1.6 this qtr  .

[WilliamPowell]

Can we get a tackling coach who teaches our players to pin the free arm?!

Problem with pinning the arm these days is the risk of a dangerous tackle, concussion

[Damo]

Trainor has a harder head than advertised

It was a terrible tackle

Half time

Richmond   6.5    7.11-53
GWS          2.1     4.3-27

Goals: Taranto 2, Lynch, Prestia, Faull, Green, Hopper.


The game evened up as that quarter went along, but we still had more than enough chances. We obviously just couldn't kick straight. We should be at least 7 goals in front. Positive is some of the cubs are stepping up. Sims was good as second ruck aside from his set shots.

Sims doing a great job. 4 marks 1 contested.

That's true WP. I was more talking about where the opponent is a sitting duck to a looping handball and we tackle them in a standing position. We shouldn't be allowing them to get a handball away.

Agree 100%

[WilliamPowell]

Should be at least 7-8 goals up.

Missed some absolute sitters.

Super impressed with Sims. Clunking them just not kicking 'em

Sonsie crumbs the goal

GWS  4.3-27

[mightytiges]

Gutsy mark by Banks.

Jonty shanks it  .

Another bad miss.

60 - 35

[Assange Tiger 😎]

Ralphsmith and Green both petrified. Sad

[pmac21]

Two hands Hugo you coward

[mightytiges]

Playing into their hands. An open sling shot game is what they want.

[mightytiges]

Not sure why Sims handballed it when the goal was open but fortunately Green still kicks it  .

Rich  9.12-66
GWS  6.5-41
