The bookies have us as slight favourite :huh3.

Seriously thinking about not going
Cannot take another week of being embarrassed :'(
-
Definitely not going again in 2022 myself I've had enough. Honestly when the club has clear discipline issues that are happening every week and the wrong players get selected so why should we bother? Unfortunately our club that we all love has become arrogantly stupid. Seriously stupid. If I was Brendan I would be having a proper fecking conversation with the whole group including Damien...
Fecking Rockstars. Unfortunately the season is likely done and we possibly won't win another game.
As for players like Aa and Ca they need to just do the club a favour and just resign tomorrow.. Deadset Frauds stealing members money. But sadly they will remain and get selected again.
-
I'm hoping to be there. At least it will save my furniture and especially the TV from any risk of putting a foot through it if we dish up more of the same arrogant and soft rubbish from the past two weeks or so :P.
Having said that I'm expecting the irony of the Club announcing 100k members this week and then a small crowd turning given our form or lack of it and that it is at Marvel which our supporters hate especially when we are forced to play a home game there. Maybe just a fraction more than the Suns game last year :-\. Get ready for the usual pile on afterwards from the media and opposition supporters.
-
I'd love to be there but the 3.5 hour drive is prohibitive.
We really should try and fill the joint. It's a must win game and we should be able to get 40k there.
Might just get the players up?

Forgot the Suns game was technically an 'away' game. Add the late notice by the AFL about the match time and venue and that's why we only got 9327.
We've only got 40k against Melbourne-based teams or Sydney with its old South Melbourne following.
Most of our Docklands home games against interstate teams achieve crowds in the 20,000s.
Actual 'home' games at Docklands:
R9, 2021 vs GWS 18,798 Won by 4
R5, 2019 vs Sydney 40,053 Won by 22
R15, 2018 vs Sydney 43,519 Won by 26
R17, 2017 vs Brisbane 28,188 Won by 31
R3, 2016 vs Adelaide 29,951 Lost by 36
R23, 2015 vs North 40,461 Won by 41 .... Brad Scott infamously 'resting' 13 Roos before the Elim Final.
R17, 2014 vs Port 21,483 Won by 20
R3, 2013 vs Bulldogs 44,045 Won by 67
R5, 2012 vs West Coast 28,464 Lost by 10
Playing Freo at Docklands:
R15, 2010 25,707 Won by 19
R4, 2000 23,578 Lost by 1
https://afltables.com/afl/teams/richmond/allgames_vn.html#34
ps. While we've won most of our 'home' games there in recent years, we've lost our last 4 straight at Marvel.
-
These are just numbers. Fans just need to turn up, who cares where it is. Least you know you won't get wet
-
Why the hell would I turn up to this dump. The players don't want to be there and play like it so why would the fans go?
-

Reminds me of that old commercial where the Richmond boys showed up in a supporters living room and said “if your not gonna show up why should we?” Thick was back in the TAC days.
-
Looking forward to what the dumbest team in the AFL dishes up next
-
On the way home from the game I swore I'd never go to another game that Aarts was playing in, but I'll probably end up going!!
-
Longmuir was hopeful Pearce would return for Friday night's crunch game against Richmond at Marvel Stadium after making steady improvement from a calf injury.
Forward/ruck Rory Lobb has been cleared of structural damage to the right shoulder he jolted against the Swans, with his pain and function improving.
Longmuir was wary of a Richmond team that could still compete with the best in the competition and score heavily.

