Richmond vs St Kilda @ Marvel --- Round 3, 2022

[georgies31]

Dimma needs to make hard calls simply on players senior ones to. His to loyal to George ,Aarts types to for what. Fitness is a big issue hasn't been right last 2 seasons.

Last few seconds watching George fall all over the place sums up where were at
 

[Buddysucks]

He’s a headless chook.

Open up the changes for next week thread. I have a few suggestions.

The only positive I can come up with is that we've done this in rounds 1 and 3 rather than losing a Grand Final in this way like the Bulldogs did last year.

There's a whole carcass of crap we served up for us to pick over, but in saying that, my two key takeaways from the game are still:

1) The umpiring was atrocious and is far too prominent in outcomes these days. The final free kick differential was BoG for St Kilda with easily the most meters gained

2) Footy in 2022 absolutely sucks. Stinks. Appalling. Almost ... almost unwatchable. Talk about taking a great game--a unique global game--and slowly turning it into every other sport on the planet. No pressure anymore. It's just garbage viewing. Makes me want to vom, but I'd rather string up all the unaccountable crooks at AFL house and vom on them instead.

Agree with your last point. Don't bother with any other games now, barely want to watch the tiger's

Dimma needs to make the hard calls on a few senior players they a struggling and cannot run out games the past is past we need to rejuvenate and blend the kids in.To loyal to his troops George ,Ross ,Aarts how isn't RCD getting a game.

Fitness major concern last 2 seasons big drop off running out games and injuries what's the issue there ?. Teams get a run on we cannot even try to stem the flow.

Umpiring is not the issue for 10 straight goals.Cut this crap moving players out of position doesn't work with all Baker was one of the best back pockets in our successful era yet now we decided no play him up forward.

You must also question list management allowing Butler & Higgins to go when you keep Aarts & Castagna.  Yes George has 3 flag's but the other 2 are clearly better footballers

They’re both poo!

It look like it will turn into a rebuild year, I think we will bottom 4 this year unless we find a few unfortunately .
To the old blokes to keep winning games for us is not going to happen. With injuries and we start to get them to senior players,  the kids will get a crack to see if they have anything
Was a good era , but you can’t beat the AFL , umpires, rule changes and the opposition forever

[Fluffy Tiger]

I must admit that Nanks stand up bump (brick wall) was one of my favorites moments in the last two season's.

[The Machine]

Play 1 ruck at this ground. It's a very fast track...

[WilliamPowell]

Said it after round 1,  it isn't the loss so much as how we lost

That was a pathetic, pitiful effort in the last qtr and a half.

The wheels fell off when Grimes went off. Granted Dylan was having an average game but when he went off the backline fell to pieces.

Throw in the dropping of heads after the Saints got their 2nd in the final qtr and game was over

Agree others our fitness is a massive concern as are the soft tissue injuries
