Game Day Round 3 vs Collingwood, MCG, Friday March 31, 7.50pm

And has been for years. Hardwick won’t drop him, but Soldo is our best rap ruckman.

Ryan was rucking better than Nank. Our mids are atrocious and can't read the tap outs, Degoofy was sharking all the tap outs.

 

[Grrr]

Nank was feeding the Pie mids. His tap work was awful against the part timers

We could not shark a ball tonight and were slaughtered around the ball. Ruckwork had not much to do with it. They were so clean around the ball and we were slow and sloppy, not Nanks fault. Their ruckman went off at 3/4 time and Nank had no relief and rucked the entire last half. Prestia is out fo form for the first time since he came to the club.

need more Bakers

Baker was a shining light tonight. However we need more players who don't fumble or keep slipping over, do we spray Canola oil on our hands before games. Pies in the first half were just so clean with the ball, what do we actually do at training because it's definitely not skill work.

Hardwick clearly out coached in his 300th. Some strange selections and odd set ups at centre bounces, just don't think we are good enough to be playing Russian roulette, Bolton a prime example, leaving his direct opponents free and we got burned every time even with Nank dominating the ruck contest.

We really need to go back to the drawing board for our set ups for all contest work both on the ground and in the air because we were everywhere the ball wasnt tonight. Hardly had a clean clearance from a contest all night.

Any mods wanna open the autopsy thread orrrrr....

Was Jack Graham wearing concrete boots tonight?

Don't criticize him or the fanboys will put up a snapshot of how lightning fast he apparently is. Yet anyone with eyes can see he's painfully slow. I wonder who'd win in a race between him and that obese AFLW recruit/ cult figure Sheahan just poached?

[cairo tiger]

[tiger_tough]

LOL Brian talking to Will Hosking Elliot - Elliot sais they don’t care about possessions

Lucky as he only had 5

Didnt actually realise he played.

Start the thread yourself cobber

Took your advice

Autopsy - Round 3 Roast & Toast v Collingwood and changes for Footscray

Have at it. I think it was a pretty well fought out game in the 2nd half, considering how many passes we missed with our kicks and handballs in the first half and how many the pies absolutely caked.

We’d kill for some smalls of the quality of butler and Castagna. MRJ and Mansell are dreadful.

3 talls gave us no chance. Sometimes this match committee out smarts itself. Raining all week, nah * it let’s go with 3 200cm players.

Ok - time to take a breath

Was worried about a slaughter with their peak early season form - a 14 point loss in a fairly intense slog feat with 4 key changes from last week is pretty fair IMO

Will enjoy watching the Pie bubble burst in a few weeks - that form can not be sustained

 

[smasha]

We played The Richmond Way for patches in the second half.

Played The Oppo Way for the rest of the game.

Disagree. If you don't think Nank's ruckwork is an issue, you aren't watching. There is no doubt in my mind that a genuine quality tap ruckman would have helped us tonight, ESPECIALLY once Cameron went off. Rowan Marshall, Oscar McInerney, Max Gawn, Nic Nat, Jarrod Witts, Brodie Grundy, Rielly O'Brien etc would be dominant in the ruck contests for their side if they came up against what we came up against tonight and would have given their midfielders first service.

In Bigoa Nyon

Biggy needs to go forward to learn the craft

 

[Ctl]

ok could've been alot worse in the first half, then second half we were in the game and should've done better. How we always let them spread corridor side and get the ball out to a second contest was disappointing

How much coin is Bolton on?

Man what is going on with Valstuin and Grimes?

Broad, Baker and Balta holding up that defensive system. The other two look cooked.

Grimes looks like his has had his legs replaced with jelly sticks. His kicking is nothing short of abysmal and struggles to kick over 30 metres.

Vlastuin to me looks continually punch drunk, it's like he has never recovered from the Danger hit. Just does some very dumb things which is unlike him, you used to have confidence when he had ball in hand. To be honest I can't look these days if either of these guys have ball in hand as I just expect a clanger sooner than later.

Nank is a massive problem to our setup. Ryan was legitimately rucking 1000% better than Nank. Nank is good on the ground that's it! but he also gets in the way of the mids. When Soldo was flying we looked far more damaging than when Nank rucks.

about 50 grand per possession

I would have stayed a mod if there wasn't any responsibility

Doesn't matter who is rucking if you are outnumbered around the ball all game. DeGoey killed us, same with Daicos. Quick and fast and they mopped up everything. We were plodding around the ball in comparison. Yes Nank had an average game, but it wouldn't have mattered because were were fumbling and under pressure around the ball all game.

You nailed it. These two were solid as a rock. Wouldn't break a line offensively, but rarely lost a contest or turned it over. Now they are just battling.

Too much, should be dropped just to show everyone that talent alone won't get you a game within the Richmond system. He has been a non contributor this year after being touted as one of the AFLs best, gone to his head.
