Richmond vs Sydney @ the SCG --- Round 11, 2022

[Francois Jackson]

We should be so embarrassed by this result

Yep only got ourselves to blame as we had plenty of chances to win it anyway but a ridiculous number of brainfades cost us. Even Buddy just said they were lucky.

And top of the brain fade brigade are our co-captains. They directly cost us 2 goals. There's the game

stuffin disgraceful those 2 tonight.

Throw in Shai as well. Sick to the death of his lack of discipline.

Completely unacceptable that loss as we threw it away just like the 2 other losses earlier in the year.

3 match winning leads squandered this year .

Wait a minute! 


Does that mean every time we had a goal disallowed this season because we kicked the ball after a free kick it wasn’t 50 metres because we didn’t know?

[Simonator]

Also want a special mention for Ivan Soldo who think he’s playing soccer. Never play in the seniors again. He is honestly no where near the level of an AFL footballer. Can he run directly at another tall bloke for a small portion of the game to give nank a rest? Yes. Other than that anything you get out of him is a bonus. Convince me otherwise. He is stuffin useless.

[The Machine]

Definitely start by saying we are so undisciplined it’s just not funny. Dimma must address this ASAP.
The non 50 at the end is an embarrassing error by the umpires. Never have i heard them say “use common sense”. The same situation happens all the time during general play, and it’s 50 every time. The game has never been in such a bad state

We were 14 points up

In our premiership years we don't lose from there 

We had enough of the ball and chances inside 50 in the last quarter to win that. All their goals came easily from fewer opportunities while we butchered and wasted most of our clearances and F50 chances. 12.2 first half; 3.8 plus a couple gettable shots OOTF second half. That's the game. Bad kicking is bad footy.

Rot started late second quarter. 31 points up with all the momentum, Swans with just 3 goals and they didn't look like scoring. Graham low % throw then Bolton not giving the ball back gifted Sydney 50 and a goal. You don't give an sucker a even break. Gave them a sniff and they took it. It was the first of so many undisciplined brainfades. You don't win games against decent sides let alone interstate by being continually stupid. We got away with our brainfades against the likes of Essendon but we didn't learn to cut them out and it's bitten us on the backside tonight.

[The Machine]

We get nutted by the umps yes, but we don’t do ourselves any favours and I’m sick of it. We need to pull our heads in

I think Gibcus up forward was a good move he’s got the athleticism to at least get the ball to ground.

He did ok on Buddy but watching it on tv it always looked like eventually Buddy was going to get some.

I would’ve had Gibcus up forward from the beginning. We don’t have forwards in reserve but we have an abundance of defenders. We need to allow one to be moved especially this week considering Reiwoldt was up against.

Not the best coaching but a good decision in the end but way too late IMO

This is a great call.  I thought the same thing.  We had em and let them back in.

You better get the 2017 GF out and have a listen. Stevic says "a bit of common sense" when he called for a ball up after a kick was touched off the boot, Vlastuin marked it but it was called play on (correctly), Vlastuin tackled. Crows wanted a free didn't get one

[FooffooValve]

We handed them that game on a glittering silver platter. Umps were awful but nobody to blame but ourselves.

[TigerLand]

Bad kicking bad footy agree.

Got beaten in coaches box. Once Mills went behind the ball we got slaughtered in terms of efficient F50 entries. Had no answer. Gibcus on Buddy was arrogant with 2 All Aus defenders. Used Bolton and Martin poorly and wasted. Soldo decision was a stinker. What other team would out your 2nd ruck as a full-time forward. Huge issues up forward.
 Apart from that first half pressure was excellent but threw it away in 2nd half. Similar to Carlton game, once they shifted the magnets we had no answer.

[torch]

We lost this game!

How many more times are we going to give frees away in the D50?

Surely our experience defenders know this?

How many matches have we lost now after leading by 4-6 goals?

Exactly like the West Coast match last year in 2021.

Will this break our year?

2 weeks to sit on this loss which WILL hurt.

3 out on the fulls tonight - 2 from Martin and 1 from Bolton.

If we had ANY OTHER TALL FORWARD that wasn’t Soldo, that would’ve helped!

Soldo did nothing.

Horrible loss and we have to blame ourselves.

Nankervis and Grimes giving away 50s that result in goals. Horrible.

60 free kicks - just so good to watch this stop, start game. Soon it might be like NFL.

many things cost us tonight in particular the last 10 minutes of the 3rd quarter.

Tarrant, fresh airs a punch and Reid kicks a goal.
Think there was a free kick goal there.
Nankervis DUMB down the field free kick.

We gave them goals to get back in the match.

Sydney kicked 6.0 in last
we kicked 4.8 and 1 OOTF

Once again, how many times have we lost a match while being 5-6 goals in front?

Horrible.

2017 is ancient history in umpire decision terms.

We have a sample size of what’s happening and how the game is adjudicated this season and this season we are being screwed by the umps especially in 50’s. We haven’t been given any grace this season and goals have been disallowed.

The umpire said and it was clearly heard on tv, “I think it’s 50 to Prestia”. He then put his fingers to his ear and whoever it is that talks to them overruled his first instincts and the rule wasn’t observed.

You missed my point. The Machine said he had never heard them say "use common sense "

All I was pointing out was it has happened before. That's all

The umpires got it wrong. It was not over ruled by someone upstairs. Stevic said no 50. They got it wrong

But don't blame that for the loss.

Ill-discipline cost us the game.

33 points up you don't lose, simple as that
