AFL Round 20
RICHMOND vs Brisbane
Sunday, 31st July @ the M.C.G.
Start time: 3.20 pm
https://www.afl.com.au/afl/matches/3971
-
The LIONS will be without veteran Daniel Rich for their Round 20 clash with Richmond.
Rich copped an accidental knee to his head as he tried to gather a loose ball.
The incident happened late in the win over the Gold Coast Suns.
Rich was clearly groggy as he attempted to sit up.
He will miss at least the next 12 days under the AFL’s concussion protocols.

If we don't get up big time for Sugar & Lambo we got a problem but think we will.

Brisbane has lost its past 10 matches at the M.C.G. It's last win was in 2014.

Most top level seats are usually GA.
But both the Southern and Ponsford usually have some GA seating on level 1 but it's not normally announced until Friday arvo
Doubt there will be a huge crowd. For level 1, I'd suggest getting there no later than 2.15pm (hour before)

All the footy shows last night were winding up Brisbane to win at the 'G or kiss their flag chances goodbye.
"They [Brisbane] don't win this game, they can't win the premiership."
Matthew Lloyd puts the heat on the Lions ahead of their clash with the Tigers.
Lloyd and Ross Lyon's match preview: https://twitter.com/FootyonNine/status/1552270097846239233
Both sides are top 3 for scores for but mediocre in terms of scores against:
Rich Bris
Avg Pts For 93 #3 100 #1
Avg Pts Against 82 #10 79 #8
They also said that we are too dependent on Prestia and Cotch in the midfield as illustrated by our mids' disposal stats and how badly it falls away.
Tiger Mids Disposals
Prestia 30
Cotchin 23
Edwards 15
Short 15
Graham 11
Lyon said Brisbane should win based on the stats but he tipped us at the 'G given Brisbane's record there.
Lloyd is tipping the Lions.

Richmond v Brisbane Preview
Nic Negrepontis
SEN
28 July 2022
Richmond and Brisbane meet in an intriguing game difficult to marry up form wise.
The Tigers are desperate for four points after blowing a 40-point lead to Gold Coast, kicking themselves out of the North Melbourne game and somehow emerging with a draw against Fremantle, despite multiple chances to kick the winning point.
This sees them outside the top eight and looking likely to stay there, unless they can win their last four games.
That starts against Brisbane here, a Lions team that has emerged from a COVID headache and now has started to put some form together.
They were neck and neck with Gold Coast for most of last weekend, but pushed away in the last quarter to record an impressive win.
These two sides know each other inside out. They have met in two Qualifying Finals since 2019. Due to COVID circumstances, their last five encounters have been in Queensland.
This one takes place at the MCG however, which you think would give Richmond an edge.
On form, you’d have to tip the Lions. The Tigers are missing too many key players and would have to be feeling the pinch after an incredibly tough three weeks.
However, at the MCG, with everything on the line, these are the kinds of games Richmond at their best can absolutely pull off.
Tip: Richmond by 8 points.

Brisbane focused on the Tigers, not losing streak, ahead of blockbuster clash
Chris Fagan's Brisbane Lions are "embracing the fact" they haven't won at the MCG since 2014, but aren't letting it consume their focus ahead of a Friday night clash against the Richmond Tigers.
"I understand it's about setting up the story, so the story on Monday if the Lions win will be 'you can win the flag because you won at the MCG' and if we lose 'you can't win the flag because you can't win at the MCG'," Fagan said.
Yet, the always stuff Fagan was careful not to overplay the impact of the ground.
"The truth is, we're not playing the MCG, we're playing Richmond," he reflected.
Sitting seven places below the third-placed Lions and fresh off two losses and a debilitating draw, the Tigers' quest to return to the Finals is faltering.
This offered scant comfort for Fagan however, as he strives to breach the final frontier of a grand final. Having led his team to two semi-finals and one preliminary in the last three years, he was very aware of the threat Richmond posed.
"Not so long before they had this run of losses, everyone was saying 'they're the team to beat'" Fagan recounted.
"And that's the team we expect to play at the weekend. They're desperate to make finals, we're desperate to try and finish top-four, there's a lot at stake."

