Game Day Tigers v Demons

well i dont like it....way over the top
I'm dead set with you. I have a mate that's best friends with him. I whatsapped him in the last to tell him to pass onto Richo to just call what he sees. We're shafted enough we don't need that salt.

Predictably Melbourne took over in the ruck and that was the game. Ryan tried hard, Miller useless & Hardwick took too long to throw Balta in to relieve.

Don’t know why he didn’t move Miller back & swap with Balta earlier. So disappointed in Miller - looks bereft of confidence but effort costs nothing.

Team tried hard but outclassed - too many passengers. M. Rioli doing a hamstring is unfortunate but really shouldn’t have been picked & I just don’t see it with him.

Ruck is a huge issue for us - Soldo can’t get back soon enough. Lots of what if moments tonight - just needs older players to play at a higher standard (eg like Jack is doing) and see which young players will follow.

Picking Brown instead of Van Hooganband is as bad as fiora over Pavlich

1. Tambling over Franklin
2. Dik and Bones over Pavlich
3. Lennon over Cripps
4. Corey Ellis over Lever
5. Conca over Heppell
6. Vickery over Ziebell
7. JON over Nathan Jones

we missed 5 pretty easy set shots in a row ...

not necessarily why we lost, but it kills momentum
Yep. We were hanging in pretty well and had our chances and didn’t take them.
Disappointing and frustrating but we could well have beaten a quality side tonight. I don’t think we are far away.
The strange thing to me is that it seemed like we started by playing like the old Richmond, embrace the chaos. Then for some reason we stopped and went to the new Richmond and started bombing the ball in.
Despite all of that we had chances to take the game to the wire and fluffed them.

Top recruiting
Instead of crying we haven't got a 1st rounder this year.
We should all be celebrating

Absolutely gutted.
The only time Oliver and Petrecca didn't really destroy us. And we still lost.
To a kid that 99% of the recruiting experts had us selecting.
Mansell
Ralph Smith
Rioli
Miller
Clark
Big V
Pickett

All shouldve stayed home
 
In Bauer Rest Jack R.

We need to blood some new forwards, give them a taste, what have we got to lose we are rock bottom, almost.

I’d persist with Cumberland.

Ryan is showing promise but David Bourke had more bulk, he needs to come over to my mums pasta night every night.

OUR players seem to slip over a lot, to me. Or is it just me? But are we wearing the right boots/stops for the conditions e.g. dew onset, moisture?
I'm wondering if it's just another way we are not professional enough.
Grosbys.

Same *smile* ump that screwed him against the dogs also.
Number 8
It wasn't really holding the ball.
It shouldve been payed for being dumb.
We are the only side that struggles with kicking in.
We turn it over.
We kick to out numbers
We have 3 possessions before we leave back 50.
Then you watch other side's they get to centre wing

Absolutely gutted

Miller went off so we could try and buy some *smile* ground ball gets in F50

Been killing us all *smile* year
why leave cotchin on?
good first half but serial fader...jnr seems out of condition
totally unbalanced height wise last qtr.
i thought miller more than competitive...how to f a guys confidence.
get used to runovers...slows get slower
 
The htb against him tonight was a howler

Didn't he have prior? HB to DRioli was on but kept the ball thinking there was a better option? That's prior these days Just a poor decision and he's making far too many of those.

Noticeable run-and-carry off half-back in the 1st half. Scrambling to cover Gawn drifting forward really seemed to discombobulate the back six in the 2nd half. Balta lost in the lights again. And then pushed deep forward, not a good use of him. His weapon is his slipper. Not his quick hand-to-foot work or his overhead marking under lights. Tell him he's your three-point man and he has free reign to loose the hounds from outside 50, or leave him down back.
