Match preview: Greater Western Sydney v Richmond

AFL media
July 26, 2016
SUMMARY
Last week’s win over Port Adelaide was Greater Western Sydney's 12th for the year, a new record for the club, and they'll be keen to repeat the dose against Richmond, a team they’ve never beaten. The Giants sit in second spot on the ladder, one of six teams on 12 wins for the season, so they will be well aware of the importance surrounding this clash in Canberra. The Tigers showed some good signs against Hawthorn last week but fell away badly after half-time, so coach Damien Hardwick will want a strong showing on Saturday afternoon. It's Richmond’s first visit to the nation's capital and if the Giants maintain the intensity they showed in the second half against the Power, the Tigers will have a tough flight home.
WHERE AND WHEN: Manuka Oval, Saturday, July 30, 1.45pm AEST
LAST FIVE MEETINGS
R14, 2015, Richmond 10.18 (78) d Greater Western Sydney 10.9 (69) at the MCG
R19, 2014, Richmond 13.11 (89) d Greater Western Sydney 8.14 (62) at the MCG
R10, 2014, Richmond 24.10 (154) d Greater Western Sydney 5.11 (41) at Spotless Stadium
R22, 2013, Richmond 25.13 (163) d Greater Western Sydney 6.6 (42) at Spotless Stadium
R12, 2012, Richmond 11.20 (86) d Greater Western Sydney 12.2 (74) at Spotless Stadium
THE SIX POINTS
1. When these two sides last played the Giants led by five points at half-time and 15 at three-quarter time, before the Tigers overran them. Trent Cotchin was the difference with 33 disposals, two goals and seven tackles.
2. No team has kicked the football more this season than GWS, who are averaging 222.2 per game; the Tigers are sixth at 207.1 per game.
3. The Giants and the Tigers have met five times and Richmond has won all of them, with two of the victories coming by more than 100 points.
4. GWS is the number one clearance side after 17 games averaging 41 per game, while Richmond has struggled in this area, ranked 11th at 36.2 per game.
5. The Giants have overtaken Adelaide as the highest scoring side in 2016, kicking 109 points per game; the Tigers are a long way back with 84 points per game.
6. Richmond midfielder Dustin Martin has continued his rise up the Schick Official Player Ratings, he’s now ranked 26th after being 54th in the competition after round five.
IT’S A BIG WEEK FOR… Jack Riewoldt
The star Tiger had a quiet afternoon against the Hawks last week and needs to respond if his side is any chance of causing an upset. The small ground in Canberra will make it hard for Riewoldt to find space against a Giants' defence in top form, and if the Tigers can't generate more than the 37 inside 50s they had against Hawthorn, they're in trouble.
PREDICTION: Greater Western Sydney by 57 points

The Giants are targeting a sell-out crowd for their clash against Richmond on Saturday, with more than 12,000 fans expected at the venue.

Sight seeing in Canberra... You will be better off going to the game, I will summarize for you, roundabouts, a fake lake with ducks, coldness, and lots of government buildings. Endless boredom and a sense of despair. The best thing about Canberra is the view of it in your rear view mirror as you drive out of the joint.

pathetic when ya fullback is right up on the HFF & props
-
Ellis is so soft
-
Not looking good
-
Vlaustin gives away a free kick for grabbing without the ball yet they do the same to Vickery & we get nothing UMPIRE
-
Modern footy = Transition.
We are as slow as slugs at it. Add the fact if you put a grain of salt on us we disintegrate.
Most other clubs are quick at it.
Hence we are easy to pick off.
Giants 27-0 up.
Time to get a coffee and play my superdraw tattslotto ticket for tonight.
Thanks RFC and Dimma.
3-0-75
3 finals
0 finals win
75 mistakes a quarter.

Oh god

Richmond v Geelong 2007 like atm.

once again the umps are allowing them to rugby pass, smack rance in the eye, no prob, but we get pinged for anything. No excuse for the poo playing though.

The biggest scam of AFL football is the Richmond Football Club. Cheats who should be investigated for tanking & taking the members money on false pretenses. l'm not supporting this club in membership ever again. l simply have given dead money to this club for near 40 years. Enough is enough
TANKERS CHEATING THE BETTING PUBLIC
WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS MATCH FIXING :banghead
-
They just boom it long, mark, goal, hilarious. THis is what our game plan should of been with our tall players, griff with his big kick, just makes me sick to watch
-
I know it has been said on this forum before but there are suburban and country sides who are playing better footy than us atm. :help

This club can't do anything properly including tanking (see Jordan McMahon)
We are this crap because we are this crap accept it and hope one day someone will be able to change things.

The AFL have created a monster that will oppress us for decades, with all 2000 of their supporters, stuff the afl, they have betrayed us

Here come the Giants

Yep lets blame the AFL Owl.
Hawks finished .01 of a percent above us in 2004 yet have won 4 flags since then and are on track for a 5th. We have made 3 finals appearances. Woo hoo.
We are the new retro St.Kilda.

