Richmond vs West Coast - Round 3, 2017

[mightytiges]

Needlessly, overpossessing by hand through the middle again = turnover.

Umps pays the Eagles another free in front of goal for shepherding / 3rd man in ruck against Rance .

27 - 36

Frees: 5 - 14 

[mightytiges]

We actually got a free to Butler  . Dusty bombs for a point.

28 - 36

[🏅Dooks]

This umpiring is bizaar

[mightytiges]

Prestia to HF to Cotch. Passes to Conca 47m out. Kick from 50. Goes right.

29 - 36

[mightytiges]

The umpiring is pathetic but we aren't helping ourselves with our turnovers. Dusty's mistake then.

29 - 42

[pmac21]

This is so frustrating to watch. Our kicking is pathetic. 

[mightytiges]

Can one of our forwards play in front for the quick kick forward out of the middle!

Rioli breaks away to Lambert ..well weighted kick to Castagna. Goal 

Rich   5.5-35
WCE  5.12-42

[mightytiges]

Had to go there, Caddy. Uncontested mark to Shuey 15m out of our goal. Where were our forwards?

[mightytiges]

Point to Jack from 50m.

Half-time

Richmond      2.2     5.6-36
West Coast   2.6     5.13-43

Goals: Butler, Castagna, Lambert, Houli, Martin

[Lozza]

It's pretty simple, kick to our own players, just can't be that difficult. If we are going to run the ball then we have to hit the mark with every possession or we will get hit on the transition every time. Also out on the wings we are giving them way too much latitude, need to tighten up there. Think we can win this but have to increase our kicking efficiency by about 20%.

[torch]

Where is Caddy and Prestia?

[🏅Dooks]

If the eagles start kicking straight and the umpires continue along their current path we will get blown off the park in the second half.

Kicking terrible. Overpossessing the ball. Its like a hybrid of last years style and the new style. Dare i say confidence?

Houli, Ellis, McIntosh and Vlastuin very poor decision making. Gee whiz

[🏅Dooks]

Where is Caddy and Prestia?

Caddy is ice cold. Prestia getting amongst it but has had zero impact.
