Match preview: Richmond v Fremantle
afl.com.au
10 May 2017
SUMMARY
Back-to-back losses and an extensive injury list have Richmond on unsteady ground for the first time this season as the glow of a 5-0 start begins to fade. The Tigers are still playing good football and they could easily have walked away with the four points in a thrilling five-point loss to the Western Bulldogs in round seven. But they didn't, despite holding a 32-point lead in the second quarter, and they won't be at full strength against a Fremantle team that has turned its season around. While the Tigers' success this year has been based on a new attacking game style, the Dockers' has been built around youth. Ross Lyon's men have won four of their past five games, their latest an impressive 37-point win against Essendon at Domain Stadium. Three of those four wins have come at home, making Sunday's match at the MCG a significant test of their progress, as well as Richmond's.
WHERE AND WHEN: MCG, Sunday, May 14, 1.10pm AEST
LAST FIVE TIMES
R9, 2016, Richmond 11.17 (83) d Fremantle 6.9 (45) at Domain Stadium
R17, 2015, Fremantle 12.10 (82) d Richmond 10.18 (78) at the MCG
R10, 2015, Richmond 15.7 (97) d Fremantle 10.10 (70) at Domain Stadium
R13, 2014, Fremantle 16.9 (105) d Richmond 12.13 (85) at the MCG
R17, 2013, Richmond 12.12 (84) d Fremantle 8.9 (57) at the MCG
THE SIX POINTS
1. Fremantle struggled against the Tigers when they last met, kicking just two first half goals on their way to a 38-point loss at home. Trent Cotchin (39 possessions and 10 clearances) and Dustin Martin (30 and six inside 50s) starred, with Martin picking up the three Brownlow votes.
2. Richmond has been a strong contested possession team in 2017 and ranks equal second (149.3 a game), while the Dockers have struggled in this category and rank 16th (136.6).
3. The Tigers advantage could be in their tackling power, ranking No.3 with 72.6 a game, compared to the Dockers (18th at 53.9 a game). It's been a terrific turnaround after the Tigers ranked last for overall tackles in 2016.
4. In Richmond’s favour is their record against Fremantle at the MCG, holding an 8-4 advantage overall. The Dockers have won three of the last four, however, including a four-point thriller when they last met at the venue.
5. Fremantle’s defensive effort has returned in recent weeks. In the opening two rounds they conceded 130 points a game, but in the four matches since they have conceded just 84 points a game.
6. Richmond forward Dan Butler has cracked the top 500 in the Schick AFL Player Ratings, climbing from No.575 overall in round one to No.500 after finding his niche in a dangerous small forward line.
IT'S A BIG WEEK FOR … Toby Nankervis
The Tigers ruckman has been superb at his new club but he cost the Tigers by earning a one-match suspension last week. He's back and up against Aaron Sandilands in a critical match-up. Nankervis has carried a heavy ruck load this season and thrived on it. He'll likely be given the same challenge on Sunday and if he can exploit Sandilands around the ground it will go a long way to a Tigers' win.
PREDICTION: Richmond by 15 points

Look out Dusty, Dockers plan your downfall
afl.com.au
10 May 2017
FREMANTLE could throw Connor Blakely his toughest tagging job yet on Dustin Martin, but the Dockers aren't ruling out a tantalising head-to-head battle between the Richmond star and Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe.
Blakely has been a revelation for Freo in his new run-with role since round three, clamping down on the likes of Marcus Bontempelli, Jack Ziebell and Luke Shuey.
On Sunday, the youngster shackled Zach Merrett after half-time, keeping the Essendon ball magnet to nine touches as the Dockers overran a tiring Bombers outfit to notch their fourth win.
But stopping Martin looms as Blakely's biggest challenge yet.
"Connor has done really well on some pretty damaging midfielders and on the weekend Merrett was getting away from us and Connor went to him and basically cut out his influence on the game," Dockers star Lachie Neale said.
"That might be an option (for Martin), but I'll leave that to (coach) Ross (Lyon) to sort out."
Martin is averaging 28 disposals and nearly two goals a game switching between playing in the engine room and deep forward, but Freo appears to have a midfield equipped to tame the Tiger.
"(Martin's) a great player, one of the best in the comp, so we're going to have to be switched on there," Neale said.
"I think we'll have a couple of options for (him).
"We know David (Mundy) and Nathan are big, strong bodies as well, so whether or not they just compete really fiercely against him and go one-on-one … we'll wait and see."

