VFL Round 9 Richmond v Essendon - Dreamtime Double Header at the G

I just switched off. Can't stand watching such crap by our VFL side. No-one can do anything effective with the ball. Our FL hardly exists. Biggie is only good for an occasional spoil or mark, usually uncontested. Kicking is in general a disgrace. Hardly anyone who can take a CM.

I cannot see any game-plan ... or nothing effective. The old pressure/pressure, chaos game is dead. Teams keep defenders back and make us turn it over by out-numbering. We are easy beats now.

Then teams transfer the ball from defence I50 with smart decision-making and precise passing to create easy set-shots or other scoring opportunities.
They have recruited players who can kick and mark - as well as chase and contest, tackle.

Amazingly, it works. Must be why it's always been called FOOTball.

Well that was a crap decision. What a come back!

I only saw the last quarter but Miller was great. Looks like he's really starting to use his strength.
