In my lifetime
- i have never seen a richmond player make such a bad mistake as bad as millers pass to jack at the start of the 2nd. And ive watched greg tivendale stream down the middle of the mcg only to fall over several times and the 2001 / 2005. National drafts.
You can argue that it was only a two goals mistake (a missed rfc goal and a rebound ade goal, 12 point play). However momentum is key in football and teams over 2 hours have their tails up at different stages.
The context; to be 40 points up so early in the game interstate. Vs a quaility side. And to have ones center half forward not to back himself and shot from 30 meters out, to me, is true heart breaking.
This is the best i have ever seen our list and potential and age structure but there equal cause for worry as much. as joy