Hardwick calls on Tiger Army for crucial Freo clash
By AAP
20 July 2022
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick has called on the Tiger Army to turn out in numbers for the clash with Fremantle after its official membership swelled past 100,000 for a fifth straight year.
Clinging to eighth spot on percentage, the Tigers host the fourth-placed Dockers in a rare 'home' fixture at Marvel Stadium on Friday night.
Hardwick was asked on Wednesday if fans will turn up to support Richmond in the important clash with Fremantle, which will be crucial in shaping both sides' finals prospects.
"I'd hope so," he said.
"They're seeing a side that's been incredibly proud over a long period of time and continues to give their best and play their best.
"Even last week, we played some incredible footy at various stages (in the upset loss to North Melbourne).
"We let ourselves down in other aspects but the fact of the matter is we had 67 inside-50s, we had 33 scoring shots and all those sorts of things I could reel out.
"We just didn't get the result but our fans know we come to play.
"They'd be disappointed, like we are, over the last couple of weeks in the close losses but we stick fat."
Richmond has a 3-7 record at Marvel Stadium in its last 10 trips to the venue, including a run of four consecutive defeats that includes losses to St Kilda and North Melbourne this season.
"It doesn't hold any fears for us," Hardwick said.
"Goalkicking-wise it might've been a little bit better on the weekend but we go there and any club will say the same, 'It's anytime, anywhere'.
"We've just got to make sure we play our very best footy against a very good side."

“ girls on the Avenue”
That’s where my night will be spent..
-
I wanna go but no dad or bro. Sigh
-
Seriously thinking about not going
Cannot take another week of being embarrassed :'(
Can completely understand that position. North game was atrocious. Plus I cannot stand Marvel. It should be at the MCG.
-
We don’t get Punt rd end at all MCG games :banghead
We have to travel to Marvel for home games :banghead :banghead :banghead
100,000 members can protest by not going and the AFL can get stuffed unless they give us what we deserve especially considering we made the game better to watch in the last 5 years now that other teams are copying our style.
We should be rewarded.
-
We don’t get Punt rd end at all MCG games :banghead
While I get your angst here
Facts are like it or not we are a MCG co-tenant and we cannot have the Punt Road end for non home games except against Collingwood
It is the way it is and has been for a very long time now
-
I actually like going to Marvel ..
Prefer it from a public transport perspective (my line stops at Southern Cross from Regional Victoria)
Definitely find the seats more comfortable
I prefer the food and drink options there and like the outside precinct better than that at the G
The roof being closed if required is fantastic
I understand that it's not our home ground, but don't get the absolute hatred of the place from a viewing/supporter comfort perspective
-
We need a big crowd in, it's as simple as that.
Lower the crowd the more it advantages Freo
-
We don’t get Punt rd end at all MCG games :banghead
It is the way it is and has been for a very long time now
Doesn’t mean it’s right

Lobb out for Freo?
------------------------------
Fremantle forward Rory Lobb appears set to miss the Dockers’ top-four shaping clash against Richmond, with the spearhead a noticeable absentee at training in Melbourne on Thursday.
Lobb injured his shoulder in their loss to Sydney at the weekend, but played out the match, with coach Justin Longmuir saying he was hopeful the forward would be available as late as Tuesday.
The Dockers’ leading goalkicker was not on the track at North Port Oval, the home of VFL side Port Melbourne, as the players went through their usual captain’s run.
Wingman Liam Henry and midfielder Mitch Crowden have travelled with the team, while vice-captain and star defender Alex Pearce looks set to return after missing the past two games with a calf injury.
Pearce’s return could mean swingman Griffin Logue returns to the forward line, kicking two goals in their win over Brisbane earlier this year as well as playing as a defensive forward.
Logue is set not to be needed in defence, with the Tigers to have a smaller forward line in the absence of hamstrung key forward Tom Lynch.

Richmond v Fremantle Preview
Nic Negrepontis
SEN
21 July 2022
Fremantle and Richmond will meet on Friday night in what looms as a contest with huge ladder implications either way.
The Tigers must correct their course after dropping a 40-point lead to Gold Coast and losing to North Melbourne in successive weeks, while the Dockers also have something to prove after going down to Sydney at home.
The Tiges could be in danger of missing finals altogether if they don’t find a few wins, but this will be far from straightforward against a strong Freo side.
Fremantle broke a run of four straight losses to the Tigers in 2021 in a low-scoring thriller at Optus Stadium.
They face off at Marvel Stadium, a venue they haven’t played together at since 2010. The Dockers recently took down St Kilda at Docklands, showing they play the ground well.
Will Richmond’s inaccuracy in front of goal rear up again? Have teams begun to work out Fremantle’s style in recent weeks?
These will all be questions asked in a contest between two teams that desperately need the four points.
Tip: Richmond by 7 points.

