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

[mightytiges]

Poor decision again. Juddy those kicks are for a dry day. Go for goal or top of the square in the wet!

[Andyy]

Disgusting kick by MRJ there. Real momentum killer.

[mightytiges]

No Tiger defensive side front and centre again at the contest . Just gifting them easy transition out of our forward line into their open F50.

Thick as planks tonight!

[Buddysucks]

Terrible kick my Maurice, zero pressure and Jack was 30 meters clear with Lynch on his own in the goal square!

[Andyy]

Really hard quarter to watch that.

Pies working very hard and making us look lazy.

Our captains look like a pair of goose's at times.

Lucky not to be getting belted by 30 points already.

Unacceptably poor.

Followed by his failed torp which went about 25m straight to a Pie.

Yup! Kicked it straight to the pies player again at the end there. Love his tackling/pressure, but his kicking needs work and that’s putting it nicely.

Quarter time

Richmond   1.0-6
Coll'wood   2.6-18


Well that was utter crap. Trying to play dry weather footy in slippery conditions. I could handle losing if they were dominating winning possession through their own doing but bloody hell we are making it so easy for them playing utter dumb footy gifting them the ball goal side. Where's the defensive basics especially from our smalls/crumbers, Tigers? Is being FRONT AND SQUARE at the fall of the ball such a difficult concept! Is kicking long in the wet a foreign concept too.

True but with 20 seconds to go in the quarter that was probably the call from the bench.

[Tiger Khosh]

Our defence hasn’t looked good since the 2020 grand final. Both structurally and in terms of individuals. Balta having a ripper game so far but other than that they are their own worst enemies out there. Grimes 2 turnovers on kicks from def 50 and also left the ball behind him one other time, almost cost us 3 goals. Grimes’ form in particular has been worrying for a second season now.

[FooffooValve]

Staring at a 10 goal loss at the moment. Let's see if we change anything in this quarter.

Not a good decision keeping Samson in this weather

[Buddysucks]

Outnumbered in out forward line, outnumbered in the middle and then outnumbered in our defensive end…. Just flat out being out worked!

Nothing wrong with a torp in fact I'd like to see more of them on a night like tonight but a professional footballer should be able to get one to go 40-50+ metres. I know he shanked it but damned he's been terrible by foot.

[mightytiges]

Pin the arm or ball Tiges in the tackle. Failing in the basics again!
