Sydney vs Richmond VFL

[Dont Argue]

Where do we start.
Horrendous skill levels or lack of it. Turned the ball over at every opportunity.
Umpires disgustingly biased against us. Cannot for the life of me fathom why every 50/50 contest goes against us. Every time. Hard to watch.
Player wise:
RCD can’t get near it. Out of position at every ruck contest. Doesn’t look like he actually wants the ball.
Still very early days, but Brown has shown very little to date. I’ve seen nothing to suggest he’ll make it. Hope others are more optimistic.
Sonsie doesn’t like body contact and coughs the ball up to avoid it. Wants to play pretty, bruise free footy.
Judson Clarke shows very clean hands and great skills. Think he’s a definite future AFL player.
Ryan Sampson played a lone hand today and desperately needs help. Must get Colina in asap. Good effort under the circumstances.
Stack extremely quiet. As was Banks. As was Cumberland. As was Mansell.
Miller was good again but turned the ball over under no pressure in the middle of the ground that probably cost us the game as we had all the momentum.
And the big call, I really don’t think Morris can coach. Team looks disheveled and unorganised.

A reasonable summary i would 2nd DA.

My take homes

1. Rcd is a Bust (note capitalisation)
2. Judson Clarke is an afl footballer
3. Sampson Ryan a worthwhile project.

I think Dow is our best fringe player, which is slightly concerning.

Beginning to entertain the notion,

That stackman is a puzzling flashinthepan, we will still be discussing in circular fashion in 25 years

Bad camera, bad ground, bad lighting.

Bad camera, bad ground, bad lighting.

Sounds like bad acting by us too.

Maybe Brown is tanking so he can go to Geelong.

Our VFL players on the whole are not real flash, and too small, and our AFL listed players seem to meander through games with no real intensity every time I've seen the VFL play.

So sad to see the VFL Tigers on the wrong side of a 12-0 free kick count in the last quarter. Looks like it's not only the 1sts who get a raw deal.

The one free that was most ridiculous was we had a free paid against for HTB on the edge of our D50. I can't remember which quarter but we were defending the goal to the right. There were a whole heap of players in there. When they all got off, it was Ryan Clarke of Sydney lying there with the ball at his chest. How are we holding the ball in when its being held to the chest of a Sydney player!!

If it is the one I'm thinking of the Swans player dives right into the back of one of our guys who collapses over the ball. Clear in the back but we got pinged for holding the ball.

Yeah I'm starting to have the same opinion about RCD unfortunately . I still think Stack would make a good small forward at AFL level hes an instinctive player and would suit the random nature that the ball is delivered into our forward line.

What was the final score?? Please.

69 to 73. We lost by 4 points.

Morris is not rotating the VFL players enough, sticking with the same players who don't seem to get the job done.

Brown disappointing, hardly noticed him

I find Sonsie confusing, he has had 2 good game sat the level and is being touted all the time but goes missing

Stack good is elite but no consistency

Samson Ryan a good project player for now

Dow and Clarke are the next two to move up. Clarke ha been pretty solid all season so far and the recent Dow games show he is on the fringe.


....and umpiring....ffs what is going on.

Dow, RCD, Aarts, 15 kicks 39 handballs between them....what the.....

Pressure?

Pressure to see who could get the most handballs?
