- Cornes was more concerned with the lack of basic tactical discipline in play:
1) Rich's first goal - no Tiger on or even near Rich despite him standing next to McCluggage for a long time.
2) Cameron's 3rd goal - Grimes left Cameron to go to the contest but didn't impact on it which allowed Cameron to goal.
3) Bailey's goal - similar to Cameron's. Grimes leaves Bailey, fails to spoil and impact the contest which allowed Bailey to goal.
Cornes said that's 3 conceded goals just there alone that Richmond can go away and fix.
As much as I hate to agree with Cornes, I see these example as more a sign of our lack of discipline during the game than the 50s (two of which were due to poor umpiring
). The players would know well Dimma hates giving up defensive stoppage goals and we gave up at least three (Cameron twice & Bailey)
. Then add the 5 goals from free kicks plus Nank's brainfade handball attempt in defence that gifted Cameron his first and that's 9 of Brisbane's 10 goals due to our own stupid avoidable schoolboy errors
.