Who cares. We'll pick up a recycled 10 cent aluminium can on $300K a year from SA anyway.

l'm serious them players are not even trying. They are jogging on the spot. They are match fixers & l'm sure things will be said during the week. Hunt looks around & hits a perfect pass. Hardwick will be sacked Monday you watch.
Everyone know JMc stuffed up that shot that day. Melbourne players loved it

Don't you mean he'll get a 2 year extension. The footy review is for the office backslappers not the footy department.
-
God this is awful... holy hell
-
See what they do when they get a free or a mark, the bloke with the ball moves sideways and another of their players runs in and interferes with the man on the mark before they call play on.
-
Drummond - looks like Hunt, plays like Hunt....
-
Only fifty points behind now
-
Does Ellis ever think before a disposal?

How is this match fixing? You think even if they tried they'd win? They are executing Dumma's perfect game plan superbly as far as I can see, we still haven't tackled but we are already the worst tackling team in the comp. We don't go straight through the middle because Dumma likes to go crab like and retain possession. We don't deliver direct into the forward 50 because we love the pockets.
What have you see that is any different to what it's always been since Dumma has coached us. Too soft? Where have you been?
-
Well stuff me sideways we got a free !!! lol turning point of the match right here!
-
Get off Hunt!
-
I am having fun counting how many times Vickery falls over in each passage of play for no apparent reason, he is tearing it up
-

Are sure it wasn't Drummond?

Full forwards leading down the guts & Houli goes to the boundary line.
Benny Gale is going to get the full force this coming week & that Tony Free :banghead
-
LOL the umpire calls that in the stuffing back after the rubbish he lets slide !!!
-
No Richmond ain't tanking they only taken 1 mark so far in the game that can't be right
-
It is like a car accident in slow motion with lots of gore, I know I shouldn't watch but I just can't look away...
-

Our two main marking targets up there have been Vickery & Hamspud...wtf do you expect?

8 points in a half in perfect conditions.... :gotigers
-
l want to see sackings after kicking 8 points in a 1/2 of football in perfect conditions

sweet Geez, there is gonna be an epic colonic at the end of this season

-
Will be our biggest loss in years imo
Yep
Bump
-
Our lowest half time score since 1996
-
I would say we have to shake some of that talent free from GWS but we just don't have anything to offer, nothing has changed from when we started. Nothing to trade except a few players you can count on one hand, and trading them would be like trading a major organ away, pointless.
-
Our lowest half time score since 1996
...and we had a better coach then.....
-
Reminds me of St-Kilda of the 70's & 80's
-
Wonder how many votes Rance will get for GWS today & how many goals Junk Time Jack will kick :snidegrin
-
Kelly jogging away with the ball looks over his shoulder at Martin and knows he isn't going to chase me down so i have all the time in the world :help I know how good Martin is and has been but this is the crap standards that drive me crazy :banghead
-
Would it be wrong of me to, after 18 years, start to question whether ill sign up as a member next year?
-
Would it be wrong of me to, after 18 years, start to question whether ill sign up as a member next year?
no it wouldn't because l near been a member for 40 years & l'm not renewing all our memberships again. l'm prepared to sacrifice my continued membership & lose everything. l refuse to support a club that lays down & dose not give 100%. Supporters give 100% every year no matter what membership package they get its still 100% they commit to this rubbish.
-
I wonder what WP is doing right now?
-
I called it last week and this just further proves it - Hardwick has lost the players. It's the last straw.
-
Trade that useless Riewoldt to St-Kilda for Membrey

I called it last week and this just further proves it - Hardwick has lost the players. It's the last straw.

3/4 time 22 points on a perfect day
l stayed home from the local footy to watch this poo :banghead
-
Should have been in Canberra supporting the tiges
-
Should have been in Canberra supporting the tiges
l stopped going to games early in the year & told the others l won't be going again this year. Tired of the rubbish they dish up. l refuse to spend all that money to watch players kick backwards & sideways
-
You know what in my days of playing football. If you had a opponent coming forward & you didn't run at him to apply pressure. The coach would grab you by the scruff of the jumper & biff you. All l see is defenders running back allowing the attacking player to continue gaining ground forward & plenty of time to think what he wants to do.
Who the stuff teaches that poo
-
not one of our useless pricks provide a lead they all stand there next to the opposition players
-
Anyone else just see Vickery on the bench huffing hard?
LMFAO we are amatuers
-
not one of our useless pricks provide a lead they all stand there next to the opposition players
They do that weekly its the norm to them. l honestly think the players run the football club down there
-
Riewoldt champion Full forward what was that
-
Performances like this have the stench of a coach that's lost the players. They've certainly switched off today. Not giving a stuff, failing to do even the basics you learn in the U10s, undisciplined, frustrated, etc ...
Once again it's the supporters that can only hold their heads up high. A record crowd for an AFL game in Canberra.
-
Disgraceful.
-
not one of our useless pricks provide a lead
McBean does..... :shh
-
Riewoldt champion Full forward what was that
Lockett, Dunstall and Hudson would get frustrated with the slow backwards, sideways and wide way we play. Anything but move the ball quickly and directly long forward. It also makes a huge difference that we are getting smashed in the centre clearances this year. We are usually starting any forward movement from our defence under pressure with the opposition in front of us pressing.
-
23 points in perfect conditions - Footy the Halfstep way..... :clapping
-
1 point in the first quarter .
1 point in the last quarter .
Lowest score since 1961.
-
Absolute Disgrace. As l said No more money out of my pocket for this pathetic club. I am done. :banghead
If it was in any other sport, This game would go down as match fixing. Something l will have looked into & presented to the AFL being a punter.
-
Siren puts us out of our misery.
Final Score
Richmond 0.1 1.2 3.4 3.5-23
GWS 8.3 11.5 13.7 17.9-111
Goals: Riewoldt 2, Lloyd.

