Richmond vs Essendon @ the MCG --- Round 23, 2022

[mightytiges]

Dumb by Baker. Our players should know by now that are whistle happy tonight.

53 - 40

[Andyy]

Pathetic 50m there but plain dumb from Baker

[mightytiges]

Maurice did well at HB. Just gave us time.

We break out of their defence. Miller has Cumberland all alone in F50 and he goals 

Rich  9.5-59
Ess   6.4-40

[Andyy]

Gee our defense is leaky. Won't win a final if we are this complacent.

I like Miller's game tonight he looks like he can play basically anywhere. Forward, back, ruck, wing.

[mightytiges]

How good is Sonsie in tight for a first year player!

Nank should have just focused on kicking at goal in the first place. Misses.

60 - 40

[mightytiges]

Gee our defense is leaky. Won't win a final if we are this complacent.

We're playing bruise free footy tonight.

[Rampsation]

Its our midfield and our defence. I dont like how essendon have gone through us a few times. Its been too easy.

[julzqld]

Don’t they pay incorrect disposal anymore? How many times have Essendon dropped the ball?

[mightytiges]

Lucky there. Free to Lynch 35 out but could have stuffed that up taking the advantage. Miller to Jack under pressure off to Edwards who snaps the goal 


Rich  10.6-66
Ess     6.6-42

[Rampsation]

Miller continuing his good work in the 22 tonight.

[Andyy]

Gee our defense is leaky. Won't win a final if we are this complacent.

We're playing bruise free footy tonight.

Probably correct but I don't like it for a few reasons.

I stuffing hate the druggos
Finals next week, would rather just stay hot and on the hunt.
I stuffing hate essendon

[mightytiges]

One arm Rugby throw by Essendon on the wing not paid 

[Broadsword]

Gee our defense is leaky. Won't win a final if we are this complacent.

We're playing bruise free footy tonight.

Yeah this won't get us anywhere but considering it's a dead rubber it's an entertaining game of round 23 footy. I have one eye on kicking 128 points to end the season as top scorers. Channeling my inner Chris Scott: "I don't think the league does a good enough job of celebrating it's top H&A scoring team."

But yeah, we would want to bring a lot more heat than this in two weeks' time. Can't be letting teams boot 50 by half time.

[mightytiges]

Half-time

Richmond    6.3   10.7-67
Essendon     3.2    7.6-48

Goals: Cumberland 3, Edwards 3, Riewoldt, Miller, Prestia, M,Rioli.


Feels like we're going through the motions. Hardly any pressure or proper team defence at all out there. As we've said bruise free footy. It's effectively a shootout.