RICHMOND v FREMANTLE PREVIEW
Foxsports
11 May 2017
Sunday, May 14, 1.10pm at the MCG
Team News
Damien Hardwick said Dion Prestia was a “touch and go” prospect to play on Sunday, but the midfielder remains in doubt as he battles a hamstring strain. Toby Nankervis will be a walk-in after serving his one-match suspension. Ivan Soldo could possible retain his position, with Aaron Sandilands a huge prospect to face solo in the ruck. David Mundy should be right to play for Fremantle, after knocking his knee against the Bombers.
Richmond’s burning question: Is this the day Jack Riewoldt goes berserk?
Jack Riewoldt is starting to find his rhythm. While his mosquito fleet were all the talk in the opening three weeks of the season, Riewoldt has begun to assert himself over the past month. The 209-game veteran has kicked 16 goals in the past four weeks, including a bag of six against Melbourne on Anzac Day eve. He’s hungry. Joel Hamling shapes as the man likely to take on Riewoldt, although veteran Michael Johnson may be given the role. They’d want to bring their A-game because Riewoldt’s patch of form is purple.
Fremantle’s burning question: Who will Connor Blakely tag this week: Dustin Martin or Trent Cotchin?
The tagger is back. And Connor Blakely is one of the men responsible for its resurgence. Last weekend against Essendon Blakely was sent to curb Zach Merrett’s influence in the second half. He limited him to eight touches. Blakely has also played valuable run with roles on Marcus Bontempelli, Jack Ziebell and Luke Shuey, which suggests he’ll match up on one of Richmond’s star midfielders on Sunday. Dustin Martin is arguably the most dangerous player, but if tagged he may isolate himself in the forward line which would spell danger for Blakely as it did with Bontempelli. Trent Cotchin, therefore, seems the safest bet.
Predicted post-game headline: Jack attack: Riewoldt inspires Tigers to victory
Tip: Richmond by 28 points

Why Freo-Richmond will all come down to the stoppages
Shayne Hope
West Australian
13 May2017
Fremantle’s stoppage-reliant attack faces one of its biggest tests of the season against a vastly improved Richmond defensive system at the MCG on Sunday.
Champion Data statistics reveal the Dockers have kicked 48 per cent of their score from stoppages this year, amounting to an average of 39 points a game.
Footy Tipping and Fantasy competition with $150,000 in prizes up for grabs!
The figures indicate a far greater dependence on that scoring avenue than any other side in the competition this season.
In generating scores, Fremantle have leaned heavily on the contested work of captain Nat Fyfe, whose clearances have led to a team-high average of 9.4 points a game.
Lachie Neale (7.4), David Mundy (3.3) and Michael Walters (2.6) will also be looked to in that department against Richmond, while hamstrung midfielder Stephen Hill (7.4) will be missed.
The ruck battle between Dockers giant Aaron Sandilands and Richmond’s Toby Nankervis, who returns from a one-match suspension, will be crucial in giving their midfielders first use.
Richmond have tightened up significantly in several key defensive areas this season and are well prepared to shut down one of Fremantle’s greatest strengths.
Fremantle coach Ross Lyon discusses one of the game's biggest asks.
The Tigers are rated second hardest in the competition to score against from stoppages after seven rounds, conceding just 26 points a game from that source.
A lot of their improvement can be attributed to greater pressure around the ball, an area where they are rated second best in the competition.
If Fyfe, Mundy or Neale manage to get off the chain, Richmond coach Damien Hardwick could turn to midfield stopper Kane Lambert to put on the clamps in a tagging role.
Lambert’s defensive job on West Coast champion Sam Mitchell after half-time was crucial to the Tigers’ win in round three.
Hardwick expected Fremantle would employ a similar tactic against Richmond superstar Dustin Martin at some stage, with Connor Blakely the man to be given the task.
Blakely has performed shutdown roles on Marcus Bontempelli, Jack Ziebell, Luke Shuey and Zach Merrett in recent weeks. “Blakely has gone to players more than started on players,” Hardwick said.
“It’s probably a little bit of a similar philosophy to us.
“If someone gets out of control we’ll look at monitoring that player.
“Blakely’s a good player that can actually win his own ball as well, so that will be something that I’m sure Ross (Lyon) has up his sleeve.”
Tomorrow’s encounter shapes as an important one for both clubs’ finals hopes, with Richmond (5-2) coming off two straight losses and Fremantle (4-3) just outside the top eight.
“It’s going to be a great challenge for us,” Hardwick said.
“We’re probably in a similar ball park, both our sides.
“They’re probably inexperienced squads that have probably got some consistency issues at stages, but it’s going to be a really good contest because they’re playing some pretty good footy at the moment.”

