Ch 7 briefly showed a snippet of Yze post-game presser.
* Quite happy with the early part of game. Competed well. Could have been front at half-time but wasted opportunities due to failing to execute. Agreed that numbers overwhelmed us in the second half. Second half wasn't good enough but that's ok. Young players out there got more game experience.
* Nank missing was always going to be issue. Samson Ryan only played his second game as first ruck and that was coming off missing 4 weeks. Battled hard.
* Yze reckons Nank will return next week. Rested him tonight so he would miss only one game. If he didn't rest he could have missed more than one week.

Ryan is never going to come on. No heart and incredibly uncoordinated. Need to recruit another ruck asap
-
Not sure what to make of Ryan
I know the lad has just come from injury so you’ve got to cut him some slack but sheesh

He's just a big effing pussy like a lot of blokes we've drafted in the past.
Vickery, Griffiths, Elton, McBean etc.
Should have traded him when Geelong raised an eyebrow.
Now the whole AFL can see he's a dead set dud.

Richmond coach Adem Yze was counting the cost of the 23-point loss, with No.1 pick Sam Lalor pulling up sore, and Thomson Dow suffering a dislocated patella.
Skipper Toby Nankervis is likely to return for next week's clash with Greater Western Sydney after being managed.
"Sammy Lalor, unfortunately we think it's a slight hammy. I'm not sure how bad it is, he's obviously most likely going to miss next week," Yze said.
"Thomson Dow's kneecap slipped out. He said he's had it before, so depending on what sort of damage that does – he's most likely going to miss as well. I'm not sure if he missed a game (last time), but hopefully, because he's been in really good form.
"[Nankervis] has been dealing with a knee issue for the last few weeks, so we had to break the cycle. A five-day break, it just made sense. The risk was if we just kept pushing him through, he'd miss more than just one game. We're hoping this would do that, and he'll just miss one, get back in for the next couple of weeks and look to the bye.
"The hardest thing with the captain, is telling him this is the best scenario to go through, when 'Lynchy' (Tom Lynch) and Noah Balta aren't playing. You could see he was more worried about our leadership out there."
The Tigers had stuck with the Bombers for the first half of the game, but the more experienced Essendon wrestled back control in slippery conditions as the game hit the final straight.
"We were quite happy with the way we started, our first half was really competitive. Thought we probably could have been further in front at half time than behind, but we just didn't finish and execute and maximise our opportunities," Yze said.
"The weight of numbers in the second half – we got smashed in inside 50s, time in forward half, clearances were diabolical.
"And that's okay. We had a really young side in, we just spoke about it post-game – a lot of their A-graders played really well, like their execution, (Zach) Merrett, (Nic) Martin, (Andrew) McGrath, they all had over 30 possessions, wet conditions, and their talent shone through. But they've all played over 150 games. Our front end had (Luke) Trainor, (Sam) Lalor, (Jonty) Faull, (Tom) Sims, who have played 10 games of footy each."

Ryan battled hard
Thomson been in really good form
WOW
Amazing comments .. bit scary really
-
Just goes to show how much they value the judgement of the outer .
-
Dow has been in crap to decent form, which is the best I've ever seen from his baseline of crap.
Ryan was pushed around like an anorexic girl as usual.
-
Yze & Dow's like Hardwick and the last years of George - minus the three flags. :shh
-
Again the hate for Dow puzzling his a foot soldier not a superstar.

He cannot kick a football. You can see when he actually has time and space to kick he doesn’t even know what to do. If we can’t upgrade on him then we are in massive trouble.

Hate?
Was disagreeing with the assessment of him being in “really good form”
Puzzle me that
-
Damo,
He actually is in really good form. For him.
It unfortunately doesn’t appear to the ceiling of an afl finals player
-
Even foot soldier's a generous assessment of Dow. More of a foot stool. :shh
