[one-eyed]

Kicking short to a contest at HB. Deary me! .

So we kept Poppy Kelly and delisted Jess Hosking

 

Get that you don't rate or like Kelly

But Hosking's a mid, Kelly a ruck

Apple versus watermelon

And BTW take the anti King glasses for a minute and as I said she's the least of our problem. She's been ok

She's been ok??? 
Is that when she misses the ball everytime she tries to tap it???

What a joke. 

[WilliamPowell]

A totally embarrassing, inept effort

The most undisciplined performance from a Tiger outfit I reckon I've ever witnessed

In an 11 game season you cannot dish up crap like this

[one-eyed]

Half time

Richmond     0.2    1.3-9
West Coast   2.1    5.1-31

Goal: Jones


It might be only the start of the season but this a coach sacking game. It's that disgraceful! Round 1 and we are an amateurish, undisciplined and disorganised rabble. Remember Norf sacking Schimmelbusch for Pagan after one shocking preseason loss.

It's not that we should have kept Jess and delisted Poppy Kelly as like for like but it's keeping intent vs someone who is useless.
How about we look for a player that can actually ruck, mark, kick or handpass.

So many players ball watching and no one could ever say that about both hosking sisters as intent was NEVER an issue.

Absolutely mindboggling that we can start the season so inept at skill by hand or foot. Look completely slow and unfit. Is the team getting skills lessons from Poppy? 

What the heck is happening with our women's team? 

If the club isn't going to take this league seriously why the heck should we bother even watching?


P.S. have we got our VFLW team up and running yet?

[WilliamPowell]

She's been ok??? 
Is that when she misses the ball everytime she tries to tap it???

What a joke. 

Compared to some of our other so called stars, yeah she has.

I agree she's an average player, so my expectations aren't that high 

But to see the likes McKenzie,  Shevlin, and a number of others give no 2nd efforts is more frustrating to me than Kelly's limitations

And BTW, they traded in another ruck but unfortunately Montana's done her ACL in pre-season

Hello too many passengers and a dud gameplan.

Miracles do happen 

[one-eyed]

Kelly makes something out of nothing from the ball-up 5m out.

Rich   2.3-15
WCE   5.3-33

Greiser clearly pushed but no free  .

[one-eyed]

Our tackling technique as woeful as the Men's team .

[one-eyed]

Poor Libby Graham has had a mare.

[WilliamPowell]

Poor Libby Graham has had a mare.

But the commentators raving about how good she's been 

She's been a momentum killing turnover merchant

3/4 time

Richmond     0.2    1.3     2.5-17
West Coast   2.1    5.1     5.3-33

Goal: Jones, Kelly


Dominate that quarter with 11 inside 50s for just one goal that was out of nothing. Great system eh coach .

[WilliamPowell]

Clearly just thinking Mon Conti will win us the game 

Brennan been awful

McKenzie poor

Stella Reid MIA

Woods? I know the club rate her but I just don't see it

So bitterly disappointed with this "effort"
