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

[mightytiges]

Lefau kicks his 3rd. As WP said, a rare positive on a shocking day.

Rich   10.9-69
WCE 16.11-107

[mightytiges]

Geez we've been a thick side today on top of being soft. Ball 20m out and we fumble and tap the ball backwards 40m, miss multiple tackles and allow the opposition to clear .

Pickett continuing his selfish ways today

[Simonator]

Major list overhaul required. Expect it to happen over 2-3 years though. Need a KPD and a KPF and midfield power… so yeah we are in strife.

[WilliamPowell]

Just have to keep playing the kids

Blood whoever we have fit and see what they have to offer

[Simonator]

Would like to see some leadership though. Dusty seemed to be communicating well with the fwds but it rarely got down theee. Nank needs to get them all together after this

[Francois Jackson]

Not sure what everyone expected. It's why I laugh when some on here applaud the stupid decision to get hopper.

That has set us back even further.

Embarrassing!

 

[FooffooValve]

Embarrassing yes, but not sure what people expected. Virtually our 2s out there today.

Good time for the bye.

Don't think expecting players to put in the effort around the basics is asking to much

[The Machine]

Mids got smashed all day. Hard to defend that but we were pathetic in defense as well. Worst performance for the year and only a few players to walk off the ground with a pass. Hope we have someone back next game- anyone will do but not that spud Cumberland

FFV, I at least expected a basic defensive effort even if we lost.

Wouldn't be blaming our defence too much. Midfield smashed all day, the ball was coming in however they liked. Very difficult day to be a defender. Having said that, not Young's best day.

Indeed- yes the game was well over but to not kick it to Campbell in the back pocket late in the game sends bad messages to young players. He ended up kicking to the wrong hard option and watched the ball sail back into the defensive half, not good enough. Do the basics its not that difficult.

Well he doesn't need the money as he's living rent free in your head - and very spacious accommodation it is too....
