Dimma's dissection - Round 2:

http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2010-04-14/dimmas-dissection-round-2Summary:* From 56 forward 50 entries to only score 9 goals was really disappointing and to be 30 points down before 3/4 time was un-Richmond-like.
* We had more possession and had a disposal efficiency of 74% but there's another stat Champion Data gives us called "giveaways" which quantifies error rates. These "giveaways" are turnovers due to poor disposal or poor judgement straight to the opposition or to the advantage side of an opposition player (as opposed to a "takeaway" which is being beaten by an opponent in a 1-on-1 contest). Against Carlton we had 19 'giveaways' whereas against the Bulldogs we had 35 which is by too many.
Examples:
- Ellis kick out of defensive 50 is marked by Honeychurch -> leads to a Bulldogs' goal.
- Batchelor kick across half-back missed the target and bounces sideways between Ellis & Vlastuin -> Boyd intercepts and leads to a Bulldogs' goal.
- Kick out of defence goes to a contest. We had reasonable representation with Petterd, Hunt & Cotchin defensive side but unfortunately Cotch peels off leaving Bontempelli free. The front and square punch goes straight to Bontempelli -> leads to a Bulldogs' goal.
- A kick out of defence to the wing goes to a 3-vs-3 contest. We are outmarked which should never happen with a 3-vs-3 -> leads to another Bulldogs' goal
Not taking away anything from the Bulldogs but these goals are from our own errors we gave away. We're better than that as a side but we need to erradicate these errors.
* Dimma praised Rance's 13 intercepts [showed vision of them]. He is 1st/2nd in the AFL for this.
* In summary, we know what went wrong against the Bulldogs and we will work on this at training so it's right for the Brisbane game.
