look geelong are a awesome team and have beat all comers this year ,so why would richmond be any different
what really worries me is our skill level of alot of players.
l cant work out why our skills have been so bad for so long ,maybe it is time to replace our assistants and try and get a few new ones .
if people remember when wallace signed on as coach he said his weakness was skills training so he got choco in to handle that area ,well its not working we should of been a few goals closer against the cats but our skills where poor ,and why do we continue to miss goals when they are needed ,is it the boys cant handle pressure or is there confidence down or have we recruited athletes rather than footballers.
patto looks slow and doesnt contribute much ,mcmahon is too unaccountable ,tuck tries really hard but his kicking is too up and under ,theres more who should work hard on there field kicking.
l was impressed with edwards before he got body slammed ,he looks good for the future .
Tuck has been the hardest worker all year, wouldnot surprise me at all if he takes the JD medal over Richo or at least come runner up cause if he was not in the side we be well & truely slaughtered.
The lads know what is required but simply donot have the bodies to go with such experience as Geelong & we are bringing in the wrong options for matchups like Polo would have been a better choice to wear Stokes. l beleive as much as l like the little man Agro King, he spends to much time roughing up players laying on his back & needs to get back to concentrating on football. McMahon was not the matchup for Stokes & that lays blame on the coach.
Emergency players had me dumbfounded. Meyer
Conners
King not this game wrong choices overall.
The bottom line is we competed in the first quarter which was great hard football but the Geelong lads work harder over the whole game & Wallace was out coached, after 1/2 time is still a major concern as he cant keep them going & this will eventualy cost Wallace his job as his not getting through to the playing group.
Losing the quality of Nathan Brown before the game is huge on any club & the team must build themselves to not let these types of things distract them as they cannot be used as excuses.
The skill level once again was appalling to say the least & this is a coaching error & needs to be rectified before the rot sets in for another 10 years & our top players search other teams for glory.
The axe is going to fall very soon & dont be surprised cause many high profile supporters are not happy that the culture is not being changed on the ground, Someone is guilty for these bad skills & inderect football.
Everytime we went long & direct it worked, why we go constantly go back to old methods has me trumped & other clubs are laughing at us.
Time to get tough at Tigerland as after watching watching Saturday night l hate to see them players fall into the 8 cause they dont deserve to be there.
