Disgrace!

Can't tackle, can't run, horrible forward line structure!

Worst fwd line structures.

Dimmer is limited in the art of adaptability

[Chuck17]

Get Brett Ratten

I think Voss said it three time in a row on Fox after the game.  He said that Richmond players just don't work or run hard enough when they don't have the ball.

BINGO!

[Simonator]

That was blindingly obvious. It's having a coach/captain that sets the standards of how they run that matters.

[kingkingston]

must win a final next season to save his job you would think

Voss pls

For me i think the players lost it. They were always a couple of steps behind. In the few times we did have the ball there was no spread and it put the ball carrier under a lot of pressure. 2 way running was non existent as well.

I don't know if it's because the players got complacent or if they're just burnt out from the late season charge but they looked like they were running on the spot all day.

The Port players backed each other to win the 50/50 contests and sprinted forward to receive the ball. If we had of won the 50/50 contests early we would have scored quickly ourselves and made them more accountable. The game was literally lost in the first 5 minutes of the game when we couldn't absorb the pressure and win the ball.

The only bad decision I felt we made strategically at a coaches level was allowing Port to have the extra man in defense. This created the sling shot football which we were always going to lose when they were confident and ahead on the score board. Cotchins decision to kick against the wind really was a bad one in retrospect.

Ultimately Port were just far to good - their pressure and run killed us 

[Yeahright]

It astounds me that there extra man if defence was able to have an impact but ours was non existent. Even when we did somewhat slow them down and hold up their "slingshot" play they were still able to find an open man inside F50

Last time we played, we just manned the loose up and beat them easy.

Wouldn't have mattered because we were arse yesterday but still would have been nice to have tried it anyway.

I mentioned in another thread - that our best wouldn't have been good enough anyway, Port were incredible, but yeah would've been nice to try it
