Have the Giants revealed Richmond's weakness?

The Age
16 July 2018


Richmond are top of the ladder, and with only four losses and in unmatched form at the MCG, the reigning premiers must be favourites to go back-to-back.

But their most recent loss, to GWS, revealed a weakness in the Tigers.

This week on The Age Real Footy Podcast, Michael Gleeson, Caroline Wilson and Jake Niall talk Richmond and just how good they are. And, given the Saints gave them a touch-up last year at Etihad Stadium, there's plenty of interest in this weekend's clash.

Hoping we kick inaccurately is the plan??

They managed to get around us with some absolute precision passing and even then if we had kicked straight they would have been in trouble. I dont think what they did is anything new to other clubs its just that there are probably only a handful of teams who would be able to execute.

They played as well as they could.

We missed 7 - 8 very gettable chances and 1 or 2 doozies.

That was the story of the game for mine.

GWS were kissed on the dick by a fairy to come up against us at our worst goal kicking game for just about ever

lol missing some a couple of good pressure players, away game with away game, in fact, sometimes surreal umpiring going both ways at times, nothing to panic about.

If the Giants found a way to beat us then good on them.

To the rest of the competition I'd say, just do it.

I doubt what the Giants did will work that often.

Lol if that’s the way to beat us then we’ll walk it in. Playing away a few short against a quality side playing for their season and we lost it not them winning it. Yeah we’ll be fine

100% agree, they couldn't play any better and there probably isn't a team that could move the ball as well as the Giants did Saturday night

Missed shots at goal cost us the game. Hardwick was dead right when he said that we did not make the most of our opportunities when we were on top during patches of the game.