Agree .. must win tonight
-
Ive had a weired ferling this week. Its like I want us to win because I always want us to win but theres a part of me saying I hope freo flogs us so that hardwick can finally move on to the nect generation.

And 7.50 games are the pits too.

Collingwood was able to negotiate a deal with the MCG that is exclusive to all other co-tenants :rollin

THE FOUR CERTAINTIES FOR RICHMOND VERSUS FREMANTLE
Andrew Slevison & Hugh Fitzpatrick
SEN
22 July 2022
Labelling something a ‘certainty’ in any sport is fraught with danger.
But we’ll attempt to find some anyway.
Here is what we consider certainties for Friday night’s clash between Richmond and Fremantle:
Cotchin to have 20+ disposals and 3+ clearances
Trent Cotchin has been a fairly consistent performer for Richmond this season.
Over 13 matches in 2022, the former Tigers captain has averaged 21.9 disposals and 5.1 clearances.
Upon his return from a collarbone injury last weekend, he picked up 24 touches and had five clearances in the loss to North Melbourne.
Against a quality Fremantle on-ball unit, expect Cotchin to be in the thick of the action and giving his all for his team once again.
We’re with him to pick up at least 20 disposals and have three or more clearances.
Cumberland to kick at least one goal
Noah Cumberland has had 12 scoring shots in just two games at AFL level.
The talented forward kicked 3.4 against the Roos last weekend, after 2.3 in his first appearance against the Suns in Round 17.
Having averaged six shots at goal across two outings, expect him to hit the scoreboard once again.
Cumberland should kick at least one goal against the Dockers on Friday night.
Taberner to kick two or more goals
Fremantle forward Matt Taberner has been solid throughout 2022, averaging two goals per game.
Set to line up on veteran tiger Robbie Tarrant, Taberner’s flexibility should prove tough to handle, especially on the fast Marvel expanses.
Taberner’s recent record over the Tigers is strong. The 29-year-old kicked three goals in a low-scoring affair last year and in a huge Friday night clash, he’ll be looking to take charge.
With no Rory Lobb, expect the Dockers to target Taberner frequently.
Serong to have 20 or more disposals
Caleb Serong is an absolute jet and has been so consistent this year.
Entering his third season, Serong has already shown that he belongs at the elite level and with his good mate Andy Brayshaw in great form, Serong should run free at his own will.
Serong is averaging 25.4 disposals in 2022 and against a side that generally doesn’t send anyone to a midfielder, we’re expecting the young bull to have 20 or more disposals.

