SUMMARY

North Melbourne and Richmond were both widely viewed as top-four contenders ahead of this season, but the loser of this game will slump to a miserable 2-4 start. As unconvincing as both teams have been at times in the first five rounds, North has had a far harder draw, having played three 2014 finalists compared to one for the Tigers. The Roos have also had the wood over Richmond in recent years, winning five of their past six clashes, while the Tigers will be playing at Blundstone Arena for the first time. North enjoys playing at its Hobart 'home' and its 4-2 record there suggests it should claim a much-needed win.

WHERE AND WHEN: Blundstone Arena, Saturday, May 9, 1.45pm AEST

LAST FIVE TIMES
R12, 2014, North Melbourne 17.14 (116) d Richmond 13.10 (88) at Etihad Stadium
R15, 2013, North Melbourne 19.14 (128) d Richmond 8.18 (66) at Etihad Stadium
R17, 2012, North Melbourne 15.13 (103) d Richmond 14.15 (99) at the MCG
R24, 2011, North Melbourne 15.14 (104) d Richmond 13.13 (91) at Etihad Stadium
R5, 2011, Richmond 17.10 (112) d North Melbourne 14.19 (103) at Etihad Stadium

THE SIX POINTS
1. It was a see-sawing game the last time these teams clashed in round 12 last year. Richmond dominated the first half to lead by 35 points at half-time, while the Kangaroos hit back in the second half with 13 goals to three to win by 28 points.

2. North ruckman Todd Goldstein leads the competition in hit-outs this year (203 at 40.6 a game) while Richmond counterpart Ivan Maric is 10th with 143 hitouts at 28.6 a game.

3. If North defeats Richmond this round it will be first time the Roos have defeated the Tigers in five consecutive games since 1995-97.

4. The Kangaroos are ranked 18th for tackles this season, averaging 50 a game, with the Tigers ranked 11th (62.6 a game).

5. This will be just the second premiership game the Tigers have played in Tasmania. Their first was in 2006 against Hawthorn at Aurora Stadium.

6. Richmond has received more free kicks than any other team in 2015 (25.4 a game), while North Melbourne is ranked equal fifth (20.8).

IT'S A BIG WEEK FOR…
Damien Hardwick. Richmond sits 2-3 and 11th on the ladder after a relatively easy start to the season, and the coach will know blowtorches with his name on them are being warmed up. Following this game, the Tigers take on Port Adelaide (Adelaide Oval), Essendon and Fremantle (Domain Stadium) before their round 11 bye. It's a tough draw and Hardwick will be determined that his team doesn't dig itself an early-season hole like last year. To avoid this, the Tigers need to emerge from the next month with at least two wins. A victory against the Roos would be a good start.

PREDICTION: North Melbourne by 15 points.

I say mix things up. Why not start 21 players in a defensive zone in the defensive 50. Maric can yield into the fetal position at the opening bounce, as a mark of respect to our Arden St Overlords.

Morris can repeatedly fall over on the charge. Cotchin can point to the wrong end and charge into the crowd. Grigg can do laps of the boundary line waiting for the outside ball. So many productive ideas......

Maybe damien could dissect the match before we play

Here are quarter by quarters

North   2-2-14     7-3-45      14-7-91    23-11-149

Rich     4-2-26     7-5-47        9-7-61     11-7-73

Dimma will claim we won the frees for 9-3 in the second half which despite the scoreboard is a true indication of players are willing to put their head over the ball.
Q. You are 2-4 Damien. Looks alot like last year?

"We are definentely better than last year. Last year we would have kicked 8-10 goals. This year we have kicked 11. Clear improvement and furthermore to what I have been saying all along is
The pleasing thing is we didn't lose by over 100. So it shows as a group how much we have grown and matured and by 2021 these games will only be lost by 60 points with a bit of luck, I might also add there was no heartwrenching second half fadeout as we were only 2 points up this year so it was a 50/50 game. Again another sign of maturity."   plus

"Ty was really able to show the footy world today he he is a bona fide star. Some will argue he dropped two marks and I'll tell you he got into position to take them in the first place. He doesn't chase well he is in position to get the handball over the top should it materialise". He didn't tackle, well see my last point mate. I'll go as far as saying he is back to where would like him playing his footy. Is that allright? Thanks guys."

Dimma leaves and takes his coke can with him.

