Autopsy 2023 Round 1 DRAW. Ugly Blues still can't close out games

[gunslingr]

LOB, you are not a rookie anymore. It’s your job to hit a target there! Control, patience ffs

The target fell and he still hit it

 

[KIMON]

Another comical finish…sigh

 

[teddy-hopkins]

That period of play where we were jogging around the full back line trying to look cool making simple errors and putting ourselves under pressure was pure embarrassment.

Whatever we worked on in preseason has just made our late game mental issues worse not better.

We need a team of psychologists- or maybe an exorcist at this point but the mental toughness needed to be a good team is just miles off.

 

[The Edukator]

You guys who are potting LOB for that last Blues play (when Harry slipped after the ball was kicked perfectly to him) are absolutely out of your goddamn minds. Time to go through the match thread and this one on an ignore spree and preemptively improve my 2023 BF experience

Opted to kick to a contest instead of an open man. Dumb footballer.

Only 1 more year of Jack Martin after this.

0 more years of McGovern hopefully.

Sadly we still have Williams on the list on a huge chunk of change too.

 

[passmark]

Probably take it. We didn't deserve 4 points for that steaming pile of shyte.

Plenty of teams win games they don’t deserve because they’re not filled with fragile peanuts.

 

[SBYM]

Buckley is right.

We should have lost by four goals and didn't.

Defence was great.

Attack and midfield, not so much.

 

[teddy-hopkins]

The target fell and he still hit it

Maybe he kicked too early but if Harry doesn't fall over for no reason we win that game. Good kick by LOB.

 

[RAPPA]

like watching an ugly fight between two homeless people for a sandwich

 

[gunslingr]

LOB is still bad. Had McKay open on his own at the end and waited too long and missed the open target and kicked to a contest instead. Dumb footballer.

He kicked it perfectly to the Carlton player who was as good as equidistant from two Richmond players. Unless you were there, or are sitting in the bunker with their ballyhooed "additional angles" you've got no clue what he was presented with

 

[xDQ82x]

Lob hit the target... Harry keeps his feet it's over.

Result isn't his fault.

 

[BlueTongue]

Sigh, just like dancing with your sister

Missed the target? He laced it to McKay. McKay fell over

 

[morningbrown]

Top 8 spots are way too competitive to throw away a game like that. Teams around us like Freo, Dogs and Port will take advantage of that now.

 

[Mondyboy]

I never want to see owies play another game. I'm sure he's a nice guy. Absolutely useless on the footy field. I don't hold it against him. He tries. He's just not an afl quality small forward. I don't care that durdin was out.. play another mid or do something random like play plow defensive forward. Literally almost anything else would be better

This.

His handball to Gov was under 11s stuff. He made two errors that cost us momentum and territory.

Hope Durds is fit next week.

Very lucky not to lose, when you are down the inside 50 count by +21

 

[reg_lower91]

What. Was. LOB. Thinking. Needed to kick 1-2 bounces earlier. Harry was out. FAAAARRRRRR OOUUUTTTT

 

[SBYM]

Thank feck Sydney didn't want George.

Harry fell over & LOB still hit him & even on his bottom, H should have marked it

 

[M_I_G]

some real weird performances tonight. a lot of ying yangs

personally thought Saad was awful, Gov had some great moments and some stinkers, Acres has a lot of improvement in him.

We desperately need some speed in this team, very one paced. Showed fight though which is a positive I spose

 

[BigFrizz36]

It's like there is a competition going on here to see who can make the biggest over reaction.

In the pre game thread there were so many going on about how good the tigers were. They were $1.60 favorites. We should have won but we didn't lose.

No one tonight is the worst player in the league. Surely everyone knows that we'll get better than tonight.

P.S. BOLTON IS THE BIGGEST DUCKER IN THE LEAGUE.

 

[rampar]

LOB needed to play hero ball when he took so long to get it to McKay. Needed to keep going

Lobs done. Seriously he will never ever make it. Trade to stkilda

 

[Milsome]

As soon as H slipped over you 100% knew Richmond were kicking a goal at the other end. Nothing more certain in life.

Spot on, we cannot defend from any position on the ground. Same rubbish as in previous years.

We meltdown under pressure.
