GAME DAY Tiges V Giants

One of the worst bits of the game at the moment, is holding of the best players. Last week Bolton got scragged all game by Turner who was praised. This week watch Ash, holding Prestia any time he is around the ball way before he takes the footy. The umpires are just allowing the best players to be held out of the game and its a joke. We should start doing it back.
But the stand rule saved football.

No excuses. Pathetic & embarrassing. Our young talent isn’t up to it (and most likely never will be) & ageing stars look ordinary. Whether they can regroup for 2022 remains to be seen.

Regardless we need a huge off season in drafting & recruiting. Has to address midfielders issue. Unless coaching address clearance/stoppage, contested footy & system of play under the new rules, we’re wasting our time.

The worst thing about kicking a goal is having to watch another woeful centre square setup

Our midfield is absolute rubbish. Very hard to win a game of footy win you can't win the ball in the midfield.

Whether its trading for mids or drafting mids, we simply cannot go into next year with the same midfield.

And the assistant coaches responsible for our midfield and ball movement need to be changed as well.

The fox analysis is Richmond poor free kicks. Are they serious? If umps paid those every time there’s be 100 plus frees a game.
prestis is getting held at every single stoppage by no. 7. Has there been a free paid to him? Every time. His opponent is not looking at the ball. Apply the rules consistently.

This team is one of the worst RFC teams I've ever seen.
7 to 10 not AFL standard.

Hardwicks game day coaching is making Cameron look good
Unfortunately he is being found out on game day a number of times this year. The players are doing him no favours for sure, but he needs to swallow his pride and go *smile* it - man on man boys. Let's stop playing scarecrows in farms as that ship has well and truly sailed as a tactic. Served us brilliantly last few years, but teams just angle kick past our statues.

Was just going to say the same thing. Reckon he gave an identical kick away against Adelaide.

Nothing else you could say there other than he was sooking. Pathetic really.
I think Pathetic is a bit rough. He just looked cooked. Agree though he should have done better. Bloke is a champion though and deserves more respect than being called pathetic.

We need to find some young players that are good overhead. Dow no, HRS no, Parker no, Mansell no
