Richmond v GWS Preview
Lachlan Geleit
SEN
12 July 2024
Richmond has never lost to GWS at the MCG, but that looks likely to change on Sunday afternoon.
In dour winter conditions, it’s going to be hard for the 18th-placed Tigers to kick any semblance of a winning score, given they’re the worst offensive side so far in 2024 – particularly against GWS who kicked 116 last week against Carlton.
In that game, the Giants kicked 14 goals to 3 across the second and third terms and you’d almost expect them to turn it on for a half of footy again to get the job done.
A win here for GWS would send them to 10-7 and help them really rebuild their season.
For Richmond, they’re behind North Melbourne in last by percentage at 2-14 and they probably wouldn’t mind staying there as long as they keep getting some important game time into their youngsters.
It’s not only Richmond that GWS has a problem against at the MCG though, given they’re 1-5 in their last six at the venue including the heartbreaking 2023 Preliminary Final loss to Collingwood.
Surely that form line changes this week though, given the obvious matchup advantages the Giants possess all over the ground.
Tip: GWS by 39 points.

Rough turnout at the G today. Looks real bad.
-
Good set up by Ralphsmith to set up a goal unfortunately the player that shouldn't be captain couldn't capitalise on an easy shot at goal and now it's gone down the other end for a goal to them.
-
Looks like we might get slaughtered today. Just in all sorts with our defensive structure off our half forward. Look outnumbered everywhere.
-
Can't kick straight.
Can't/Won't defend the defensive side of contests.
::)
-
We look okay at the contest with the likes of hopper and Taranto but as soon as it spreads we are stuffed. We’re looking at the team that was happy to lose both Taranto and hopper and we’re seeing why. Very one dimensional and you can only afford one of the two in your midfield at a time
-
Jack Graham is the definition of a plodder. always looks like he’s running so hard and flat out, whilst other players run straight past/away from him with ease
-

Noticed that just then to. So slow, cannot keep up.

Don’t say that guys
Have it on good authority he’s actually one of our quickest
Pity he’s a locomotive that takes 100 metres to warm up
-
Another open goal for Bolton, another miss. He is HORRIBLE in front of goals
-
We must be tanking.. Short remaining in this team is enough to suggest so. Plays like a poo scared rabbit
-
Quarter time
Richmond 3.4-22
GWS 4.3-27
Goals: Baker, Mansell, Ryan.
4 easy misses: Nank's set shot, and Banks, Mansell and Bolton on the run under no physical pressure. Amateur hour! :banghead
On the "defensive" side, we all run forward past the contest and no one remains defensive side :facepalm. Allows the Giants to waltz into an open forward line.
-
We’re actually beating them in a lot of areas but boy is our transition defence absolutely garbage. Has been since 2021 really, these stupid rules that they introduced haven’t helped. Feel like we’re playing with 3-4 less players on field the way they just cut through and have options everywhere.
-
Wow Kosi...
-
Why isn't that 50 metres for holding Mansells hand when he's trying to go back on the mark?
-

Should be imo
-
Kosi :banghead :help :P :facepalm :stupid
-
Wow Kosi...
And again fmd should have 2
-
Sitters missed: 6
And then our senior players have a collective brainfade at HB and gift GWS a goal.
::)
-
Wow our defensive work is doggy doo
-

I don’t see how you can call TT one dimensional. He wins it in the contest, gets clearances, kicks goals, tackles and covers an insane amount of ground.
-
We are the most clueless team in the league now :facepalm.
-
I meant one dimensional as a unit
-
Shorts effort on Greene there, I could slap him honestly.
-
We have our 5 goals for the half so we better stop. On track for our average of 8 per game.
-
Steely gets his first AFL goal :clapping.

But he struggles in the hit out department so I think Simo is correct.
-
I think we are playing quite well . Really enjoying the effort.
Hugo has been impressive.
-
Half-time
Richmond 3.4 6.7-43
GWS 4.3 9.4-58
Goals: Mansell 2, Baker, Ryan, Bolton, Green.
Our forward line and the connection between our mids and forwards is shambolic. 11 more inside 50s yet we're down by 15 pts.
All 7 behinds were gettable shots.
:banghead
-
Far from our worst half, could easily be winning imo.
-
Mansell and Ralph-Smith are two players that are doing pretty well in the first half.
Hugo nearly could've had a contender for mark of the year but he didn't hold it.
-
Miller having a shocker
-
Ryan looks like everything that you don't look for in a footballer. :whistle
-
All I’ve looked for this year is positives in the young guys, but lately it’s been hard to find them. Sonsie just doesnt touch the ball. All the young guys have been disappointing today. hopefully trezise can do something
-
It's hard to tell if it's just because the season is done and cues in the rack but the lack of skill and polish is alarming
-
What was that last free kick for? Can’t tell at the ground.
-
KMac senior player gives away a stupid off the ball free
Any hope we had and it was minuscule is gone
Thanks :banghead
-
HTB has only been applicable to 1 team all afternoon.
-
What was that last free kick for? Can’t tell at the ground.
Off the ball KMac knocked a bloke way off the ball
Effen stupid
-
I could be way way off here but it really doesn’t look like there’s more than 6-8k people here at the G.
-
3/4 time
Richmond 3.4 6.7 8.10-58
GWS 4.3 9.4 14.5-89
Goals: Koschitzke 2, Mansell 2, Baker, Ryan, Bolton, Green.
The effort has been there today, but we are clueless and woeful both offensively and defensively. Add being allergic to tackling to the list as well :facepalm.
-
Miller having a shocker
Yep, has had a mare today.
-
Trezise subbed on for Sonsie.
-
Defenders need a spray. They’ve been jogging half assed behind their man all game giving them all the time in the world to pick out an open team mate.
-
Feel for sonsie. He won’t play midfield as long as hopper, Taranto and Prestia are around. His lack of being able to play other positions will expose him though. Fear he might not be up to afl
-
Taranto looks concussed.
Of course, no free kick for the dumping tackle.

