Review Good/Bad/Ugly vs Richmond, R5 2022

[cleanhands]

Here comes another ban. I’ve accidentally posted something on the Port Board

Pleading your innocence on the wrong board

 

[Bearded Clam]

I know it's a contract year, but how good has Himmelberg been. Looking very agile, kicking them from outside 50m, taking contested marks, kicking his set shots.

Good:
Everyone. Good team effort today and they really lifted the intensity and maintained it.

• Himmelberg. We all wrote him off but he's impressing.
• Tex. 5 goals. Just wow.
• Defense. Butts and Doedee (and to a lesser extent Frampton) defended extremely well all day.
• McAdam >>>>>> Rowe. Aerially, he's better. Defensively, laid some really strong tackles and bumps today. Rowe is the better crumbing forward, but in terms of pressure and marking option around the ground, McAdams wins it. It's good to see him back in the side today.
• Cook's poise just shone through today.
• Laird, Smithers, Dawson, Keays, Crouch, Sloane, Berry Scholl all contributed well.
• Jones, ROB and Frampton redeemed themselves.

Bad:
- Don't think anyone was particularly bad. Brown and McHenry were quiet.

Ugly:
- Cotchin back to his dirty ways in kicking Tex

perfect summary.

close thread.

Crouch must stop holding up the play each time he gets the ball. There were times when he just needed to get the ball moving

Contrast this will rachelle play to Rex latenIn the second qr where he took the mark and played on and kicked to advatage

 

[Mr_Moogle]

22 possessions 9 marks at 77% efficiency. He had his best game at AFL level.

A lot of it was fluff though. Cheap possessions down back under no pressure. When things were hot, he fumbled and made mistakes. He's one of those players where you're always praying the ball doesn't go near him.

 

[Scorpus]

Yeah Frampton had 22 disposals but he also had 10 turnovers, so he was almost better off not getting the ball

500+ metres gained.

He's not going anywhere this week.

Out: Sloane (inj.), Frampton (omitted)

I don't have the answers but I cannot stand Billy's contribution. I don't care how you read the stats. If Hinge isn't right, I'd rather Murray's offensive opportunities over Billy's defensive vortex.

re: the yucky reacts - come at me nerds!!!!!!

 

[Geoffa32]

Don't think we can play both of them can we? Unless tt can play majority ruck?

Tough one.

I am not sure.

Could TT come in for RoB?

A really good win - one of our better performances under Nicks.

Very few passengers and a lot of guys standing up in patches.

Loved seeing Doedee back in form (other than his Dmac impersonation in the third term).

ROB was much better after half time after a disastrously bad first half.

The run and handball game style is good to watch.

Murray is in awful form

Officially he had 6 turnovers. Dawson had 7.

10 turnovers with 77% disposal efficiency makes a lot of sense

And this week they changed gears when they needed to, unlike the slow play quarter.

77%

AFL app has him with 10 turnovers

Yep

Crouch is out of step with the whole team. Takes forever then floats up a lob wedge

 

[CrowBloke]

Wonder if Walker again next year, we take the strategy of one week off and 5 weeks on?

He looks amazing when he's had a bit of rest....

Started 2022 like last year. Looks sharp, lifts all around him.
BOG by a mile, 10 AFLCA votes and 3 Brownlow from today.

I'd venture to say we could well be 4-1 if he'd played all 5 games.

 

[Pugsley]

Divorced

I'd say she would have enjoyed it then.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

I'm calling it...

Keays captain next year.

Has taken over as the heart and soul player under Nicks.

 

[dplggr47]

Hmmm. I'm looking at AFL match centre data which list only 6. Frampton averages 5 turnovers a game and since he plays defense, they are usually costly.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Huge win. Pretty much everyone played their role well and it took a lot of backbone to respond the way we did. We very easily could've been blown away in the third after they got on top, but we regrouped and got back in the game again.

Full credit to Nicks for changing the midfield set-up too. Took Sloane out who did some nice things (shame about his injury) and Berry looked up to the task.

Still a bit to work on, but that performance gave me a lot of hope.

 

[Geoffa32]

I really like the style we have played the last 3 games.

You'll have to ask Champion Data about that

Nah, it's Doedee.

 

[jamesclean]

Murray is in awful form

Yep, particularly around disposal, I agree... but he can definitely kill a footy - and he has some sense of accountability.
