Dreamtime @ the 'G - Richmond vs Essendon - Round 10, 2017

[Lozza]

As with the last 3 games, if you can't kick the ball through the big white sticks then you may as well pack up and go home. It's simply unprofessional and not up to AFL standard and if they don't practice it at training then something is seriously wrong.

And yes the ump has done it again, how the hell when sprinting towards goal as a defender do you know that the player behind has pulled up. Another controversy goes against us, it's happening week in week out.

[JP Tiger]

The deliberate rushed behind called against Short was the worst decision EVER!

Half-time

Richmond   4.4    6.9-45
Essendon   6.0    8.1-49

Goals: Edwards 2, Riewoldt, Caddy, Elton, Lloyd.

[Lozza]

Does everyone else have their heart in their mouth when Prestia has the ball. By foot it's a deadset lottery whether it goes anywhere near where it's intended, does he have a prosthetic knee or something.

This summary x10000000000.

Yep, it's a battle between our pathetic goalkicking and the disgraceful umpiring for ultimate amateur status.

[Fluffy Tiger]

Dont normally comment on umpires much but tonight they have been a disgrace. Our kicking too but thats nothing new

[Simonator]

Despite being able to be well in front if we kicked straight, still haven't liked how we've played. Pressure isn't there like it was in the first 5 weeks

[Simonator]

29 tackles to the half.. like last year

I have my heart in my mouth with most things our players do  .

Dusty, Rance and maybe only one or two others I've forgotten are consistently playing AFL standard tonight. We just have players that have too many brainfades that cost us goals. Even that last pathetic umpiring decision which lead to Essendon's last goal was originally set up on our HF line by Grimes coughing up the ball away from teammates out into the corridor for Essendon rebounders to run onto.

It looks like opposition clubs have decided to flood against us to get numbers back to combat our small forward pressure knowing that if they get out and rebound we are too slack on defensive transition.

[mightytiges]

Dusty again. Finds Caddy on the lead 30m on a 45 degree angle. Goal 

Back in front 

Rich  51
Ess   49

[mightytiges]

Very lucky Dusty.

Now you need to kick this jack. Misses another sitter  .

52 - 49

[mightytiges]

As I said, we have too many brainfades.
