Richmond vs North Melbourne - Round 15, 2013

[Lozza]

Need to make the score respectable as % will be important.  Lets face it every ricochet every rebound has gone their way. Its like a perfect storm, Roos can do no wrong, we just need to minimise the damage as the game is beyond our reach.

[crackertiger]

Jake Batchellor and Stephenson having a shocker and costing us badly.

[Andyy]

Tigers not working anywhere near hard enough when they don't have posession. Poor inside50 delivery and nobody standing up. Vickery weak, Riewoldt playing for frees again, back line insipid and slow, nobody running back to support.

Gonna be ugly...

I wouldnt speak too soon, We all know north can crumble to nothing. I still have a slight shimmer of hope

That's pretty much it, sure we could work harder but everything is just running perfectly for them, 20 players around the ball, and it continually seems to land in a roos players lap. Lots of luck but u make ur own luck,  we've still gifted them several dumb ones.

Same as the last thirty years FFS

[mightytiges]

Well. We are seeing what we are truely made of. 54 points down in a final like game tells me that we are simply not ready ! sure we get beat saints and bulldogs by 10 goals but that means nothing. This next half will define our season, we have to come out a completely different side next half.

You get away with just lazily bombing the ball long against the short Bulldog and Saint defenders. We've been tactically destroyed today and we haven't adjusted to North plonking a spare tall defender down back. No working the ball forward to half-forward and then controlling possession looking for a lead up mark 40m by a midsized player.

Thats the truth but then the killer is no one stuffing runs back, 5 -6 north players all sprint down the ground whilst we have 1 or 2.

True. That old fashioned suck punch. A common tactic in Soccer. One side parks the bus putting numbers behind the ball and then waits for the other side to over-commit while attacking and then the first side hits them on the counter with open space to run into and scores.

Most teams do that to us, our game plan is built on possession and conducive to sides playing us like this. Need to be smarter with our ball use and our zone is being picked apart by their run and footskills

[mightytiges]

White on the run and misses.

We get it back and Morris finally goals  .

That's true but we have adjusted in past games. Hopefully the early signs in this quarter is us finally adjusting.

Need to kick the goals though. 3.9 is obviously not good enough especially with the sitters we have missed . Should have 3 goals this qtr already instead of 1.2.

[WA Tiger]

This is very disappointing to say the least!

[mightytiges]

Dusty now misses. Should be 4 goals this qtr.

The goals are between the big sticks Tigers 

[mightytiges]

We're making Hansen look like Carey today  .

[Andyy]

Vickery so weak...

[tiger101]

Looked like we got a lucky bounce their otherwise kangaroos would of got a goal.
