Game Day Round 11 - Richmond v Essendon, Dreamtime at the G, Saturday 25/5/24, 7.40pm AEST

[footyfanatic111]

this would be the frustrations Scott endures week in week out


We kicked 4 goals inside 10 minutes versus Collingwood and then we've been bullied by North inside the contest despite it being out 1 wood and now the Tigers are keeping track despite the injury list they have



This whole, "should win by x amount", no. We need the 4points and to bring the right system. The system over time will continue to grow and improve, that is when we could start tearing teams apart.

To be fair, anyone who thought they wernt gonna come out with everything they have in the first quarter after the last 2 smackings they recieved especially with it being Dreamtime. They are a proud club

Just have to wear them down quarter by quarter. Will be much like the north game I think, may not fully breakout until after half time when all their kids start to tire out.

Tuggers have kicked 6 goals in each of the last 2 games and already kicked 3 tonight, our mid field needs to sort it’s shit out

 

[Yoda_]

McIntosh would be one of the better runners in their team.

endurance? yes
pace? no

 

[Dave]

Dunno what the pressure rating is, but we look like we’re running around in second gear. Not good enough to do that.

 

[Mootsy]

that was surprisingly good.

 

[mike14]

If we can match their intensity we should be ok, but they won't make it easy for us so really need some discipline across the ground

 

[mcgrath_truther]

caddy showed a lot, unlucky to not kick the goal but he's playing up the ground and providing an option very well

 

[Blind Turn]

at times we are so reluctant to move the ball forward, and inevitably we turn it over short. Back your players up the ground

That’s the thing. You’d back-in Stringer, Langford, Gresh, Perkins etc in one-on-ones against Richmond’s defence so just kick it to forward to advantage. Defenders hate being out of position in fast transition. If you trust Guelfi to cut out Vlaustin’s reading of the play then their defence is vulnerable.

Was an up and down kick to space type game in the first qtr. have to stop over possessing the ball at half back and start using the corridor more

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Bring out 23 pairs of screw ins at qtr time

Kind of flattering that opp teams like to prove something against Ess.
Jake has been amazing so far.
Nick Martin is a sh1te kick at times. It’s annoying.

[tha Freak]

A few guys running around like headless chooks.
Where’s the edge??

 

[TheGrizz]

Who has been subbed out?

 

[andleanback]

Caddy looks a likely type already.

 

[Its Manbearpig]

Stringer in the middle for a clearance

 

[Happyskeret]

Need a few guys who have been quiet to stand up.

 

[andleanback]

Who has been subbed out?

Cox I’m assuming

 

[boncer34]

Tsatas on

 

[Its Manbearpig]

Cox injury subbed

 

[mcgrath_truther]

caddy has such a great leap, more games into him and he'll cause lots of trouble

 

[The Donners]

That high ball Heppell just got under. He’s done it his entire career. Guts of steel!

 

[Happyskeret]

Caddy looks a likely type already.

You can see he has that agility not a one dimensional forward.

 

[TheGrizz]

Wish Martin wouldnt kick off one step as much as he does sometimes

 

[ghostdog]

Coxy looks so dejected.

 

[DapperDon]

Cox off for reasons

Thanks boundary rider who has one job