-
Going to be a late turn up if there is a crowd.. Trains in the SE all delayed by up to 30 mins :P.
As for the game, just got a feeling it won't be another narrow loss tonight (touchwood). I think if we turn up to play and match them in the guts we'll win by 3-4 goals. If we don't, we'll get done by 8 goals with the game over by half time similar to the GWS round 22 game last year. Tonight is a measure of how much we still want and believe in this season.
-
This is gonna be an absolute ass whoopin'.
Smile if you like it, smile if you don't. It's happening.
-
What’s with our starting set up, 3 talls including Nankervis in the forward line.
-
Bad start, 3 entries 2 easy goals. Our mids don’t chase or apply the defensive pressure in years gone by.
-
Jack misses the easy snap. 0-2 for Jack
-
Our poor tackling is really on show tonight. Every time we get tackled we are wrapped up comprehensively.
Broad off with a knee issue
-
Modern 'footy' (netball-football) sucks so much. Just a bunch of guys marking ground and happy handballs all the way to goal.
Give everyone 12 interchanges a match and no sub and see how much they run up and down on the spot looking pretty.
-
Should have been away again from the centre bounce and we fumble several times and they waltz inside 50 and kick their 3rd
-
Gee this Cumberland is a gun.
Really competes like he wants to keep his spot
-
Nice having a small forward who kicks goals!
-
Should be further ahead.
Pressure looks good. Seems the boys are keen to atone for two weeks of dog poo.
Dockers can't take the heat at the moment.
-
Decent last 10 mins in general play. Started to attack the ball and not be reactive. Got us back in the game. Still missed a couple of gettable goals. If only if grandpa Ivan could bend over to pick up the ball :P.
-
Forward line looks impotent without Castagna and Aarts. Need some unpredictability--like the level of unpredictability where even OUR players don't know what they're thinking.
-
Soldo is such a spud, can’t kick, mark, handball, tackle, or pick up the ball….
-
Soldo is such a spud, can’t kick, mark, handball, tackle, or pick up the ball….
Hey hey easy buddy!
Castagna, a triple premiership player, is half the player Soldo is!
Aarts is the other half.
-
We can’t play Nankervis or Soldo in the forward line. Utterly uncompetitive and haven’t bought the ball to ground yet. Continually out marked.
-
Grimes spills the uncontested mark and Freo dribble one through.
-
Felt like we were all over them that quarter but didn’t hurt them on the scoreboard.
-
Soldo is such a spud, can’t kick, mark, handball, tackle, or pick up the ball….

:lol :rollin
-
It's bloody hard watching Shedda.
Been a champion but right now they are playing through him because he's going that bad
-
Should be further ahead. Hope we don't lose it like last week.
There's times where I think Balta is really a bit short on skill but has an absolute surplus of athleticism.
Soldo normally nails those.
Jack off the boil again should have 2-3 at least.
-
Graham playing?
-
Defence holding up. Im following Miller, Sonsie and Cumberland most all 3 are contributing well.
-
Good first half … now it really begins …. :pray
-
is Short playing?
Does anyone want to stand up?
To think some of these players are premiership players? It’s like they have lost their way and hunger.
What’s wrong with them?
-
Graham playing?
We have a few spectators playing. Could be in a better position if they decide to start getting more involved.
Graham, Nankervis, Edwards all non existent.
Another reason we shouldn’t be playing home games here. I have to put up with a claustrophobic roof and bloody country and western music playing at half time :help :banghead :banghead :banghead
-
Soldo is such a spud, can’t kick, mark, handball, tackle, or pick up the ball….
Really? He took a mark. Missed the goal but normally quite good from that range. Nailed Clarke in a good tackle. Nank has 1 hitout to half time so Soldo is 100% required against a guy like Darcy.
-
is Short playing?

What’s wrong with them?
Short is leading our tackles along with McIntosh and Cumberland with 4
-
Bad signs from Grimes the last 4 weeks. Hes another one whose not the same player. Edwards and Jack are done.
-
Cumberland deserves his spot
Very impressive
-
Graham playing?
bloody country and western music playing at half time :help :banghead :banghead :banghead
That is the dictionary definition of adding insult to injury. Putrid.
-
We're still having Richmondy moments but at least we're in front. Shots from Miller, Soldo and Balta not good enough. Grimes - not sure what's wrong. Needs to get his head in the game and have a big second half.

