Go

Supporting this club is a large part of my life so yes have to go. WP having this site I’d imagine RFC is a large part of your life too so yep go
-
Season is shot - stay home and have a snooze on the couch instead. Dimma and the coaches will probably be doing the same

It certainly is Gig but just still so angry and disappointed nearly 24 hours after the nightmare that was yesterday's game
Will go but just not that invested today
-
The real disappointment for me yesterday was what they served up on this large and important stage. Complete contrast to last week .Although in front for most of the night I felt that Essendon were the better team with more system and intent in their play, and it was only a matter of time before they hit the front .

Yes.
x2. Could see it coming. We just weren’t on from the start.
You could clearly see what the drug cheats were doing and we didn’t do anything to stop it.

As soon as they kicked that point I knew we were stuffed

Haha Gracie I thought exactly the same
-
A little piece of me died on Saturday night . It’s one close loss too many . I no longer care who plays .
We are bailing water out of a sinking boat .

If I was Kenny all I would tell my players is play to the final siren . Richmond will eventually self destruct.

Port will likely be at full strength on the weekend. Boak cleared of injury plus Dixon and possibly Marshall back as well :help.

Tigers’ burning question: How do they perform post-Dimma?
Richmond has been the talk of the competition this week given Damien Hardwick’s shock decision to depart, leaving Andrew McQualter as the side’s caretaker coach. It’s already a hard enough game against a side on a seven-match winning run in the Power, not to mention the upheaval the Tigers have to contend with now. McQualter has been a rock-solid lieutenant to Hardwick and will have the side’s game plan memorised inside and out, but what tweaks he makes will be fascinating to watch. That’s not to mention the emotional side of things. Do the Tigers play ‘for’ Hardwick this week to try and honour his legacy in a week of celebration for him, or will the emotional toll prove a hindrance rather than a boost? Sunday is a must-watch for so many reasons.
Power’s burning question: Will they continue to roll the dice through the middle?
The Power are “bucking the trend” of other top eight contenders by opting to bypass the boundary route, and instead going corridor at every opportunity. Statistics show Port are ranked 16th for boundary use so far this season - the next closest is Collingwood ranked eighth in the competition. Teams ranked 1-6 for using the boundary fill out the rest of the top eight. “Everything they are doing is more aggressive,” Fox Footy’s Leigh Montagna said. “I love how aggressive they are being this year. It’s allowing them to back their defenders in. Number one team coming through the corridor. They’ve been able to open up the opposition and it’s a real weapon that they’ve gone with. It’s different to what most other teams are doing. It’s reaping rewards for them.”

Port coach Hinkley wary of Richmond's post-Hardwick era
Steve Larkin and Anna Harrington
AAP
27 May 2023
Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley is warning his players to expect the unexpected as Richmond begin life after Damien Hardwick.
Hardwick's resignation from the club he coached since 2010 stunned Hinkley and the wider AFL world.
"He has been an absolute great of the game," Hinkley said.
"He's premiership coach at a great football club and you have to be nothing but shocked."
The Tigers, struggling in 14th spot ahead of hosting the red-hot Power at the MCG on Sunday, appointed Andrew McQualter as interim coach.
The caretaker coach said while Hardwick's resignation was deeply felt by players, they had rapidly refocused to their task.
"It actually wasn't much of a challenge at all ... the players have been unbelievable with their energy this week," McQualter said.
"It's pretty clear that we've still got belief in the way we play.
"The group has been outstanding. The leaders have been outstanding and it hasn't been up to us to drive much of that energy to be honest."
Hinkley was an assistant coach at Gold Coast when McQualter played for the Suns.
And while Hinkley doesn't expect McQualter to change too much at the Tigers, he admits some unease ahead of the MCG encounter.
"Richmond are quite familiar with the people who they've got in charge," he said.
"I would imagine they'll follow a pretty similar programming and a similar game style but there may be some tweaks.
"We talked about that with the playing group. There's some unknowns, we'll never quite know what those unknowns are until we start the game.
"So we have just got to be ready to bring our best and hopefully our best will be good enough."
Port's best has been good enough to down seven opponents in a row, lifting the Power to third spot at the start of the round.
But Hinkley again will be without his key attacking tandem of Charlie Dixon (thigh) and Todd Marshall (concussion), forcing him to be creative with his forward line-up.

