 11 games by two goals or less, we'd view it as something brilliant and character defining! Take my hat off to the Pies.

Eh. I'd be happy that we managed to win a lot of close games but also wary because it doesn't bode well for the future if you're relying on winning close ones.

For example the Tigers last year. We still finished top 8 and lost/drew every close game apart from 1. If we had evened the ledger then we would've finished top 4. That gives me more confidence than a team that absolutely relied on winning 11 close games to finish a couple of spots higher.

Pardon my frazzled (or should that be drug-addled) memory, but when did we win a close one? I thought we lost them all.

The comeback win against Brisbane was a close one.

Problem with those chokes is that they should never have been close.

Wouldn't be first week of season without a good dose of Meatball late-out speculation.

Poor bugger's always having to play pre-season catch-up...

 

[fargothegreat]

Graham and Ross also trained strongly. Pickett still being held back though.

 

[Do the Dew]

Yeah but even then it's not necessarily a bad thing. There's a stat that we were in front in last quarters in practically every one of our matches (only exceptions that jump to mind are Melbourne and St. Kilda). Shows that we were absolutely up to our eyeballs the entire season but just couldn't quite put it together. Prefer that then a team that gets smashed a bunch but manages to squeak out close wins.

I have seen some team pressure stat referred to during games. Above 2 is high.
Pressure acts are measured too. I think Jack Graham usually rates highly

In that case it needs to be defined...as to what constitutes a pressure act...not just label pressure as above 2%...2% what?!?

 

[Del65166]

Can't help you with actual definitions but Jack Graham is "elite."
Commentators refer to a team pressure stat too. Some champion data stat.
Data is not public.

Having said that I hope that Graham has lost his spot in the 22

Players like Graham are so underappreciated. Without players like Graham, Lambert and McIntosh running their guts out defensively every week we wouldn't have won a single one of those three flags.

I rate flags about everything. Graham's 2017 was legendary.
Graham is now behind a lot of players I reckon.
Since 2020 we have lost a lot of the premiership players. I don't know if the game plan has evolved. Edwards seemed slightly off. Still knocking the ball fwd with no one there.
I don't mind kmac continuing. He's playing kmac football. Could probably find others to play his spot.
I don't know how the Selectors are going to roll. I'd like the 22 from the final last year to play this round. With bolters from the preseason. Clarke sounds like he's going okay. We started 22 with Soldo and no pressure small fwds. Ended up with Miller who sounds like a miss..ditto Cumberland and MRJ. Sad about that.
Sonsie pretty much replaced Lambert. And TT and JH replacing Ross et al.
I think we have Graham's contribution well covered.

 

[Hank Heavenly]

we missed the 8 in 2021 and finished 7th in 2022...

Recognizing we need to continue to improve is not taking anything away form past achievements.

Kmac as the example is a limited footballer, does he give his best every week, yes, but is it players like him that we now need to improve on to go from 7th to the top, then that's also a yes.

And what worked for us in any of our 3 flag years, isn't automatically going to work for us now. They may have played vital roles then, but they may be out of the 22 now, it happens (and given there is a record that not one premiership team has ever taken the field as the same line up EVER, proves the point, even for back2back teams, players step up, other drop away, it happens)!
