VFL R12: Richmond vs Werribee @ Punt Rd, Wed. June 8

[The Machine]

18 professional players getting flogged by part time players. My goodness

[Knighter]

Umpires are stuffen clueless

Nothing to do with the umps tonight. We have been absolutely pathetic. Embarrassing by all and the coaching department.

To be fair, I think both statements are true.

We have been poo.
The umpires have also been poo.

Dow out of the middle. Off hands and Cumberland roves a goal on the siren  .

20 - 43

[Willy]

Not worried about the umps. More concerned about us looking lazy, unskilled and undisciplined.

Half-time

Richmond   1.2    3.2-20
Werribee    3.4    6.7-43

Goals: M.Rioli, Mansell, Cumberland.


Pathetic in all departments. Lucky to be 'only' 23 pts down.

2 goals dreamt up by the umps…..turn it up. They are stuffen hopeless

I wonder what Ryan is telling his mids before the centre bounce?


“I’m gonna tap it to the opposition so you tackle them to force another stoppage” 

Or

“Im gonna take possession and handpass it wildly in any direction so be ready!” 

[The Machine]

Not sure why we continue with Martyn playing in the backline. George playing on ball with Ross means turnover city. Players playing small forward without the opportunity to play high are just wasted. Brown doesn’t look good under pressure or when he needs to put his body on the line.

Yeah but how about the players, beyond hopeless that half.

Watching this game we should’ve taken the bloke that’s playing on Bauer, William I think, very impressive and dominating out of their defence.

Not a great debut so far.

We're playing like a team that arrogantly thinks they shouldn't be playing on a cold Wednesday night.

Less than one tackle per player in a half of footy is damning.

A team not working for each other and not willing to do the bread and butter hard stuff.

Aarts, Cumberland, Martyn and Stack playing like they know their papers are stamped.

The way the ball is being moved and butchered by us tonight Bauer probably wishes he was back at North Adelaide. He also doesn't know our gamestyle (even if we were playing it well).

Colina likewise. If he doesn't mark it which as been most of the time he's out of the play once it hits the ground.

Both will need time.