THE CERTAINTIES FOR ROUND 20
Seb Mottram
SEN
30 July 2022
Richmond v Brisbane
Edwards to kick a goal
Few players have risen to the occasion like Shane Edwards.
The 33-year-old is playing his 300th game against Brisbane and will look to live up to his standards of his last 16 years at the top level.
He’s gone goalless in his last two games but had hit the scoreboard in six of the previous seven games. Given the role he plays, you can bet his teammates will be looking to get him the footy and celebrate the big moment.
Go on Shedda, get it done!
Brisbane to kick 80+ points
Their woes at the MCG have been well noted, but the Lions should kick at least 80 points against Richmond on recent form.
Chris Fagan boasts the league’s best offence, with his side finding more avenues to goal than most throughout 2022.
Brisbane have lost their last 10 at the ‘G and were wiped out by the Demons at this ground in Round 15. As is usually the case, it’s likely not all to do with the ground, yet it does cause some concerns.
However, they won’t get a better chance to put their hoodoo behind them. Richmond have allowed other teams to score quickly in 2022, as Fagan will know.
If Brisbane are genuine contenders, they’ll be able to kick at least 12 goals and get past 80 points on Sunday.

Lol we’ve been saying this for 6 weeks or something now. I’ve stopped getting excited when results go our way because we’ve never once taken advantage of it. Anyway let’s hope tomorrow is different.

It's astonishing how many chances we're getting. Lots of reasons to come out fired up but I'll believe it when I see it now.
-
Well obviously we needed saints to lose !
I don’t think we deserve to make finals but we may stumble in there and perhaps even make a decent run if we can get healthy and have a good crack. But definitely don’t deserve it and I don’t think it will do anything to help our future. It’s all about playing the kids and bringing in talent now for mine

Who's on 18. Coleman, no defensive accountability.

why don’t they man up in the middle?

Put Balta on Daniher FFS or anywhere in the backline.

Yep. As soon as top4 was gone the effort and intensity fell away West Coast game last year end Geelong game this year.
-
Tarrant has been disgraceful today.
-
Balta not being on Daniher is another stinker by match committee.
So he's now a rotating forward into the ruck. What a mess for development. Put him back and either drop Miller or Tarrant. This guy's is the key to our backline for next 10 years.
-

If we had won the suns, kangas and dockers games like we should have we would be well on track for top4 so don’t think that’s it. I think we just have to accept that we’re probably just not good enough anymore which after 3 flags is perfectly understandable.
-
Ross with no pressure overuns the ball. But he is our future. :rollin
-
When we lost the ability to stick a.tackle our decline was inevitable.
Without our one wood we are pretty ordinary and that has been true since 2017.

I mean that’s exactly it, we aren’t good enough to win the close games anymore and we can’t just put away wins against lesser teams. So we’re pretty bad. There is a new group being developed at Richmond and I just want to see the culture of chasing and tackling and manic pressure continue… because that isn’t determined by talent. Not seeing that for the most part of this year
-
Cotch kicks to Graham against two taller opponents, midget McCarthy marks over the top of Short one out. :help
-
Some defensive praises by Short even though he had front position. Was easily disposed of by a smaller player
-
Short and vlastuin have been simply disgraceful… selection committee need to send a message
-
Miller, Sonsie, Cumberland some of our better players IMO.
Shows you why guys like Edwards shouldn't be out there tonight and we have wasted opportunities by not playing kids more this year.
Team looks very disinterested.
-
I will go to my grave that we should cash in on Shai Bolton value.
We are miles away and Bolton will only have a short window of his XFactor. Give Freo and ask for 2 first rounders.

Oh dear, Short is not having a great day.

Im also of the view that we are 5 years away so trade bolton to WCE fir two first rounders.
-
I also think Dimmas time has arrived!
-
You guys talking about trading Bolton like he is in his late 20s.
Exactly what is the purpose of trading one of the genuine gun young players we have? Even if we get 2 first rounders, what is the actual likelihood we get a player as good as Bolton with one of those picks. Why stop at Bolton, let’s trade baker and balta while we’re at it.
-
Is balta as thick as they come

He told us last week he doesn’t really care about his silly mistakes. :rollin

We have fallen off a cliff in terms of our list. We arent winning a flag anytime soon imho. It should be draft, draft, draft, for the next couple of years with a new coach at the helm.
-
Love ya Jack but your finished mate. Should have been dragged for that 50.
-
Our defence is uncompetitive. It’s not just the total scores we give up but the frequency at which we concede per inside 50 doesn’t set the foundation to win many games. Easily the worst performing of the 3 lines we have and yet some want to take every chance they can get to throw teague under the bus.
-
Our defence is in strife. Grimes looks old and Vlastuin seems disinterested. Tarrant is 34yo. Weve got massive issues in defence.