If we got north to offer an 11 goal loss without fielding a team, I'd say take it. The reality will be closer to 3 figures and it would make for a refreshing 'Dimmas Dissection' next week

Save your money brackets. If you did I guarantee we would get just one goal in that quarter at the 31 minute mark from-

1. A Cotch set shot from 40
2. A Vickery mark busting the pack open running with the flight of the ball and without losing stride running in to kick it out of the ground.
3. A Grigg on the right foot from 50. Or Bachar for that matter.
4. A long pointless kick into the forward line. Ball lands in the square and lands on the boot of the player you dislike the most and through it trundles for a sausage roll just as you watch the countdown clock tick to 05 seconds left in the quarter to add salt into your wounds.

Like I said save your money for the moonshine on Sat night. :thumbsup

Miles to Lids to Titch to Astbury. Back to Grigg. Goes wide towards Jack and it bounces out of bounds.

Ellis has a bounce and bananas it but luckily it comes off Thompson's foot OOTF. We stuff it up and turn it over again over-possessing it  :banghead. The only reason this is still close is because North aren't that good.

Good tackle by Newy on Nahas.

It's laughable isn't it. We just give up soft easy goals.

If you want a lesson in how to play the most inefficient footy then just show us playing. Only 48 kicks to 70 handballs. Good luck becoming successful with that ratio  :help. This is Wallace-esque foot-hand-ball.

Same old story of being highly vulnerable in the last 30 seconds of quarters, have seen it happen so many times. At the centre bounce with seconds to go why wouldn't we go man on man and shut the ball down. No small forwards is killing us inside 50, once it hits the ground its gone the length of the field and they score, frustration personified watching this game.

We look slower because we don't work hard enough off the ball. Don't run hard enough in attack to create options in space (too busy running alongside the teammate with the ball for the cheap handball) and we don't switch and run hard on transition to get back to defend, clog up space for the opposition  and help out our backline.

118 disposals in that first quarter. That's 60 disposals for every goal  :help. So we'll need 1000 possessions to win today  :snidegrin.

Grigg pulls the kick to Gordon who fumbles and it's turned over.

We get it back and Batch runs hard forward and marks. Misses from 40 out.

Richmond have generated 10 scoring shots from 13 forward 50 entries for just 3.7.25"



"Not surprisingly considering there is one goal the margin, but most statistical areas are even at half time. Both sides have 60 contested possessions apiece, the Kangaroos have a disposal efficiency of 77 per cent compared to the Tigers 76 per cent."

Again, another shocker by Gordon and we gift another last 30 seconds of quarter goal. It would be quicker to train some monkeys than this lot, they would have to be the dumbest footballers i have had the displeasure of watching. I think after coming up with various reasons why we lose games i think it can be due to two simple factors. Firstly on an individual basis our players are not as skilled as opposition players and secondly our players cant make the right decisions with the ball. Time and time again our entry into 50 is haphazard at best and we are usually outnumbered 3 to 1. In our defensive 50 we are outnumbered, how the hell does this happen, we must have 5 midfielders having a picnic in the centre square.

This game is typical of our year. We're actually on top in general play but our useless forward half with no smalls means we need to work our guts out to score while North are just picking off our turnovers and running it down the other end for easy goals. As we tire in the second half, the errors will increase and North will be given more chances off our mistakes. That's what usually happens  :scream :help.

They're crap as shown up by Hawthorn last week. A good side would be 4-5 goals up on them based on how they are playing today. However, Geelong didn't play that well last week and they still beat us.

Quote from: dwaino
Dead set it is frustrating. I don't get it, just do the same thing every time. Been 15 years since I played rep footy and was an early look in for Brisbane zone selection, but I can still go down the park and hit 9 out of 10 from 50 at any angle (was lucky enough to have Roger Merrett as a kicking coach early and later on trained with Vossy's bro and few of the other boys, but no different to what these players have access to). It's like when these blokes get to AFL they're told to forget absolutely they were taught as juniors.
Blame the sports scientists who say goalkicking practice is an increase in loading and will tire the legs :facepalm.

Maybe damien could dissect the match before we play

Here are quarter by quarters

North   2-2-14     7-3-45      14-7-91    23-11-149

Rich     4-2-26     7-5-47        9-7-61     11-7-73

Dimma will claim we won the frees for 9-3 in the second half which despite the scoreboard is a true indication of players are willing to put their head over the ball.
Q. You are 2-4 Damien. Looks alot like last year?

