maybe just maybe Hardwick was hanging him  ;D
showing everyone in a practice match how mcmahon should never wear a senior jumper again :lol

not as silly as it sounds TM, these praccy matches are just as important to black mark players as to highlight those than could be called on for depth...I reckon rance, Gus and white and put a black mark next to their respective chances in the short term whilst a few others have enhanced their prospects as in Connors and perhaps Big Browney :thumbsup

Sandilands must have thought it was Christmas last night. Virtually every kick-in going straight down his throat. Dimma, having them kicking long in the direction of the opposition ruckman especially one 211cm tall isn't a smart ploy  :P.

Simmons and Vickery are a long way from big marking targets

Our kick ins are a DISGRACE.
The appoinment of Justin Leppitsch will need to be looked at.
Why  did we kick long to Sandilands is under13,s stuff :banghead
The whole game plan is flawed, if there is a game plan.

We need a tall who can take a contested grab. At the moment our team is very deficient in this area.Having looked at Coburg over the weekend there is no great hope down there either. Need to recruit a ruckman who can take a contested mark. Vickery is going to take a while to develop.

I don't think one kick out actually went down the centre, maybe a couple but most went down the flanks with the right hand side (looking out from the goals) being favoured by Deledio in particular.

i am starting to question Hardwick.

i don't understand why Richmond "STOPPED" attacking when we were 26 points in front?

Fremantle hit 31 points, nine goals in a row.

i am very worries about our forward line structure and our match plan!

we need to kick goals, not defend by sending Riewoldt loose in defense.

our kick-ins and clearing the ball out of defence is horrible! we are struggling!

Simmonds is battling hard.

Vickery is trying! he is still a cub!

i just do not think Richmond are "Hungry" enough kicking goals!

our zoning is no good, we should just play "one-on-one" football!

our zoning was very easy to get through!

What frustrated me the most was that we kicked in continually to Sandilands' side of the ground.  We should have had either Reiwoldt or Astbury coming down the opposite flank as the designated target, letting the our ruckmen become decoys and taking their opponent out of the contest.

Coz they were buggered after the first quarter, and took a bit to get back into it in the second, by the 3rd Freo came back hard.  They have not had the endurance to play the game plan since the start of the year, any dumb bastard can see that, it will come.  The first quarter showed what they can do, they looked bloody good, smart positioning, good skills and when they muffed it they recovered well.  Call me positive poiter, but stuff it, when they get more match fitness, they will be able to sustain that pressure for longer, experience will help em know how to apply it and when to ease off.  Heaps to work on but its getting better each game, were rebuilding so, not phased at all, its moving up the curve from what I can see.

hopefully Newman, Deledio and all of our defense/midfield/ruck spend their entire week learning how to kick out and how to present when the other team stacks their fwd line. surely fatigue can't be the reason. this crap started early in the 2nd quarter, and there's no way a professional sporting team is fatigued after 25 minutes on the field.

Well in their defence (the players kicking out) they must have been instructed to kick out to the flanks by the coaching staff. There is no way that after kicking out there so many times the coach would allow it without sending the runner out to tell them to kick it up the guts.

We clear the ball much better when Deledio strolls out of defence and puts is 60+ meters up the ground over the pack with our fast midgets running onto it
