Match preview: Richmond v Adelaide
AFL.com.au
6 April 2016
SUMMARY
The opportunity to play again can't come soon enough for Richmond after it's 10 minute fourth-quarter meltdown against Collingwood. Damien Hardwick's men have been disappointing in the opening two rounds and far from convincing as a top-four hopeful. Those credentials will be further tested against a form team in Adelaide, which boasts a fearsome forward line. The Crows' organisation under new coach Don Pyke contrasts with the Tigers lack of a plan late in last Friday's shocker. Still, both sides are 1-1 and it would not be beyond the Tigers to flip their form on its head.
WHERE AND WHEN: Etihad Stadium, Saturday, April 9, 2.10pm AEST
LAST FIVE TIMES
R19, 2015, Adelaide 11.22 (88) d Richmond 8.4 (52) at Adelaide Oval
R21, 2014, Richmond 10.19 (79) d Adelaide 9.15 (69) at Adelaide Oval
R12, 2013, Richmond 16.14 (110) d Adelaide 10.12 (72) at the MCG
R14, 2012, Adelaide 17.4 (106) d Richmond 13.9 (87) at AAMI Stadium
R23, 2011, Richmond 17.19 (121) d Adelaide 15.9 (99) at AAMI Stadium
THE SIX POINTS
1. Adelaide dominated Richmond the last time they played, racking up 60 more disposals, 20 more tackles, 21 more scoring shots and 35 more inside 50s. Patrick Dangerfield was best on ground with 29 disposals.
2. Despite losing in round two to Collingwood the Tigers midfield was on top with five players finishing with 30 or more touches. The Crows midfield in the Showdown won the disposal count 412-324.
3. The Crows have three players in the top 10 in the competition for goalkicking – Josh Jenkins, Tom Lynch and Eddie Betts. They are ranked No.3 in the AFL for points for (241).
4. Richmond has won its last four games at Etihad Stadium. Adelaide won its most recent game at the venue by 112 points, kicking 27 goals against Essendon.
5. Poor ball use hurt the Tigers in round two, with 11 of Collingwood's 13 goals coming from turnovers. Their overall disposal efficiency was 75 per cent.
6. Young Tiger Kamdyn McIntosh is pushing up the Schick AFL Player Ratings after locking himself in the team's best 22, moving up more than 100 positions from No.658 to No.565 overall in just two rounds.
IT'S A BIG WEEK FOR …
Trent Cotchin. Not for the first time, the Tigers' skipper has been scrutinised for his leadership in the wake of a tight loss. His team will rally around him, but the midfielder will also be keen to let his football do the talking, for no other reason than to help the Tigers to a much-needed win.
PREDICTION: Adelaide by 11 points

Adelaide by 10 goals.

Line in the sand game!

Not confident at all. Overall have a poor record against Adelaide. Would feel more confident if playing at MCG. Do not have a great record at Etihad. Really need Maric in the side if not Hampson will be thrashed in the ruck. Hope the blow torch on the team in the media this week produces a positive response from the team.

We've actually won 4 of the last 5 against the Crows.
That said, our first 2 weeks would only beat the bottom 4 teams.

Will be there
Go to all home games and most away
Why would it change? :-X
If we are the good side they claim we are, then we bounce back and win
Simple really ;D

I am looking forward to feeling warm and fuzzy about an honourable loss this week.

We could play our best game of the year .....and still get touched up on the scoreboard.
They looked very impressive last week Adelaide - they are definitely getting Richmond at a good time .
They have had the tragic circumstances surrounding their former coach . They have lost their "once in a generation" player in Danger and they still haven't missed a beat.

ADELAIDE has suffered an injury blow ahead of Saturday's clash against Richmond at Etihad Stadium, with emerging midfielder Brad Crouch withdrawn from its squad with hamstring soreness.
Midfielder Jarryd Lyons, who had 26 disposals and 10 clearances in a best afield display in the SANFL last weekend, comes into the side to replace Crouch.

Richo’s fear as Tigers face Monsters Inc
Adelaide Advertiser
9 April 2016
Richardson lauded the bona fides of a Crows forward line boasting behemoths Walker, Josh Jenkins, Tom Lynch and mercurial Eddie Betts.
“The Crows are playing really good footy and fast starters, can blow you out of the water in 15 minutes,” said Richardson of the clash to be telecast on Channel 7 from 1.30pm on Saturday.
“Their forward line is just about the best in the competition with two big key position players in Jenkins and Walker with great workrate. Tommy Lynch is the best third tall in the competition. You also have the best crumber in the competition (Betts).
“Richmond must pressure in the middle, if Adelaide gets quick footy you can’t beat that forward line.”
Adelaide focused on team defence and precision disposal in its first pre-season under Pyke. Vaunted analyst and West Coast premiership on-baller Pyke is pushing the right buttons says Richardson.
“When a team is playing exciting, fast scoring footy that always tells me the coach is giving them freedom to play their own game. Any guy will tell you they love to play on instinct as long as you stick to team structures and rules and he has obviously got them doing that.”
Adelaide’s only weakness in a 58-point Showdown 40 triumph against Port Adelaide was a -15 inside-50 discrepancy. Dual Coleman Medallist Jack Riewoldt is the man to exploit any advantage.
“That is one area I am sure Don Pyke wouldn’t be happy with. Eventually a forward line will rip you apart if you are conceding too many,” said Richardson.