That’s all well and good but again how does trading Bolton help us in the short or long term. You would have to hit on both of the first round picks that we can supposedly get to win that trade which is by no means a given. I get when teams trade players in their late 20s to fast track a rebuild because it isn’t likely they’ll be around when the team comes good again. Shai is 23/24, even if we go on a full on 5 year rebuild, he’ll still be in his prime at the end of it.

To think the significance of the day for an absolute champion of our Club and we dish up this tripe

I don't think Bolton is the type of player that will play 250+ games. I don't think he gets much better and his currency is at the highest it can get yet I can see him falling away and being non AFL standard before 30. I think the difference from his best and worst is far too big. I think he is the type of player that is cream on top and the momentvwr have no foundation.
Give me a pick in top 8 and pick in top 20 for him and we combine that to have another tilt in a few years.
He's an enormous talent Shai but he's value is wasted on us now. Where as equivalent value in draft picks can benefit us when we are competitive.
-
Love ya Jack but your finished mate. Should have been dragged for that 50.
What 50 against Jack?
50 near our goal square was against Balta
-
Half the team are just passengers. Nankervis shocking again.... No leadership they need to change the captains asap.
-
Says a lot that Sonsie and Cumberland have been our two most affective players. Cubs showing up more experienced Tigers.
We've reverted to a bottom 4 side. Smashed in the contested footy (hello team selection ::) ) and getting burnt by our poor skills and decision making.
-

Fair enough then, thought it was him. Still a stupid obvious throw by Jack.

Wish this wasn't my first post - hello all.
I'm just very glad that we have young Beaker (OK, Noah C. ;)), and I've been waiting to see Sonsie and so far he's held his own. Trying to look at posititives...
Seriously, why have we become so sloppy of late?

Our defence is under siege because our midfield and forward line don't do there job ball is coming in so easy Blind Freddy can see that.

Well it's been a good 12-15 months really
Welcome to OER. And yes you're right Sonsie and Cumberland are highlights. Need to play every game possible.
-
I’m not as critical of the list. It’s attitude.
We were the best team in terms of pressure and tackling getting into the heads of the opposition by the second quarter.
We’ve never had a super talented team. Look at our premiership stars ie. Castagna, Caddy, Townsend, Ellis, McIntosh etc. some players better than others and solid contributors in a well oiled machine of pressure and forward movement and a defence that was stable and consistent.
First of all we have let the defence be a fluid concept instead of making it an absolute consistent solution.
Secondly we have become the worst tackling team in league and our pressure has suffered.
We haven’t recovered from the stand rule either.
I may be wrong but It seems our youngsters aren’t being taught the pressure that made us successful.
Thirdly, our aging stars are playing like they are old. It was bound to happen but we would’ve thought we might have got some players in to replace them. We have still have some good players like Bolton Baker Gibcus so our recruiting is ok.
Development has been the big issue for me. We haven’t invested in the future and it has shown in the development of players. Covid-19 hasn’t helped either. But we have used the soft cap as an excuse despite other clubs proving that is not a good excuse in reality.

He's an enormous talent Shai but he's value is wasted on us now. Where as equivalent value in draft picks can benefit us when we are competitive.
But your thought about him not getting to 250 games and being non-AFL standard before 30 isn’t actually based on any evidence and neither is him not getting any better. Since he broke into the side he’s barely missed a game and he has shown improvement every season, likely to be rewarded with his first all Australian blazer this season.
Then we go with the picks again. Let’s take out the best case of drafting 2 absolute guns and the worst case of drafting 2 absolute duds. are you sure we can get a player with one of those 2 picks who are better than Bolton? maybe we can get one of equal quality but it will take them 3-4 years to truly hit their stride and what happens to our team in the mean time?
While I personally wouldn’t do it, I can atleast see the logic of trading dusty. 30+, best days behind him, injury prone the last couple of seasons and clears significant salary cap space. None of those are the case with Bolton.

