Richmond vs Geelong @ the MCG - Round 12, 2019

[mightytiges]

Did you guys see what just happened to Vlaustin while he was marking?  Rata literally slid through his legs and took him out, not even contesting the mark I can't stuffing believe he got no free for that

Yep we're getting screwed by the umps once again. Frees 6 - 10.

Below the knee contact against Floss.

Clear goal disallowed because the reviewer looked at every angle except the one that showed a clear goal  .

Dropped mark paid to Ratugolea in front of the sticks.


Having said that we're doing ourselves no favours. Smashed in and around the contest like last week:
(Geelong has regularly been first to the ball, leading 27-13 in hard ball gets, 23-15 in post-clearance loose ball gets and 88-65 in contested possessions), wasting our F50 entries mostly with wishful bombs, and leaking goals on the rebound and D50. Pathetic to score just 3 behinds from 13 entries in the 2nd qtr while the Cats kicked 7.2 (9 shots) from just 12 entries.

In better news, Ash Barty is in to the French Open final.

Now if our players could just dig deep like she did, when can win this game.

Rioli a couple of pee poor attempts to tackle that quarter.
If you cannot get a kick at least stick your tackles.
He almost looks disinterested to me.

Missing jack and Nank big time. They have a tall which can mark the long down the line exit kicks. Same happened with Cox in prelim and naughton. We need a mobile tall to actually clunk marks and not just let them play kick mark footy

We didn't (perhaps couldn't on form) bring another tall in when Astbury went out. Forces Balta back which IMO is his weakest position right now and doesn't allow us the flexibility to move him (such as into the ruck when Soldo is spudding it up like he was in that 2nd qtr).

Look umpires given us a hard time. But gez hit a target and don't waste our forward entrys and just silly mistakes basic stuff.Midfield can't deliver a entry.

Not defending him but our tackling efforts as a team that quarter were hopeless. Geelong players breaking multiple tackles in a row to break into space  . What happened to us pinning the arm! If you can't do the basics of the game then you going to win.

They kick them we don't tonight  .

17 - 52

[Owl]

we just go to poo after some crap decisions a and a bit of pressure.  We look like we have put the cue in the rack

[Owl]

So different from 2017, miss those hungry unrelenting bastards

[Owl]

Time to grease our creases, its gonna get ugly

[Go Richo 12]

This is disgusting

[pmac21]

That's 10 in a row to Geelong.

It's getting a little embarrassing effort wise

[big tone]

Hawkins gets all his marks on leads- play Grimes on him and put Balta on the ball. Balta looks lost in the backline.

Why are we falling over all the time? 

[pmac21]

This is a 2016 type effort
