Autopsy Roast and Toast v Essendon & Changes For WCE

[Bojangles17]

Miller is really developing. I fugin hated him about this time 12 months ago after his hot start to 2024 ended really poorly. But not only is he our best KPD (past Balta by a mile) he is making some really tough, creative kicks. Well done to him.

Hope youngy backs up that first up great game really showed a cool head to take that intercept when it should be taken , play out the season like that and an attractive contract awaits

reckon we beat both wc and roos

Hope so

 

[Bojangles17]

Eagles fans reckon Waterman, Allen and Yeo are bigger outs than all of ours

Who

Taranto….excellent game
His goal early in the last from 50:was a fire cracker

34 disp….5 tackles…10 contested possies..that goal that got us up and about in the last



74% disp efficiency


Nice one Tim…my BOG

love to see the 70/30 mid/deepish forward taranto and hotton rotation combo as early as this game. put em both down for a couple if so. minnie knows tim is gunna win the game for us if he gets it 35+ so will put the clamps on.

Taj Hotton = Shedda mark 2.. upgrades already evident.

Just watched replay of 4th quarter and this kid is every bit as good as Nic D. He's already a step ahead of everybody and that was his first game!

Love your optimism, but I'd like to see a bit more of Taj.... I'll be rapt (hopeful) he gets through to seasons end unscathed TBH...

Brother, no one likes it at the bottom end of the ladder. Most of us accept it's a part of developing a young squad. All teams go through it. I don't think it will be as long for us, based on our recruiting TBH.
I think many of us look for the small steps in improvement, wins are a bonus. Especially when the "experts" tipped us for NO wins. Also with 3 Premierships to show for it. I for one am prepared to be patient. I have worked closely with elite athletes & have an understanding of how much work it takes to grow & develop....I am still very proud to be Richmond with all the things we do off field as well. Our club is a leader off field. just my 2 cents worth....

i Think you nailed it, it is hard coming down.....it is just frustrating where we are at the moment, and the quality of football we are playing in some games.

I don't hate any player, but I don't like players being pumped up to be something special when they're not.
that just makes it worse for me.

I do believe our young talent has a lot going for it, with another 2 high end pics and a 2 more good players coming in we should be fine.

Lol - it was very much tongue in cheek. Describing Taj Hotton as "every bit as good as Nick Daicos" after his debut is a bold call.

Love your optimism, but I'd like to see a bit more of Taj.... I'll be rapt (hopeful) he gets through to seasons end unscathed TBH..

I'm shocked the team is unchanged after the worst game I've ever seen. Blight played a blinder and Steely has kicked back to back bags of 3 goals. Sims and Kozitsche both need to be dropped and our small fwds can't buy a goal. FFS's can McIntosh ever get dropped? It appears Yze is yet to drop a premiership player since he took over.

Allen is bog average nowadays not the player he once was. Waterman is a big out granted and Yeo turn it up he's also past it.
Our outs are way more talented than theirs. Anyone thinking otherwise is clueless, looking at you Eagles fans

3 outs, that's it, they are literally unscathed this year.




Our injury list plus Lynch not playing for 5 weeks and Balta out too.

Great goal by Shorty It's Your Birthday last week.
Like the Shorty of Old
He kicks the long goals...

Yze thought we played pretty well based on his presser