I’d agree somewhat with our midfield isn’t making it easy on our defenders but can you honestly tell me that our midfield is to blame for the 1v1 contests we constantly lose, the enormous amounts of space that the defenders give their direct opponent and the frequency which we concede per entry which I’m sure is one of the worst in the league.

Cumberland!
Tell you what it's nice when a bloke finds the sticks, selfish or not.
Yet we we're giving games to George and Aarts and he was tearing it up all because of this lack of pressure bs.

Well, you never know. It's only five goals. If they could just find one on this foray forward and maybe just squeeze another, you just never know.
Big second half needed. Scoreboard pressure.

Oh look, Balta playing better when in defence. Who would’ve known. :rollin

GRIMES???

Why would Lynch a highly paid goal kicker pass it of to Cotchin who never kicks goals. I am speechless

Playing for our season in the last quarter. 11 points down.
-
Amazing what workmate and teamwork does.
-
I’m not as critical of the list. It’s attitude.
We were the best team in terms of pressure and tackling getting into the heads of the opposition by the second quarter.
We’ve never had a super talented team. Look at our premiership stars ie. Castagna, Caddy, Townsend, Ellis, McIntosh etc. some players better than others and solid contributors in a well oiled machine of pressure and forward movement and a defence that was stable and consistent.
First of all we have let the defence be a fluid concept instead of making it an absolute consistent solution.
Secondly we have become the worst tackling team in league and our pressure has suffered.
We haven’t recovered from the stand rule either.
I may be wrong but It seems our youngsters aren’t being taught the pressure that made us successful.
Thirdly, our aging stars are playing like they are old. It was bound to happen but we would’ve thought we might have got some players in to replace them. We have still have some good players like Bolton Baker Gibcus so our recruiting is ok.
Development has been the big issue for me. We haven’t invested in the future and it has shown in the development of players. Covid-19 hasn’t helped either. But we have used the soft cap as an excuse despite other clubs proving that is not a good excuse in reality.
STFU and watch the game mate. Or play golf.

Lol got a chuckle out of that goal from jack

Millers done good as a ruck

I’m calling a draw.

Edwards…. WTF are you thinking handvalling to no one 5 meters out.
-
Game over…. You bloody beauty!
-
How good is footy?
-
We won a close game…..I repeat we won a close game :bow :bow :bow
-
Anxiety !!!!!, a very good win and hope for the future

Hopefully not to late in the season. Imagine if we had of won half of our close ones. Great win especially for Shane.
-
@#$% me we won!
What a comeback from 7 goals down :gobdrop :gotigers
-
We're back in business!
-
Great win. Enjoyable win but we have some big holes in our team, the midfield and our defence.
A big change for me happened when Grimes did his hammy and MRJ came on. A slow player went out, a quick player came in. The tempo changed. We need to get quicker players in. Sonsie and Cumberland showed also that kids are the way to go and we need to ho draft another group of 3 or 4 to compliment the ones we have.
Shedda should retire after today. Hes done, he got to 300, a big comeback win to end a great career and bring in a kid like Brown or Banks.
-
Well it was fun melting down with the rest of you. I’ll see you all back here next week :lol
-
Now we just need to sneak into the 8 and watch Carlton slip to finish 9th. :shh
-
MRJ is a must play.
-
Now that I've composed myself, YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
Beaker could have been a mess after that play on at siren-time last week, instead he comes out, kicks five goals and pulls off that spoil for the sealer. Already becoming one of my favourites. :)
Thanks Andyy for the welcome, too.

I can't wipe the smile off my face. :rollin
What a win! Very proud of the team tonight. That took GUTS.

Beaker?
With his tuft of hair and his expression he reminds me of the Muppet. But fondly.

