Richmond vs Geelong match thread

[mightytiges]

I spoke too soon about Richo  

[mightytiges]

Geez we shoot ourselves in the foot. If Richo had kicked that goal it could have been just 3 goals a diff with some momentum. Now back out to 5 and then 6 with the Cats with the momentum .

Connors - Rising Star nomination ?

Might be a good title for a thread Moi

[mightytiges]

Oh dear. Edwards and then Simmo

Lids finally gets us a goal realising unlike his teammates we have the breeze and you can kick 50m easily.  7.3 to 13.10

[mightytiges]

Are you allowed to take a mark over the goal umpire 

[bluey_21]

some kids have impressed me so far

Thursty been brilliant down back
Foley   how good is he
Lids coped a hard tag, but admire his effort, actually trying to break the tag
Connors   what did I say, would slot into the team and immediately start contributing (re ego  )
Graham something about him

[bluey_21]

how good was connors 25/26 disposals in his second match.

Hit his targets, contested well, showed footy smarts and played with passion 

[bluey_21]

also thought blingers showed a lot more intent. 18? possies. Some good run, kicking was solid.

[Ramps]

Well we got lucky that the pussy cats didnt really come to play at 100%. Nevertheless

Conners can play the game
Graham sort of looks like he can play abit, hes a keep for 2008.
Tambling was good inside particularly with his hands, liked his game but has plenty more to do
Somelike Hughes and Riewoldt hardly sighted although Jack did more than Cleve.

Now the concerns

Newman is a B grade Half Back who is majorly tradeable
Raines is going backwards
Bowden is B grade Utility who is also majorly tradeable
Tuck, I dont understand where he sort of fits into the future
Johnson is gone as a footballer.
Pettifer is also going backwards.

Plenty of average players. A 70 point loss shows where we are at, The GFC werent 100% switched on today if they were it would have been a 20+ goal flogging.

Id expect as much from a f uc ken weak pr ick like him....and be happy about it

[mightytiges]

You're not going to win games with only one legitimate ballwinner who can bust his guts out. Most of our players can't (older players) or haven't (cubs) reached the workrate levels needed to play modern footy so get such down too easily or get meaningless possessions. Once Foley starts to tire the score blows out in the second half.