After playing and losing to two top 4 sides, we can't afford to be complacent against Freo just because we're playing them at home and are favourites to win. They've knocked us off 3 of the past 4 times at the 'G to frustratingly small margins. Ross Lyon has each time been able to close the game down and win it on the inside in griding low scoring games :banghead.
We need to come out firing and control the game. With the results of other games, we've got a chance to jump up to third and only off top spot by %.
-
Halfstep doing his best to hand it to Freo at the selection table.
-
we lose this and nothing has changed culture wise..
-
With Adelaide, geelong and dogs losing its even more important we get this win. The competition is as wide open right now as any time I can remember.
If there were any time for us to snag a premiership out of no where it'd be this year I reckon.

Not sure about snagging a flag. But I definitely agree that this is a huge game. Win this convincingly and not only do we move to 4th but gain percentage that we need.
Take the game on as we have and I am.confident in a good win.
Happy mums day.

We're kicking to the City end.
A mini melee to start. Cotch got the free.
Freo flooding from the start ::) but McIntosh's kick is spot on to Jack. Goal :gotigers.
Rich 6
Freo 0
-
Freo trying to niggle us off the ball. Targeting Cotch who has got two frees from it.
Ellis to Elton. Goes to Martin (free) off to McIntosh but his kick inside 50 is poor.
6 - 1
-
6 minutes in and Houli has missed 2 targets already. FHO!
-
Houli two mistakes in the space of 10 secs but we still clear.
McIntosh to Elton 65m out. Goes long and it's a throw-in. Dusty off the ground for a point.
Score level. 1.1-7 a piece.
-
Now just gets out marked without even putting his hands in the air.
-
Bruise free so far. Not switched on :banghead.
-
:banghead
-
Can we make any more basic schoolboy mistakes? Dumb dumb mistake riden soft footy so far.
-
We're lucky their disposal is as bad as ours.
-
This is poor footy
-
13 turnovers already to us. We average 75 per game which is 18th in the comp.
-
Man up their lose in our forwardline.

:facepalm.
We got the goal (Caddy) but we did our best to stuff it up :facepalm.
Rich 13
Freo 14
-
Can we actually have one play without dropping a simple mark?
-
Kick it long and do it quickly.
We are playing like last year.
-
This is crap to watch.
-
For those not in Melbourne, it's a sunny dry benign day. No excuse for this shambolic footy. The only reason we're still in this is because Freo have been almost as bad as us.
Freo have got the flood on and we don't know how to handle it.
-
Siren brings mercy.
Quarter time
Richmond 2.1-13
Fremantle 2.3-15
Goals: Riewoldt, Caddy.
Time to start again as we haven't turned up to play and played right into Freo's hands. Absolutely pathetic.
-
Obviously off our game. Expect them to turn it around
-
this is more like the richmond we have come to know
-
Dimwit applied ' signature' and only move - loose man down back :banghead Batchelor - witches hat :banghead
-
Houli got to get dropped to many mistakes.
-
Goal to Cotch.
Unbelievably we're in front.
We get another shot but it's into the man on the mark :facepalm.
Rich 19
Freo 15
-
Titch now drops a sitter.

