Richmond vs W.Bulldogs @ Marvel Stadium --- Round 21, 2023

[mightytiges]

Not sure what is going on with Cumberland's disposal tonight. That's about second or third time he's taken a mark in space and stuffed up a simple disposal with a butchered 10m nothing possie  .

Unfortunately he is not good enough. No IQ at all which was again on show tonight. He isn’t the great white hope some on here think he is

Insipid slop. Played like a team coming off a 5-day break. Up there with the Brisbane loss.

[The Machine]

It’s been a year of learning for Young but he needs a spell. Play Miller as a key back for the last 3 games.

The top 10 possessions winners might give you an indication of why we are struggling tonight

Did some really disappointing things that just make you scratch your head

Kicked a great goal

More than you did all night Fridge

Shouldn’t be throwing stones when you had 5 possessions into the third quarter

[Diocletian]

Did he play?

[Damo]

Did he play?

He multi tasked
Posting on here and playing .. in saying that , he wasn’t seen much at Marvel

[Diocletian]

Would probably play better if he just put away his phone.

[Damo]

Would probably play better if he just put away his phone.

Valid point
I’ll give that

Less phone , more football

Mansell and Graham combining for the same amount of disposals as Cumberland with an extra 2 quarters is a tremendous achievement

Can’t wait to ask them how they did it at the next function

No mention of just how soft Short was. Pushed around by the smallest man in the comp just one tackle and zero physical presence.Yet blokes like Cumberland cop it in the neck.
The usual suspects fail to stand up when you need them to.How long do people expect the old codgers to keep carrying us.

The bottom line is battlers are battlers and without good players around them playing well they fail dismally.

Good old mini  mime  won what now 6 of nine but belted every time we play a top 8 team. He has done nothing new at all in fact has probably backed oldies in even more than Dimwit.

If they cannot even work out where we are at then they are definately not the right person for the job.

[lamington]

Short looked rusty coming back from injury and off the pace of the game. For me
He has more than enough runs on the board to turn it around just like how Balta was solid after his belting last week
