Can’t stand to watch Ralph smith anymore

[mightytiges]

Gone back to butchering the ball this quarter.

[mightytiges]

They are harder at and around the contest this quarter.

[mightytiges]

Another game where Richmond players get high whacks and no frees. Clear free to Nank in front of goal not paid  .

Their pressure and speed is causing us some issues this quarter 

[mightytiges]

Pathetic this quarter. The decision making has been abysmal. Constantly not wanting to kick and giving off to a teammate by hand under pressure and turning it over  .

[mightytiges]

Kmac finally shows some poise out there for us and chips to Clarke. Lovely shot by Juddy too  .

Boy did we need that!

Rich  8.4-52
GWS  6.8-44

[mightytiges]

Quick transition with 30 secs to go. Balta to Cotch gets to Samson who kicks it inside 50.

Great stuff Shai on the boundary. Keeps it in and finds Kmac with 3 secs left. Kick after the siren. Goal! 

58 - 45 at half-time.

Half-time

Richmond   6.4     9.4-58
GWS          2.4     6.9-45

Goals: Riewoldt 2, Pickett, Bolton, Mansell, Taranto, McIntosh, Clarke, Graham.


Poor quarter overall both in the contest and usage/decision making on the outside but a couple of late goals has us still up.

We apparently went at just 25% efficiency going inside 50. So back to normal 2023 transmission that 2nd quarter .

Daniels has been subbed out for the Giants with a hammy. That's a big loss for them. Fahey subbed on.

Pathetic this quarter. The decision making has been abysmal. Constantly not wanting to kick and giving off to a teammate by hand under pressure and turning it over  .

GWS pressure was elite

Looked much faster than us too once we turned it over

It's an open rebounding game like basketball. We're trying to play fast in waves running forward but every bad turnover by us leaves us wide open the other way defensively. That's why the Giants have free players everywhere .
