AFL Autopsy Loss to Richmond - Rd 11 2018

[Lore]

Thoroughly out-classed.

 

[Dons4days]

Geez I’m over this s**t

 

[MightyDon]

Hurley VFL till he learns how we started playing when he wasn't there
Goddard go polish your golf clubs and put ya feet up

Dear coaching staff. Have you not seen how Richmond have played the last few years.

 

[Stopher]

I've seen worse 12 goal losses, funnily enough.

when stringer missed the goal in the second

 

[lamaros]

Simply not fit enough, and no composure at all. Too many guys who get afraid to try something and just king long and help no one.

 

[JT_the_Man]

s**t.

lost it at the selection table by bringing in Hurley (KPF) when a small defender would have been far better suited to the Tigers press

 

[JayJ20]

If only everyone put in the effort that Saad puts

I've seen worse 12 goal losses, funnily enough.

It was probably the third best game of footy we played all year.

Thoroughly out-classed.

There is nothing "class" about the way Richmond play.

Its not a big deal, but anyone else notice how often we never seem to have a player guarding the goal line in defense whilst up forward we have numerous kicks at goal stopped on the goal line?

Is that symptomatic of our structure in defense that when we train, our forwards are used to open space in the goal square?

Hurley isn't the problem, it's Hooker. He can't get near the high ball the way he used to. He's now an extra yard slower and he can't really play the game in defence unless it's entirely on his terms.

Hurley should have been allowed to play on Riewoldt who has he destroyed on numerous occasions.

Went back into bad habits again tonight, the negatives will be brought up but I’ll list some positives

Matt Guelfi has been a good find

Kyle Langford is finally starting to get his groove on, one of if not his best game for us

Jayden Laverde isn’t their yet but still showed some improvement

Jake Stringer had his career high disposal count today, very promising to see his improvement in the last month

Out worked would be a more apt synonym

 

[Shanghaistu]

Didn’t see the game because I’m overseas, but it looks like another premium blockbuster effort. What was the reason? Was it back to the formidable game plan of rounds 1 - 8? Hopefully we can start playing the kids now and work on finding our next coach. P.S. when is the AFL finally going to boot us out of the ANZAC and Dreamtime games ?

 

[sameolds33]

That was disappointing but we were always the underdogs. Might have been different if Zaka hadn't been injured early and Hurley hadn'd been penalised for holding when we were on a roll. It was always going to take a special effort for everything to go right. They're a better team than us right now. But hard to explain why we didn't do our homework on the forward entries.

At least the jumpers looked good...

or Stewart missed in the first

 

[mxett]

the effort was there from most of the players, and Richmond are clearly a better team by some margin, but we were so badly out-coached it isnt funny. We are miles and miles off the top level in every aspect

think that was part of the problem

 

[MightyDon]

Get Mckenna in the mid field, he's a big unit, fast, skilful and can mark. McGath can go back for a while

Did we have a winner in any position tonight?

TBC (according to Supercoach anyways) beat Nankervis (154 > 98)
Guelfi & Saad were good in defence. Don't know if the Tigers smalls got off the chain.
Stringer perhaps?
Hooker opposed to Junk time Jack?

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Feel for 90% of the players out there who had a genuine crack.

We bgot schooled on game plan and structure. We effectively played with 3 down as Merrett and McGrath failed to have a decent crack and were jogging around ball watching.

 

[scythe]

I am so unbelievably sick and tired of the s**t this football club gives me to swallow.

And * me, the pieces of s**t that officiate our game make me want to bash my face into a mirror.
