Richmond vs Port Adelaide - Round 15, 2017

[Knighter]

Anyone see Grigg's attempt to tackle on the far wing in that last few minutes? Pathetic!

That's his best tackle for the year too

[The Machine]

Rance and Dusty having shockers. Captain getting pantsed as usual.

Dimwit has no plan B for the 100th time in his career and Prestia is a complete stuffen bust!!!

Prestia really? Almost our best player tonight!

[mightytiges]

Just 19 disposals between Jack and our 4 small forwards; We've also hand just TWO marks inside our F50; Then add another game of woeful goalkicking = Sums up our dysfunctional forward line tonight.

We're also getting smashed in contested footy. So our mids aren't doing their job either. Cotch and Caddy held to just 5 disposals each.


Possies:

Lambert   18
Dusty    17
Ellis     17
Prestia 14
Nank    12
Grigg    12
Astbury 11
Macca   11
Edwards 9
Menadue 9
Castagna 8
Short      8
Rance      7
Markov    6
Grimes    6
Cotch     5
Caddy    5
Jack      5
Stengle 4
Lloyd    4
Butler   3
Rioli     3


Total:  194 - 221

We're also handballing more than we're kicking (94k, 100h) which is 2016 crap.

Getting smashed in contested footy: 62 - 80 

Inside 50s: 29 - 30
Marks In50:  2 - 7
Clearances: 19 - 20  ( centre: 4 - 4)
Tackles:      37 - 30
Hitouts:      12 - 27 ..... Ryder is killing us.
Frees:          5 - 10

Rance is getting tired out trying to get to Dixon with trngeove blocking him and making him physically earn it for every metre. Just let it go and let Ashbury take him. Rance trying to do too much which is then allowing trengrove to look like a star.

Wtf has happened to dustys kicking at goal, looks unbalanced and rushed and is missing gimmes.

Grigg after a very good start to the season has reverted back to status quo, terrible.

Coach needs to extract the digit

What advice is cantshakeatag-Cotchin going to give Rance? And why the hell was he laughing?

Losing isn't funny captain!

Cotchin again having his usual captains game against a top eight team. 

His direct opponent has kicked a goal too. 

You're such a great supporter 
Love to have you in the trenches

I keep it real. You like our captain playing poo? I don't give a crap what the name is, if a player is playing useless footy I'm going to say so especially if the player is a very good player and especially if the player is a Brownlow medalist and OUR captain.


Your backslapping isn't working and hasn't worked for 30 years.

[tony_montana]

Also Rioli needs a big second half or it's twos footy next week son. Stengel not quick, plying 2 not quick smells in him and Lloyd is hurting us

[mightytiges]

9 Tigers with less than 7 disposals to Port's 2. As TM said, we've got too many passengers.

[WilliamPowell]

Um he does not play like Houli. Ellis should be playing this role or Short. We do miss Houli though but Markov is looking ok thus far. Our mids need to lift and we need t use the ball better.

Where I am noticing that we're missing Houli is our kick ins, we've been crap at it tonight. Set up clearly not working

Very true, WP. Our kick-ins have been terrible. We've just given the ball back to Port at their HF line 90% of the time  .

[mightytiges]

Butler to Lambert to Cotch. Chips to Lloyd on 50. Falls short. Jack was isolated with no teammates. Rushed.

27 - 42

[mightytiges]

Sling tackle on Dusty and no free?

[mightytiges]

What was lloyd doing leaping up with his hands down? 

[mightytiges]

Dusty lovely kick from HB to HF to Jack. Titch to attacking 50 and chips it to Cotch. Need a captain's goal? Goal 

Rich  4.9-33
Port  5.12-42

[georgies31]

Said before say it again Lloyd is being gifted games.Cotch always against Port has shockers.Time for seniors players to lift.

[mightytiges]

Has Rance got no stops on tonight?