The certainties for Round 11
Andrew Slevison
SEN
27 May 2023
Richmond versus Port Adelaide
Rioli to have 21+ disposals, 350+ metres gained
Daniel Rioli is putting together another consistent campaign across half-back.
In 10 outings in 2023, he is yet to drop below 20 disposals and averages 23.9 touches as well as 455 metres gained.
He is a constant in providing drive out of defence for the Tigers and that shouldn’t change under interim coach Andrew McQualter.
We’re banking on Rioli to pick up at least 20 disposals and provide at least 350 metres gained aganst the Power on Sunday.
Butters to have 25+ disposals, 7+ combined inside 50s/clearances
Zak Butters is in some sort of form.
In his last seven outings, the 22-year-old has amassed 212 disposals at an average of 30. (His season average is 26.9 across 10 games).
Last week against Melbourne he was extraordinary with 41 touches, 10 clearances and eight inside 50s (plus two goals).
In seven career games against Richmond he has only averaged 17 touches per game, but in his most recent outing against the Tigers (Round 21 last year) he finished with 28 touches.
With the current form he’s in, we’re confident Butters will collect at least 25 touches.
He also averages 5.1 inside 50s and 4.2 clearances across the season, so we’ll throw in a combined total of 7 or more inside 50s and/or clearances.

Wonder how often two interstate sides have won at the 'G in the same round? :shh
-
Wet weather today and after Zak Butters game last week in the wet I am not feeling confident.
-
I am expecting a good showing by us today. A few changes in positions expected. Pickett playing as a mid who can tag would be fantastic. I know Mini has wanted this for sometime :shh so I hope it happens. We are a big chance today :gotigers

:shh

Wish it wasn't raining
But looking forward to the game. We are a show however small

Small crowd?
-
Same old story, forward entries are deplorable
-
Prestia runs to 40 and passes it to nobody when under no pressure
-
It seriously seems like there’s a mental block with our players when entering F50. It’s like they know it’s such an issue and they’re so scared of making a mistake that they just can’t make a decision and kick it to nowhere every bloody time
-
Was a good start but back to normal

Really. No awareness, turnover merchant. Fumbles constantly. Worst on ground last week.

I’d feel more sorry for him if he atleast tried something different. It’s one thing to play more or leas the exact same 22 as we have the whole season but atleast move some magnets around. I haven’t seen anyone playing a different role. Maybe Prestia playing more traditional midfield role but otherwise I got nothing.
-

Least of our problems
Miller starting forward was good, gave us a mobile target. As soon as he goes off we are back to going through Jack Riewoldt which is stupid
Won't even bother giving my thoughts on Hugo

It was going to go the either of two ways today: Come out pumped up OR be flat as a tack and just go through the motions. It's been the latter. Only Nank and Bolts look like they are playing with some intensity.
The likeness to Carlton is a good one. We're just as allergic to grabbing the responsibility and going for goal. Rather we see it as a chance to fail and in main do. Amateur stuff!
Our footskills out of D50 and inside F50 have been deplorable. Floaters that are constantly to the advantage of Port players.
-
That was brilliant by Miller.
-
HRS squib again
-
Why are we not leading? :help
:banghead
-
Strangely enough the score line isn’t out of reach if the tigers of old (dynasty edition) can get it together and actually move the ball properly. 2 goals 9 doesn’t I still a lot of confidence though

Our effort has improved this quarter.

What’s yartapulti?

Good intent from baker. Loved his spoil on SPP. I wish more players which are athletically talented or just more blessed with footy skills played with his sort of ticker
-
Better effort and pressure in general play but not finishing off our good work. The story of our season. Amateur hour in front of the sticks. Just 3 goals from 26 inside 50s and 2.7 in a quarter and 3.10 for a half is pathetic! :banghead
Worst of all it's our experienced champs who have missed the easier gettable set shots: Dusty x2 and Jack. Add Ross in the first quarter. Then add Rioli missing on the run and the snaps from 35 out that fell short or were shanked (Dusty again, Graham, Kmac, Bolton). Ironic that Taranto who is copping it this year for his disposal finally put one through.

Too many ball watchers.
Ryan leads the ball watching stats on the ground. :help

I don't know how anyone can think football is better now it's so uncontested.