Busy running his own winery-restaurant, isn't he. Couldn't wait until retirement to start a business that some SME owner-operators put 80 hours a week into.
-
Balta you're an idiot.
Got punch yourself seriously.
-
We have turned to spud. Confidence shot.
How did we fall this far? We still have mindfulness experts and psychologists on the payroll?
Fire them and hire a frickin' goalkicking coach.
-
The umpires have no feeling for the game. They have no idea when they're getting played. Just atrocious. Should be ex-players only.
-
Love Robbie Tarrant. Ever since he stood up and put his body on the line against Geelong he's become a Richmond player and he looks a million bucks. Pity every one else is poo.
-
OMFG UMPIRES YOU stuffing MORONS STAY HOME NEXT TIME AND LET THE MEN SORT IT OUT YOU WONKERS!!!
-
Oh and now the hip and shoulder is dead!!
Give me back my sport wonkers!!
-
Paid for high, ridiculous decision.
-
Balta you're an idiot.
Got punch yourself seriously.
Momentum killer :banghead
-
Playing Nank forward is not working. Sub him for MRJ
-
Well lets see if they learnt anything from all the close losses.
-
This Richmondy stuff is doing my head in. It is worst watching it live if that's possible.
Hurry back soon Lynch. Soldo is doing ok in the ruck but he is totally clueless as a forward target :help.
-
Around this time and this score in the Port prelim in 2020 I prayed for the win. I would have sold the world that day if I could have. Tonight I pay the debt. I'm gonna watch some random Freo player kick two last quarter goals a la Andrew Collins and then go to bed. It was worth it. We won the prem.
-
How many of our players have run too far under the ball when trying to mark. It’s happening at both ends.
-
We’re off the boil in the last quarter. Can’t win contests and the run has stopped.
-
Im upset with balta. He hasnt competed at chf. Been ordinary.
-
This is over. The odd player has what it takes (Tarrant, Pickett--possibly someone else). Everyone else is out of gas and out of gumption.
-
Jack :banghead
-
Im upset with balta. He hasnt competed at chf. Been ordinary.
Been useless. Absolute bath from Pearce
-
Sheesh, we needed that!
-
Cotch is so frickin clever. Should still be captain. Would be if it weren't for little Dimma.
-
MRJ already done better than Aarts last week.
-
Gee that's a disgusting goal to concede given the numbers we had back.
I blame Graham for stuffing it up so bad on the wing
-
How can it possibly be 3 Freo defenders to 0 20m our directly in front after 10 seconds between mark and kick?
-
Terrible option by Jack, needed to ouch a shorter option.
-
MRJ :)
-
5 frees to 2 in favour of Freo this quarter.
-
Balta literally just lost us the game fmd Castagna mk2
-
OK I'm done.
If we keep playing Balta in the forward line we are going to ruin him as a defender as well because his confidence must be shot now.
-
stuffing hopeless
-
Comical :help
-
:facepalm
-
Honestly Balta go f yourself you stuffwit.
About two blokes in history have been that stupid and you're one of them.
-
What in heavens name is going on
-
Fair play to Noah Balta for fronting up for the post-game interview. He looked devastated. That matters to me.
-
Honestly Balta go f yourself you stuffwit.
About two blokes in history have been that stupid and you're one of them.
Was fully concentrating and i don’t believe it was 30 seconds
-
I was gonna say it was the fastest 30 seconds ever. But also Cumberland and the play on?
-
If he didn’t hear the ump he didn’t hear him. Not like he did it deliberately. We blew way to many chances earlier in the game.
-
Do what I do, I've stopped watching them. Glad I didn't watch by the sounds of it.
-
Honestly Balta go f yourself you stuffwit.

It was 30 based on me watching the clock on the TV.
Also check the screen most players do
-
Some script weekly lol Dimma needs to be asked the questions why has this not been rectified utter garbage mentally weake how many of leaders standed up that last quarter.
-
But why was Balta called to play on? He was moving in to kick ...
To call play on with the crowd roaring like that gave Balta no hope of hearing the call. So when is a set shot a set shot? :-\
-
It was 30 seconds to the millisecond. The umpire timed it perfectly. He even gave him one last warning after 27 seconds by blowing his whistle.
-
But why was Balta called to play on? He was moving in to kick ...

I didn't see him moving.
No excuse. Check the screen and walk at 2-3 seconds
-
We make the winnable loose able terrible no confidence at all.
-
Cotch is so frickin clever. Should still be captain. Would be if it weren't for little Dimma.
This

34 they're saying on TV. I maintain no excuse, check the screen they all do it and just start your walk in with 2-3 seconds left.
Amateur...
-
It was 30 on the dot. Whistle blown for the marl at 2:00. Play on called at 1:30.