-
We're getting what we deserve :banghead
25 - 35
-
Not switched on at all.Were has that run and carry gone.Lyon toying with Dimma likr he always does.
-
Just 13 tackles from us this qtr. Further proof we're not switched on.
-
Freo should be 5 goals up. That's the only positive. They haven't yet put their dominance on the scoreboard [touchwood].
-
Richmond is kicking at just 56 per cent efficiency this quarter, 19 per cent less than Fremantle.

Jack on the left to Dusty who marks it. Goal :gotigers

Richmond 2.1 5.1-31
Fremantle 2.3 5.6-36
Goals: Riewoldt, Cotchin, Martin, Caddy, Castagna.
Both sides look out on their feet already. All these dumb turnovers seem to be wearing everybody out.
-
How we are only 5 points behind is beyond me .

Dockers should be 3 goals in front.

We're lucky they haven't made us pay from our turnovers.
Freo 2.5-17 from our 41 turnovers.
Rich 4.0-24 from Freo's 36 turnovers.
-
I'm stunned they only have 30-40 more possessions than us, for large amounts of time they are zig zagging all over the ground with short kicks and we can't get or hands on the ball or them. Seem to close the gap quick. It always a half step too late. One of the most frustrating games I've seen us play. WAKE UP!
-
Grigg 16 possessions at 33%
Whats the stuffing point
-
8 Tigers without a tackle - Elton, C.Ellis, Houli, Caddy, Edwards Castagna, Butler.
16 Tigers with just one tackle or less in a half of footy :help.
Georgie and Butler are in our forward line to use their speed to tackle and apply pressure.
Rioli and Cotch pulling their weight with 5 tackles a piece to half-time. Astbury has 3 while Dusty, Batch and Grimes with 2 each.
-
They also seem to be a lot taller taking a shed load more 1 on 1 marks.
The guy playing on Jack is all over him, can't get a break on the lead.
We need to lift our work rate and win more of the ball in the clinches, reckon the definition of clearances is broken bc if they didn't win the ball clear from congestion at LEAST twice as often as we did, I'll go he
-
Too easy for them, Tigers. Lucky they missed.
-
That sums us up today. 6 possessions by hand going nowhere and we turn it over. Back to 2016 :banghead.
And Astbury just headbutted the goalpost :P.
31 - 38
-
Rance another goal saving mark. Houli to McIntosh and it ends up with Caddy 45m out. Plays on when he shouldn't :facepalm and can only poke it. Throw-in. Caddy gets another chance but the long kick is cleared again by Freo.
Geez we're playing brainless footy today :faceplam.
-
Freo should be 6 goals up.
-
Bad turnover by Freo (Kersten) and we run it down (not pretty of course) where Butler marks. Misses from 35.
32 - 39
-
Should not be playing an extra man in midfield. Undermining forward press as a man down.
-
Caddy to Grigg. Hospital handball and it's a turnover. Batch though marks a goal saving tackle and we get it back.
Our defensive efforts have lifted but our disposal with the ball is still stuffed.
-
Big trouble now. Sandilands, Walters and Hill are killing us.
Those first 5 wins to start the season thrown away in one game :banghead.
-
Bah game over now
Same poo different year
-
Is it possible we play any more crap? And our setups at stoppages is atrocious.
At this rate we will lose by 7 goals.
-

