Richmond vs Essendon @ the M.C.G. - Round 22, 2015

[mightytiges]

Ivan great tap to Dusty. Long and it's a ball-up. Lennon blind snap is OOTF.

[mightytiges]

Shocking kick on wing allows the Bombers to go inside 50 and they pull a goal out of nowhere  .

24 - 18

[mightytiges]

Classy play by Lennon on the boundary. Lids couldn't make up his mind and goes for a snap that bounces through for a point.

Grigg to Lids and his bouncing shot misses again.

26 - 18

[mightytiges]

We've missed plenty  and they can't miss  .

26 - 24.

Back to dumb dumb dumb footy.

[mightytiges]

That was dumb Grimes. Ran back into traffic where all the Bombers were.

This is an embarrassment.

 

[Knighter]

Stiffen bloody useless hacks

[mightytiges]

Get stuffed, ump! Paying a long kick deliberate in the wet .

[mightytiges]

TV gets out in space and then spots up Lids 35m out. Goal  .

Back in front thankfully.

Rich 32
Ess  30

[mightytiges]

Ivan, why tap it back Essendon's direction when all your teammates were running forward?

[mightytiges]

Dusty crumbs but his bouncing snap is touched through.

Dusty gets it back and fires but the goalumpire calls it behind. Looked through from the TV camera angle.


Half-time

Richmond   1.4    4.10-34
Essendon   2.0    5.0-30

Goals: Vickery 2, Deledio, Maric

Just so many times that I've said to myself, "How can a team with a chance at a top four spot dish up this rubbish?"  There's gotta be something wrong with a group that cannot motivate themselves.

[mightytiges]

With 15 more inside 50s and 9 more scoring shots, we should be 5 goals up by now. Bad kicking is bad footy and we've kept Essendon in it as a result .

[Knighter]

I'd take Stevie J over that flog Jack any day. Playing like a fool.

[Lozza]

Kicking for goal in the wet should simply not be this bad, even with a wet ball you should be able to kick a ball straight for Gods sake. You can almost sense that this is one of those games that no matter what we do we are destined to lose. The longer the Bombers are in the game the harder its going to be to win tonight, we need to put scoreboard pressure on so that they drop off. Our poor conversion in front of goal is just inviting them back in the game. Am sure all agree that the game so far has been one of the more frustrating games this season to watch.
