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

[Francois Jackson]

good to beat essendon the cheats and see some descent games from bellis, and continued good form from grigg, rance and astbury.

prestia continues to prove what a dud pick he was for pick 7.

Astbury has been great support for Sir Rancealot down back. I didn't even mind his faux pas given his other efforts all night long.

Prestia will get better

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Couple of things:-
Don't mind what Lambert is bringing to the team.
Bellis had hid best game, any different view solid first require a concussion test
Defense working well, god help us if rance gets injured.

Was a good win. bombers cracking in, we are clearly better

[Simonator]

I'm not a fan of lambert. Must be upgraded on. Can't wait to see what we do with our picks at the end of the year

Agree Lambert tagging role has been a brilliant invention. As in Grigg's new lease on life. Hats off to whoever is responsible for this.

I can't stand BEllis but ge he was good tonight.

Still very concerned at our obvious game plan of kicking long when opponents get numbers back. We are so small that it's very easy to defend against. Shown in our high inside50s but very low conversion.

So what are we doing different or other teams doing that didn't happen in the first 5 rounds. From memory we were the most efficient team inside forward 50, guessing we are one of the worst currently.

Noticed last night when we did bomb it in we rarely had anyone at the back of packs, surely this would be a standard tactic, ask Eddie Betts.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Agreed Lozza, Dan Butler was dangerous in those situations and so perhaps we regain that when he returns next week

[eliminator]

Rance was outstanding. Ellis played his best game for the club for a long time. Astbury was good. I thought Lambert played well. His tackling was good. Rioli's tackling and pressure was very good. I thought Cotchin really played a good game. Bolton looks a real find. Menadue showed something in the second half. Short did not have a good game thought he was pretty average and it is a really worry regarding Elton. Hurley had a field day.

Teams are flooding back with huge numbers to nullify our speed in an open fwd line not to mention Jack was starting to look very dangerous. It's a game of cat and mouse now, to see which system cracks first. As long as our team frontal pressure stays strong and doesn't allow teamscheap easy goals out the back we'll win more than we lose.

In the comp ATM you have some teams playing this flood/multiple loose men in defence (Essendon last night, Melbourne, Adelaide, Collingwood and Carlton probably do it more than most sides)  and some sides like us looking to play with frontal pressure to cause multiple turnovers in the front half. If our structures stay sound and we make it very hard for teams to break through for easy goals, they'll look for other ways as the season progresses.
