Richmond v North Melbourne, @ Marvel Stadium Round 21, 2024

[Simonator]

Hopper and Taranto are not the answer going forward. Must be the least dynamic midfield in the comp. Just look at difference to north melb.

[mightytiges]

Our brilliant goalkicking on display again  .

[mightytiges]

Finally! Brown makes up for his miss.

37 - 33

[mightytiges]

At least we're lowering the eyes and hitting up targets in the last 5 mins going inside 50. Kosi goal.

43 - 39

[mightytiges]

That was a mark/free to Brown ump  .

[mightytiges]

Again failure to do the basics defensively. Balta flew and missed and the ball gets over the back of the pack for another easy Norf goal  .

[WilliamPowell]

We should be at least 4 goals up.

3 of the softest misses midway through that qtr could cost us the game 

[mightytiges]

Half-time

Richmond     3.4    6.10-46
North Melb.   2.2    7.3-45

Goals: Mansell, Green, Campbell, Koschitzke, Baker, Brown.


We make the easy look so difficult  .

Feels like Norf will have a 15min patch in the second half which will hand pick 1 to us. As usual we're allergic to basic defensive positioning, tackling and of course kicking the ball between the two big sticks .

Short playing another awesome game.. in line for most courageous player of the year .
It's also quite evident we need a big strong Ruckman.. can't believe they extended Nanks contract. Should have been a one year extension. He's being monstered by a Ruckman still in his nappy

[mightytiges]

Nank tap to Baker out of the middle to Bolton 45 out. Has to kick through this one and so does.

52 - 45

[mightytiges]

Mansell . Open teammate 20m out yet just blindly tries the snap and misses badly.

[mightytiges]

These umps are as clueless as the two teams. That was flat out HTB  .

[mightytiges]

Howler by Timmy  . Short then didn't put his body behind the ball and just tried the toe tap.

[Buddysucks]

Jayden Short… WTF was that effort!!!
