Match Thread Round 14 2023 V Richmond

[saintbob]

I just close my eyes every time Howard has it in the back line and wait for the cheer of the opposition supporter!!!

[magnifisaint]

All well and good to pile on Howard but that defence was under fire for 10min. I saw Wilkie fire out a stinker that resulted in a goal… don’t see any comments about that.

Point is the midfield is to blame for what happened there

He can't defend. He is indefensible

[The_Dud]

Crouch had probably the quietest 15 touch quarter ever, didn’t feel like much impact.

[Banger9798]

Mids are losing every contest

[meher baba]

Wilkie, Wood, NWM (x2), Byrnes all made unnecessary mistakes that led directly to goals for Richmond. Howard turned the ball over near the end under enormous pressure. Is he on Jack Riewoldt?

[Otiman]

Is there a strong breeze? Looks like a lot going over our heads.

[Scollop]

Our players have no fkn idea how to set up our tall marking forwards. Instead of plonking it on their head, give them space.

Kick the footy to the open grass or to the open pockets and let the forwards run and jump. I hate wasted opportunities and I hate it when we kick to an outnumbered Forward

We have a midfielder coaching our forwards
We haven’t had a decent forward structure since Riewoldt days
We don’t lead up at the ball carrier
We are dumping it in there
Can’t rely on King pack marks all night

We outnumber them when it gets down to Richmond’s forward line but its pointless!! One turnover or a fumble and they pounce

We don’t value attack. We don’t have the smalls riving packs at CHF or FF. Their zoning so Richmond don’t go into attack too quick

All our mids are focused on defending

Most of our goals are incidental.

Wilkie, Wood, NWM (x2), Byrnes all made unnecessary mistakes that led directly to goals for Richmond. Howard turned the ball over near the end under enormous pressure. Is he on Jack Riewoldt?

What about his “effort” in the goal square that gifted them a goal?

[perfectionist]

Game over

[The_Dud]

There are free Tigers in every part of the field

[thecrevis]

Midfield is getting done. Steele and Gresham really aren't close to be being at the top of their games

[Teflon]

Every time they go forward they score
Time to throw the magnets

[skeptic]

Well thank goodness for that

[desertsaint]

well done, nas, max and butts

[skeptic]

I’m calling it now…

Caminiti or Higgins should be subbed now

[The_Dud]

I doubt the rain will help us…

[skeptic]

I wonder if the rain will help us…

Seems like it might take the polish off their slick movement

[The_Dud]

Unfortunately Marshall is a shocking set shot, really holding him back from taking the next step

[Teflon]

Who kicked that ball sideways???
**** idiot

[Scollop]

Stocker 16% Disposal efficiency. 20% for Wood. NWM 55% and surprisingly Gresh is going at 57%

That’s before the rain!

[The_Dud]

We’re continually trying to be too cute and it keeps coming unstuck

[desertsaint]

love it when cami kicks one!

[Scollop]

Luke Darcy; “Noah Bolta has got the better of Max since that mark….”

2 seconds later, Bolta plays on and King tackles him and it leads to the Hammer goaling!

You are a fwit Darcehole

[samoht]

Howard you be being Howard.

[The_Dud]

Oh well, time for the cricket!