Tigers or Crows make finals: Wallace
Joshua Papanikolaou
SEN
08 Apr 2016, 05:37PM
Richmond will play Adelaide on Saturday at Etihad Stadium and only one of those teams will play finals football this year making the contest vitally important, according to Terry Wallace.
Both have one win from the first two games of the season but he is tipping the Crows to get the four points after a close game against North Melbourne followed by a Showdown demolition of Port Adelaide.
“I can’t see both of these sides getting inside the top eight and if they don’t both make it in this is a critical game, one of the two sides is going to be a game clear,” said Wallace on SEN radio.
“We talk about teams’ depth at times, when you go through their last five or six years at the national draft – you’ve got to get results out of your first picks and I’m just not sure the Tigers are getting enough.
“When you have a look at Richmond has recorded an efficiency of 68 per cent from around ground stoppages – that ranks 18th and that’s what Jacobs’ bread and butter is.
“If Talia stops Jack Riewoldt then danger, but Jack is the type of player that could cause him problems… it will be interesting to see how that plays out.
“Then they’re really reliant on Vickery doing a job.”

Provided Jack is permitted to play that role

Grabbing some Mexican for an early lunch then heading to the game. Gives me a good excuse to leave at 3/4 time if ive got the squirts and we are getting pounded by 10+ goals.

On form, availability and that our 'home' game is at Etihad which favours Adelaide ::), the Crows should win easily :P. However, it would be so Richmond to win a game like this when the pressure of expectation is off us and we're the written-off underdog. We'll either get flogged by 8-10 goals or grind out a narrow win :-\.

Getting ready to vent and meltdown

Not many people here....

Looks like we are back to the good old days of turnovers.

Tex is a tosser

Edwards can't turn the ball over like that, twice.

I think if we can just go sideways and backwards across goals eight or nine more times we're sure to win.

Heres another stat, at the moment we are 100% CRAP.

For all the media srutiny during the week, all the "we take full responsibility" BS and absolutely nothing has changed at all. We may as well give teams 30pts start, our turnovers are simply abysmal. It has to be the case the players just arent up to it. Just cant believe they can dish up this poo for consecutive weeks. Again you have to question leadership arpund the ground, too nice to the opposition.

What are stupid handball from B Ellis to Martin.. :banghead

Chimps handball was quality

Do we have one player in good form at the moment......no and thats our problem sadly, zero confidence across the ground.

26 down, well done Tiges, now spend the rest of the game playing catch up and lose by 40 odd.

We'd be getting some sick draft picks ..

Fat lady...32 down.
God, we are PATHETIC.
-
This team is never gonna go anywhere until they learn to deal with pressure. More often than not we crumble under pressure and make poor decisions and can't execute skills. Waste of talent this team is.
-
Wow Vickery is dumb

Well another 10 more of them from Lloyd and we might win...

“We are really excited about what we have brought in. We have got great depth of players that can take us where we need to go. We are just putting some cream on the top at the moment,” he said.
-
Edwards should have been eased in via VFL. clearly out of touch
-
I'm not getting excited yet, just a chubby at the moment... :pray

That's what happens when you move the ball long, quick and direct

I'm amused, should you not expect your leaders to be slotting them through from 10metres?
And to compound it they do the 11 point turnaround, instead of 14 points back out to 26
-
Rioli does not want a goal..
It shocks me that he has not been able to kick a goal despite opportunities

Geez Martin has been quiet

Monumental stuff up of the year yet again just then. how did we not get a goal just then on siren???

FFS!!!!!!!....take some friggin reaponsibility inside 50 instead of trying to run it to the goal line. This is so frustrating to watch, our game plan is so poorly executed I could write a 50 page post and still not cover all our mistakes. We have to be the leading turnover team in history, our turnovers already amount to over 50% of the Crows score.

9 goals have come from turnovers, huge.
sick of seeing players wanting to dish it off 30 out, before Lloyd slotted it he was looking to pass it off FFS
-
Martin needs to lift. 10 disposals in a half is not good enough for a player of his calibre

Really poor from Martin so far. Not good enough and his defensive efforts are non existent.

