Richmond vs W.Bulldogs @ the MCG --- Round 4, 2023

[mightytiges]

No late changes.

Cotch confirmed as the sub. Hannan is the Dogs' sub.

Seems odd to have Cotch as the sub  if we are "managing" him. What if we suffer an injury in the first quarter? He'll still effectively have to play a full game.

[mightytiges]

I reckon it's a danger game personally and I don't like this crap resting players in rd 4 so early veterans or not.

To be honest, I'm not keen on it either. Happy with the ins but not a fan of the outs. Fear the Dogs will rebound out of F50 with little pressure. Hopefully, I'm wrong and Dimma will prove again why he is the coach.

One thing for sure, we can't allow the Dogs' midfield to smash us in the contested ball like the Pies did last week.

Geez - too easy 

[julzqld]

Juddy - watch ya kicks

[Broadsword]

Baker and Clarke's kicking is terrible. Just terrible.

[Broadsword]

Tylar Young has some gumption.

[TigerLand]

We've bottled this at selection again.

How is Maurice not playing in the wet. Absolutely zero forward pressure. Ryan a witches hat in wet and monstered in ruck. Why do we continue to stuff the most simple thing in football and licking best team for opponent and conditions.

[julzqld]

Who’s on Bailey Dale?

[Broadsword]

Bad kicking is bad football.

Someone needs to tell them to calm down. This is terrible football. Going at 40-odd percent kicking efficiency.

[julzqld]

It’s going to be a long season

[pmac21]

We gunna get smashed.  Midfield completely unaccountable. 

[julzqld]

Woeful

[Tigeritis™©®]

Our boys clearly don’t train with the ball.

Skill level is atrocious it’s the worse I’ve seen since 1989.

Rubbish. 

[WilliamPowell]

Judson Clarke has hit Doggies players lace out 3 times

[Broadsword]

Don't know about anyone else but I consider Baker very droppable after that quarter. He has no respect for the football and is setting the tone for us with this frantic, fumbly, bumbly, dispose first, look later bullspit that has creeped into our game.

Needs to drop down to the VFL with Maurice and relearn how to kick and handball before he's allowed to possess the football in the 1s again.

I remember there was a time when we were rubbish in the 2012-2016 era when we were epitomised by failing, last-gasp Steve Morris lunges at the football and that is what we have become again. Everyone falling to ground thinking they are achieving a 1%er when actually they just can't keep their feet and play basic football well.

Look. Think. Dispose.

Not ...

Dispose. Fall Over. Lunge.
