Richmond vs Sydney @ Adelaide Oval --- Round 5, 2023

[mightytiges]

People understandably want our younger cubs playing and gaining gametime given our injuries but don't be surprised when they tire, get exposed and make mistakes.

This is getting ugly. We didn't make them pay on the scoreboard when we had the game on our terms in the 2nd & 3rd quarters and now we've dropped off our intensity and discipline with the game gone. Poor to not finish off the game: 7.4 to 1.3 in the last.

2.9 and multiple non-scores to the Cathedral end. Bad kicking is bad footy as they say. Just add to the long list of things that are going wrong  .

[WilliamPowell]

Thank God that is over

I'm just gutted, not because we lost but how we lost

Embarrassing
Pathetic
Insipid

The worst performance for many a year. The backline apart from Young is woefully inept

They gave up. Watching pap hanging out the back free as a bird for another cheap goal just

[PoppyTige]

Young Samson looks like Bambi out there... Staring at oncoming headlights.

At least if the pattern stands we'll play a top notch final quarter next week.

[Go Richo 12]

Personally, I don’t think we should have subbed Cotch.

[The Machine]

Our backline apart from Young have been absolutely putrid this year. Our midfield coach needs to change things up. Week after week we get belted.

I'm not too angry about the kids, but Vlaustin, Grimes, Balta, and Bolton were disgraceful.

Grimes needs to be stripped of the captaincy.

[WilliamPowell]

Had no issue with it myself. He was incredibly poor while he was out there. Posted it earlier bloody hard to watch him out there TBBH

[Knighter]

HTF do you let an average team kick 7 goals in the wet. Disgusting

[pmac21]

We need a response at selection this week.  Balta, Vlastuin & Grimes in the gun. And for f...ck sake get Baker out of defense. Plenty of it but butchered it all night

[Knighter]

Personally, I don’t think we should have subbed Cotch.

Cotchin needs to retire next week. Gone on 1 year too many

[Buddysucks]

Cotch was giving us absolutely nothing. No issue with the sub but Maurice isn’t the difference maker we needed. I still think on pressure and chasing alone he should be starting 22 and let him develop. Playing 1.5 quarters a week isn’t helping hm.
Unfortunately with all our injuries the cupboard is bare and it will be more of the same for the foreseeable future.
