yep.. its so frustrating because after holding everything up.. he ends up simply doing the exact thing you know he was gonna do in the first place.. long down the line to a contest!.. problem is it gives the opposition an eternity to set up ready for it.
the other thing I’m sick of seeing is our mids all being drawn into the same contest for the ball.. All of them all at once!!.. only to see the ball squeeze out to 2/3 unmanned opponents who can simply run away with it.
happens all the ****n time. its because they are all in and under scrappers.. all they know is “see ball, get/go for ball”..
Spot on. You have to actually observe the game, you can certainly extract some surprising insights from stats at the end of a game or over a period of time... but using statistics alone is folly.

He got on the end of quite a few attacking plays and actually deliver the ball.

Tigers get on top in the third quarter … umpires say ‘Hold my beer’. Full strength Adel except for Seedsman. 32-13 in free kicks and you kicked 12-1 from set shots. It’s nice to win but I’d probably cool the celebrations - wouldn’t want to celebrate too early like in GF week of 2017 when Tex saved a seat on the plane for the cup

If you understand the game or have an eye for it don’t need stats
Honestly, I can't recall him having much turnovers and he usually stand out when he does them.

Doedee, nice fellow, but in bird terms he's a pigeon.
Keays is a HAWK by comparison.
For leadership, inspiration, I'd take Keays of the two, but Smithers has gotta be a chance, yeah?

They were probably dogs in a previous life. See ball, chase ball.
Good win but what was especially pleasing was Richmond got out to a quick start and then challenged in the third quarter and hit the front - we steadied and got back on top.
Now to next week in Ballarat. Our tall forwards might be an issue for the Doggies.
That was pretty good. Managed to have the game on our terms most of the time.
Still did some of those mid-forward connection mistakes at times, lucky we didn't get burnt a few times for it too.
I thought ROB would spank Nank and I was right. He matches up well on him. That helped our midfield. Most of the time when they were breaking away if we didn't win it we were able to drive them fairly wide which was good to see. That's one of those little things we havent been doing. Berry started a bit dodgy getting up to the pace but was better and better as the game went on. He made a fair few subtle mistakes as well, be good to show him the tape, he should be able to learn a lot from looking back at it.
Was a bit annoyed with Dawson and Doedee at times. They are over flying at the ball and risking injury and still not killing it properly anyway. Few basic kicking errors and misdirections from the whole team. Billy and Jones are doing great things but also at time do really bad mistakes. Hopefully they can narrow it up a bit. Jones was great especially early in the game. A lot of the maligned guys were great. McHenry was fan bloody tastic. Back to Doedee, son, when you want to try that move around to create, to get good at it, you have to get a bit further away from the guy and accelerate a bit quicker, another subtle shift to go from a good to very good player.
Thats enough of the negatives.
Great coaching by Nicks giving it to the haters.
Excellent work by the players keeping the game mostly how we wanted it, nice and contested, seem to be getting the hang of what we want to do.
Was a great tight and exciting game to watch.
McAdam was a very helpful inclusion.
Laird was a bit off in the middle of the game, things werent just going his way, but he, Sloane and Crouch gave it to the haters. Helped ROB was killing it.
Gollant and Cooky were both good.
Tex was great.
Berg was great.
Rachele was great.
Butts was pretty good, bet he's sore.
Overall all played well.
Oh, I loved some of those hits we did tonight too. Jones and McAdam's were great. Some of their defenders will have some nice knee marks in their backs too, nice for us to give some of those out.

All were there, did you complain about the apparent free against Dawson which resulted in a direct kick in front of goal 30m out in the 1st quarter????Tigers get on top in the third quarter … umpires say ‘Hold my beer’.

We won. We're celebrating it. Why wouldn't we?
Crows probably got the rub of the green with the umpires, but a lot of that was Richmond's history of ducking into tackles finally not paying off.
The free kick difference was actually from the umpires making GOOD decisions - though the Crows got a good run with the 50/50 calls.
One thing I did notice today as well, was that we didn't get many holding the ball calls against us. Not that we broke many tackles, but we managed to dispose of it quickly enough.
