Poor kick Griffs. Should have kept running.

[Smokey]

McDonough has what it takes to be a AFL player

He should be in the senior team developing in the middle with vlastuin miles and co.

Agree with you both.  Has footy smarts and you can't teach that.

[mightytiges]

Get stuffed ump. It's not netball.

26 -  41

Connors now has 3.

Ayres tagged him thats how much he was controlling the play

Half time

Richmond    3.2    4.2-26
Port Melb.   2.2    5.11-41

Woeful and worse still soft. Too many Tigers not willing to put their heads over the footy and win the footy.

Griffiths on form would have to replace Vickery & should remain in the team to be let rise to the next level.

Agree TM.

[mightytiges]

That contest on the wing summed us up. 3 talls fly against one Port, we can't take the mark and Port gain possession.

[mightytiges]

Repeat of the second qtr. Outnumbered at contests and we're playing from behind.

26 - 48

5 mins Q3

[mightytiges]

Both players were wrestling yet it's 50m against us. What was Arnot meant to do.

[mightytiges]

4 goals to Connors  .


26 - 54

[mightytiges]

Think of the seniors in the first 10 rounds this year and that's how our VFL side is playing today. Outnumbered and second to the ball at the contests, unaccountable defensively and overuse of happy dicky little handballs offensively.

And then we allow a Port forward to mark unopposed on the goal-line when we had 3 defenders on the line .

26 - 63

[Willy]

awful. Barely touched it in an hour of footy

[Rampstar]

Ive turned off watching them on TV there is not alot of talent coming through our reserves unfortunately. The reserves need a revamp hopefully we draft 5 or 6 kids and that helps the situation.
