Richmond vs Gold Coast @ Metricon - Round 17, 2022

[Broadsword]

Pickett is making a habit of those high juggling intercept marks defending the opposition kick out.

[Broadsword]

Why do I get the feeling we've entered foot off the pedal time.

[mightytiges]

Our last 3 kick-ins have been dumb and aimless. Lucky not to be punished.

[Broadsword]

Holding the ball is dead apparently.

This has all the signs of us easing off and getting sloppy.

Just once can we go on and get past 50 points before easing up?

[mightytiges]

Overcommitting in the marking contest twice  .

Then 50 for dissent gifts them a goal  .

68 - 37

[Damo]

Why do I get the feeling we've entered foot off the pedal time.

Seems that way
Need to switch back on

[mightytiges]

That was holding the man to Dow. He never took possession?

[Broadsword]

Here we go.

Really tired of this and to be honest it's why we are no chance to win the premiership this year imo.

[mightytiges]

Another goal to them (Dimma will hate giving a defensive stoppage goal away).

68 - 43

[mightytiges]

Continually leaving the defensive side of contests open  .

Small not front and centre 

Another goal to them 

69 - 49

[Tiger Khosh]

Here we go. Same thing different round.

[Broadsword]

Same old script.

We get lazy and waste easy shots and don't get full compensation for our dominance.

Then the other team realizes we're not putting them away.

Then they start winning the clearances and contested ball.

Then they get a run on.

Then we are relying on individual brilliance to score enough goals that they can't catch us before the end of the game.

Really really really poor. This Richmond team doesn't have the mentality or hunger to win the prem this year.

[pmac21]

Why can't we ever put teams away. 
Infuriating

[mightytiges]

Forward stoppage. Suns defender dives on it and it's HTB.

Aarts another shot from 35. That's better Jake. Goal! 

Understatement to say we needed that steadier.

Rich  11.9-75
GC     7.7-49

[mightytiges]

Poor option and kick by Bolton going to Maurice. Turnover.

Then more poor defending at ground level in our D50

75 - 55


Be nice if we can win a centre clearance. This is a repeat of the 3rd qtr last week against the Eagles.
