Richmond vs GWS @ Spotless Stadium, Rnd 17, 2018

[Owl]

Castagna's only saving grace is his pressure and chasing, If he could kick goals he would be bigger than Eddie Betts with the opportunities he gets.  He wins a lot of ball.

Whatever the result tonight I am so over Houli 

Should have come in through the reserves. Has no touch.

[georgies31]

Got to take our chances big time way to many misses.Take our time to rushing play.

[Owl]

Houli ?  Htf did you pull him out of all the fuckups tonight? LOL  He just got back in the side and he is playing fine

[mightytiges]

We've had only 17 tackles. That's terribly low  .

Richmond's 17 first half tackles is their lowest return from any first half of their 2018 season, failing to surpass the previous low mark of 19 tackles recorded against St Kilda in Round 10.

Dion Prestia has enjoyed the best first half of his injury-interrupted season. His 17 disposals and five inside 50's are both team-high measures for the first half, and he was rewarded with a goal just before half time.

GWS have launched 4.1.25 from their attacking midfield zone in the first half of tonight's match. The Giants average 24 points per game launched from this zone, the sixth-lowest average of any side in the competition this year.

Exactly give some time.

Martin has kicked it to an Oppo player four times

[georgies31]

Up the anti in pressure and tackling to.

[mightytiges]

B Ellis who is he? Wow. Best half I’ve seen him play ever more of that please.

Agree, Tigeritis. Brandon has played well.

[tdy]

Too slow to kick it Shai

Shai  holds on to it for too long and tries too much. He's inexperienced. Should be better by now but it is what it is

Happy to give him time but IMO first game back should have Eden in the VFL.  Woeful thus far

[mightytiges]

We've been scragged by the jumper without the ball 3 times in the first 2 minutes yet no frees  .

[tdy]

I wouldn't say woeful seemed OK to me

[mightytiges]

That was a mark to Ellis. Hello front on contact, ump! 

[Owl]

whats with punching marks out of our hands decisions after they have grabbed them, thats twice tonight
