VFL: Richmond vs Brisbane - 2nd Elimination Final

[one-eyed]

Geez just cough up the ball in defence .

31 - 41

[one-eyed]

Our "tackling technique" on display today. Broken tackle after broken tackle following by going too high  .

When are going to address this as a whole club?! We are the worst club at all levels when it comes to tackling.

31 - 47

[one-eyed]

Lefau hooks it OOTF when he had an open goal  .

We're still playing Sunday H/A footy and not finals footy.

[one-eyed]

Clever by Fawcett on the boundary. Kept it in and got it to Kosi in the goalsquare for the goal  .

Rich  6.1-37
Bris   7.6-48

26 min Q2

Frees:  5 - 12 

[one-eyed]

Free off the ball when we were going inside 50 and then another free downfield off the ball to gift them a goal in their goalsquare  .

37 - 54

Anything in the Lions forward line is a free kick ….

Schoolboy stuff. Allow the ball out the back in the defensive marking contest 20 out 

37 - 61

Half time

Richmond     4.1     6.1-37
Brisbane       2.4     9.7-61

Goals: Koschitzke 2, Alger, Fawcett, Lefau, Wilson


They had the breeze and used it that quarter but geez we're getting a lesson in finals footy in general play. It's like watching us in the 2013-2015 AFL Elimination Finals. If contested footy, proper tackling technique and defensive pressure isn't at the centre of what you do then you don't win finals. 

Fawcett can hold his head up out of the AFL-listed boys. Blight has been ok in defence.

Stats to HT:

Smith  10 disposals
Blight  9
Ryan   8
Alger   6
Fawcett 6
Lefau  6
Kosi    5
OHB   3




Disposals   152 - 191 
Marks         27 - 48 
Tackles       42 - 22 ..... it's the poor technique that kills us. Not pinning the arm so the handpass is given off.
Clearances  17 - 28 
Inside 50s   16 - 38 
Hitouts        20 - 20
Frees            5 - 13
