Richmond Vs GWS - Game Day Thread

Balta today really did put to bed the debate about where he plays. His pace in the forward line is a massive weapon.

Yep he played well and he would want to have.

We had all the momentum in the game and he turned it their way with a combination of careless stupidity and ill-discipline.

After the same stuff cost us the game last week, for a leader to produce that again today is absolutely unacceptable.

Set the tone with attack on the ball and man in the 1st half. His one touch play was of high quality all game.

Played well but their main ruckman is a 14 gamer and Tom Green had stints as ruckman and he's 191cm.

This game suited our 2 key ruck combination.

thought we'd have a potential advantage in the ruck and Soldo/Nank did.
But didnt expect the win anyway.

Gee Whiz had a heap more of the ball, and on paper, should have beaten us comfortably.
The crowd y/day at Essendon's game v Brisvegas wasnt much better.

It did but given the amount of ball their midfielder’s got, it could have easily gone the other way - ie us being too top heavy. They had 9 out of the top 10 possession getters - that’s pretty amazing for a team that loses by 6 goals.

Disposals alone mean nothing. We had 18 more contested possessions and 6 more clearances and 13 more hitouts. We had 410 more metres gained. All the disposals meant is they chipped the ball around more. Probably contributed to them being beaten.

The second 50 wasn’t there at all. He hardly touched himmelburg who was getting in his face and blocking him. Trigger happy umpiring

Castagna just does my head in. Such a poor decision-maker. I'd be happy to try someone untried like Cumberland in his place.

Where's the Tarrant Baggers??
Bent over McKay last week and today nether Hogan or Himmaberg got a look in.
What's his record 2 games 1 goal conceded?
