Game Day - Richmond Tigers vs Saints

[The Mole]

Maric; 2 disposals
Newman; 3
Hampson; 3
Cotchin; 9
Martin; 5

Thanks Tim. I can probably take Cotchin off that list but certainly Maric, Newman and Hampson seemed to be running in quicksand. Don't think we can keep Newman in the team any longer.

really thought Maric or Hampson should have been subbed in that last Q

Just wondering Who won the Ian Stewart medal for best afield. I don't remember seeing anything about it?

St.Kilda won the first six Stewart Medals, Richmond has won the last six.

Deledio joins J.Riewoldt as a dual winner. The others are Cotchin & Vickery.

Only Montagna remains at St.Kilda of their six.

While I wasn't happy at the time, the fade out might be a blessing in disguise. Perhaps it will keep the boys focused against the Dockers instead of basking in the glory of a thumping win? :spin

That was my thought after the game. It is hard to become big-headed when you concede the last six goals of the game and spend the last ten minutes scrambling to hang on to a slender lead.

I see Lennon was named in the best, fair assessment ?

So Morris, Newman, Vickery, Lloyd, McDonough, Knights, Batchelor, Gordon and obviously Elton haven't scored any of those to have played this season.

Not a bad effort by the Tiges this year, been fairly knocked around by some long term injuries. Given a bunch of newbies n inexperienced players some game time n still holding down a solid place in the eight.
Coaches love having a settled side n a constant group of players slotting into their roles each week, it's also much easier for the players having their same settled group playing within their systems n structures each game. Everyone knows their role n the constant repetition builds trust of support every time they go to the contest.

The teams been fairly unsettled over the course of the year with mostly injury n a couple of suspensions causing frequent changes of two or three players on match day, reckon the teams managed to cover things bloody well to stay so high on the ladder.

I think it also points to a few things. A good structure that everyone knows about and benefits from, some good drafting and development of a bit of depth at long last.

 

[Cotchin_4_brownlow]

A reliable/solid back 6 or 7 helps as well.

 

[Dyer'ere]

No doubt but our depth is being tested. For the first 2 or 3 centre bounces in the last quarter we had Lambert, McDonough and Hampson. Third string midfield. Then up forward we had a lumbering ruck in Maric. He was spent.

If anything it took Hardwick too long to bring Gordon on for some added run. But the problem was further compounded by keeping both Hampson and Maric on.

That's the story, SA.