He reminds me of Chol. Doesn’t get enough of the ball despite physically dwarfing opponents but holy moly at least possesses a decent set shot kicking action

Where has this Nank been
-
Umpires :banghead
So much for hometown umpiring today. 10 - 15 ::).
Lycett is continually playing behind at throw-ins with his arm across Nank's shoulder and not one free to big Nank :thumbsdown.
-
If we had a half-decent forward line especially decent small crumbers we would win this.
-
Umpires have killed us today. Shocking.
-
Is Alir that good or what? Kills us every time.
-
Depressing last quarter performance. Can't get it past half forward. Port the better team by far.
-

No1 to keep him accountable. Jack is a champ but he’s barely able to get off the ground for atleast 2 seasons now. If they’re not finding him on the lead, he can’t really contribute.
-

The boys know the umps are just gonna ream 'em no matter what they do so heads start to drop.
Can't we get a couple of joke softies in front of goal? WE'd be in front then.
-

I’m not sure why we didn’t make a play for him when the swans looking to trade
-
Balta couldn’t be any more like a young rance. Doesn’t some great things and then just let’s you down so often time after time

Why are the crowd booing JHF.
Absolutely ridiculous

These umpires are a disgrace.
The fix is in.

I think Rance was starting to iron out those mistakes by this stage.

Free kicks 14 - 23. The umpires ruined an interesting contest in the last quarter.
That's what you come to the footy to see though -- the officiating of the game, the adjudicators adjudicating. Really is a sight to behold and so much to discuss after the game at the pub. Great talking points.
-
Balta is learning to take the game on and will make mistakes. He's not training to be the next David Astbury.
-
Rance used to get harsh criticism on here in his early years . How people forget.
-
Poor first quarter. Poor intensity.
Dominant second quarter but failed to put it on the scoreboard.
Fought hard in the third to even the contest and hang in there.
Disappointing last quarter after getting within less than a kick. Had the momentum but the turning point was the kick inside 50 where we had 2-vs-1 and the kick went high to Allir's advantage and Port easily go down the other end for a soft goal. After that they beat us up in the clearances and inside 50s as we ran out of steam.
Umps (esp. Leigh Fisher) did us no favours. Different rules today for each team. But ultimately, we're not good and polished enough to capitalise due to our poor skills and finishing. Summed up our season.
ps. Not sure why Samson was subbed off when he was. Sure he was quiet in the first half but we had a mismatch up forward against Burton and Samson had just kicked a goal before 3/4 time so his confidence would've been up. We lacked structure forward of the ball once he went off. I don't understand why Clarke is the sub either. Aside from that late goal in junk time, Clarke has been ineffective.
-
Rance used to get harsh criticism on here in his early years . How people forget.
We are talking about Balta constantly making dumb errors.
But apparently nothing to worry about because Rance….
-
Umps stuffed us over completely but we lost the game at selection.
HTF can anyone justify Riewoldt, Miller, Young and Ryan playing in the same team today when its wet.
Mini looking completely clueless so far
-
I have no words right now
Just so disappointed again
-
Miller did some nice things

How a team can lose their ability to play attacking football is a mystery.
Confidence is shot.
-
Miller did some nice things
If only he could take a mark today. He's definitely better as a follower around the ball than as a inside 50 forward target :P.
-
The effort was there just couldn't execute it at times the basics , but in reality nothing changed poor skills , errors and same culprits. Club needs to change its mindset this year its about development and who makes and who doesn't .Get the kids in.
-

How a team can lose their ability to play attacking football is a mystery.
Confidence is shot.
A mixture of no trust in our forward line and structure and our woeful scattergun disposal going inside 50. Our forwards don't lead up at the ball dragging defenders with them to create space inside 50 and we don't have dangerous smalls at ground level anymore front and square to keep the ball in there. In the rare times, we do actually have repeat entries such as the second quarter we kill our momentum by missing inside 50 targets or spraying our shots at goal all over the place. We should have been 3-4 goals up at half-time. Instead, we spent the whole game chasing Port on the scoreboard and again run out of juice in the last quarter.
-
How about we actually play a natural forward or 2 in Bauer or Bradtke, or both.
-
Not one of those "Balta's a forward" derpers but reckon he should've gone up there at some point when it was clear Riewoldt was cooked & we couldn't get past Aliir... :shh
-
How about we actually play a natural forward or 2 in Bauer or Bradtke, or both.
Ummm
Bauer isn't actually a forward. In the SANFL he was a defender who got moved forward and excelled
He could be for us the perfect swingman

I prefer Tylar Young and his ineffective, panic ridden disposals. His ability to cough up goals is also important because he plays to our structures the way Dimma wanted.
A lot of you fail to realise stuff like this.

Agree thought he did a few nice things but the one area we want him to be good is in the air and i don't think we are getting that especially as you say if only he could take a few strong marks.

