Terrible performance. Really disappointing.
Absolutely smashed in the middle despite Ryan getting first touch but all were ineffective. I’m not a fan of his 

Ross got a lot of ball and was keen to take them on but his disposal is atrocious.

All our mids were very poor and disappointing. Not one could get something going.

Miller our best by a country mile he had a lot of the ball because the ball was mostly in our defensive half.
Good to see Bauer get his hands on the ball and snag some goals in the last

The “Richmond way” non existent. Pressure and tackling was below standard.

Personally particularly disappointed with Stack, Mansell, RCD and Dow

[Francois Jackson]

Ross must have played well and dominated right as its VFL? Those blokes who gushed over him after a few games could we get please get a quick snapshot of his performance since that infamous game.

Can anyone explain why they keep putting RCD in forward line of extended periods?

Makes no sense

But then again there was alot of positional moves that made zero sense

Because he’s not much chop as a mid so might as well try him elsewhere before delisting him

[crackertiger]

It feels like many of our younger players are going backwards with development. Is the message suddenly too confusing?
