Richmond vs Brisbane @ Etihad - Round 17, 2017

[mightytiges]

Despite winning the clearances by 8 and inside 50's by 9, the Tigers failed to capitalize in the first half. Primarily this was due to Brisbane's ability to create intercepts in their defensive half (30-18).

Alex Witherden is having a significant impact in his third game with a game-high 16 disposals, 278 metres gained as well as three inside 50's.

Witherden a geelong falcon. Should get him via trade is most certainly a player

Wow that quarter was bloody poor.

Ridiculously poor. Shades of last week. 

So much for the #insaneconnection between the players and Cotch because most of them arent playing for him or the jumper.

[big tone]

So Rioli's second quarter consistered of a missed handball from 2 meters, a 10m kick to a player that was hot, a chance to grab the footy out of the air and get it going our way instead he preferred not to take body contact and just hits the ball forward to a Brisbane player, missed tackles, falling over and generally looks exhausted while not moving.
Even Dermie who loves the Riolis said he looks like he is running in quicksand.
But he is only 20...

Sometimes you wonder if any of these peanuts played junior footy? 

Lasagna kicks into the man on mark from point blank - moronic & ridiculous! 

How can't  a dual Coleman medalist just go back & slot it from 30 metre on a 45 deg. - unbelievable! 

Stupid dinky cutesy bullcrap around the ground - haven't seen one handball hit a target. Rioli is a liability at the minute as he's forgot the basic fundamentals of the game. 

Players running into one another 

Someone should put on Benny Hill music over the loud speakers. 

I might phone the club and ask for a refund for the last two weeks. How do these bozos get to wear our jumper?!

dude we get your point and agree with it, now open your eyes and look at duds like edwards, caddy etc

They are just as bad, if not worse as they are experienced.

just goes to prove how bad we are when our top 3/4 dont perform.

edwards. LMAO what a lazy good for nothing footballer.

[mightytiges]

The whole team is playing crap. When we're handballing as much as we're kicking and our top possession getters are handballing 3-4 times more than kicking you know there's something majorly wrong. What happened to the team earlier in the year that was the No.1 long kicking side in the comp?

[mightytiges]

That first play of the 3rd qtr sums us up. Going wide, wide & wide.

We get it back and Titch marks 45m out on a 45 degree angle. And he misses. The story of our day  .

39 - 30

[mightytiges]

Grimes running into an open goal and he misses too  .

40 - 30


We've kicked 2.7 since the 18 mins Q1.

[tony_montana]

Bitterly disappointing - after our start this was a game we should've looked at to improve percentage. Continually getting ahead of ourselves. That was appalling and we've now given Brisbane a sniff and belief they can win this.

Castagna wtf dude?! Learn to bury those shots or at the very least to miss slightly instead of diabolically

Dude we get you don't rate Edwards but Rioli makes Edwards look like Dangerfield

[mightytiges]

Lambert hands to Floss who passes to Jack 49m out on the boundary. Miss. At least you can excuse that being a tough shot compared to all the gimmes we've missed.

41 - 30

[Damo]

Dusty has been pathetic

Should lower the contract price hopefully

[mightytiges]

The Tigers have now taken 8 marks inside 50 to the Lions 4. But, they have been extremely poor from set shots, converting just one of their six shots.
