VFL R5: Richmond vs Casey Demons @ Punt Rd, Sun. April 24

[Tigeritis™©®]

Wind is slightly favouring the punt rd end where Melbourne is kicking this quarter.

Why is Lambert not playing?

Dont know

Being "managed" this week

Which I think means he is a bit sore

Clear breeze by the looks, they kick their 1st goal.  Back to 16 points.  Need to hold on here.  They're dominating general play.

Sloppy footy by us this qtr. Run has dried up and we're making basic skill errors when means all the play is in Casey's forward half.

Lucky they are missing their shots.

46 - 31

[one-eyed]

Stiff free. Casey player just buckled at the knees.

46 - 37

[pmac21]

Yes, we've stopped running completely this quarter.  Back to 9 after terrible umpiring in the back call.

The boys really struggling with kicking against this wind. It’s not much but deceiving at ground level.

[pmac21]

Back to 3 points

[one-eyed]

Geez there's some dumb footy out there .

Mistackles allowing Casey out.
Kicking short to flat footed teammates under pressure turning it over.
Two Tiger forwards flying for the same ball and spoiling each other (i.e. selfish!).

Back to 3 points.

46 - 43

[pmac21]

Blow the siren please. 
Terrible communication up forward as 2 forwards spoil a certain goal, straight up the other end for a goal.

[pmac21]

It's amazing how players will run with the wind rather than against it. 
Dee's in front by 3, should be more.

[pmac21]

4.7 to 1.1 that quarter

VFL side are like the seniors and give away too many stupid free kicks in the back or too high pressure is our trademark but execution needs to be better.

We got smashed out of the middle especially the second half of that quarter when the dees dominated and used the ball really well.

Our ball use especially coming out of defence was way below standard and our pressure dropped off considerably.

Clarke looks good / Stack is doing ok / Aarts had a quiet quarter and looks to be getting some closer attention in that quarter. Actually all our mids went to sleep half way through that quarter.
