Richmond v Geelong, AFL Rd 12, Fri 7:50 @MCG

[JackFlash]

Won by 67points playing two poor QTRs and the Tigers had at least 6 regular players out...Cats still have a lot of improvement to make yet!

 

[The Casey Cat]

Wow, this team won a flag a couple of years ago. Would now be challenging the dogs for worst premiership team ever.

Bubble may have burst for them but they did make finals a few years running in the lead up before 2016 and then magnificent regular season the following year and unexpected prelim loss. That's a lot more than the Dogs achieved outside there flag.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Cats looked awesome after quarter time.. Chris Scott has done a great job.
The only team that can roll in that form are the Eagles..

GWS and the Pies are just as much of a chance. Maybe even more so than the Eagles who have mixed form this year.

Looking through their injury list, it’s mostly key position players that Richmond are missing, but it’s between the arcs that they are struggling the most. Unless Martin and Cotchin are dominating Richmond struggle, and they’ve been shown up a number of times against teams with strong midfields. Playing a virtually injury-free Geelong team was always a perfect storm.

That Lynch contract is going to bite them IMO. They overrated their list, and jumped onto whichever A-grader wanted to join first, which just happened to be a KPF. They could have easily developed Balta in this role, and saved the cap space for a midfielder. Prestia, Ellis et al don’t cut it as second stringers.

They do have some decent young mids coming through with Stack, Ross and Naish, but they’re still years off producing consistent footy.

We're missing Lambert whose stats for possessions and clearances are similar to Selwoods and young Ross, who was averaging three clearances a game. We're also missing our ruckman remember - pretty important for mid-field performance!

Nankervis would be lucky to be in the best ten rucks in the league.

Very overrated.

As a tap ruckman you're correct. But he averages three clearances a game and is superb around the ground. He's an important role player and Soldo is inferior to him by a long way.

 

[Ricketz]

The ratugalea one was very dangerous and the reason the rule was brought in. Didn’t look intentional by any means but was a textbook below the knees free

Learn the rules, mate. The free cannot be awarded against a player going for a mark. You are just talking rubbish.

 

[TigerTime17]

It's coming. Lions have ended a few losing streaks so far this year and Richmond are on our 'to do' list.

You can’t even beat Carlton so good luck with that!

 

[TigerTime17]

Crept.

No, Hawkins is quite creepy so close enough

Stop trying to argue with stupid people, they are expert at stupid so you won’t win.

If you took the best 6-8 players out of any team they'd seriously struggle against the top sides in the comp, even if they have all that structure (the media rambles on about constantly) in spades. The tiges are not in an enviable position right now with their injuries and it showed last night. They'll be back, but this is not going to their year IMO.

You mean, if you take out 2 or 3 of their best players, 2 or 3 C graders and some fringe players...

 

[Farang83150]

You aint missing a kelly or selwood level player.

You will be next year...

 

[Mad_Hatter]

You will be next year...

Selwood won't retire for a while...
TK has 2 weeks off now... and he's staying in Geelong...

Lol....keep telling yourself that.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Lol....keep telling yourself that.

You don't believe TK? He said it, on national television.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Really did have a feeling of 'Normal service resumed' after that game.
The dark 24 months over and back to doing whatever we want to the Tiges.

 

[Seeds]

You will be next year...

Is what west coast fans said last year.