💯 Balta should be ashamed of himself
-
We have a team of the dumbest footballers ever. Honestly. That 30 second issue nearly happened 3 times prior to Balta. These players need to understand that they play for Richmond. Don't give the Umpires a chance to feck us...
-
Maurice coming on was correct but taking miller off was the wrong call. One of the rucks should of come off.
-
What's Dimma gunna spin us this week.
-
What's Dimma gunna spin us this week.
About 2 minutes and 45 seconds I reckon.
-
Did Short play in the second half?
-
Now, correct me if I'm wrong - but the 30 sec shot clock was to make players start their run up to kick within 30 secs of taking a mark. Once you begin your approach you are only seconds away from kicking the ball anyway. As far as I know it was never having 30 secs to take a kick, it was always 30 secs to start your approach ...
Check Ben Brown for the longest approach ever in the history of the game & he never cops a play on call!
-
The ladder says a drawer is flattering. I feel like id rather lose
-
Jack should retire for me past it.
-
Should be 12-6 and pushing top 4
-
We've lost it. Whatever that is, it's gone.
2 points, we all know the script from here.
Miss the 8 by 2 points
-
Said it last week, we've become the joke of the comp and opposition supporters again. Hate it.
-
Cotch is so frickin clever. Should still be captain. Would be if it weren't for little Dimma.
This
What?
Cotchin chose to give up the captaincy
Source? T Cotchin himself

Correct
They jave 30 seconds to apart their approach
Once the start the clock doesn't come into it
-
Yet again we shoot ourselves in the foot in the 1st quarter
3.5 wasn't it? Should have been 5.3. The Riewoldt misses killed us again
-
It’s the bloody stadium! :banghead
Being there is like being in an episode of the twilight zone. :help
You walk in and the gate staff have sinister looks in their eyes, cartoons playing constantly on the screens.
The fist seat I sat in the bloke next to me said “you wanna see something real scary?”
I said “no thank you” and sat somewhere else.
Missed half the game because I was constantly distracted by what I’m positive was a gremlin living in the roof. :help
I swear, the ground is nothing but a nightmare to attend from start to finish.
It’s like footy’s Bermuda Triangle premiership players skill go mysteriously missing, roof feels like it’s going to fall at any moment, people wearing masks, weird music playing over the speakers etc. etc.
-
Well I’m glad I wasn’t home and couldn’t watch the game. Sounds like we threw away another 4 points again :banghead

Extra stats from Fox Footy post-game:
We scored just 7 points off our 40 second half turnovers :P.
In the first half, we were transitioning from D50 to F50 55% of the time. That dropped to 5% in the second half :P.
In the last quarter, Freo's mids dominated - Clearances: 4 - 15 , Inside 50s: 9 - 16. So they missed a number of chances as well.

Well I’m glad I wasn’t home and couldn’t watch the game. Sounds like we threw away another 4 points again :banghead
Yep we found another way not to win
Anyway....
The morning after the night before and I'm still fuming and yet again embarrassed
-
Im looking forward to Banks and Brown coming in, Clarke, Gibcus and Sonsie getting more games, Ralphsmith has potential, Cumberland developing as a 3rd tall, Maurice Jnr imho will be electrifying the mob in the next 2 or 3 years, Miller developing, Bolton and Balta still early 20s and hopefully we can get another 2 or 3 kids in the draft ... its not all doom and gloom guys.

Another week down and it's still Richmond killing Richmond

Just a bit of perspective here. Just imagine what the fremantle supporters are thinking. Yep they are thinking one that got away as well.
Okay we generated the last two chances of the game and fluffed em but Fremantle won that quarter imo in most areas.

