Richmond vs Essendon --- Dreamtime in Perth --- Round 12, 2021

[Buddysucks]

This is the pure definition of winning ugly.

[mightytiges]

Balta has been a wall in defence tonight.

Well done Graham. Kept running for the handball receive and goaled  .

Rich 11.8-74
Ess    6.8-44

[mightytiges]

How many simple targets have we stuffed up and missed tonight  . A choice between Caddy and bakes and we allow the one Bomber to contest and spoil .

[mightytiges]

They got that goal because of our two failures before to hit targets clearing from defence to the wing  .

74 - 51

[mightytiges]

Geez we're getting smashed in the centre clearances this qtr  .

[WilliamPowell]

Bolton's effort there was pathetic

[pmac21]

Tackling is pathetic.

[Rampsation]

We are a bit short in defence. Miller should be playing.

[mightytiges]

Another throw allowed in the tackle tonight.

74 - 57

[Buddysucks]

We are grasping at fresh air all night. Cotch, Houli need to give their pay packet back tonight.

[WilliamPowell]

Lucky!

Their turnover got us that goal

[mightytiges]

The problem is in the guts. We're getting smashed and they are getting easy F50 entries while we have to start every attack from defence.

Good work Jack. We only score on transition from defence or off a turnover like just then.

Goal to Dusty 

Rich  12.8-80
Ess     8.9-57

[Andyy]

Umpiring terrible but largely going our way.

Houli needs to retire. He is slow and losing every contest.

FMD why do we play Pickett in the ruck when we have both Chol and CCJ in the team???

[crackertiger]

Cotch is cooked I think.

[mightytiges]

Cotch is cooked I think.

Is his head in the game? His focus this week has (rightly) been on his sick kid.
