You'll never see worse umpiring performance than a 14 min period in the last q of this game. the other umps will be studying the footage this week seeing how they can take the dodginess to the next level in the AFL

our ruck experiment has failed sentbthem back to basketball and get some

In the second quarter our rucks destroyed the opposition but it seemed like the go for all or nothing. Oppos got on top in second half and our taps didn’t go to advantage. Possibly they go well when they have energy but in actual fact don’t know how to use their body and ruck properly so diminish rapidly when they are worn out. They need ‘some’ of Nank to rub off on them.

Omg it was so bad in the third I switched off for a while and had a cold shower. I’ll admit to checking out in the last ..lucky escape for my sanity

Could we bloody get some commentators who don't openly barrack for the oppo every bloody VFL and CFL game?

Happens every bloody week.

Listen to Collingwood games and how much they are fawned over by the commentators.

Every time we play ANY BLOODY TEAM,the commentators bay for a Tiger loss.

I'M SICK OF THEIR BS!

EPL have their own commentary teams for each club.

I would love some commentators who ACTUALLY love us for a change!

FMD this too. The umps and the commentators both openly barracking. Where the dude from the official Richmond podcast?

 

[Tigeral]

When did Smilie come off? I’m d don’t see him much or at all in the third (and he was everywhere in the 2nd). I think someone said he has played 7 quarters all up…trying to do the maths!

Sonsie having 35 in 3/4 and then coming off may have also destroyed our balance. Have to remember we aren’t always playing to win.

 

[RockJobster0312]

That’s a fact not an opinion. Blight, Bauer, Gray, Trezise all look VFL level.

Everything you said is literally an opinion.

 

[Charlie Pannam]

The young talls have no cohesion yet, none of the 3 lead at the ball carrier, they all just run to the same spot and try and take pack marks, we’re way too tall on every line, and then we’re way too small across the flanks, doesn’t feel like they’re playing with passion. At the game you could see the Dolphins boys were playing for each other and the crowd.

Jake Batchelor made comment after the game about our forward system losing its shape our talls pushing back too early. Pretty much said they all wanted to be the hero rather than playing to the system. He’s always very measured in his post game analysis but you could tell he was disappointed with our tall forwards

 

[smurfin]

Instead of El Nour playing on the wing, I would have liked to see Blight or Gray there. Not sure what their tanks are like, but Balta, Miller, Trainor and presumably Gibcus when fit are all ahead of them as defenders.

your clearly ******ed and have no idea, i hope fawcett leaves this shit club with kane mcaulife and get the hell out of tigerland, adem is shit and the selectors are disgraceful, bauer, simms, armstrong and most definitely faul are all over rated. I look forward to watching the 2 SA boys smash Richmond in a couple years time playing for a club that respects them.

It's a long weekend, just relax and chill out

Calm down Mr Fawcett you’re making a scene.

Bauer, go see the girls in the office, pick up your final pay, all the best for the future. Unbelievably selfish game of footy from him.

Alger will need to toughen up, but has time.

Colina could still improve but barring quite sharp improvement he is not becoming an AFL footballer.

McAuliffe made a lot of poor decisions by foot when he had chances to set us up.

Smillie obviously great disposal but not sure he isn't a bit casual at times.

Raso is an old fashioned small forward, all about trying to kick goals for him, like to see him getting a bit more team orientated.

McCarthy didn't seem to enjoy the ground or the conditions.

Fawcett has plenty of time yet but if a club offered a 3rd round pick I would take it. Playing team first footy doesn't come natural to him, but seems to have a good tank and reasonable skills.

We had one big guy too many everywhere you looked. I think Sims, Fawcett, Blight, Koschitzke, OHB, El Nour would all benefit from having about 2 less talls and 2 more runners in the team, but we probably have to live with that this year.

Gray was good again.

Sonsie very good at this level but looks short of AFL level traits.

Our VFL players are really good. Slightly disappointed in McKenzie tonight after showing some good improvement last match.

Kaleb Smith got a load of the footy, but maybe like Fawcett, tracking slightly below the curve for a rd 3 pick.

The thing that really disappointed me tonight was some selfish play, with Bauer a huge culprit, Fawcett, Alger, maybe Raso, also involved. McAuliffe, Smith, Sonsie loads of the ball but are they kick chasing? Are they using the ball well?

Overall a very disappointing night, result aside, saw some very disappointing play I just don't expect to see from a Richmond VFL team.

Your correct, fawcett should leave this mess of a club and take kane with him cause richmond

It's a long weekend, just relax and chill out

Any one saying fawcett isn't a team man is farking delusional.

Seperate them from each other? Or pull both aside to chat during huddle?

Pulled both aside, had a chat. Then walked with them both to the centre square.
Probably nothing to read into

Sounds like Kmac is just keeping Smillies midfield spot warm.

Listed as an emergency for tonight’s game

Hutchinson took Merrett to the cleaners today.

Stood next to him for the game. Ran around with him. Hardly touched it himself and Zach showed no effort to get away from him.

Said more about Merrett than Hutch.
