Richmond vs Brisbane @ the 'Gabba --- Round 16, 2023

[Chuck17]

Surprised  Brisbane didn’t get a 50 for Macca hitting Berry with his chin

So rumours are Dusty wasn't the only one fighting flu symptoms vs the Lions & may in part be a reason for the lackadaisical performance. Who really knows whether true or not, or if it is how much it impacted.

Bribane forward Lincoln McCarthy has been banned for one game for striking Richmond's Kamdyn McIntosh during the Lions' big win over the Tigers on Thursday night.

Right in front of the umpire but no free kick

Exactly 

I am not suggesting for a second that it would have made any difference to the result

But....

At that stage of the game we were still in it. It allowed Berry I think it was the easiest goal

It’s really the principal of it. And all the other free kicks not paid. I’ve never been one to bash the umpires but the incorrect disposals NOT paid were just outrageous

Get games in the kids we're missing the opportunity this year we a never going to make finals what we won 3 in a row against middle of the road sides . Let's see who sinks or swims.Mini hasn't even debut one new kid yet mindset has to change.

Totally agree. Need to give them experience.  Failure to do so is not looking at all to the future.

He is coaching to win the coaches job, otherwise kids would have been played.

I doubt we will beat the swans to be fair, and if we manage to that's half a game outside the 8 with crows and dons to play off.

Play some bloody kids. Some like banks have earned it.

RICHMOND

This was a jarring and uncharacteristic performance from Richmond. The Tigers came into Thursday night’s match against Brisbane with renewed hope under interim coach Andrew McQualter after three wins from their past four games. But McQualter was handed his first hefty loss in charge, going down by 81 points as Richmond’s hopes of a late push for the finals took a hit. The Tigers went into half-time with just 1.7 (13) – their lowest half-time score against Brisbane since their final meeting against them as the Bears in Round 18, 1996.

In the votes

The Tigers’ defence was put under enormous pressure by Brisbane, which conjured 68 inside 50s to Richmond’s 38. Noah Balta, Nathan Broad and Nick Vlastuin all had at least 20 disposals and eight intercepts each as they tried admirably to stop the onslaught. Jacob Hopper was his side’s best midfielder and could hold his head high, booting 2.1 from 22 disposalssals and six tackles.

Room for improvement

Dual premiership Kangaroo David King summed up Richmond’s performance bluntly yet aptly at half-time on Fox Footy: “Richmond can’t win it, they can’t move it and they can’t stop it. It’s a classic night where everything is going wrong.” The Tigers simply weren’t tough enough at the contest, while their slow reaction time at stoppage meant they were exposed in defence. Individually, Liam Baker wasn‘t at his effiecient best while Shai Bolton didn’t hit the scoreboard and struggled to have an impact. It was the Tigers’ biggest loss since Round 23, 2016.
