Autopsy JLT 2017 - Wk2 - What have you liked, learnt or hated?

[Play by Numbers]

Lucky communicating isn't part of being a commentator.....

He makes sense and is coherent. Much better than at least 50% of special comments peeps.

 

[hotkorma]

Really impressed with the haircuts of most of the Carlton players. Very sensible.

Meanwhile at Tullamarine there is an Ellen DeGeneres and several ponytails getting around. Thumbs up to the Hocking perm.

 

[Grockadoc]

Only watched the Adelaide game but:

Liked:
Daniel Butler showing he could be a very handy player for us.
Rory Laird just continues to be a very good rebounder.
Daniel Rioli is going to get even better.
Richmond's trade recruits all contributed massively.

Learnt:

We have added an extra focus on tackling and pressure. So much better than we have seen for many years.
Curtly Hampton will be a very astute pick up for the Crows.
Wayne Milera is extremely underrated.
Troy Menzel is slightly overrated.

Hated:

Not much to be honest.

Begley will become the steal of 2016.

I saw tom mitchell, and went to a dark corner to cry

Wouldn't want to spoil our first win feeling until round 1 vs the enemy

Brian lake has no place in or near a media coverage

Preuss is a monster

 

[Jack Bradley]

North will not be as bad as BF predict.

Remember we are currently getting analy reamed by injuries. Best 22 is good though getting them on the park will be near impossible

 

[WestCoast05]

Sounds like he could be the new Glen Jakovich.

You don't ever talk smack about Saint Glen!!

I'd be angry too if my name was Brayden. I thought we'd heard the worst at Kaiden.

 

[Topkent]

New favourite non Dees player if he keeps that up

 

[Bluelegs]

Tell me what you thinkj. Telllllllllllllllllllll meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Few drinks on Saturday night?

 

[smasha]

Liked - No injuries (for Richmond anyway)

Learnt - People still read too much into pre season game results. (I know it's to be expected, but I can hope people will smarten up, can't I?)

Hated - People reading too much into pre season game results. (especially fun is the annual event of non Richmond fans saying how Richmond fans are being
wildly optimistic, without being able to point to such posts)

The media brought up this myth as well.
Richmond supporters are saying we will improve then the media with the famous Richmond chip on the shoulder say we are overly optimistic.

Sometimes it sucks to be #everyonesgrandfinal

Now for Greg Denham to play his grand final and say we are the worst team of all time.

 

[eth-dog]

Liked: Begley, Laverde, McGrath, Ridley, Clarke and Gleeson all showing good signs.

Learnt: Hurley, Hartley and Brown as a tall defensive trio works well; especially with Gleeson having good intercept skills

Hated: Matthew ****ing Nicholls still umpiring.

 

[DontArgue4]

Liked: Daniel Rioli is a gun.

If you pop over to the crows board, apparently hes a very poor mans milera

Liked:
Tiges have more decent youngsters than everyone will have you believe
Adelaide have some serious size
Prestia, Caddy, and Nankervis all contributed and were key parts in the win
Overall quality of footy hasnt been too bad considering its preseason

Learnt:
Essendon got a steal in Begley (would like to see him repeat the performance though)
Daniel Rioli isnt just hyped because of his name, seriously good talent
North wont be as bad as people are saying
Gold coast picked well in the draft (brodie and ainsworth)

Hated:
Johno Browns commentary all of friday night, an example was him saying its about time dan butler showed something in his 3rd year (only 20 years old) and then in the same breath saying Wigg is a real bright spot for the crows only in his 3rd year
Ty Vickery playing a decent game

saw a couple of you guys complaining about the free kick count being 12-8 at halftime, our free kick count was 19-5 against us at one point and ended 22-11 lol

 

[smasha]

saw a couple of you guys complaining about the free kick count being 12-8 at halftime, our free kick count was 19-5 against us at one point and ended 22-11 lol

Yeah,the noticable one was the Adelaide player taking a dive,getting a free kick,which is something I thought the umpires association were cracking down on.
A Richmond player tried the same thing later which was not as blatant as the Crows one because a Crow player did actually come over his back and the umpire called play on.

Will the umpires play their grand finals this year?

The mind has emotions and Richmond have always had the target on the back.

I dunno about the free kick count, but there were a few shockers when #15 was the controlling ump.

That was a gentle breeze, Preuss is a 114kg category five hurricane.