I understand everyone being down or angry or embarrassed but its the weekend, go for a drive, go to a nice restaurant or go out with your partners or mates, enjoy the weekend. Dont let footy get you down. I used to get upset used to ruin my weekends.Now im comfortable with it all because if you put everything into perspective in life youll understand its just a game of footy. Theres always next week. Noah Balta has his petspective correct. Hes been attacked on forums by people who have no idea and who think that footy is life and death.

Slaughtered us for the first 15min of it and failed to win that's true

But it's raining Ramps who wants to go out? ;D

GC: Embarrassed
North: Angry
Freo: Flat
The Freo loss has compounding feelings but in isolation we played a much better game then the last 2 weeks where we literally disappeared in a half of footy. Bit similar to Eagles game where we were a bit lucky in a way they missed some gettable chances as its pretty easy to score against us, but we held up well.
If we won the previous 2 weeks it is a completely different perspective. Abusing players over social media is just weak as pee.

Not only that but should also remember they delivered 3 flags in the last 5 years. It couldn’t last forever and if we drop away now which it certainly looks like then what a ride it’s been. I just hope we can get back to the top a hell of a lot quicker than last time.

Should have won by 8 points according to expected scores.

Yep- and I believe the future looks bright as we certainly have talent in the VFL team who should blossom in the next few years. Trade in Hopper and maybe another, think we are in ok shape.

While I'm still very bullish about our future and agree that we have talent coming through it's still hard not to be frustrated, embarrassed and angry.
We have the talent now and to see us lose the games we have and on Friday night find another way not win is a hard pill to swallow
Facts are with the draw we got this season we should be in the top 4. It is bad enough we aren't but to be staring down the barrel of missing finals all together, not because we don't have the cattle but because the cattle seem too be too busy grazing thinking things will just happen is the most frustrating thing
That and seeing kids in the VFL playing well week after week and not getting a look in while others who let us down or shown they're not up to it at this time keep getting games

While we blew a couple of chances in the last quarter :facepalm, we were also lucky to get away with a draw given we were again smashed in the guts late in a game. It was 4-15 in clearances and 9-16 inside 50s :help. So yes Dimma and the match committee have to take a good hard look at themselves for continually and ridiculously expecting Prestia and Cotch to generate clearances over 4 quarters without tiring. I don't even remember Baker going into the middle the past two weeks despite his heroics in turning the game against Geelong. We need more contested ballwinning mids in the side to bat deeper and go the distance in terms of contested footy. It's time to add RCD in there. No guarantees as he can be very inconsistent but when he plays well he wins the contested ball as we saw yesterday in the VFL. At least put him in the guts to try and give Prestia and Cotch a chop out.

I also wonder why pickett isnt tried more? 0 cba
Short had 6
Would rather baker and pickett in there than short

This baffles me no end. Baker not playing in middle what on earth is going on

When was it that we seemed to play to the oppositions standard? Feels like that again..

Report Card: Round 19

25 July 2022
RICHMOND
The Tigers-Dockers clash was an ugly game to watch at times and finished with a draw — perhaps a fitting result given how both sides spluttered with their form throughout the game. There’s a lot of room for improvement and perhaps there’s some solace for the Tigers in that they at least got two points, as opposed to the last couple of weeks where they’ve been edged in tight ones.
In the votes
Dion Prestia has been really good when he’s been out on the park and Friday night was no exception, while Nick Vlastuin continues to thrive down back. Noah Balta once again showed glimpses of what he’s capable of, but didn’t put it all together. Kamdyn McIntosh was solid.
Room for improvement
Yet again, the Tigers simply couldn’t capitalise on the scoreboard when they had the ascendancy. Fremantle was far closer at half-time than it had any right to be due to Richmond’s inefficiency. It’s just bizarre to see a side so good in recent years at closing out games all of a sudden seemingly forget how to do so in 2022. They’re doing just enough to keep their finals hopes in check, but there’s a lot to work on.

One thing we can agree on is Young.
Damn what a player he slaughtered us all day and I was bloody impressed.