I dont care what anyone says this looking for other players inside 50 has to be a coaching thing but is intended for other parts of the ground. The problem with having so many players with low footy IQ we execute in the wrong places.
-
Spot on Lozza
-
We are winning the hard stats - contested ball, uncontested ball, marks inside 50, even our effective possies up 15% on them.
It's decision making and cla gets that are hurting us again.

cotch is killing it - credit where it is due. Roll the dice and make the top heavy Crowbots run their guts out.

Vlastuin is CRAP, joins Ellis x 2, Houli, Grigg, McIntosh, Chaplin....gee we actually have a very very poor side.

Yet again we win most of the stats but are pathetic, tells me that we get the ball but execute whatever they are trying to do extremely poorly. Unfortunately apart from Lids coming back I dont see where we can find improvement. Many players totally out of form and many players passengers or simply not adequately skilled. Its going to be a very long season guys.
-
Can't keep relying on Lids, he's about done..... who cares.....we have heaps of depth. Just look at my sig. :lol :lol :lol

It's is within the realms of possibility he umpires are rubbish. And the football club is rubbish
-
We are slow. Have poor skills. Can't lay an effective tackle. Clueless out of defence. No structure up forward. Have the dumbest players in football.
But atleast we WON the free kick count 20-16. :clapping
But wait a minute.....
It was the umpires fault. :phew

I hope the AFL take notice of the poor turn up today - 29k for a tiger home game is crap. It is not our home ground so don't bloody make us play there :banghead

could it be that some have finally had enough of these bunch of wa-nkers

We still show up at the G but our numbers at that ground are always poor.

I usually never miss a game on telly, today i didn't care. I did something else

One of be most relaxed times I've been to the footy. Knew we were going to play like garbage and they delivered in spades. Had a few laughs at the benny hill moments, hung crap on them with the people around us, saw Collingwood lost and just looked at guitar pictures. Now I'm on my way home to have a feed and watch some blurays. I ain't even mad.

Before some of you dumbass's have a go at me about umpires you better scroll back & read what l wrote why we lose.
The umpire comment comes from the last quarter when we never got a free kick but the same incident by us & its given against us right in front of goal.
The tigers are useless because they think backwards & go backwards & no-one can win a game of footy going backwards sideways 6 kicks they are hopeless
-
We always looks to go back when in possession.....why? :banghead
The mentality of the coaching staff
Because this is the exact, exact, exact game plan. This is exactly want Hardwick wants. Maintain possession. Good plan, but what happens when it gets you thrashed?

Noted in Dimma's presser today that he mentions about having a different team and that we as a club may need to take a step back in order to take two steps forward. This is consistent with a rumour I think on BF where apparently behind closed doors as part of Dimma's new contract he has a mandate to introduce some younger players in the team with the understanding we may finish outside of the finals this year. A consequence being that we get a higher draft pick, some valuable experience into the youth and then aggressively trade at end of year for a full assault next season. Could all be BS but his comments do seem to fit in with the original rumour.

Then he is a hypercritical piece of poo. Read the statement directly from him in my signature.....
FFS, who is sick of the continual poo and lies we are fed....ME!!!!

Someone just having a guess. Playing with their own poo while in the WC cause that's all it is.

Absolute garbage
The aim is top 4
-
We are simply not good enough at the moment
Footy has changed from last year was no sub and interchange restrictions
We are struggling big time
Oh one last thing , no extended time off for Rance in the off season next year as after 3 rounds , he is struggling with fitness in the games

I don't agree with the Rance comment, although he isn't playing as well as he did last year I think they are all struggling fitness wise late in games
Yesterday we gifted Adel 7 of their first 9 goals from our woeful turnovers - that's the game right there. Throw in a couple of easy misses from us (read Jack, Ty, and young Rioli) and we put the game on platter to them.
I can actually see we are trying to move the ball quicker, hence why our handball to kick ratio is showing we are disposing by hand more than foot. But with our terrible decision making (read we go for one handball too many to often) then it makes the turnovers all the more glaring. Then you throw in us missing targets 10 metres away then it's all over red rover (read Cotchin, Ellis b, Menadue, Edwards etc by hand)
Thought Hampson played his best game for the club.
And kudos to big tne; he said we should play McIntosh of the HBF to give us some run & carry. We did and it worked a treat, though it was Kam's best game of the year.
Come to think of it; is there anyone they didn't try at a HB? Hell in the last he put Dusty down there ;D. Actually just on Dusty will cut him some slack this week, pretty upsetting week for him with what happened off field with his family
The other thing and I've said this a lot to people I sit with at the games, compared to other teams we just look slow. Not sure why that is because in years gone by we've looked and been quick this year we just look slow. Is it confidence thing? I don't know but gee we need to rectify it ASAP
Sad thing about yesterday (and Don Fistiki & I said it to each other half through the last qtr) is we are most likely to come out on Friday night and beat the Eagles. Not because the problems are magically solved but because there is no pressure on us to do anything else but lose... then we will capitulate the week after against Melb because it's what we do
Said it before and will say it over and over again with the RFC it's about which one turns up on the day; so much of it is all above the shoulders with our players and after 7 years I would have thought our coach and his band of assistants would have been able to get this massive weakness sorted by now
-
not a snow balls chance we will beat the Eagles. Pretty sure that was a typo.

