We left 3 goals on the table according to our 'expected' score.

Obviously Dan looked great to the coaches off HBF where it's easy to shine

OVERREACTIONS, POSITIVES, NEGATIVES & UNDROPPABLES

Andrew Slevison

The Key Takeaway: Richmond inefficiency

Richmond conjured enough chances but lacked some cohesion between their midfield and forward lines.

They had 21 more inside 50s and took more territory from Carlton but were unable to score freely.

Iron out those kinks in the coming weeks and things might look a bit nicer on the scoreboard.

The Positive: Tireless Taranto debut

Tim Taranto looked right at home in Richmond colours.

He worked tirelessly on debut for the Tigers, amassing a game-high 32 disposals, as well as an equal team-high five clearances, a team-high three centre clearances and eight tackles (including three tackles inside 50).

Taranto added grunt to the on-ball brigade and worked well alongside Dion Prestia. His ball use could do with some tidying but that will come in due course.

Fellow Tiger debutant Jacob Hopper took a little bit longer to get going and wasn’t quite as prolific as Taranto but will no doubt improve.

Daniel Rioli must also be mentioned for his rebounding performance across half-back.

The Negative: Bad kicking is bad football

Some Richmond players missed set shot chances which might have cost them the game in the end.

Shai Bolton’s snap from directly in front was a coach-killer while Ben Miller and Jack Ross failed to score from kickable positions. Tom Lynch and Jack Graham also missed gettable chances.

Tigers fans will be hoping those don’t prove costly later in the season when it comes down to points and percentage.

What they need to tweak for next week

The Tigers simply must improve their forward 50 entries against Adelaide on Saturday.

If they don’t clean things up going forward, then it could be a repeat of last year’s trip to the Adelaide Oval when they lost to the Crows by 19 points despite having more inside 50s.

#AFLTigersBlues analysis

Both teams can feel unlucky for different reasons with any drawn game. Carlton in this case because they were leading with 30s to go, Richmond because they "outplayed" Carlton for most of the game but couldn't get results on the scoreboard. 1/5





The hope is that these plots tell a story about how the result came about. If we look at the margin plot, we can see Richmond probably should have won quite comfortably given the x score and x chain score margin. 2/5

For Richmond, their offence really let them down, at least inside 50 where they struggled converting their chains to scoring opportunities and actually converting their shots on goal.  3/5

Carlton also struggled to convert ball movement into scoring shots, though they did get more than expected from their shots. 4/5

The other thing we can glean from these is that Richmond really dominated field position and looking at CP and clearances, they were able to do it without dominating the contest. That suggests they were very good defensively around the ground. 5/5

Glad to see your on board with that  ;) Personally i thought Taranto our best followed by Daniel and Nank.

Two i thought very good with limited game time was Pickett and Cotchin and a mention to Lynch im surprised he gets a kick at all with what he regularly has to contend with.
