NAB 3: Richmond vs Port Adelaide @ Etihad

[tony_montana]

We're playing with less men lads... Ease up on the doomsday talk

[🏅Dooks]

Not fit. Not strong

[Go Richo 12]

15 on the ground and we still can't win

[Go Richo 12]

Not fit. Not strong

Was that your excuse when you broke your collarbone, sorry acromion?

[tony_montana]

Last few mins Schulz and Ebert seemed to do a calf and hammy from port. Less interchanges affecting the players?

[The Machine]

Lennon and Broad have been solid in the second half

Broad has a way to go. Has a dip but need to clean up his kicking and decision making. Play well in the VFL and we might see him later in the year but cant replace Batch IMO.

[The Machine]

Won't beat carlton like this

Yes we will.

Didn't break my collar bone and never pretended to be fit enough for top level

People please move on, nothing to see here...non event game and for the most part thats how they played. Dusty obviously affected by his Father's issues and just wanted to push and shove. Titch out for 6-8 weeks and the only injury I was happy to see was Hampster who looks to have reinjured whatever he had bandaged up, the sooner we discharge him the better.

Disagree, will make a few blues as he gets used to the pace of afl this season but already offers more than Batch imo, is quick and put on some big spoils 3rd man up. Will play round 1 imo

I'll put it out there, Hamspson is better than Maric at the centre bounce.

But worse than every player in the comp. around the ground.....

Maybe but we looked insipid.
Really basic turnovers under little pressure.

Might have to cancel the intra club next week?

His marking was more laughable than usual.

Yet obviously still a roller coaster of emotion for you....

Well that quarter was atrocious, fumble fumble and no run and carry. Geez we miss Miles but honestly based on what i just watched and with Titch likely missing for quite a while I am feeling very pessimistic about the season ahead.

I am particularly worried about Dusty who I feel is turning into a bit of a one trick pony. The opposition are waiting for the fend and now are handling him better one on one. He has no speed so is constantly getting caught and his disposal is not the best either. To me we seem like a team of scrappers with no x-factor.

Vickery is woeful tonight, constantly losing marking duals and giving away stupid frees, I hope its just a hangover from the concussion. I know its NAB 3 but really I think the players need a bit of a rocket given we are only a couple of weeks off the start of the season and as we all know our slow starts to seasons has killed us in the past.
 
I also hope Gale is watching in respect to any contract extension for Hardwick because again I know its just NAB Challenge but really....showed nothing in that first half.
