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

[mightytiges]

Kosi can't even take an uncontested mark overhead.

If Balta isn't still right to come back then Samson has to come in next game. He'll have his brainfrade moments but at least he can hold a mark.

Eagles got a standing ovation at the end of that quarter.

Half-time

Richmond    4.3    7.7-49
West Coast  3.1   11.2-68

Goals: Bolton 3, Baker, Lefau, M.Rioli, Sonsie.


You know you're play really bad when the Eagles have an 8 goal quarter against ya  .

3.6 to 11.1 since the midway mark of the 1st qtr  .

We just don’t have the cattle anymore.

Kelly is the one we have to stop.. FFS he's playing with us, doing as he pleases . If Dusty can't influence the game anymore in the middle he just have to give it up.. looks so slow now. Everyone bangs on fridge Is slow but f he is lightning compared to dusty now. Dusty is really way off ATM. Has little impact these days

[Diocletian]

Lmao @ Young getting toweled up by Dennis Waterman....and would it kill Nank to actually tap it to his own mids?

...also no surprise Petrucelli's having a blinder with Ralphshyte as his opponent...


...and ffs keep Pickett the stuff away from the backline.....

[Simonator]

Yze has a tough job trying to coach this mob. Dumb players in critical positions like Kosi and Young. Young players that aren’t there yet or just aren’t even good enough like Dow. Just wanna see a big half from sonsie and mcc

[Tiger_In_Sicily]

Missing Taranto big time in the middle

We just don’t have the cattle anymore.

True but at least doing the defensive basics doesn't require talent. Everyone selfishly getting sucked into the honeypot and not having anyone protecting the defensive side of stoppages/contests is unforgivable.

At least Dow is having a dip, he is what he is but he is trying his best. Not our worst by far.
Time to put dan Rioli in the middle

[Diocletian]

The stoppages and cb's are an unmitigated disaster of complete disorganisation and half arsed defending - comically bad ...

[mightytiges]

Kelly is the one we have to stop.. FFS he's playing with us, doing as he pleases .

Easy for him when his Tiger opponent stands on the outside and allows Kelly to run inboard into the corridor and forward unopposed.

The lack of basic defensive efforts today has been embarrassing. That first half was as bad as the first half in the Gold Coast game.

[Diocletian]

stuff it - just lay back and think of the draft...

  Hugo was just moved to him.

Yep I'm done for 2024

I thought we'd be better than this, this year. But as the injuries mount it is as clear as day we are not going to win many games...I'll put my hand up and say I got it wrong, no new coach bounce for us

So I will keep watching, going to games and just focus on how the kids go. No point in getting angry or frustrated

Might have to pay more attention to the under 18 comp this year
