Game Day Richmond vs Melbourne, round 5, MCG 24 April

Miller needed to kick that goal. It was an easy shot and he didn’t get anywhere near it. Doesn’t have the killer instinct

I wonder if they have ever bothered to get him to practice goalkicking at training seems to have no idea

 

[Karp3_dm]

Dusty unfortunately is done

What u on about? Did u not see that 4-5 effort and goal
If he kicked straight he had would’ve had 23 touches and 3-4 goals

It’s pretty dumb though taking miller off and putting Balta up forward , just really dumb

That’s my main problem with Dimma, he’s too stubborn, that was probably a planned sub, Flossy or someone else should have been taken off not Miller. But that didn’t lose us the game.

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

well that was a waste of time. This team can't be trusted anymore

 

[CASEYS9420]

We've had a dozen opportunities to win this game and blew it. Much better effort tonight though, losses like this are okay with half our side under 50 games against Melbournes best 22.

 

[sante]

Good signs really. Tough loss but we love building into a season. Our worst is behind us I reckon

 

[59Stanley]

Unfortunately season over bad kicking bad football

I am speaking toward the selling of the farm in trade period. I like Taranto and Hopper but we have done what the hawks did … lots of pain ahead.

Sick of reading this selling the farm s**t. Go get educated and come back and tell me what we actually sold in the end? Sold the farm my arse

I never want to see Ralphsmith in this team again.

still can't get my head around the miller sub and balta move fwd, dimmas brain is fried from the weed

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Piss off. Structurally he was essential and he had his moments. Junior should of gone first. Plenty of smalls doing * all out there. Clarke and Rioli jnr first off the rank.

Can't mark, can't kick goals from 25m out directly in front, gets pushed out of ruck contests like he is an Autum leaf and is slow as treacle. He is barely VFL standard. HTF he is getting senior games is beyond me.

why did we decide to bomb the ball after being so succesful doing the opposite in the first half

Did one of the under 9’s read the newspaper and tell you that?

He's a really nice kick it's bizarre what happens to him in front of goal. Needs to be dropped to find confidence, he's not gonna find it in the AFL evidently.

And Mansell

What did Ralphsmith ever do to earn a call up in the first place… has long ******* hair and runs around like a headless chook. I wouldn’t even consider him for selection until he gets a haircut.

Deer in the headlights. I don’t like potting the players but tonight was a disgrace on goal kicking. I guess the positive is we are getting shots. But we don’t have anyone who can kick a freakin goal

 

[damicky]

Did we miss a lot of easy shots at goal?

 

[krustyman]

balta to forward/ruck is inspiring move, changed the course of the game

Dimma should be sacked for making him the sub after his game last week.

 

[Jogger72]

I would have just used mature

Would have been a good summary I suppose.

If the gameplan didn’t work we wouldn’t of been leading the game at the start of the qtr
Players failing to convert that gas cost us

Yep, like I said, his game plan wasn’t the issue tonight, he game them the best opportunity to win, they just didn’t capitalise on it tonight.

Bright side, at least they didn’t give up this week like they did last week. They kept trying til the end. That’s an improvement on next week.

In our dynasty it was chaos, get the ball forwards and pressure. Did that hide our lack of basic skills? Perhaps, but the team were elite in other areas.

Now...
