Richmond vs Norf @ Etihad - Round 11, 2017

[Yeahright]

Well folks strap yourself in because this is going to be a standard Richmondy finish. Started seeing the signs late in that quarter by getting too cute and missing sitters. Should be at least 8 goals up.

Brilliant call...oh wait

Deserves what it got, any reference to a Wil Anderson joke deserves trashing.

Actually thought the Roos blew their chances on a couple of occasions. Another goal or two in the last and our guys would have well and truly got the jitters but luckily they made as many clangers as we did. Good win in the end but we just have to learn to be a bit more clinical with our execution to finish these sides off much earlier in games.

Never going to lose after that burst in the 3rd qtr. People seem to forget we cam from BEHIND against WCE, Demons and Magpies earlier this year. Kangas in that class, nowhere near Bulldogs or GWS...

[eliminator]

Kangaroos are fast starters the fact we kept with them in the first quarter critical. Third quarter was very good but we could have won by a much greater margin if we had been kicking straight. Tackling a standout.

Best win of the year .

What did people think of Prestia tonight?

I thought pregame that we should have rested him to give him a couple of weeks to get over what I presume is knee soreness.

But I thought he was good tonight.

Best game for us so far.

Had Dion next best for us after Dusty.

Agree. Really impressed by his game. His vision was very good and did some very clever things including the underground handpass.

Big call.

Melbourne?

[Slipper]

Agree. Really impressed by his game. His vision was very good and did some very clever things including the underground handpass.

I really liked that passage of play early in the second quarter where he ran inside 50 but was tight against the boundary. He only just missed kicking a goal.

But as Richo called it in the game commentary. Prestia, although he had the shot and missed, it was clear that he had had a good look inside and sized up his options while belting in towards goal.

When they showed a replay, you could just see him looking at his options and making a decision. As Richo said, so many players in that situation either kick to the top of the square and hope, or blaze away and miss a teammate standing on their own 20m out from goal dead in front.

What struck me was how much time he seemed to have. I think the really good always seem to have that time, no matter what pressure they are under.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

I thought it was an ordinary game. Fumbles, turnovers, mis kicks/handballs/marks.
We were given momentum on a platter in that 3rd term with 3 50 metre penalties and took our chances over the first 15 minutes in that quarter.

We have played better in each game apart from Adelaide, Freo and maybe Brisbane.

Having said that, I loved every minute watching their supporters tortured, pained faces as we gradually overwhelmed the caravan gypsies and consigned their season to dust.

Nah he knows them just not the type of guy to belt it out

[MintOnLamb]

I was at a north game years ago on a friday at the g where we kicked like 10 goals in the first quarter, game over, that was great, so was this game, loved it all, plus i think Cotch was fantastic. Prestia, the little hamster, is freeing him up.
