Richmond vs Collingwood @ the MCG --- Round 20, 2025

[mightytiges]

Another freaking U12s error! Fresh airy in defence and we gift them a goal .

[Damo]

We’ve fired our best shot
This can get very nasty very quickly if they aren’t careful

Another freaking U12s error! Fresh airy in defence and we gift them a goal .

Nick Daicos again killing us and he was the one who put the pressure of Vlaustin

We don't have anyone to stop him.   

[mightytiges]

Get bloody front and square! . Sick of seeing Pies just waltz out forward side  .

[mightytiges]

Miller's not good. Legs did the splits  .

[Damo]

Short showed genuine rare courage in that passage of play

[mightytiges]

Brown lost Hoskin-Elliot at the stoppage. Just got to be tighter.

I personally think Nank is an idiot sometimes. He was the one who tapped it straight to the Collingwood player. 

[mightytiges]

Just going too fast and panicking. There are open options. Use them than just blind panicky handballs and kicks.

[mightytiges]

Short can normally kick beyond 50 yet can't make the distance then?!

Half-time

Richmond     2.1    4.4-28
Coll'wood      3.3    7.6-48

Goals: Sims, Trezise, Hotton, Green.


No surprise but the difference in the game is our silly mistakes. We've had a dipped so far, but the Pies are punishing every schoolboy error we make. Their best players are handing the ball a lot better than us in the wet conditions too. Nick Daicos is pretty much doing what he pleases.

[Andyy]

Miller's not good. Legs did the splits  .

Didn't see it.

Groin you thinking?

Or more direct penile injury?

It wasn't the complete splits. Miller's right leg slipped under him and his legs went in different directions. He was holding his right hip so I'm not sure what he's done. It could be groin or a hip flexor (?) but I'd just be guessing Andyy.

[mightytiges]

Don't know if Green meant that and was trying to centre it and missed kicked it? But that's an unreal goal   

34 - 48
