Richmond vs Hawthorn @ the MCG --- Round 2, 2021

[mightytiges]

We are gifting them easy goals  .

[mightytiges]

Thanks Dusty. Always there when we need him to. Straight out of the middle and bangs it through  .

Rich  8.7-55
Haw  5.1-31

Again the ball is allowed to just waltz out of our F50 for a set shot to the Hawks. Lucky they missed.

That last play sums us up.  Poor inside 50 entry with no pressure.  23 points at half time.  Feels like we could be 63 up. 
C'mon tigs, let's crush them in the 2nd half

[Buddysucks]

There is no point blasting it inside 50 on top of the key forwards head if we don’t have anyone front and square. It’s coming out of our F50 way too easy.

Half-time

Richmond   4.4    8.7-55
Hawthorn   1.1     5.2-32

Goals: Lynch 2, Riewoldt 2, Martin, Balta, Aarts, Castagna.


Playing too casually and too cute.
Most of our inside F50 entries have been lazy bombs.
Forward half pressure non-existent so it's turned into a rebounding game which is keeping Hawthorn in it. Most of our goals that quarter were from centre clearances rather than our usual forward-half turnover game.

I’m not sure why we choose to chip it around inside 50 when not required. It’s overuse and overuse brings mistakes. Sometimes that unselfish team play is overdone.

That tackles inside F50 stat is telling. Just one tackle in a whole half is not us playing our normal way.

Hopefully Dimma gave the boys a rocket at half-time to re-focus and fix our F50 entries and forward pressure.

Get the skipper off. 

[mightytiges]

Can we stop kicking it straight to Hawk defenders  .

[mightytiges]

Three straight kicks inside 50 that went to Hawk defenders or their advantage. Every time the Tiger is out of position rushing to try to get to the contest so why is the ball going there?!

[pmac21]

Senior players.  Cotchin, Jack, Pretia, Lynch time to bloody stand up.  Playing soft footy

[pmac21]

Tackling pressure right off

[mightytiges]

Dropping sitters . Geez we are really ordinary today. Lucky they missed.