-
Too high? :huh :huh3
-
This is 2016 Richmond today and last 3 games.
Playing like they don't give a stuff.
We cannot still even now play against teams who play loose players in defence.
-
Training drill for Freo. We're asleep and just don't care today >:(.
So we drop an inside mid (Miles) and we're still get destroyed on the outside.
-
Elton runs in and misses.
33 - 65
Just 8 tackles this qtr to join the 13 of the first half.
-
Terrible >:(
-
Natural order has been resumed..... We are a 10-14 side and need to stop trading our picks for stop gap measures.
-
Our youngsters are not great.
Hardwick needs to make some changes at 3 qtr time.
-
Dusty misses as well.
Titch finds Elton who gets another shot. Misses again :scream
35 - 65
-
Our youngsters are not great.
Hardwick needs to make some changes at 3 qtr time.
It's all above the shoulders today. We didn't turn up to play from the start and no one wants to work for it. Leaving it up to someone else to do it hoping that will flick on the switch. We're not good enough to just turn it on.
-
Just look so slow, unfit, messy. I hate hearing how we we will learn lessons from games and how the crows taught us so much about contested ball blah blah, we haven't learnt a thing from those losses !
-
was it just me or did we just get robbed a goal,
-
Caddy puts it through but it's disallowed for shepherding against Jack (joke of a decision) :banghead.
Siren.
Richmond 2.1 5.1 5.5-35
Fremantle 2.3 5.6 9.11-65
Goals: Riewoldt, Cotchin, Martin, Caddy, Castagna.
-
I reckon a 10yold girl would get more contested ball than Corey Ellis. The kid is a complete dud
-
we look atrocious, unfit, have gone back to stupid coralling rubbish, look petrified of umpires. Freo aren't afraid to aim for the boundary fmd this sport is a stuffing debacle
-
How's Batchelor going Dooks!
A poo fish of the highest order
-
was it just me or did we just get robbed a goal,
The quality of umpiring this year is the worst I have ever experienced
-
Just look so slow, unfit, messy. I hate hearing how we we will learn lessons from games and how the crows taught us so much about contested ball blah blah, we haven't learnt a thing from those losses !
It's our mental fragility. We didn't get the result for effort last week falling just short against a good side and so we drop our bundle and dish up this soft crap today against a supposedly 'weaker' side.
-
So sick of this poo. The emotional rollercoaster I go through for these pricks isn't worth the stress.
-
Those pricks are working us over. We would be losing anyway but it doesn't make my stuffing mood any better.
-
Will Hardwick shake it up at 3qtr time?
Doubt it and we'll lose by 20

13 Tigers without a tackle that quarter.
Batch moved forward. We are getting desperate :lol.

At least this time we didn't kick it to him.
Why does it take them three quarters to finally play the style of footy that has got us 5 wins?
What a bunch of idiots.
Who's idea was it to allow freos indigenous boys free reign. Mindboggling :rollin
-
Dumb dumb club. How can you not have measures in place to stop that.
Having said that, we didn't deserve to win.

they had them there but all were too deep.There was no one covering for a centre clearance!
.
-
The Richmond of old would have lost by 15 goals.
Good signs this year.
Future looking bright.

What a way to ruin our day. We are pretender's.
We are the only team that would lose that game from there.

I love Grimes, but how does he let an on baller out mark him like that. Weak as pee.
-
Martin was the reason for that clearance. He only had to be defensive for 10 seconds ffs!!!

Gave him too many metres head start so he was a little flat footed which is unacceptable.
Who was blocking the space? How did Neale get a free clearance?
Those are the questions I'd be asking too.
Pathetic and absolutely ruins all the good work to get them the lead in the first place. 20seconds :banghead
We are always a laughing stock.
-
How many times can we continue to accept blatant coaching failures. Deja vu no proper set up up in D50 with 30 seconds to go. Inexcusable. Mark on a lead is outrageous.
-
Jack, Dusty missing easy ones in the fourth.
Dimmer having nfi hiw to setup at the last bounce.

we should have 2 spearing in off 2 wings and 2 covering the defensive side of the centre square. The rest should have been filling gaps in the 50. And the bloody midfielders need to defend and not ball watch!

Really stuffing peeed me off not being able to kill 21 seconds after an amazing fight back, the game was ours, just unacceptable.

Can have 18 but if there aren't directed to stand in appropriate spots then it's pointless.

Have you been watching our games? It's no secret we have some of the most stupid footballers in our team.

Cotchin is captain.
Should have been onto it.

Let it sink in, we only had to defend 21 seconds....not much more than what is required to say " Dimma, we need to discuss your future at the club"..

So you agree it's dumb players rather than Hardwick ? And I've been saying for atleast 2 years that Dimma will not win us a premiership. But I think this loss is all on the players and if you thkkk otherwise you're blinded by hatred for Dimma.

