Jesus Wagner..... VFL effort pal

 

[Charlie_s123]

Was already on the ground? Where’s that Ellie umpire when you need her?

 

[Deemanding]

JKH delist

 

[Charlie_s123]

Ok, Jones was under pressure but you still expect him to get a handball off.

 

[Dancing Potato]

JKH! Your time to shine!

You...handballed it to Jones' feet...

 

[alphatool]

Petty should smash somebody, at the moment everyone is pushing him around like a kid, if he goes in hard people will respect him and think twice before a contest. Getting suspended for a few weeks would be worth it.

 

[PerfectFooty]

What? where's the blowout?

 

[Cannon82]

Free kicks 12-4. Reckon they missed at least 6 or 7.

 

[saj_21]

A bit to like in that first half. Just need to stop Richmond’s forward exit from stoppages. And more forward 50 pressure. You can see when Richmond get out of forward 50 we struggle to defend the space.

 

[Dancing Potato]

Look at that. Gawn getting around to everyone at half time. Jones in the background, silent.

Jones 2 Gawn 4 Captaincy

 

[saj_21]

Free kicks 12-4. Reckon they missed at least 6 or 7.

And we got the first 2-3 of the game.

Yeah, he can piss off for good.

Literally the only 'key forward' we have at the moment. Pruess is hopeless. I'm sure that'll get him in the good books with the coach.

Pile driving someone into the ground (fairly) however, I'm all for.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Reasonably happy so far.

Scoreboard is close despite playing vs 25. We all know it will blow out to 40 points by the end but can't fault the scoreboard pressure so far.

Liking the work of Petracca in the middle.

And most importantly, Lever went (in my mind) from career in limbo to back on the ground in the space of 10 minutes.

 

[Cannon82]

And we got the first 2-3 of the game.

Took a while for the umps to come to their senses and get with the program.

 

[saj_21]

I’ve been critical of Gawns marking of late but he has been terrific tonight.

 

[space_cowboy]

Hope Brayshaw goes to Dusty in the second half. The mark and goal were good, but otherwise he looks lost.

Dusty is getting too much time and space.

Feels a bit like ANZAC Eve. Doing lots of things ok, Richmond haven't got out of 3rd gear though.

 

[DemonZombie_001]

I like the fact Melbourne are taking the game on.

I thought JKH was a bit of a quiet achiever that half.

 

[Headless]

Rain coming down.

Quietly achieving mediocrity? He is frustratingly predictable and sloppy with his ball use. He's a dangerous player, just not for the opposition.

 

[mrmonkey]

The other was an out on the full. Feels like every 50/50 going their way very frustrating. Still the skill errors is more frustrating and probably the cause of a few free kicks. Same story each week we just need to be cleaner. Also as mentioned too many players with low iq how often we see 3 players go for the one ball leaving opponents free at ground level.

 

[Demon4123]

Preuss has had too many free kicks paid against him. Keeps holding their ruckman in contests.

I think the problem is he's a big, dumb lump of a ruckman.

9 disposals, 0 tackles and a horribly fluffed handball. Quiet indeed.

Need more from Viney in the second half. 11 disposals and 0 tackles.
