Autopsy Round 1 Post-game thread DRAW against the Blues

[tora tora tora]

I'm so glad we picked Mansell for his forward pressure. Cumbo would have kicked 6.

Kicking one would've been enouh

Roast:

• Bad kicking is bad football.
• Four umpires and they still can't get it right.

Toast:

• Taranto was worth every penny.
• Dusty looks like he's back and primed for big year.
• It's nice to win a few clearances.

Changes:

• The Mansell move didn't work. Cumberland or Clarke the better choice.
• I don't think Miller did enough to justify his selection over Ryan.
• Cotchin should be used as a mid rotation. The forward experiment is over.

On TV I couldn't tell where Cotch was playing. Fwd was it?

I didnt watch the last 15 mins was always gonna be a s**t watch, this team is way stronger than the blues they are full strentgh playing their grand final lets get it going tiges \m/

Pretty underwhelming effort. Dysfunctional forward line, 66 Inside 50s for 8 goals. Inept kicking for goal, Bolton directly in front 25 m out and goes around the corner and misses. Ross with fresh legs can't even kick a point from 45 m out. Mansell should not have played at the expense of Cumberland. Most disappointing was Plopper, just hopeless and I get the feeling that he might be our worst high priced recruit in a while. Reckon Voss will be pretty happy that he conceded an extra 20 inside 50s and still managed a draw. Hopefully Lynch kicking the clutch goal quells the demons from the Brisbane final last year.

Not drop him, but * me he needs a bullet. 100 Footy's at Punt Road and 100 set shots not round the corner s**t.

shades of kyrgios

wants to do the flashiest thing possible even if it's not the best option

 

[Groupie_]

bolton cost us the game

 

[Tiger51]

Outs- mansell, ross
Ins - cumdog millionaire and Clarke

Clarke is a very skilled young player, just what we need, Sonsie was involved in the 2’s and May not be far away. Graham was excellent today and looks over his toe issue, I would give him a week off against Adelaide if the calf is not 100%

 

[Greggy]

Taranto not in the last centre bounce was a big mistake, Graham was pointing at him to go in but it was too late.

I don't even think he was. He was generally the supplementary mid when Prestia/Hopper/Toranto were resting. I thought Cotch was okay. Better than Hopper at least who hopefully grows some confidence.

Skills and kicking we're terrible couldn’t hit a target.
Balta is a worry for me.

 

[Grechy]

Sonsie has to come in.

[caddyshack]

miller did ok when he went down back.

I like Miller and I would be happy to see him selected as a defender.
As a forward/ruck, I think Ryan is the better choice. The kid just needs games.

******* melting

Umpire in our F50 a cheat. Didn't give the obvious frees to us and gave the Blues so many soft frees

Ive played in div z games with club umpires that were less bias and fairer.

4 of those cheating campaigners carnt see the holds, highs, push outs and arm chops against our guys but somehow see them at the other end and if you flop over, it's okay

Our htb seems to be a heartbeat but for the blues it's a lifetime

 

[Spacedog]

We never seem to have small forwards leading into space. Somehow the coaches need to reduce the focus on Lynch and Jack by having them pull the defenders out wide which should create more space for Dusty, 'Georgie' Bolton and Cotch.

Inside 50 just way too congested, must admit when the ball was in dispute the Blues seemed to get every bounce and ricochet fall their way.

Yeah I can't remember one time that game where Dusty or Bolton were isolated deep forward with space like we've done previously. We need to try to get that to happen as much as possible

Taranto 3 Brownlow votes

"Round one, Richmond v Carlton: Carlton S. Docherty, 1 vote, Carlton G.Hewett 2 votes, Carlton P.Cripps 3 votes."

 

[Bird Man]

my thoughts are,

that we start the season slow I reckon we are not used to having two players like hopper and TT in the side just yet. Our midfield looks good in the moment.
we won all the stats in that game so there is a lot to take away from it moving forward

If Shai is to enter into that A+ role he needs get a set shot routine

 

[Coach_Required]

bolton cost us the game

Balta was pretty useless up the other end I thought.

 

[SplintWhisky]

Graham got faster and faster through the game.

 

[shaky]

What is this regular umpiring you speak of,never seen this.
Based on every Richmond game I’ve watched that was regular umpiring

 

[DustinsGuns]

What did we pay for Hopper?

7 years per clearance so far.

 

[Bird Man]

Defensively we looked much more stable. We will build into the season. Good arm wrestle first up and a lot to take from that game.

thought Balta was bullied too much and was lucky Mcstay didn't drop 4 on him

 

[Groupie_]

if we play cumbo over dysty we win tonight

 

[NZ_Tiger]

We won’t go anywhere if that’s our method of moving the ball. The games changed. Headless chook handball just doesn’t work.

* me, Dimma just said Noah Cumberland plays the same style as Dusty and that's why he didn't get picked.

Sack Dimma, he's lost the plot
