Richmond vs Melbourne @ the MCG --- Anzac Eve, Round 7, 2024

[Go Richo 12]

16 scoring shots from 50 forward entries is damning stat

Meh , about what I expected. They had a dip . I enjoyed the first half . The umpires killed us .

Dow was better , Lefau is great to watch and MRJ continues to improve.

The downside was our captain.

Dow kept handballing to people under pressure, he needs work on his choices. Maybe there weren't better options as I was watching the TV so you don't see the whole park.

Good signs from the kids it was brain fades and poor decisions from our senior core. Playing Graham, Macca ,Pickett and Grimes is getting us no we're rather get kids in get them experience. Ryan infor Naismith no brainer. Sonsie in the guts with McAuliffe and Smith and Coulthard to.

[Wazza]

Hard to watch the skill errors tonight but they had a dip for at least 3 qtrs.
That being said, I've always loved Graham (yes I know he isn't a fan favourite here) but I think it's time to send him back to Adelaide. Taking a young players spot. Ie Sonsie.
Better luck next week.

Pathetic crowd less than 80k

The AFL who deemed declared it "fully ticketed", the RFC and the MFC should be embarrassed

RFC supporters have given up. MFC are fake anyway.

You can tell it was going to be a low number, when you can walk into the ground relatively quickly.

GRADING EVERY PLAYER AS DEES TAKE CARE OF TIGERS IN ANZAC EVE CLASH

By Lachlan Geleit
SEN
25 April 2024

Our player ratings:

Richmond

Maurice Rioli Jr: B+

Was very good, particularly in the first three quarters as a deep forward. Kicked a couple of goals.

Thomson Dow: B+

Perhaps his best game at AFL level? Showed some real signs of class and composure and finished with 22 disposals and eight tackles.

Nick Vlastuin: B+

Continued his quality season and finished with a typical seven-mark, 20-disposal stat-line.

Liam Baker: B+

Jacob Hopper: B+

Was subbed out late in the third term with a hamstring injury but was probably the best on-baller on the ground before that. Finished with 23 disposals.

Shai Bolton: B

Kicked a goal and had 18 touches but really could have done a lot more. This grade might be harsh, but he is capable of much more.

Toby Nankervis: B

Battled well and can hold his head up high against Max Gawn.

Ben Miller: B

Completely shut down Petty and was strong aerially all game.

Hugo Ralphsmith: B

A quality game from the young outside runner. Finished with 21 disposals and did well to go head-to-head with Ed Langdon all night.

Tylar Young: B

Did well in key defence playing primarily on Jacob Van Rooyen.

Nathan Broad: B-

Daniel Rioli: B-

Finished with 23 disposals.

Marlion Pickett: B-

Didn’t do a lot offensively but played an important role in limiting Christian Petracca’s influence whenever the ball went away from the contest.

Dustin Martin: B-

Kicked an early goal and had 18 disposals but didn’t have a big impact.

Tom Brown: C+

Mykelti Lefau: C+

Was beaten too often but still showed some nice signs as an emerging forward.

Sam Naismith: C

Dylan Grimes: C

Sam Banks: C

Jack Graham: C-

Rhyan Mansell: C-

Seth Campbell: D

Kamdyn McIntosh: N/A

Started as the sub for just the fourth time in his career and came on for Jacob Hopper in the fourth term.

C for Grimes generous as was the C+ for Brown who's kicking deserted him and was Fritsch's bitch  ...B's for Miller & Young but only a  a C+ for Lefau clearly a pisstake....and I see they're also running with the "Pickett shutdown Fatracca" malarkey....
