Richmond vs Hawthorn @ the MCG --- Round 9, 2022

[Tiger Khosh]

We got little to nothing out of our small fwds today.

MRJ was good with his chasing and pressure but needs to get involved more offensively and be cleaner when he does.

Honestly didn’t know George was playing first half was absolutely anonymous. Much more involved second half (not hard) but still surely his form warrants a spell in the 2’s.

[MintOnLamb]

Baker has almost been as bad as Castagna. Biggie has had some good moments but needs a lot of work. Id definately drop George.

Surely can’t be serious? A couple of silly moments aside thought he was excellent. Think he lead the team in contested possessions and intercept possessions.

Agree

TK,  MRJ was amazing pretty well his 4th AFL game and spectacular IMHO

Lynch was amazing today, my bad that I did not have that confidence in him. Well done Tom Lynch

Baker every week does stupid things. Every week. Hes drinking his own bathwater. Needs to go back to the twos for a week or two to learn some discipline. As for George hes got photos on someone.. wrve got really good kids in the twos and this bloke is taking games of our kids.

Disagree with Baker big time. I think you’ll find most players do silly things every week but out of all the weeks you’d call for him to be dropped this isn’t one of them. His best game of the season and one of our best today.

Defensively yes.

Offensively non existent although his defence does lead to good offence for us. Just wasn’t involved in general play when we had the ball and was very fumbly when he was near - dropped chest mark as an example.

Castagna is a poo footballer. It’s a bloody miracle he’s actually playing. Mindboggling actually.

Ugh.

Misses one earlier.

Gets the smother, recovers from the shove and nails it.

Still had a gut full of him but the effort was 100% there.

And I would think whether we like it or not, the above is the reason he is in the team

3 brilliant efforts that included the sealer

He was very poor today, extremely poor but that 30 seconds was vital

Bakes was brilliant today. What game are you watching? Absolutely brilliant

I dont really rate him. I dont rate Castagna either.Just my own view thats all.