Well, elaborate. 22 seconds to go. Is there even time for Hardwick to send a message to the runner and get it to all the players by the time the centre bounce happens ? I dunno.
No doubt they have trained for late game situations and have a plan in place. Whether what they produced was the plan ( highly doubt it ) or the players are too dumb or overwhelmed to execute it properly is the question. And I'm not a Dimma brightsider. I firmly believe he will not lead us to real success but in this situation I'm not convinced the loss is on him.

Before you blame Dimma even though I'm not 100 per cent behind him how about the players ?? couldn't even defend for 21 seconds and set up properly.Grimes not even close to his man and you would think the guys in the centre bounce could work out the setup.I'm sorry we lack basic footy smarts simple as that players have brain fades.We should been blown away played one quarter of footy thats all.

Agree
After BEllis kicked the goal
There was alot of arm waving by certain players for blokes to get in the D50. Big arm flapper was Grimes, and he made a crucial error allowing Mundy so much space.
But it is in the centre where it was lost. We had our captain and our best player in there.
Did not notice then get together before the bounce and Plan anything, sorry that isn't coaching that a distinct lack of leadership.
They train for these scenarios, week after week. No excuse for the players not to excuse it
Simonator is spot on, don't let your blind hatred for all things Hardwick take the acid of the the ineptitude of our players
They lost it

I wish there was a camera shot of how we set up for that last bounce. There is no way when you can put 14 behind the ball that a player should be allowed to run tho? ugh the center without somebody coming at him and the is no way that there should be no player in the Space were Mundy took the mark. Players lost it, not Hardwick

The players weren't prepared.
Whose job has it been for eight years to prepare them ?
22 seconds not enough for the coach to "get" a runner out there?
It's plenty .... if COMMUNICATION were a tool of the RFC.

Runner gave the message about how much time was left. It was the centre square set up an on field leadership that was the issue.
As I said previously don't let your blind hatred of Hardwick defer the the blame to where it actually lies and that's with our players
-
Halfstep sat on his arse for a quarter and a half and barely made a change while Freo were overrunning us...like he always does....just let Hill & Walters run free and gave Freo acres of space to rack up uncontested possessions down the line and all over the field....while the usual suspects all went MIA (in a way I'm glad Ellis didn't end up the hero, because he sure as hell didn't deserve to be.) once again happy to let the side live & die by the gameplan...fact us for all the bludging, half-arsed efforts, fumbling, poor decision making, dodgy umpiring, poor discipline and missed easy set shots, Freo are a mediocre side and with a few basic moves we still actually should've won going away......make no mistake, Halfstep cost us yet another one...
-

Batchelor what a star hey?

Was many things but not sure solid is the word
Couple of good things but some really average stuff
Fortunately, for Batch he wasn't alone
I've been a Batch fan but today I saw why he's playing VFL

Did some good things but still useless as t@s on a bull when the ball's coming in...

Rubbish. Played on 199cm Tabener and kept him to 2 goals and 11 possessions after last weeks 4 goal and 20 possession game.
Not Batch's fault Hardwick keeps playing him on ruck sized players.