Great day
More lines through more names :rollin
Sitting there i was sure the game was doje and dusted in the first 3 minutes.
We certainly have some exceptionally dumb footballers :lol
-
Don't get to see many Tigers games live but went along to Manuka today and what you do see is alot of what goes on behind the play which is missed when watching on the TV. What it shows me is we have alot of lazy players who make minimal effort to receive the ball and no effort whatsoever to cover their immediate opposition player. The other thing i noticed was how much pointing and positioning of each other they seem to do and that alone makes me think most of the team has no clue what they are doing and where they should be positioned at any point during the game. To me there is no gameplan that is natural to the players, its very stilted and you can almost hear them thinking about whether they are in the right position or where they should go with the next kick or handball when in possession. Quite frankly the way we play is the most boring, defensive style of the game i think i have ever had the displeasure of having to watch.
Then we get to the individual skill levels of our players, sorry but in that team i don't think i can name one player that more often than not executes their skill, Rance maybe. Short passes going over heads, dropping short, and even the most basic of skills which is handballing to a teammate on the move we cannot execute, either looped too high or too low or behind them. GWS were so far beyond our skill level today it was like our side were being introduced to the game for the very first time.
Its sad to think that these players are the same players that Hardwick believed or still believes for that matter are the best group of players he has had at his disposal since he started coaching the side. If that's true then we must have been the worst side in history before he got here because from what i saw today i would not be proud to say i coached that team, and i use the term "team" extremely loosely because they do not play as a team. About the only thing they do as a team that i could see was as they trudged off at the end of each quarter they are really good at congratulating each other on another poor effort.
Finally after reading quite alot of views on B Ellis i decided to focus on him today and I must say i haven't seen a more ineffectual player for a long time. Again he seems to be telling everyone else where they should be but all he seems to do is jog up and down the wing and never really looks to take possession of the ball. Not sure he even really understands the basics of the game, when he did finally get possessions they was so rushed that each time they were either skied kicks or poorly executed ones resulting in turnovers. I really think he needs to be moved on, yes he is young but he is just not showing anything at the moment and is yet another passenger on the list although we had extra large numbers of them today.

GWS really are Frankensteins monster. They will win a premiership, if not this year maybe next. Leon Cameron has the best gig in football.
They remind me of the Eagles juggernaut circa 1991 .
Forget the possibility of an all WA or SA grand final .....we could see an all NSW Grand Final. Imagine that !!!!!

True. They were given way too much. The only problem is that all the teams agreed to it so they have nobody to blame but themselves.
-
I'm actually not suprised by the result and not sure why people are angry over it. Would you rather they win cheap meaningless games at years end? Or finish low due to poor morale and we finally start to see some wheels in motion?
It's a loss and we probably won't win another game this year so get used to it

I love the post too but you don't even have to go to a game to see that and know it happens.
Six RIchmond players all loitering without an opponent inside the arc as Rance runs the all to fifty...and guess what happens?
Yeh. There's all these GWS players waiting, unmanned. Lol.
Another thing u can also tell form home is, Dimmer is incapable of adapting to any given match and incapable of thinking in the moment.

The solution is clearly to trade dedlio :lol

Richmond havent made a single tough trading decision in Hardwick's time. Or Frawley's either.

The solution is clearly to trade dedlio :lol
It is mate didn't you know?
Let's give the recruiting guru 5 picks in the first 20 to find us our next vickery or Conca. If we are really lucky we might get another bellis

Call me old fashioned and naive - but if you're 50 points down at quarter time having only kicked a solitary point and the opposition is picking apart your zone defence with consumate ease...wouldn't you at least try someting different like, say, revert to man on man....?
Hahaha...nah stuff that, better off just doing nothing and saying to yourself "oh look it's important we maintain our structures..." :clapping

Performances like this have the stench of a coach that's lost the players.
I wonder how different it would be if this was the last year of Dimmas contract? Years over, coach is safe, favourites feel safe because they're still getting a game. Why would you even wanna try? Time to pack it in and try again next year, everyones still going to be there anyway.
Now if his contract wasn't extended early this year. Players may (or may not) want to prove something for the coach, may need to show something because who knows if they'll get a game under the new coach. Hell, we may have already at an interum coach by now where the players had to prove something.
Stability, it promotes mediocrity

Its sad to think that these players are the same players that Hardwick believed or still believes for that matter are the best group of players he has had at his disposal since he started coaching the side. If that's true then we must have been the worst side in history before he got here
Worse than Fitzroy :clapping
