Richmond vs Collingwood @ the MCG --- Round 3, 2023

[mightytiges]

Maurice finally got away with the fancy footwork. Long kick and Lynch marks 20 out. Goal! 

Rich   6.6-42
Coll   7.15-57

[Andyy]

Easy misses by Lynch and Mansell might cost us but it's not like Collingwood has missed chances either.

Too little too late.

[mightytiges]

Lynch in the tackle misses.

43 - 57

[mightytiges]

Our kicks inside 50 have been crap all night and our smalls have been nowhere front and square to crumb. Another Pie goal rebounding out the front from our F50  .

[mightytiges]

Balta has been good tonight but when you can kick it 60m why do a crap little off the side of the boot kick?

[TigerLand]

Silly to say not taking out chances cost us with Pies accuracy awful tonight but the game was there for us if we were 10% better. Lynch and Mansell misses hurt.

Captain not following McStay is inexcusable.

Hate our short kicking game. Where is our forward handball game gone. We invented chaos ball cause we didn't have good enough kickers on our list. We still don't.

[TigerLand]

Great goal Rossy think he needs to play all year, replaces Cotch full time.

[mightytiges]

Nice kick Ross. Goal! 

Rich   7.7-49
Coll   8.15-63

[FooffooValve]

Liked Ross tonight

[mightytiges]

I know he was trying to get the game moving but Maurice had to have the awareness of Pies around him. It was our free.

[Broadsword]

Umpires have no idea. Arseholes.

Our captains are rubbish. 

Should never have been made captains. Cotchin should have just stayed captain like Pendlebury and Selwood.

[FooffooValve]

We played terribly, had a few handy players out and lost by 14 points, missed some sitters too. I know they were inaccurate, but it's not all doom and gloom. We'll be better.

[The Machine]

Played out the game and got close playing the worst game in many a year.

Final Score

Richmond    1.0    1.3      4.5      7.7-49
Coll'wood    2.6    3.10    7.15    8.15-63

Goals: Riewoldt 2, Lynch, Bolton, Mansell, Clarke, Ross.


Only positive is we played crap and got smashed in contested footy but didn't give up and kept the margin low. Won the second half 6.4 to 5.5. Damage was done in the first 1.5 quarters when our mids were soft and uncompetitive. See how we go later in the year against them with Hopper, Dusty, Broad and Short in the side.