"We are definentely better than last year. Last year we would have kicked 8-10 goals. This year we have kicked 11. Clear improvement and furthermore to what I have been saying all along is
The pleasing thing is we didn't lose by over 100. So it shows as a group how much we have grown and matured and by 2021 these games will only be lost by 60 points with a bit of luck, I might also add there was no heartwrenching second half fadeout as we were only 2 points up this year so it was a 50/50 game. Again another sign of maturity."   plus

"Ty was really able to show the footy world today he he is a bona fide star. Some will argue he dropped two marks and I'll tell you he got into position to take them in the first place. He doesn't chase well he is in position to get the handball over the top should it materialise". He didn't tackle, well see my last point mate. I'll go as far as saying he is back to where would like him playing his footy. Is that allright? Thanks guys."

Dimma leaves and takes his coke can with him.

Here we go lads. :thumbsup

Other than makes me Sickery not playing. :help

Makes my assessment even worse. :help

It never ceases to amaze how often we kick to a player standing flat footed. Have lost count the amount of times a nth player has been able to hit the marking contest at full pace to spoil or take a mark with a richmond dunce sitting underneath
We don't run hard for each other to create options in space. Watch the game from behind our defensive goal and you see Richmond players upfield standing still next to their direct opponent. We are soft, lazy and just plain not good enough.


3/4 time

Richmond   2.1    5.8    6.11-47
North Melb. 3.2    6.8  13.10-88

Goals: Riewoldt 2, Martin, Edwards, Maric, Morris

No discipline.

Players are frustrated cause of the style of play being produced.

Coach needs to go Monday.

Nah we need Vickery.

We'd be a goal closer. Things wouldn't be that grim.

We've had 261 touches for 6 goals.

We could have Dunstall, Ablett and Lockett up forward and they wouldn't have touched it.

Vickery is poo.

No one would make him a good player. Useless.
I think most rational footy watchers would know he's poo & lazy.

No doubt Richmond has contributed to his softness.

We've been half ar$ed for 3 decades.

Tokenistic, half hearted and half measured systems in place.

Dimma, Blair, FJ, Benny need to face the music.

After 2010 and the promise of no corners being cut this is woeful.

Dimma said even if he wasn't the man to coach us to an 11th flag he will at least be the reason why we will get there and have a huge hand in it.

Another Dimma broken promise.

We've peaked the Sydney round 23 game last year.

We are in freefall. It's going to get ugly 2004 style. :help

"A comfortable victory to the Kangaroos in the end despite being well beaten in contested possession 113 - 125, uncontested possession 207 - 228, clearances 26 - 36 and inside 50s 41 - 50."

"Richmond's disposal hurt them today, kicking at an efficiency of just 60 per cent compared to North Melbourne's 68 per cent."

"Richmond has been outscored 14.7.91 to 6.10.46 from turnovers today. Including today, the Tigers have lost all four games this season when they have been outscored from this score source."


So 10 goals to us from 50 insides 50s = 20%.

North 16 goals from 41 inside 50s = 40%.

Us: 355 disposals for 10 goals = 35.5 per goal.

North: 323 disposals for 16 goals = 20 per goal.

Playing keepings off .... that is keeping off our teammates 😩 this mob is disgracefully coached, the game plan forces these incompetents to kick short and look for the dinky kick and soft hand ball as first option!!!!! No wonder we can't score the players are to blame but they have their confidence sapped by this crap game plan ...... hang your heads coaching staff.

I think our skills are poor due to the fact we overuse the ball..handballs that travel centimetres..is truly mindblowing

Always come from someone who has time and space to KICK the ball but decide they rather handball to someone under immense pressure :banghead

For the sake of two EF losses Hardwick's now essentially taken us back to 2004 levels.....and yes Jackson, Hartley, Richardson, Burge etc and the people who hired them are all equally culpable....

Comes back to decision making & composure. Blokes like Cotchin, Martin, Riewoldt & Vlastuin were all good at these things when they arrived but it's hard to maintain these atributes yourself when you're surrounded by so many headless chooks and a dumb coach who discourages flair and players thinking for themselves. If we somehow convince Shiels to come to this rabble or bring in some other talented players but other things don't change, they'll probably just start serving up the same shyte after a while too....

