Richmond vs W.Bulldogs @ Marvel Stadium --- Round 15, 2025

[Simonator]

Post match presser Yze comments about how we got first touch of the ball quite a bit around stoppage but just turned it over instantly and that cost us a lot. Was pretty clear as day, we couldn’t hit a simple handball all day.
Comments like these from the head coach are pointing directly at Taranto and hopper. The so called leaders. These guys are so average it’s laughable, don’t forget they would be gws vfl midfield if they were still there. I know they try their heart outs most of the time but they are just not good enough as highlighted by Yze. Move atleast one on this off season

I think the comments were pointed at quite a few more than just Taranto & Hopper. Reckon you could easily include Balta, Smith, Mansell, Nankervis, KMac, Sonsie, Hugo, Sims as well.

If we are being totally honest reckon he was talking about the entire team

[Simonator]

Sounds more pointed at T&H to me. Maybe my view is tainted though because I’m so sick of their disposal. He also spoke about getting different guys through the midfield. Anyone could
See the current mix just isn’t working and you can’t blame that on the youth, because there is none.

Yep baltas head isn’t in it.

Trade.

Who would want him with that contract?

Goal kicking deplorable.

Honestly I'd consider it.

Try with Miller, Trainor and one of Blight/Gray.

Other joke teams.

Bulldogs do what bulldogs do- they feast on mediocre teams .

One really poor quarter- the other 3 you could see the effort. Just seriously out gunned .

Imagine how well you would sleep knowing you had Sam Darcy in your team . 😂😂

Darcy a gun, just felt that Balta gave up, we needed someone in front of Darcy but we were so far off that structure, we couldn’t even do that to Cox in 2018 semi, embarrassing to even suggest it.

I think the interrupted season is stuffing Balta up.

He plays one week, break the next, plays, bye, plays.

Plus Darcy just destroyed him. Personally I wanted to try Miller on Darcy since he's been good recently at locking some dudes down.

RICHMOND

Nobody expected the Tigers to keep this one particularly close, but Adem Yze and his coaching staff would’ve been hoping — especially coming off the bye — that the side be competitive for more than a quarter, as they slumped to their fifth-straight loss. Richmond had some ascendancy in the first quarter but was quickly snuffed as the Dogs were devastating from stoppage, led by their skipper. After Yze’s match committee made just one change to the side that got pantsed by the Swans in Round 13, there’ll surely be more than a couple of changes made at selection this week.

In the votes

As has typically been the case in heavy Richmond losses this season, Nick Vlastuin has led the way as one of the lone intercepting forces. He finished with 28 disposals at 84 per cent efficiency and an equal-game-high nine intercepts. Ben Miller was serviceable in tough circumstances, finishing with seven intercepts as the side’s fourth-highest rated player on the day. Tim Taranto added 28 disposals and six score involvements, but otherwise, there wasn’t anything worth writing home about.

Room for improvement

The Tigers had more than 100 fewer disposals than the Bulldogs, who chipped the ball around with ease as they built up their chains from the back half with little opposing resistance. It’s one thing to zone off uncontested marks if there’s a solid defensive structure, but the Bulldogs were consistently able to move the ball at will. The Dogs took 54 more marks than the Tigers, had 10 more clearances and 21 more inside-50s, with the Tigers’ midfield continuing to struggle to gain ascendancy in games.
