Matchday: Richmond vs Adelaide @MCG

[DirrtyBee]

Tippett Rory!!!!
Nice quick play boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
now lets just keep this sh**t up in the second half and KICK STRAIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Finally Sloane kicks a goal! 19 points the margin, should be 6 goals.

 

[pjcrows]

Tippett is getting his jumper ripped off.

 

[Niximus]

If you're referring to Porps 'arc', was definitely play on.

Agreed that it was but 99% of the time that isn't paid.

 

[iamjason]

Sloane is such a gem. Goal kicking mid. mmm

 

[Briggzy]

Rooorrrrrryyyy!

 

[smoovy]

Finally finished, but **** me. What does Tippett have to do to get a free!

As a club we have to start whingeing, I'm sick of us just accepting this shit. If this was Collingwood, Malthouse would whinge without even being asked.

 

[Sir Vlado]

Everything's looking good other than our relative inability to put them through. Make sure Griffin is never in the F50 at all times.

 

[BACCS]

A 19 point lead isn't justified for how much we dominated the quarter, but it is a solid lead in the conditions.

 

[Briggzy]

Tippett is getting his jumper ripped off.

Will continue to go unnoticed as it has for the last few games if not season.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

A much better quarter of football. Absolutely dominated that quarter but the negative is, we only lead by 19 points. Misses a lot of easy shots on goal. Hopefully we can continue this dominance and kick straighter in the second half.

 

[Glenno23]

Good second quarter

Should be further in front, Griff's miss was inexcusable

But the wind is so swirly, kicking it from 40 out is really hard

Rutten has smashed Riewoldt so far. The only goal he has kicked, has been from a turnover in the middle of the ground. Has had some nice help. Its a nice set up we have to shut him down. Kudos to the coaching staff, the plan is working. So far.

Stevens has been very good. No stupid turnovers

Danger was great in the 1st, but quiet in the 2nd

Thommo smashing it, Bernie also doing well

Hendo again playing well, but his decision making is average. will improve with experience

Walker fired up the 2nd after an awful 1st quarter

Just need to keep this lead in the 3rd and try and bury them

 

[Briggzy]

A 19 point lead isn't justified for how much we dominated the quarter, but it is a solid lead in the conditions.

Should be at least 30 points up if a few of the easy kicks (Griffin, Sloane) had gone through. None the less at least we're up, here's hoping to a downpour over the break.

 

[ltdamn]

We should be 50 points up if we were kicking straight.

Tippett is getting mauled inside the 50 - Richmond are lucky the free kick count is not more against them.

 

[jko'neal]

Gee the umps squared things up for you guys in that qtr!

 

[BACCS]

Our backline is dominating. Stevens (nearly BOG IMO), Symes, Doughty, Rutten and even Bock haven't done much wrong. Thommo and Vince have been awesome in the midfield too, and Taylor is getting a fair bit of it.

 

[Allefgib]

When Tex lined up for his first I said, game on the line here.

Kicked it - we should win.

Tex has been awesome. Symes working hard again too which is good to see. Vince added the much needed class going forward.

Just need to work on the finishing - its been awful.

Porpy - hungry for a goal... good on one hand on the other... you just can't run back into a leading big man like that.. not good enough.

Go boys - keep the effort up and will shit it in.
Get the conversion rate up and you'll do your finals chances a world of good. MUST convert this 2nd half.

 

[Crowman32]

Whats wrong with Maric at the moment. He looks like he needs a spell in the SANFL. 0 Kicks and O marks, 3 Handballs.

 

[Mackay train12]

I think youll find at the start of the year tippet was earmarked by the AFL for 'diving' and looking for frees, there were a few others like monfries, cant remember the rest. Although i strongly disagree with it, I think this is the reason why Tippet gets mauled yet still doesnt get free kicks

 

[Briggzy]

Good second quarter

Rutten has smashed Riewoldt so far. The only goal he has kicked, has been from a turnover in the middle of the ground. Has had some nice help. Its a nice set up we have to shut him down. Kudos to the coaching staff, the plan is working. So far.

Impressed with this! To limit the leading coleman to 1, which was by a quick turnover, is awesome!

 

[thebirdman 24]

Walker playing really well.

Dangerfield misses a few easy ones. His first instinct is always to go to ground in a contest to get the ball.

Griffin a couple of bad misses, but has had a presence up forward.

Maric is doing some wonderful taps.

Stevens....is playing well as loose man.

Bock looks sharp.

Rutten holding Riewoldt well, can't believe he wanted a free from his ludicrous speccie.

Richmond fans are sooks

Symes isn't the smartest footballer going around, but has been o.k.

Jaensch needs to get involved, so does Schmidt and Van Berlo.

 

[Sir Vlado]

Gee the umps squared things up for you guys in that qtr!

Really?

Whats wrong with Maric at the moment. He looks like he needs a spell in the SANFL. 0 Kicks and O marks, 3 Handballs.

He's been alright, not getting it much around the ground but other than that he's been decent. Unlucky not to have a shot on goal after that one handed effort, just couldn't get the complete hold of it.

 

[VSTone]

Stevo playing well.... body on the line...

Bock...still waiting for him to do something remotely heroic.
trade him while he still has perceived value....

secretly hoping he proves me wrong

Bingo.

Bit hard to dive when you have 3 blokes hanging off of you

Tippett will smash it next year. The umps will have their review, see he's getting mauled, as not many defenders have the reach and leap that tip does

 

[thebirdman 24]

It would be nice if our rucks took a few contested marks. I can't remember Griffin taking one in years, Maric did at the start of the year and is capable.