Dimma Dissection uses stats, today showed why stats are a complete furphy, yes you have stats to measure some KPIs but we consistently rate highly in clearances and inside 50's but fail to win games. That tells me that we cant execute and we cant execute because we simply don't have the individual ability of other teams nor the confidence of our so called game plan.

We have no player who could win a game off his own boot, we don't have enough players who can weave in and out opposition defences (Sheds is probably our only one, Cotch sometimes but seems to have lost his zip, Dustry is a one trick pony with his palm and opposition sides are now prepared for it) and set up a team mate or score themselves. We don't have these sorts of players solely due to the safe recruiting policy of the club. We so badly need to pick up some match hardened, skilled and speedy individuals which in time (yes folks another rebuild coming up) will be the sorts of players needed in our leadership group.

Did anyone know that Newman played today, what a waste of space when his position could be taken by a younger player. We still clearly lack running speed, how many times today did our players get run down, we have no awareness, no speed and just poor skills. I just lost count of the number of 20 metre passes that had to be picked up on the half volley, surely a professional footballer should be able to nail a pass like this without issue, yes the odd one misses but we consistently fail to hit chests, players having to dive and take miraculous marks when it should be so easy. We make a relatively simple game so complicated, not sure if this is Hardwick's game plan not being executed by players or if the players have simply lost confidence in the game plan (if we have one at all).

After watching today's game it is clear our season is over, don't expect the heroics of last season, that was a flash in the pan, we are in serious trouble guys and Hardwick will do very well to coach this side next season. The next four weeks will be losses so we will be 2-8 with no win in sight because at the current rate i really cant see us beating any side in the competition.

Look we lost Griffiths early, Newman with a hammy and Deledio/miles/rance and vlastuin all came off with blood rule which affected our rotations, we're really pleased we won the clearances. We know where we're at and where we're going.

Yes Dimma

If it wasn't for toilet paper id have skata on my fingers. Hang on. :help

Most of which went down once the game was over....

Only highlight in Hobart today was the fire in the Ponting Stand. Gave us something else to concerns ourselves with rather the crap that was happening on the field

So glad I have no more interstate trips booked for this year.

Newman being on our list is a clue as to our clubs mistaken priorities

95% of fans knew that Newman going on another year would be a mistake. Fans who are not on the inside of the club and who aren't paid professionals in the sport.

So there's something wrong when the professionals who have the expertise and access to all the info get it so wrong compared to the outside layperson. Conca over Heppell is another example of this. Hampson for a second round pick is another. We could all list another 6-12 examples.

So Drilling down further, what are these mistaken priorities? Have we overrated our list?  Is it an innocent series of poo decisions? Is it Jobs for mates with performance a secondary priority. Is it structure over substance? Are the powers that be just not cut out for it all? Is it a mixture of them all?

Dooks, they clearly Can't see the forest for the trees.
We should get someone who is respected and external to the club for a thorough review on both on
and off field.
Prove you're accountable Richmond - get someone else to challenge your management rather than patting each other on the back

Actually Dooks, we were talking about the Newman situation yesterday trying to work out the reason behind giving him another year.

And one thing that came up as this issue regarding our obvious lack of leadership. Someone suggested that maybe he was given another year simply because our leadership is so poor that the powers that be determined rightly or wrongly he could offer something there.

My comment that was that the idea may have merit but leadership can also be shown at the lower level if form doesn't warrant running around in the AFL side.

Sadly that is one of the main problems right now with Newman, his form doesn't warrant AFL games and the club won't drop him and he seems unwilling to put his hand up. So we are now carrying a bloke because he is "held in such high" regard.

They've created a rod for their back and they clearly haven't got either the courage or any idea how to fix it. Sadly IMHO it's the former not the latter

Looks like history repeats its self.
Last year against same team Scott changes things up in third quarter. North piles goals on. Hardwick looks dumbfounded in box. North go on to win by close to same margin.
Stuff I hope pies pants us this week.
Surely then some one needs to make the ultimate call.

By the way, our turnovers per quarter were:

Q1:  1
Q2:  3
Q3:  7
Q4:  4

The competition's average score from opposition turnovers is 50. We almost doubled that average, gifting North 92 pts on the weekend :banghead

I will correct that
I have bagged the process previously
