Review Good/Bad vs Richmond

[Scorpus]

Pick 1

 

[pjcrows]

The perfect reality check.

A true reflection of what was overall a rubbish season, but the last month still gave us some positive signs for the future. I didn't think we'd win a game let alone three. It was an ideal game for Schoenberg, Sholl, Jones, Himmelberg etc to finish the season with - big opposing bodies, elite systems.

Today also tempered that "everything is fine" vibe that was no dount creeping in - everything isn't fine, we still have at least two years of list turnover to go, and an even longer rebuild, and more importantly significant football department and administration changes (if we're serious).

We got a good look at the list this year, and will likely go to the draft with three 1st rounders and two 2nd rounders, with more in 2021. Draft well and it can set us up.

Biggest sigh of relief - #1 ruck is sorted. O'Brien immense.

A long way to go for the club. The main concern from my perspective is the abhorrent state of the league and the sport itself. I struggle to watch it. But that's another thread...

The Ugly

Some players need a big offseason, Fogarty and Jones for starters.

Our first round choices don’t bode well for this upcoming draft.

 

[TRP1996]

Spoon.

 

[mattymac]

Death by a thousand crap handballs.

Looking forward to the draft and next year with a fair bit of optimism after how we finished the year.

The Richmond bias umpiring and pro Richmond commentary always kills the enjoyment. It's always ugly.

I don't think we played that badly. We just had some bad luck, missed some opportunities while Richmond made the most of theirs. Their pressure was immense and we stood up to it for the most part. Hope the young guys learn a lot from that. Pick 1 though.

That sucked to watch immensely, but RoB is great, pick 1 is ours and there's always the nagging hope that that was Mackay's last AFL game.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Good that the awful season is over.

Great we're getting pick 1.

Turn over the list.
Turn over the coaches.

Draft a ******* elite midfielder that isn't a noodle armed wimp.

 

[Red mist]

I’ve got splinters.

Thought Fog was okay and contributed a couple of goals.

Jones on the other hand was WOG and is a BIG worry.

Putrid umpiring display!
Richmond will always be too good with that kind of assistance.

 

[Crow Envy]

Sloane is going to be a real worry. 3 more years, what’s he going to be like in 2021 let alone 2023?

 

[Idontpullout]

Outclassed by a better team.
On the positive we only had 4 less shots on goal.
Could be worse. We could be in Norths or essendons position.

 

[Scorpus]

Another game where we prioritise experience over youth and lose

Glad we got valuable experience into Mackay and Hartigan instead of Hamill and Butts. Will be great next season when one or both aren't even on the list

Perfectly summed up. Could not like this post more.

In all honesty, we have finished the season in the best possible position.

We have seen that the gameplan can work.

We have got games into the kids.

We have the first picks in the ND and the Pre-Season draft.

I'm optimistic.

 

[feenix67]

Full points for endeavour, we just got beaten by a team at the opposite end of the cycle. A bit to work with, let's hope the club is ruthless during the off season.

Richmond were miles above us and the umpiring was putrid all round... we have more as a club to worry about than umpiring... kicking and hand balling to hit a target or that isn’t a hospital ball would be my 1st decision.

Yep

 

[fortunatecrow]

Great: RoB sprinting to make a tackle when there is only 30 seconds left in the game. A competitor who never stops trying

 

[LittleCrowBoy]

Jones is NOT a AFL level footballer.
Delist....an absolute SPUD.
Shocking selection.
He's absolutely useless in every sense of the word. People that say he needs time are delaying the inevitable. BUST !!!
Otherwise our kids look good.

Good
Tex clunked a couple; its marvellous what can happen when you fly with two hands.
Fog- Not a bad game
ROB-Took the Gold Jacket with that performance

Bad
Clueless commentator Brown -Doedee and Milera are out injured D/-head

Ugly
Umpiring - putrid
Overrated Martin- Lost count on his clangers OOF