Yep bang on. Our pace has dropped away naturally therefore our pressure has dropped off. Need pace desperately.
MRJ is must play.
Balta must play in defence. His closing speed is better than anything we have an it's so needed.
-
What a great win. Sat next to the biggest Muppet of a Lions supporter. So good.
-
Id go so far as to say that Grimesys hammy won us the game. Maurice wouldnt have come on, things would have petered out.
-
I just want to say I never doubted. :rollin
-
Great comeback win but it is painting over the cracks
-
MRJ is a must play.
You think?
-
I think hes terrific to come on after half time when the others are running out of legs. He doesnt impact enough throughout the game when he starts. Just my view.
-
Great comeback win
1st half was deplorable
But the Cubs kept us in it
Would be great to know where the 2nd half intensity, attack on the contest and ball was in the 1st half

Needs to build his Sherman ... I mean Tiger.

And against N0rt, Suns, Swans, Freo, Saints
-
My goodness that was wonderful
Got my 8yo to come along (love arvo games, stuff 7:50's).
So good to beat Briswhinge I hate them so much. Never seen a more egotistical group of also-rans.
Lynch was massive. Cumberland. Rioli. Bolton. Cotch.
-
Biggest comeback win of the year - 42 pts
-
Sheesh what a great fight back but we should never have been in the position where we had to fight back from such a large margin.
We lose this game and everyone is talking about just how poor some players were especially early and sheesh they were. but we have won and not a lot will be said papering over the cracks. Could name at least 9 players who i thought were poor but won't. Instead a bit of praise for a few
Thought Prestia was huge along with Bolton and Nankervis. Lynchy blew the cobwebs out in the first half and showed just why he gets paid the big bucks.And Cotch for an old man gave his all.
Cumberland took every opportunity and applied good pressure. Mrj was good when on and gave us some needed zip and pressure.
And kudos to those players who lifted after shocking first half's
The big defenders thought back well after a poor first quarter and i question the match ups but sheesh how did we let Coleman run loose like that for so long.
Only negative comment is i thought our coaching was poor in the first half in particular.
-
A great comeback. Took out some of the sting from the parking ticket I got

While Brisbane's game fell away, Richmond's possession game returned to them with aplomb. In the second half, Richmond scored 7.3 (45) from intercept possessions, after only managing 10 points from the same source in the first half. This was 32 points more than Brisbane in a half of football - 17 points higher than Richmond's 2022 full-game average.
Searching for their first win since Round 21, 2014 at the MCG, Brisbane gave up a 42-point lead and were overrun by the Tigers. This came about as Brisbane's ball movement was stifled by Richmond. In the first half, Brisbane turned 34 defensive chains into 16 forward 50 entries and 6.3 (39); in the second half, 30 defensive chains only yielded seven entries and three behinds.

Gez that first quarter and start of second quarter was horrible I reckon we gifted them atleast 6 goals silly mistakes all round , but Jayden Short was killing us.

Graham Edwards Ross and Pickett - we're not getting enough output from those 4 players.

Very surprised Rioli didn't get a vote. Shut Cameron out of the game completely and his run and carry in the 2nd half was very important.
HTF did Lachie Neale get a vote? Did he marry Fagan's daughter or something?

Round 20 Report Card
Ben Cotton, Ben Waterworth, David Zita and Catherine Healey
Foxsports
1 August 2022
RICHMOND
Their season looked done 42 points down against the Lions, but the Tigers finally woke up and cranked up the pressure dial, putting in a second half that was as overwhelming as the first half was underwhelming. This keeps the Tigers well and truly alive in the finals race, but more importantly could be the kick-starter for their belief they can compete with and beat the best sides in the competition.
In the votes
Shai Bolton kicked two goals but had chances at so many more and could’ve finished with at least a handful. Trent Cotchin willed himself into the game, while Tom Lynch kicked four goals and was a force to be reckoned with in the air. Perhaps most impressive was Noah Cumberland, who booted five goals after such a difficult finish last week. Toby Nankervis dominated from a clearance standpoint compared to his direct opponent.
Room for improvement
Going 42 points down against any opponent isn’t ideal and the Lions were scoring at will. Admittedly their accuracy helped make things seem worse than they perhaps were, but it still wasn’t a four-quarter performance from the Tigers. Losing Dylan Grimes to a hamstring injury will sting, so the side will have to lift to fill the void. They fell short in the contested possession count even though they made inroads after half-time.
