Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 4 - Tigers v Dogs Sat April 8th 4:35pm AEST (MCG)

[RAPPA]

Cotchin as sub. Poor. Brooke needs to have a hard word with him.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Once it got outside it looked like Richmond were going to score every time. Lot of pace with the ball.

Midfield just got punished too much inside

English is a superstar of the competition

 

[Farang83150]

Good win that, BD's deservedly get the 4 pts.

 

[telsor]

Wierd game.

I'd say Richmond was the better team, but apart from the 2nd qtr, the dogs outplayed them. Weather was a factor. Dry track might well have changed the result.

Dogs would be very happy with this result. Tiges would be kicking themselves. 8 pt game.

Whilst the umpiring was poor it wasn't the reason Richmond lost this game. They were too risky coming out of D50 which resulted in a few turnovers 60-70m out. They were also fumbling the ball a lot, whereas the dogs were cleaner when picking it up. Cumberland particularly I noticed was horrible by foot and fumbled a lot

The McComb free was dodgy, but I agree. Grimes and Young trying a 60m switch kick into the middle of the ground when we were already up made no sense and was poor game awareness. The resulting goals from turnovers were costly.

Imagine if the dogs didn’t have bont. Would struggle to win. Wins ball. Makes good decisions. Outruns other team mates defensively.

Richmond too sloppy too often in execution but I'd rather see them playing this type of footy and see how it goes.

Bont lifted in the last and the Dogs dominated large chunks of the game.

 

[mrmonkey]

4.12 in the second half the Bulldogs had control just couldn't put Richmond away.

 

[Grockadoc]

English is a superstar of the competition

Yep. Was my worry all week. Nankervis has been horrible most games this year. English is a gun. Was always gonna get towelled up. We just had to be able to limit the influence their.mids had on the contest with English's ruckwork and we couldn't.

 

[Warwick]

Clearances 43-25.

Thought mortgaging their future for Taranto and Hopper was going to solve their sole weakness?

Definitely signs in the first quarter that you were going to open us up but poor kicking turned it over and often lead to a score down the other end. Once it was cleaned up in the second quarter the Dogs looked vulnerable. Rain and half time came at the wrong time for Richmond.

Be nice if we had a decent tap ruckman.

 

[Elixuh]

Taranto and hopper are horrendous relative to the price Richmond paid. Not good

Nank is ok
Plenty worse rucks comp

It looks bad now, but if it allows Cotchin, Prestia not to play 23 games, or be used as sub occassionally, it will work out, imo.

 

[PetterdHoisted]

Straw man at absolute best, pathetic

WhY DoNt ThEy UsE A FeW Top-3 DrAfT PiCkS On MidFiElDeRs LiKe We hAvE ??

ThEy So SiLly.

just lol.

 

[Grockadoc]

Nank's around the ground stuff and follow ups are solid. But he ALWAYS gets smashed against rucks.like English, Gawn, Grundy and Nic Nat who are mobile but also great tap ruckmen. It's why we looked better in the second when Ryan was in the ruck.

Give them time.

 

[Royce Hafey]

lol typical Martin the quick dinky kick and receives the handball to pad the stats having done nothing all quarter long

That's so typical of Dusty, isn't it? The bloke who, in 2017, won a Brownlow by record margins whilst reducing his possession stats from 2016 (when we were famously s**t). I know some of our supporters have been obnoxious towards the Cats recently, but this is a good example of how Cats posters have been equally obnoxious.

Both very average

The inside 50 count was a worry. Richmond are too patchy at the moment.

Dogs could have made more of their opportunities too.

I thought the dual between Naughton and Tylar Young was a good battle.

 

[VinnieB]

Richmond's future 1st for Hopper? GWS loving it!

 

[Some Idiot]

How is it dodgy when he copped a clear high whack?
I agree the defender couldn't do much, but it was clear high contact and wasn't a duck.

 

[PetterdHoisted]

Great play Dogs, waited for the Tiges to make the mistake, then toughed it out to hold territory.

Dimma 0 - 1 Bevo today

Second quarter was just a weird blip where the Dogs must have got unlucky in the centre clearances, because their midfield is 2x better than ours.
