Preseason 2020 match 2: Richmond vs GWS @ Wagga Wagga

[Knighter]

Weak as pee this performance. Make to look stupid by a bunch of softie pretty boys

Now they are missing shots but only 5 mins to go.

94 - 108

[Knighter]

Defence looks weak and soft with Short, Broad and Houli. Not interested in winning their own ball.

It's preseason. Main thing is get some match fitness, run in the legs and most importantly no injuries. Hopefully Lambert will be okay for Thursday week.

Bolton going off clutching his right ankle. They are hoping it's only cramp.

Good game of pre season footy. Coleman Jones and Stack in Dow a little bit away but he runs to the right spot.

[Knighter]

Prestia, Edwards and Cotchin not enough of the ball today. Kelly, Cogs, Whitfield and Greene ran around doing what they liked in comparison

[torch]

Disappointing.

Too easy and open going forward GWS.

We have to stop the short kicks from HF to that 40m mark.

Agree that our defence looks WEAK.

Jack looks slow and I think the F50 entries are already a worry.

Bombing it in or missing leads and creating our turnover.

Stack and Pickett INs.

Short and Broad too scared to get hurt.

Cameron - dirty act on Lambert.

Nice warm up.

I like how we are still conservative with our possession and want pressure footy to create turnover.

Still won contested possession.
Still won inside 50s.
Still won centre clearances.
Our tackling and pressure was ok but a lot room for improvement.

There were glimpses of pressure footy throughout the game obviously we will be ramping that up as the season progresses. I like that Baker isn’t in defence.


We need to improve our inside 50 entries
Our pressure can always improve
Our defensive set up and cohesion with our back six needs some honing. Stack looks good there and their are good signs. CCJ looks good and very capable both in Ruck and up forward.

Signs are good early that it will be another entertaining season 

Bring on round 1