From Robbo's dislikes column:
4. Talent search is afoot
Richmond’s effort is never the query. We know they need talent to restock and the older blokes have their best footy behind them. But that’s no excuse for Sunday’s final quarter. While Butters and Co. went to work, two of Richmond’s game breakers, Dustin Martin and Shai Bolton, disappeared. Bolton had two possessions and Martin one in the last, and although Port had the territory, the two Tigers couldn’t inject themselves into the game. They were pretty good for three quarters, particularly Bolton, but they also finished with 3.6 between them. Not for the first time, they were the difference, and this time in a losing team.

AFL Report Card: Round 11
Ben Waterworth, Ben Cotton and Catherine Healey
Foxsports
29 May 2023
RICHMOND
Life after Damien Hardwick has begun for Richmond - and interim coach Andrew McQualter was almost gifted first-up win, only for a classy Port Adelaide outfit to kick away late. There were glimpses of the Tigers’ DNA throughout the match, creating more forward-half turnovers, inside 50s and scoring opportunities as the game progressed. But their lack of polish proved costly as the Power won by 10 points.
In the votes
On a day where players struggled with cleanliness and class, Tim Taranto stood out, booting four of the Tigers’ nine goals and collecting 33 disposals and seven clearances. Nathan Broad and Noah Balta were excellent in defence, while Shai Bolton was lively across the first three quarters.
Room for improvement
Damien Hardwick watched Sunday’s match as a Richmond fan on his couch with beer in-hand. And Hardwick would’ve witnessed the same issues that plagued the Tigers during their topsy-turvy first 10 rounds of this season. Richmond’s lack of polish forward of centre – the team’s biggest flaw to date in 2023 – was on display, booting 3.10 from 26 inside 50s in the first half. Then when the game was up for grabs, match-winners Bolton and Dustin Martin went missing, having just three disposals between them in the final term. For the match, the duo kicked 3.6 between them. Meanwhile, Jack Graham had a mare, finishing with just 11 disposals and going at 33 per cent by foot.

I was watching on TV and didn't even hear it. Yet another reason why he should at least have had a farewell game, but whatever.

Taking of Ryan was stupid move honestly let's hope this isn't going to be normal.

Would have been tough for him but Hardwick should have coached this game, could of milked it and got 60,000 plus to send him off.
A mistake but understand the reasons.

Taking of Ryan was stupid move honestly let's hope this isn't going to be normal.
How so? He was contributing next to nothing up to that point. Only managed to finally clunk one and kick a goal when he played on someone half his size. Honestly I’m all for getting games into the younger players but he’s got to be able to contribute for more than 5 second patches when the ball is bounced/thrown up/thrown in.

OVERREACTIONS, POSITIVES, NEGATIVES & UNDROPPABLES FOR ROUND 11

The Key Takeaway: Tigers not far off, just lacking class
Richmond made life difficult for an in-form Port Adelaide for most of Sunday afternoon.
In Andrew McQualter’s first game as interim coach, the Tigers were competitive aside from a period in the first quarter where the Power kicked five goals in a row.
The club’s ladder position of 15th doesn’t read very well, but the Tigers have been competitive in almost every game this season.
The effort and intent is there for the most part, they’re just lacking a bit of class, particularly forward of centre.
The Positive: Tim Taranto
Take a bow, Tim Taranto.
He was far and away Richmond’s best player against Port.
Taranto finished with 33 disposals and seven clearances, which were both game-highs, plus seven tackles and an equal career-best four goals.
The former Giants would most likely be well clear in the best and fairest count at this stage of the campaign.
The Negative: Forward setup
The forward line setup is not really working at the moment.
The Tigers are crying out for Tom Lynch to return, but in the meantime, McQualter needs to find a way to improve the connection between the midfield group and the forwards.
Veteran Jack Riewoldt is having to play on the best defender each week and is looking a bit sore. He’s doing his best to provide a contest, but isn’t getting much assistance from the ball use going forward.
Dustin Martin was dangerous at times, however, he kicked 2.3 when he probably should have kicked four or five.
The Tigers have produced the sixth most inside 50s this season, yet they have kicked the fifth least points for the campaign.
Maybe it is time to unleash Kaelan Bradtke or Jacob Bauer up forward, or just leave Noah Cumberland in the team.

Time for a radical change?
Put six quick smalls in the forward line and have the mids and half back flankers run the ball in and lower their eyes and pick out a moving target.