Doctor took his sweet ass time coming out to check on him. He was down for a solid couple mins before he thought he should run out.
-
Pathetic umpiring ::).
Clear free to Baker.
-
Disgraceful that there is no free for Taranto.
-
Our mids don’t want to run or chase today.
-
This last QTR is a classic example as to why Nank should have never been captain.
-
Samson Ryan can’t put 2 arms up in the air at the same time. The bloke is a windmill!

Because someone had the other arm :banghead

How many times this year have we given up goals in the last seconds of quarters and goals out the back where they stroll in to the square,

Sonsie is useless.. he must earn his spot. Taranto Hopper and Prestia were dominat all day. I think it's the most minutes together all year as the main 3 .
-
More shots on goal, more inside 50s (by a considerable margin), won clearances (both centre and at stoppages) and won contested possession. We lost because we didn’t make them work hard for their goals at all as evidenced by their 17.6 scoreline. 17 of the easiest goals they’ll ever kick, how many were over the top passes running into an open goal or a set shot within 30m with little to no angle? Our team defence is garbage and whichever assistant is in charge of that should be let go at the end of the season.

Final Score
Richmond 3.4 6.7 8.10 12.12-84
GWS 4.3 9.4 14.5 17.6-108
Goals: Green 3, Bolton 2, Koschitzke 2, Mansell 2, Baker, Ryan, D.Rioli.

This x1000000.

We got a pack of bluggers out there of our senior group. How many today stood up and all season 2 or 3 . The worst part is their skills and turnovers.
Nothing on Yze today we played well just let down by a certain group. Kids are playing their part obviously not going to get 4 quarters understandably, but gez I'm filthy at our senior group.
-
Pathetic crowd today, I can’t believe how quickly people drop off when things aren’t going good.

And imbeciles complain Dusty got overpaid this year
Paid for it in its entirety pulling in 90k for his 300th

Yep pathetic, not even 20k

Today can't question the effort which was a positive
Another positive was Steely Greene.

Ditto, disgusted with the effort of some of the senior blokes. In particular our 2 vice captain's out there today. I've been of the belief that Baker is leaving but gee the last couple of weeks the way he's playing it's hard not think he's already checked out.
As for Short. In the final qtr, yes Nanks kick was a average but Short's "effort" was diabolical. It happened right in front of us, no effort just stood there like a statue. I'm sure the media will list him the best because he had high stat numbers but gee his "efforts" for a senior, leader are more often than not unacceptable

Apparently, our lowest MCG home crowd since 2004.

Nank for all the good things he does , ruins it all with all the pathetic things he does which ALWAYS COST GOALS

Hey Sicily funnily I'm able to watch afl from My Foxtel in Europe. I'm in Poland now and it worked over the weekend.
Every other time I had to pay that watch afl crap, but strangely enough it's working without paying the dogs anything.
Has to be a glitz surely.

AFL Report Card: Round 18
Will Faulkner, Jack Jovanovski, Ben Cotton and Catherine Healey

15 July 2024
RICHMOND
Another in a growing line of valiant Richmond losses this season, as it remains chained to the base of the ladder. While it was bolstered by the return of some experience in form of Dion Prestia, it was once again an experienced side trotted out by Adem Yze on Sunday — and it would appear Tim Taranto is destined for the league’s concussion protocols after a hard fall in a Toby Bedford tackle. In what would be a pleasing result for Yze and his coaching staff, the Tigers owned territory against the Giants — for little reward — as they claimed the inside-50 count 53-36 and clearance tally 39-31 but were a whopping 16 per cent less efficient with their forward entries.
In the votes
Unsurprisingly, Prestia (27 disposals, four tackles, four clearances) was one of Richmond’s best in his return outing, orchestrating the side’s midfield operation and — as he’s best known for — damaging at stoppage. Taranto led the Tigers with 15 contested possessions to go along with his 27 disposals, while Daniel Rioli (26 disposals and a goal) was influential in their fast transition chains.
Room for improvement
Capitalising on their time-in-forward-half dominance and exit from stoppage. The Giants managed 23 scoring shots from their 36 entries, with the likes of Toby Greene and Jesse Hogan (four goals each) getting off the chain far too frequently, while the Tigers generally looked horribly out of place in defensive transition as they scrambled to keep up with GWS’ over-the-back tsunami.

And yet from the coaches box, Nank is seen as being in the best over the last fortnight.

By the way, you say um the um coach sees um things um better um are um oh um as long as um the players are um are happy um in um a happy um environment that's what's um important.. wgaf what you think, I don't, just like you dgaf about what I think.
Typical leftist woke joke, people can only have an opinion if it's exactly like yours.
Nank did some nice things in the game but he cost us the game with his decision making and skill errors.
You can't see that, that's your problem

SNIP :banghead
Stick to the topic and park the insults
Final warning for everyone. I know I've said it fair bit lately but line in the sand time
The insults, baiting and trolling will no longer be tolerated
