Game Day - Richmond vs Brisbane - QF 2020

[Raoul Juke]

The Lions are playing exceptionally well & getting a fantastic run. 12-5 frees / 4-1 50's. The Lions are playing exceptionally well / kicking goals at about 80% accuracy with 50% inside 50's.

To put it bluntly, they are finding it all a bit easier than we are ATM

 

[Tigers2011]

Regain composure & use the ball better inside 50. Has to be other options used apart from Jack. Chol has to compete - one half to save his AFL career with us - insipid. Get back to taking the game on. Nank looks way undersized in the ruck.

 

[SpaceAce]

It’s clear as day Chol is not up to it.
I was always worried about the corrupt umpiring against us tonight and it’s just appallingly obvious!
Having said that we dominated most of that quarter and didn’t punish them.

 

[DragaTheCro]

Yet again people will say umpires don't influence games. The 50 to McInerney was marginal at best - gives them a goal, the 50 against Dusty (it was a free no problems there) but got them out of their D50 etc. Then the double 50, its bloody noisy, maybe Shai didn't hear the whistle.

Shai said to the ump he didn’t blow the whistle.

Caddy should have played over Chol. He’s a seasoned finals player and is tough. Chol on the other hand...

 

[St Kevin]

Also, give Bolton the red vest. He's lost it.

Dominated that quarter for 1 goal
Lions kick 4

Jack behind
And chol running away from the ball
Rioli, castagna and arts nothing
Edwards and Bolton nothing

 

[zgod]

Rayner putting his boot into Cotch's crown jewels.

They went for him and they thrived on it.

 

[gold1]

Pat yourselves on the back lions but see you after halftime because that is where the game is won.

Caddy should have played over Chol. He’s a seasoned finals player and is tough. Chol on the other hand...

Huge error not playing him

 

[Rfc4Ever]

Just wonderful to see the umps allow Neale to get into the game

 

[Djevv]

After the ‘throw’ free, what was the first 50 for? Abuse?

 

[Ridley]

Dominated that quarter for 1 goal
Lions kick 4

We dominated the first half of the quarter but of course we just kept bombing it long to an undermanned forward line. Reminiscent of our early season play. Chol couldn't catch a cold.

But the Lions destroyed us in the second part of the quarter. Half time couldn't come quick enough. Not helped by 2 stupid and unnecessary 50m penalties in a row.

We need to regroup; that was ugly in the 2nd half of that quarter.

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

Discipline required. We're giving the umps a few free kicks.

 

[Berwick boy]

Relax..most of their goals have been through free kicks. We tightened that up we win. Not worried at all..seen this many times from current tigers.

 

[DavidSSS]

Do we have to play against 25 opponents every week.

DS

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

Jacks being double teamed constantly

Jack’s getting some good looks and holding nothing. Like early season.

 

[dimmauchump]

Not sure what has happened with Broad but the match committees arrogance will cost us tonight. No way should Chol be playing in this game ahead of a 2 time premiership tall that can also pinch hit in the ruck.

Nank is done. We have zero presence in the ruck atm.

Sheds and Bolton need to lift. George has been invisible apart from the goal.

As dumb as it sounds need to use Jack as a decoy and leave Chol at full fwd with some space or take the punt with Chol in the ruck and put Nank up forward

 

[taraba]

After the ‘throw’ free, what was the first 50 for? Abuse?

Kicking the ball supposedly after the whistle.

 

[Spirit of Jack]

Blame the selectors - Caddy should have played if fit.
