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

[pmac21]

It's ok that we're losing this game and dropping off because we're a young team.  Apparently it's ok to not chase, tackle shepherd etc because oh yeah, were young. 

[WilliamPowell]

Kids clearly cooked as the games gone on

Think the intent nad effort (the trying) is there just they've got no more petrol tickets left

[Andyy]

Some ordinary crap being dished up over the last 35-40m.

Might go vacuum my car....

[WilliamPowell]

Blight miller sonsie banks trezise just very average players.

Blight's playing his what 7th or 8th game, so reckon he can be cut some slack

The others you listed, agree

Sonsie, who I've defended a fair bit has lost me today. Far too often he stands back when he needs to make a contest

3/4 time

Richmond    4.2    6.3     7.3-45
Fremantle    4.4    7.7   13.8-86

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


Outplayed and outclassed that quarter. Nothing positive to write about. Can we at least dig in in the last qtr like last week against Brisbane or we will fall away and lose by 12 goals like against the Saints?

Lynch subbed off for Bauer.

Lynch did a fitness test at 3/4 time apparently. So don't know if there's also an issue.

[mightytiges]

Overpossessing by hand rather than taking the kick as first option. It just brings on the pressure and fumbles.

[Simonator]

How often we are forced to go long down the line and just get out numbered and outmarked at every contest. That has to be structure

Disagree about there being no positives

Trainor continues to be a positive. Never drops his head that kid

[mightytiges]

Ball travels across two grass cut zone apparently is "not 15"  .

Greeny you have to kick those. That was a sitter on the run.

[WilliamPowell]

Yep, agree

But our forward line is so young with the exception of Lynch, so it's no surprise TBBH

[WilliamPowell]

Underwood just called Bauer, "Jonty"

[Simonator]

Blight fwd isn’t working. Bring sims in and he can give bank a chop out

With balta coming back are we gonna see miller in the vfl? He isn’t up to it imo. Dumb player

[Simonator]

Kelli underwood needs glasses. Would have gotten a player wrong 10+ times and called Faull “fowl”