Can only really see us beating the Don's at the minute and thats at a stretch.

Nope
No type, just know this so well...when the heat's off; we are world beaters :snidegrin

I'd doubt playing the game at the 'G would've made any difference to the result given how we played, however, the Crows have played more times at Etihad than we have since 2013. So much for a 'home' game.

Vlastuin had a stinker on Saturday.
Cotchin was wonderful, I was happy with Rioli. I may be wrong about Lloyd but he looked up to the standard and then some, could be a a great find.
Jayden Short needs to be dropped, if anything because senior players don't like giving it to him, even when he's the best option.
Agree with WP, we're every chance to beat W.C. We've played v well over there of recent, if that's anything to go by.

we are a 2 man team down at Punt Road dont you know that?

Unfortunately we lack on field leaders telling players where to stand. We have a lot of newbies that wouldn't know team structures that well yet.
So if you take two guys out who don't add anything and then replace them with 2 on field leaders, you get a disproportionate improvement in the whole team performance.
-
I'm expecting a huge loss next week, over 10 goals probably as close as we get. Naitanui will slaughter Hamspud all over the ground, Priddis will have a field day as we cant seem stop any opposition midfielder getting the ball let alone their best, McGovern will get the ball kicked to him on most of our forward entries, and the Eagles forwards will think it's Christmas come early. This will be last years round 6 loss to Norf but with a worse result.

Surely they drag or at least ream the players not giving it off if that's the case? Kid kicked three in his first game and has shown he at least has reliable hands if you put it to his advantage but the other idiots don't want to give it to him (probably to suit their selfish desires or help out their mates) so somehow Short should be dropped?

From Robbo's dislikes column:
FLUFFING AROUND WITH THE PILL
RICHMOND had 420 disposals for 25 scoring shots while Adelaide had 368 disposals for 30 scoring shots. The Crows move the ball, quickly, kick long and have a forward line full of weapons. The Tigers had 52 inside 50s and the Crows 57, yet the margin was a convincing 36 points. The Tigers like to keep the pill, but turnovers killed them this week. It seems the Tigers find a different way not to perform every week.
TOO EARLY TO SAY ‘CRISIS’?
AFTER three rounds, it’s foolish to suggest Richmond and Collingwood are out of finals contention. But we might announce that after next weekend. The Tigers play West Coast away and the Pies take on Melbourne at the ’G. If both teams are 1-3, then finals are wishful thinking. Their problems are multiple. Skills poor, lack of team defence, lack of pressure and not a lot of razzamatazz in the forward lines. It means one thing: They aren’t good football teams.

Dimma, poor man Louis van gaal
Loves kicking sideways when everyone one else and his dog has evolved
-
we have had a huge problem with our forward line now for maybe 3-4 years .it just doesn't score enough.WE had to fix it and we haven't..Surely the blame here is with coaching and recruiting........I must admit I have a laugh when our club is now linked with any player as we probably really have no chance of securing anyone of note..I would imagine that an understanding between said player and new club has been reached ,long before we enter the fray.

But out backline is amazing
3rd best in the afl

Troy Chaplin, Richmond, has been charged with engaging in rough conduct against Wayne Milera, Adelaide Crows, during the third quarter of the Round Three match between Richmond and the Adelaide Crows, played at Etihad Stadium on Saturday April 9, 2016.
In summary, he can accept a $1000 sanction with an early plea.
Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from the Adelaide Crows Football Club, the incident was assessed as intentional conduct with low impact to the body. The incident was classified as a $1500 sanction. The player has no applicable record which impacts the penalty. An early plea enables the player to accept a $1000 sanction.

Read a stat that we are leading or 2nd or 3rd for marks inside 50 this year :gobdrop. Before some of the usual emo's say I'm make excuses, I'm not. I just thought it was interesting

Is that bc we always pass it off? Every time we take a mark inside 50 even 25-30 out we have players looking to pass it off

Even if that's the case, not many teams allow you to take easy marks inside 50
