Richmond vs West Coast @ Optus Stadium, Rnd 9, 2018 - Top of the Table clash!!!

[Rampsation]

We got away with last year and up till now. You cant do it against Naitanui but maybe it still works against other teams. You cant throw the baby out with the bath water here based on 1 loss.

All we need know to top this off is a major injury

[mightytiges]

We can't afford to have our mids and HFs having a shocker against sides with big forwards. In our two losses Jenkins kicked 5 and today Darling has 6. North tried it last week too but our mids did their job and we kept Ben Brown quiet.

Georgie misses.

70 - 122

[mightytiges]

Nank again finds Jack. Miss.

71 - 122

Our defence has been disorganised and crap. Often they're not doing the simple things like just keeping their direct opponent in check. Even champions have off days so it's not the end of the world but when you can make Darling look like Tony Lockett, something is wrong.

Personally I think Rance needs to know when to go back to his 2015 or even 2016 playing style. i.e. defend first before being the play maker. its frustrating to see an the WCE forwards take so many easy marks inside their F50

[Rampsation]

not very often we concede 120+ points.

Well we now hold the largest crowd for an AFL game in Perth. 57,616.

[mightytiges]

Cotch head knock?

[Rampsation]

Any of the young talls showing anything in the two's?

[mightytiges]

Sums up our day. They can't miss while we have. Shot is OOTF.

I agree with this Rance hasn't  been great this year.Gets beaten in so many one on ones for my liking.

Chol has improved significantly but not sure if he's ready for AFL. Moore can mark it but his goalkicking is ordinary of late.
