Richmond vs Melbourne - Round 5, 2017

[mightytiges]

Geez we've fumbled and hesistated in possession tonight and it's cost us dearly


And we miss again (prestia) 

52 - 73

[tony_montana]

Just not good enough

Geez it burns saying that against this mob

[Owl]

apparently they can throw the stuffing ball all night or drop it

[Owl]

well they have been farming top draft picks for the past decade or so, was bound to start paying off sooner or later

If you didn't think Caddy was slow then watch this game again and you'll see clearly how slow he is.

[mightytiges]

Lovely tap Nanks to Prestia who finds grigg. Another shot after the siren. He also misses 

Same number of scoring shots but we're down 20 

3/4 time

Richmond    3.1      6.6     7.11-53
Melbourne   3.4      7.6     11.7-73

Goals: Riewoldt 4, Grigg, Castagna, Butler.

[mightytiges]

1.5 to 4.1 that quarter. Bad (goal)kicking is bad footy as they say.

We always dish up this grinding crap against the rah-rahs  .

[Simonator]

May be the hopeful tiger in me talking but I think we'll win. We've done enough to hang in, couple
Bounces go our way and we just might turn it around.

[Owl]

someone needs to crush Viney's larynx for him too

I cannot stand watching tigers when they place like this.  Lack of intensity and generally flat. 
You can't expect to play finals when you lose these games. 
We should run over the top of the here but of course we all know that we won't. 

[Lozza]

Has Prestia ever kicked a running goal? Seems totally lost when the goals are in front of him. They have no ruckman and another player down. Good test for how hard this side is prepared to run. Our last quarter's have been strong so by rights we should be capable of out running them.

[tony_montana]

In all fairness every stuffing bounce of th ball has gone their way tonight, just hate it bc we let this club bully us, I'd rather go down swinging and go all out attack than die a death of a thousand cuts trying to hang on playing negative 2016 footy. Go for broke and make these downhill skiers worry about going the other way, ATM they are just bossing every single contest, we've rarely won a stoppage tonight, got to have a crack

[Owl]

So many were just ball watching while packs of Melbourne players ran the ball back the other way, jogging it in lazily...have they all got the flu, or Ebola or something?

Yep. They have injuries on the bench which would be affecting their rotations but they are running harder and getting more numbers to the ball  .

[tony_montana]

And they are 2 men down

Smh
