Richmond vs Geelong @ Kardinia Park --- Round 17, 2025

[Francois Jackson]

I want the club to come and out and answer questions about our injury rehab. Accepted there was a problem when we made changes hiring Serpell. Is there still a problem ? At this stage the answer  appears to be yes

Not sure what you mean?

He is doing a fantastic job is old man serpell. These repeat injuries and poor conditioning methods are all part of the game.

Imagine this was magic Meehan. All hell would break loose

Quarter time

Richmond   1.2-8
Geelong     3.3-21

Goal: Mansell


Maurice playing really well since coming on as sub.
Can't knock the effort but 17 inside 50s for just 1 goal sums up how badly we struggle to score. Lynch not being there just makes it worse than usual.
Lalor's bad hammy in the first few minutes is just so guttering  .

[mightytiges]

This regular soft tissue injuries started even before Meehan. There's something deeper going on as this has been happening since 2021. Initially, it was blamed on having an ageing premiership list, but when first years are going down repeatedly, deeper questions need to be asked.

Does anyone know anything re Smillie for example?  Why has he been out for 2 months with a hammy?  Why does he need 3 months rehab?

[Simonator]

Lalors hammy is odd on replay. He grabs right down near the knee. Worried it’s a weird one like Lynch’s last year

That’s why I want questions answered.

[pmac21]

Blight sucks at AFL level.

[mightytiges]

That was poor by Blight. It's schoolboy stuff again. Just going to ground after one lame 'effort' so easily and it costs us another soft goal  .

[pmac21]

I rest my case re Blight.  Drops a sitter cost a goal.  Pathetic

[Simonator]

Blight isn’t afl level, simple as that. Absolute plodder

[mightytiges]

Looks like becoming a repeat of last week. Give effort for the first quarter for bugger all reward on the scoreboard before our intensity drops away after quarter time and we get blown away  .

[pmac21]

Crowds still booing Balta.  Muppets
But kick a drop punt you d.head. 

[mightytiges]

Why don't player kick drop punts at goal anymore when within the "vee"? 

Again schoolboy stuff (Balta) 

No wonder we don't score  .

[mightytiges]

How about the Fox commentators trying to get Floss rubbed out?  It was fair bump but because it was on Danger they have a sook fest.

[pmac21]

Get Ralphsmith out of the backline FFS. 
Poor coaching
