Richmond vs West Coast @ Optus Stadium --- Round 19, 2025

[WilliamPowell]

These 50 metre penalties are a joke

[pmac21]

Last 5 my minutes have been nothing short of disgraceful. 

[mightytiges]

Tom sims is frustrating the hell out of me

He's raw and undersized. He normally would be learning in the VFL but injuries and Lynch's suspension means we need him in the AFL team.

I get all that but there's no excuse not make a contest, a marking contest

I'm not excusing schoolboy mistakes and you're right WP. Just saying he's clearly not ready for this level.

[mightytiges]

Our set ups at stoppages are similarly just woeful defensively. We just leave the defensive side wide open. How easy do we want to make it for the opposition?! .

[mightytiges]

Thank you Eagles. That was a gift!

Hopper goal just before half-time

That's better. Kmac to Prestia to Faull = goal! 

45 - 30

[mightytiges]

Nice bounce ump. Ball ended up out of the circle Eagles way and called play on

[mightytiges]

OMG we didn't just bomb it from the kick-in and actually switched and used it to transition forward.

Faull misses from 45.

46 - 31

[mightytiges]

That 50 was actually there. Dumb by the Eagles player.

Hopper goal 

52 - 37

[mightytiges]

That's where Sonsie cops the criticism. Running inside 50 on goal and botching the kick short and wide. AFL players should be at least scoring with those kicks.

[mightytiges]

What was that kick from the Eagles' Brockman? lol

A gift mark to Faull 40 out. Goal! 

58 - 37

[mightytiges]

How do you miss an open teammate 20m away Kosi?

[mightytiges]

Well done Kmac. Mansell to Faull to Sonsie in the goalsquare = goal! 

64 - 37
