Richmond vs Geelong @ the M.C.G. --- Round 24, 2025

[Go Richo 12]

Hello bruise free footy.

And this over-handballing is stupid as.

And the over shoulder handballs!

[mightytiges]

LOL. Just making it up as we go. Nice finish from Mansell but it's a low % play.

13 - 21

[mightytiges]

How do you not make the distance from 25, Nank?

[mightytiges]

We are a lesson in how not to play inside F50 .

Short needs to go.

Bloody useless player and just cost us a goal.

I'm not convinced on Sonsie at all.

Just don't see anything I like. .

[Buddysucks]

How does Nank get pinged for a block in the ruck when both players are directly under the fall of the ball and both are pushing each other?

[Buddysucks]

I'm not convinced on Sonsie at all.

Just don't see anything I like. .

I think Sonsie is worth persisting with, think he will perform better as the midfield improves. He has decent foot skills on both sides of his body. That said, looks like a real confidence guy.

[Go Richo 12]

The umpiring is horrendous

[mightytiges]

A free teammate 55 out and Hopper ignores him and kicks in the ball into an opponent. Our forward play is totally clueless.

[Buddysucks]

Pretty easy to see a lot of our defensive issues today, lots of ball watching and zero intent to push hard into good defensive positions. Lots of guys happy to tread water half a kick off the ball instead of chasing players streaming into dangerous positions.

[mightytiges]

Quarter time

Richmond    2.2-14
Geelong      6.7-43

Goals: Lynch, Mansell.

This is heading towards a 100+ point flogging similar to the last round of 2016. It's hard to defend when your decision making with the ball is a shambles and you hand the ball back to the opposition with everyone out of position. 

[TigerLand]

Feel like the effort is there, somewhat. Certainly 1 way effort at minimum.

13 inside 50s to 15.
4 scoring shots to 13.

That's the game in nutshell. When we go inside 5/ it comes back out.
When they go inside 50 they get a shot away.

[Buddysucks]

How do teams constantly outnumber us across every line. 3 v 1 at every contest when we go forward, half a dozen more players around the ball between the arcs and then spares everywhere when they go forward.

[WilliamPowell]

No issue with the effort

Have massive issues with umpiring

2 to us

10 to them
