Well it hurts that we must celebrate such small achievements, but winning 2 quarters in a game is probably uncharted waters for this group.

Since we lack the attacking options and organization, I think they now realise what is required to win a game over a four quarter arm wrestle.

Still the opposition putting on 53 points in the last term is a horror show (what happened I went to dinner?)

Edwards showed improvement, Webberley can kick properly, tackling and aggression over first 3 quarters.

Watching Richmond is like watching Groundhog Day. Only i remember laughing a few times during the movie. The shyt they served up in the last half today is laughable!
The only positive is that a few of these pretenders are a little closer to being shown the door.

Impressed with Edwards kicking & attack on the ball
Tuck needs to play forward his kicking at goals is what we need
Nahas attacking & tackling. His 2nd & 3rd efforts while Rewoldt watches were terrific
Polo hit on Douglas & taking him out after he started getting beat, Thats how its done show some mongrel

You are right Jack no positives ::)

I thought our commitment was great for 3 quarters.

Webberley good debut

Nason Martin and Cotchin

and with a bit of luck the umps could have given us something in the second and theird quarters when they just thought that putting the whistle away. How Moore did not get a free kick when Burton was legging him is beyond me as an example that comes to mind.

Maybe Adelaide were terrible because we actually were not that bad just could not keep up the intensity in the last. . Again some positives in my eyes.

Nason, 12 possesions in a team thats get beat by 50 points.

Webberley looked okay
At least he wants to kick the ball, well theres a positive :clapping

Pick 4 is ours

Plus we get to hear Jack peddle his agenda for another week based on a side not up to AFL

Its not only about positives its about second efforts and third efforts from Nason and he has a huge heart and appetite for it compared to Tambling who has a half hearted effort and yes we may have been overrun in the end but critically in the last he was half hearted going for the ball and dropping an easy mark and had the main hand in Adel first three goals in the last quarter. Trade bait.

There is another positive. Now lets get what we can for him.

Webberly, great first game, Astbury just looks good and will really be one to watch when we improve as a group. Nason getting better, fades in and out but the fitter he gets the better he will get. Edwards has turned a corner over the last 3 weeks for mine, he still has a few turnovers but as a whole his game today was very good, please keep it up. Polak was great, please remember there is only so much he can do for his first game back, missed a couple of easy shots but oresented well around the ground. Martin and Cotchinplayed well and I thought McGuane battled hard all day, became very frustrated in the last and rightly so. Our back line held up well most of the day too which was a good sign and Nahas continues his hard work.

I thought that "on paper" it was a very ordinary tiger line up......So to match it with Adelaide for 3 quarters was a good effort.

* Nahas was dangerous.

* Cotchin was terrific early.

* Polly has ended the career of Simmonds (hopefully)..Shame Polly is still a questionable kick for goal.

* Edwards and Lids were good.

Kicking for goal really let us down. Edwards, Nahas, Tuck and Cotchin battled hard. A real concern the last quarter fade out. Just got to keep on working on how to be competitive for the entire game

Polak and Edwards were my 2 biggest positives.

Polak's input was light years ahead of anything Simmonds has been able to give this year and Edwards has shown in the past few weeks that he has the potential to make it.  I'm one of his biggest critics but if he keeps up his output of the past few weeks then I would be happy to keep him.

Cotchin played a lot better yesterday and showed that fitness is the main thing preventing him from tearing a game apart.

Nahas was good but ran out of legs like the rest of them, Astbury in patches.

And the team in general - apart from last weeks poor game, we have shown improvement in every game this season and stayed in every game for longer periods.  A win is not so far away now and it might just make a huge difference to the confidence level of the kids to actually sing the song at the end of the game.

Polak was good
Should be used in the ruck more :thumbsup

Polak provided a contest and big man link up around the ground that has sorley been missing. Hopefully he will get better.

Deledio played very good for 2 1/2 quaters.

Edwards just keeps on improving each week.

Webberly made a solid debut

Nason, although didnt tear them up, looks like he belongs.

Pressure on the opposition and desire to spread when in possession was good for three quarters.

Again we match the opposition in contested possessions , funnily enough it was uncontested possesions where we got belted.

Nahas starting to show the spark that he provided last year.
