Close loss to a full strength reigning premier away from home and your heads back on the chopping block. Pretty tough standards around here.

Never looked like winning the game even when it was there to be won. Just need to adjust a little and roll the dice by not pushing everyone back. It may be the players instinct but they also need to adjust to the balance of the game. Sorry to use a soccer anecdote but when a team needs to score late even the goal keeper pushes forward.

The way it often opened up, yep it was terrible. The disappointing part was allowing Reiwoldt take god knows how many marks. He’s someone we never really let off the chain!

Given that we had the extra talls down back it was difficult to understand. Credit where it's due, he did play a great game though.

I just don't see a place for him with MCartin's development, Reid still there, Blakey to be recruited. Not worth it for the price we'd likely have to pay.

I’m assuming you’re talking about Moore? That philosophy of always taking the best in the draft rings true to recruiting too!

Yeah I just don't want to see him be recruited then stuck in the NEAFL because we have Franklin, Reid and Macartin ahead of him. I'd consider trading Reid for him at this point in time because of Reid's fragility and Moore's potential but otherwise no.

I actually disagree. I think it was definitely winnable in that last quarter, it was quite reminiscent to the 2016 GF without the atrocious umpiring in the end. What I couldn’t understand, especially early in the game, was why we’re the forwards in the back line? Why was Hayward, Florent, Rose, Rohan and Ronke defending? Even Franklin was down there for a run around. Was far too defensive!

I doubt that’ll happen, name someone we’ve actually done that with.

The game was winnable but the players weren't playing like it was. I mean taking the game on and playing with an attacking mindset. Richmond are a good side but I felt there was a bit of a lack of self belief at times. Probably not helped by continued turnovers and good pressure from Richmond. It's hard to know how much is the players psychological state or directions from the coach. I'm loving seeing Florent and Ronke take the game on and create opportunities and I hope that youthful bravado isn't coached out of them.

Yeah I know but it would likely be at Macartin's expense. It's like they sign them up and there is a guarantee of a full season written into the contract. Works most of the time but in this case I don't see it fitting into our list management unless Reid is traded.

The way McCartin is playing, he’s going nowhere! Actually see Moore as Tippett replacement. As a side, I think we’re too short but I would avoid going overly tall.

It was ball handling and decision making. Stuck out like dogs balls!

When you're butchering the ball alot it probably doesn't inspire confidence. Football is a funny game though when you take it on, the ball generally starts bouncing your way. When you are slow and stagnant, you keep turning it over. I'm probably underestimating Richmond to some extent but I too was disappointed with our skills. Richmond are playing with plenty of confidence in their teammates currently. We aren't there yet but there's still a bit to go in this season.
 
IMO Horse’s real crimes were evident in our personnel tonight more than anything that happened in the game.

1. Gary Rohan... lack of accountability.

2. Dan Hannebery... ruining one of our best mids.

He’s on the brink of committing a third crime with Jack. Let’s hope he learns from his mistakes. Jack needs the ROK treatment.
