Was easy over the top handball

 

[Jimmae]

Yeah would've thought with Dow out Kemp and stocker share those now available minutes. Maybe the second half is different...

Nup, still Hayes, Carroll, Trudgeon, Hirst, Williamson tucking in and Philp and Fogarty coming up when it's within 60m from goal.

Stocker still on Stack. Kemp trying to get up the ground.

Swifter ball movement, starting with Plowman.

Watched a little of that 2nd and goodness me the energy looks so low. Only person trying to play with energy and taking them on is willow from what I’ve seen. Richmond playing very tight and physical though.

I've got the match centre link and team sheet on the first post... are you able to pin that so people can see it?

I'd love to, but I don't seem to have the option

 

[Arr0w]

This shows how important Dow was for our stoppage play.

Boggles the mind that we're not deploying Kemp or Stocker in there at the moment. Yes JGM is missing as a KPF and we don't really have a KPD, but we're not getting quality F50 entries and we're way down on clearance numbers.

Put them in the action and the stuff inside the arcs will sort itself out through better pressure and ball use.

Think it's more to do with transition, no Cotts or Newnes

 

[Arr0w]

Excellent question considering that Carroll is the only CFC mid in that mix. Williamson is playing the wing role that tucks in for stoppages and has 3 clearances...

We're running a bunch of experiments here for the AFL side rather than letting players develop their whole game.

Willo has been poor, really poor

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Williamson is such a willing worker. Intercepts and follows up. Liking his game.

Kemp looking wasted up forward. Flat footed.

 

[Jimmae]

Centre square team is Mirkov, Carroll, Hayes, Maher vs Soldo, RCD, Rioli, Sonsie

Richmond have a plan involving blocks and pace, we have pace as an afterthought in one of the most free-wheeling contested situations in modern football.

How dare he

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Disagree. He's been one of the only ones showing a propensity to work.

 

[Jimmae]

Willo has been poor, really poor

He's playing on the wing, and he's not being offered any good options by foot, so he's releasing others after drawing a man. Should have created a goal out of it earlier, but Motlop was selfish.

 

[katmanblue]

Who do I believe?

 

[Benaly28]

Kemp looks miles off.

Awful kick from Kemp. Looking way off the pace

Willo has tried to do too much, rather than linking/give and go. Giving away a goal in the first by trying to get out of a stoppage was poor team ethos and selfish., summing up his footy at the moment

 

[Jimmae]

TDK was so shocked to have that opportunity he didn't even get the kick off properly!

Should have been a goal then.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Why can't we have this guy commentate the seniors?

He's got 19 disposals, 15 of them are handballs. He's not handballing them into people's toes.

A mistake is a mistake, judge his game on the whole please.

 

[F_therest]

And more disturbingly blokes like RCD and Aarts, neither of whom I rate at all, are killing us.
Carroll, Fog and to a lesser degree LOB get a pass so far but everyone else has been putrid.
Tall key position stocks at both ends are very light, which is disappointing and worrying.

Our list is really lacking in kpfs...we have no backup if mckay or curnow get injured. Tdk hasn't stepped up.

Also rucks with tdk and Markov nowhere near ready for the no.1 ruck role.

 

[Beyond Blue]

Disagree. He's been one of the only ones showing a propensity to work.

But Willo’s awareness is just so bad.
Why on earth would you try to take the opposition tackler on inside your defensive 50?
He did this a lot last year too in the 1s and rarely gets away with it.
Hopefully he might put that idea away now he can’t even get away with it in the 2s.

 

[forever blue 1]

Skills are killing them

There's a good reason.

This isn't the whole time. People just remember the bad instances during a game where as he is one of the few trying to make things happen for us.
