Richmond vs GWS - Round 3, 2019

[WilliamPowell]

Always believed we'd learn alot about some of our players when Rance went down.

And we certainly are and the results aren't good

We have far too many of our good players so badly out of form that they are currently "ordinary" players which makes our ordinary players poor players

And finally we have players that have always been poor aroundthe comtest who are now simply putrid.

just sums it all up WP. Rance being out is showing what the rest of them are made of and its not great.

He clearly made everyone walk tall and now they cant even walk

Putrid sums it up

Let’s face it.  This year we look cooked already

Rance our for the year hurts, Riewoldt out doesn’t help.
Cotchin is kicking at 50% and dusty has lost his mojo.

Our second tier isn’t that good. Our game plan has been worked out.

Players aren’t prepared to work as hard as they’ve been working the last two years.

Maybe easing them into the season went too far the wrong way.

........ but we won a premiership.

Stack goes alright.  Umps are stuffing clowns.  Probably need some good draft picks now they have moved the goal posts on us and changed the rules so much.  I am actually so sick of the changes that I have lost interest, it is just not football anymore, they need to keep their ball scratchers off of the friggen game for five minutes.

I disagree

The fight was there yesterday unlike last week, can’t question effort.

It was our under 10s skill errors and execution that let us down.

[WilliamPowell]

Hate to break it you but 5-10 mins in to the final quarter there was no fight

And for a 10 minute period in the 3rd there wasnt much either

I was there at the game and it stood out

Something stinks.

I don’t disagree but I think that was because they knew the game was lost (not that that’s an excuse)

But for most of the game, the pressure and intensity was a huge improvement on last week.

Something stinks.

Sorry, I have bad BO

[strongandbold]

How bad was the commentary yesterday?  Was worse than our performance.  They were very obviously barracking for gws.

Huddos “cop that Astbury” was the most unprofessional mal bit of commentary I’ve heard.

[Diocletian]

It wasn't commentary as much as it was flat-out barracking for GWS....

[pmac21]

With Finlayson's performance kicking 5 goals (4 career goals before this game) did anyone hark back to the good old days when this used to happen to us all the time.  For example a player horribly out of form turns it on against us ala Ben Graham kicking 5 goals against us after never playing forward in his life!!

I also add in the good old days players out injured used to always come back against us think Mumford & Kelly this week.  Ollie Wines next week for sure likely to kick the sealer against us.

[TigerLand]

With Cameron being injured, did anyone bother to test it out?
