Richmond vs Sydney @ the MCG --- Round 3, 2024

[Andyy]

Some terrible football there.

Kicking to contests and deep forward when they should have just killed the clock and flooded back.

Hope Lynch is OK.

Best game I have seen MRJ play for us. Gee whiz!

Shove it up your ass Papley you little bee I tee see h

[Tiger Khosh]

Not a big fan of the Pickett/Kmac wing combo especially give where we are at, but they certainly earned their spots today and neck week, particularly Pickett.

Done it once WP

Let’s see him do it 10 more times this year

But today was a hugely positive sign

MRJ was absolutely brilliant in the defensive aspects if his game. But his skills are so poor that it undoes a lot of the great work and defensive pressure.

Unfortunately his skills have not improved one iota which is very disappointing.

Clearly I was watching a different MRJ skill wise today

Get your point Damo but today he got freed up a bit and was allowed to move outside of F50

Made a huge difference to his game IMHO

Definitely had a few but for the most part was hitting his targets today.

What a difference a few kids having a dip makes! 
Seth Campbell was fantastic all game, MRJ was dynamic & dangerous, Brown plays like an old steady head, LeFau showed plenty of useful tricks, Sonsie did some very nice things too.  We read the tempo well today too, pretty rare stuff for us.  Retained possession well in our back half & even looked skilled clearing the back line at times.     
A bit of run, lots of guts & we looked like a side today ...   

[Tiger_In_Sicily]

So proud . What a win . And for all you Mansell knockers,this kid can play. He set the scene early and showed no fear.
MJR. WELL DONE!!! made a few mistakes but otherwise showed why he is important for our team.
Sad about Lynch, he was showing ominous signs

[Diocletian]

A couple of glaring errors & missed soda aside MRJ once again demonstrated how important he is to our pressure & defensive standards...no coincidence it was non-existent last week when he was out...good to see him actually breaking tackles and getting around defenders too......
