Dumb footy at moment no one is trying to steady to.

Half-time

Richmond    3.3    3.7-25
Melbourne   2.2     6.6-42

Goals: Riewoldt 2, Edwards.

What a quarter of brainless footy that was  .

If you can't make the distance from 40m out then you deserve to lose. At least 4 shots tonight directly in front have fallen short  .

[WilliamPowell]

2nd qtr = pathetic effort or more to the point lack of effort

Couple of blokes need to stand up. We are playing like little kids lost

Distinct lack of leadership out there isn't helping.

[wayne]

We continue to bomb in, Lynch and Jack have 6 players to outmark. The dees go in and it's Gawn and McDonald on 2 shorter defenders.

Top of the square it isn't rocket science 

WP youre going to have a sore head by the end of the night if you keep this up

Wrong team selection will cost us tonight as will the the missed opportunities in the first quarter.

That's the game in a nutshell. They are winning more of the ball and are more efficient with it too going forward.

That inside 50 efficiency rate or lack of it must be our worst on record under Dimma. Amateurish!

Hibberd is killing Dusty tagging him out of the game.

We need others to stand up. We can’t catch a cold so many dropped marks.

Time to end the Naish farce..

More the latter Ramps. They are meant to be professionals yet they are kicking inside 50 and for goal tonight like the little league  .

[WilliamPowell]

What the hell was that by Cotchin and others?

[WilliamPowell]

Reckon we are goneskis

[mightytiges]

And that play sums up our night. Get it forward, don't keep it in there, ballwatching mids, and allow Melbourne to run it down the other end for a goal  .
