Richmond vs West Coast @ the MCG --- Round 8, 2023

[pmac21]

Worst than last week.  Crap skills.  No tackling pressure, broken tackles. 
Crowd groaning at every error which is a lot.

Spewing I didn't get on the Eagles at $6.

Dimma coaching like it's 2016

[Fluffy Tiger]

Is it a skills thing or confidence issue. Some of our more skilled guys are making so many mistakes. Nobody can even pick the ball up.

[WilliamPowell]

Some our so called "emerging talent" are a major concern

I am trying to patient but to see in the space of 4 minutes 2 blokes not put their bodies on the line is a worrying trend

[WilliamPowell]

So many horribly out of form, that's a confidence issue now

Our skills are terrible even without pressure.

No pressure from us on the ball carrier and we are letting them slice and dice easily

They have taken 32 marks which means we are not pressuring nor are we tackling the ball carrier nor are we even creating a contest in the air. Our forwards aren’t even creating a spoil and are just watching the defenders take the easy mark.

We are a very very ordinary team.

A bunch of lazy players either not willing or not physically able to work to a desired level or standard.

[pmac21]

Prestia, Graham, Ross, Hopper, Taranto are all slow.

Sadly, the cubs are having a mare. I know we want to give them games especially with our injuries but they are a liability. You can't have half a dozen players not contributing at all offensively or defensively and allowing their opponents to do whatever they want. Mind you some shouldn't be in the team this week such as Hugo, Clarke and Miller.

[Broadsword]

Honestly, the way we're playing, we just need a win today -- doesn't matter how ugly.

[Broadsword]

Gawd, Dusty is still a big boy. Took it like a champ.

[Broadsword]

We've hit the front! 

[Willy]

I’m big on Samson.

Shining light for me.

[Broadsword]

I'm glad the crowd is getting involved. You can hear them cheering us on this quarter. Temperature going up. We can always be relied upon to do our best to get the boys over the line.

[Broadsword]

Pickett forward line is a good move I reckon.

(Disclaimer: (BIAS) Pickett has been my favourite player for a couple of years now.)

What's the go with the goal kicking?.  3.8
