Richmond vs Fremantle @ Barossa Park --- Round 5, 2025

[mightytiges]

Steely with the miracle goal from the pocket

Rich  6.2-38
Freo  4.4-28

[Damo]

Is there a more annoying caller than Kellie Underwood?

Called Miller, Sonsie

Palm by play she is the worst by a mile

She fills a quota that is clearly required by modern day Australia

[mightytiges]

Hopper had to go first option there.

Trezise then left his man out the back when he wasn't impacting the contest anyway.

Soft goal to give away.

[pmac21]

Too many fumbled.  Sonsie a few times today

[mightytiges]

Costly fumble by Sonsie at HF.

When we make errors we are out of position defensively and we just get opened up.

[Thrasher97]

Out Miller in anybody else

[Simonator]

Getting smashed at these long down the line contests.

[Simonator]

I think I’ve seen enough of sonsie.

[mightytiges]

Lost our heads in the last 10 mins. Stuffing around with the ball and making basic mistakes.

[mightytiges]

Well switching clubs hasn't fixed Bolt's goalkicking.

[mightytiges]

Half time

Richmond  4.2    6.3-39
Fremantle  4.4    7.7-49

Goals: Rioli 2, Lynch, McIntosh, Sonsie, Green.


A repeat of the first qtr. First 10 mins was very good, but we again fall away after that and Freo are on top for the last 10. They should be further in front given the number of inside 50s we are giving them. Whether it's fatigue or inexperience, we lose our shape and connection, make basic errors and are just predictably going wide and down the line. We're playing into Freo's hands. They just haven't made up pay yet on the scoreboard.

I've always said it should always be about the best person  for the job. Not quotas

She isn't the best, not even  close

I suppose it could be worse,  we could have her teamed with Dwayne Russell. Then we'd have the 2 worst going around

[WilliamPowell]

Still pleased with what I'm seeing.

Yes last 10 mins of each qtr we've coughed the ball up with poor errors and decisions but still there's so many positives

We've got some great kids coming through.
