Richmond vs Brisbane @ the MCG --- Round 20, 2022

Amazing what workmate and teamwork does.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

I’m not as critical of the list. It’s attitude.

We were the best team in terms of pressure and tackling getting into the heads of the opposition by the second quarter.

We’ve never had a super talented team. Look at our premiership stars ie. Castagna, Caddy, Townsend, Ellis, McIntosh etc. some players better than others and solid contributors in a well oiled machine of pressure and forward movement and a defence that was stable and consistent.

First of all we have let the defence be a fluid concept instead of making it an absolute consistent solution.

Secondly we have become the worst tackling team in league and our pressure has suffered.
We haven’t recovered from the stand rule either.
I may be wrong but It seems our youngsters aren’t being taught the pressure that made us successful.

Thirdly, our aging stars are playing like they are old. It was bound to happen but we would’ve thought we might have got some players in to replace them. We have still have some good players like Bolton Baker Gibcus  so our recruiting is ok.

Development has been the big issue for me.  We haven’t invested in the future and it has shown in the development of players. Covid-19 hasn’t helped either. But we have used the soft cap as an excuse despite other clubs proving that is not a good excuse  in reality.

STFU and watch the game mate. Or play golf.

[Buddysucks]

Edwards…. WTF are you thinking handvalling to no one 5 meters out.

[Buddysucks]

Game over…. You bloody beauty!

[Assange Tiger 😎]

How good is footy?

[Tiger Khosh]

We won a close game…..I repeat we won a close game 

[camboon]

Anxiety !!!!!, a very good win and hope for the future

[Fluffy Tiger]

We won a close game…..I repeat we won a close game 

Hopefully not to late in the season. Imagine if we had of won half of our close ones. Great win especially for Shane.

[mightytiges]

@#$% me we won!

What a comeback from 7 goals down   

[Broadsword]

We're back in business!

[Rampsation]

Great win. Enjoyable win but we have some big holes in our team, the midfield and our defence.

A big change for me happened when Grimes did his hammy and MRJ came on. A slow player went out, a quick player came in. The tempo changed. We need to get quicker players in. Sonsie and Cumberland showed also that kids are the way to go and we need to ho draft another group of 3 or 4 to compliment the ones we have.

Shedda should retire after today. Hes done, he got to 300, a big comeback win to end a great career and bring in a kid like Brown or Banks.