Let's be honest, the last 28 seconds was pathetic but so was most of the game.
We were lazy and were second to the footy. We kicked short, went backwards and sideways and generally moved the baller slower than we have all year. We handballed to guys 1 meter away just so the pressure was off themselves. And how many times did we fumble!!
The same players make the same mistakes every week but continue to get games.
How many times does Astbury give away stupid free kicks in front of goal?
How many times does Houli poo himself, then mis a target by hand and foot?
How many times will Grigg just throw it into his foot and kick it straight to the opposition?
Bringing in Edwards after being out for so long hurt as he fumbled everything.
Batch is just poo and not even close to AFL standard.
I just wish Dimma would leave Jack deep in the forwardline and try and isolate him more. We have gone back to pushing everyone up to far giving ourselves nothing to kick to when we get it, causing us to play slow footy.
Dimma was out coached today imo.
Really weak performance today by the club, which is disappointing considering the type of footy we had been playing.
Dimma is yet to drop a "senior" player yet due to form- it sends a huge message and I hope he does it this week.
-
We played pathetic for the first 3 quarters. Game style was 2016 version with the same basic errors being made. We went handball happy too many times and our tackle pressure was putrid. Whilst talking putrid, umpire 11 is not AFL standard. He made shocking decisions last week against throw dogs and again today :banghead. At the ground i thought Edwards was the one player who got us back into the game. Gee we need another key forward :help
-
The last quarter comeback was just as much an indictment on us as our pathetic first 3 quarters. We continually pick and choose both as a team and at individual level when it's our turn to go. If we had turned up at the start switched on with the same intensity as we did after 3/4 time we most likely would've had a comfortable victory. Instead we were asleep and so lazy and soft. The scoreboard actually flattered us during the first 3 quarters. Freo definitely should've been 4-5 goals up at half-time.
-
Game was lost at selection, you can't have a CHF that just doesn't compete, Markov was stuffed last week, needed a rest this week and it showed. Why not play Soldo and have Nank as the CHF switch ruckman, he would at the very least give a contest and enable our smalls to have a chance, Elton gives nothing. We need to get reward for our f50 entries, Nank competing would've given us that.
How on earth Dimma allowed Walters and Hill to run free at will is mid boggling, either we had no one that could go with them or just plain stupid. B.Eliss continually looks like he is spent and can't chase or close down opposition space and just concedes possessions without effort. We will never be a good side as long as that mentality exists, should treat every contest as your last
-
I don't mind Houli as a player but one part of his game is the reason why so many want him gone
1.10 left in the last have a look at the Houli play.
He wasn't alone but I thought it was really poor
-

Umpire number 11 is Deboy and agree he was terrible last week. He was the fool who was whistle happy regarding deliberate
His 3 qtr on the siren howler was worse than his pinging of Short last week

This match reminded me of our game against Geelong last year . We were 6 goals up at 3/4 time and looked the goods .
Good teams always find a way to win and don't surrender opportunities like we have . We are not there yet.

After 8 seasons it should be drilled ito them to the point that it's second nature and the fact that it obviously hasn't been is ultimately down to Halfstep...
-
Good sides don't treat opponents with disdain. Hardwick was completely outcoached. A very poor performance.
-
I actually rate Freo.. their recruitment over summer has been first class. So, in hindsight it was a fairly honourable loss......that we should have won.
-
we simply put aren't getting enough offensive footy out of our so called mosquito fleet, 37 disposals combined compared to Freos Hill and Walters getting 66 between them.
It's ok to have the forward pressure etc etc but they need to be able to also run, spread, crumb and basically win enough of their own ball to put scoreboard pressure on also
We won the i50 count again yesterday but couldn't take advantage of it
Oh and im sure being clean with the footy and not fumbling all the time would help, messrs Lambert, Castagna and Butler

Good call. We need class combined with pace so Lloyd must come in as he has class which is needed. Rioli, Edwards and Butler have the pace. Jack, Lloyd and Martin have the class. We just need a decent second tall.

Typical Grigg game- heaps of touches and basically no effect on the game.

You must of watched a different game
You sure you weren't at Etihad ?
Grigg was fantastic for 4 quarters
Pity others couldn't follow suit

Disposal at 31% accuracy at half time.
How fantastic.
-
Grigg would of got an 8 had he kicked that crunch goal in the last
-
Grigg got a lot of handballs in congestion but either turned it over or handballsd into space hoping we'd run onto them.
-
Mr 31%.
Get around him

Mate, you like all the duds.
There is no point debating with you on the Griggs of this world.
He has played some decent footy of late but Sunday's games wasn't one of them.
Anyway, agree to disagree.

With Adelaide, geelong and dogs losing its even more important we get this win. The competition is as wide open right now as any time I can remember.
If there were any time for us to snag a premiership out of no where it'd be this year I reckon.
Not a 'told ya so' quote.. but i remembered this post because I can remember thinking how even the comp was, and our pressure style game could stand up in finals. Look where we are now :gotigers
