Richmond vs Fremantle @ Optus Stadium --- Round 17, 2024

[WilliamPowell]

Dusty's 300th was our GF. And we somehow managed to play it the week before and not rock up.

Since then and I think for rest of year we will be awful. Almost similar feel to when Jade Rains was our captain and we were just counting down the wild till the end. I don't recall another season like that, except this one.

Directionless and lack of growth is hard to watch. It will come but allot of change is needed. Hard watch right now

Who? Jade Rains? Captain?

Clearly auto correct WP
But it’s a good question

Kane Johnson?
Jeff Hogg?
Tony Free?
Mark Lee?

I went to the game , it was not pretty and the weather was like Antartica .

We are clearly the worst team in the competition. Bolton will look good in purple.

Don't you remember when Geoff Raines' other son Jade was our captain? 

Unless he meant "Jade Rawlings" and "coach" not captain...

The question for me what happens from here and end of year super important. Do we go back in the wilderness for another 37 years or we act like one of the big boys ?.



Our president needs to stand up basically not existent for me , while our CEO role is a super important. Not in favour of hiring within we made that mistake previously. The footy department needs to be held accountable to Livingstone and Blair lift their game to many poor decisions of late. Super important review for me.

Tigers competitive between the arcs, bang average elsewhere

Richmond played well early and in patches throughout the game, but ultimately weren’t good enough as has been the case for much of the season.

The Tigers were very competitive between the arcs, beating Freo at clearance (43-37) and for contested possessions (135-133).

However, they struggled inside both attacking and defensive 50 which is essentially where the game was won and lost.

Adem Yze’s side ended up with just 7.12 from 47 inside 50s which just isn’t going to win you many games of footy. They had just as many inside 50 marks (12) as the Dockers but were unable to test the home side with scoreboard pressure.

Down the other end, the Tigers allowed the Dockers too much time and space around forward 50 which resulted in Josh Treacy booting five and the likes of Michael Walters, Michael Frederick and Hayden Young contributing two each.

It felt like the Tigers scrapped and fought in the clinches but were broken up on the outside, at times making life easy for their opponents.

They currently hold Pick 1 in the 2024 draft though…
