Richmond vs West Coast @ Optus Stadium --- Round 5, 2024

[mightytiges]

Finally got it forward this quarter. Dusty goal.

Rich   8.7-55
WCE 15.6-96

[WilliamPowell]

The only thing Richmond like today is the free kick count

12 to 4 in the Eagles favour with 3 minutes to go

[Simonator]

McCauliffe showing some aggression with the tackle on Reid, good to see. Should’ve got a free

[mightytiges]

Wow we are down in 30 in contested possessions

That says everything we need to know about today's game

Yep. One of the poorest and softest efforts in a while given the opposition's record.

[TigerLand]

If anyone was in any doubt about what we need to do as a club this year, today has confirmed it.

Call it whatever name you wish, the success of the next 10 years ensures that we get a top 4 pick. With Gibcus and Clarke now ACL. We cannot accept anything less than a top 4 pick. We need our next Cotch / Dusty to come in. We will bank on some luck nailing other first rounders but unless we want to pay 1.5 mil a year to get in a brownlow type player. We need a top 4 pick.

We need multiple top 10 picks really, which could very well happen this year. Thing is, they will take 5 years to develop. So we are in for some pain, may as well get it started rather than being delusional about where we are at as a club

West Coast   3.1   11.2    15.8-98

Yep. Hit the draft and accept we won't be seeing finals again until the 2030s.

[mightytiges]

Lefau goal.

Rich    9.8-62
WCE 15.8-98

[WilliamPowell]

Lefau has been a small positive today

Let's be honest there hasn't been many

[Simonator]

Dow JOGGINF ALONG SIDE REID. I’m so sick of Dow. pee weak
If he had poor skills, fine you can work on that.

Has no ticker and that you can’t train into someone

[mightytiges]

Our woeful tackling technique and "efforts" another shocker on display today .

[Diocletian]

[WilliamPowell]

Lefau gets his 3rd

Well done young man

[Simonator]
