Can't kick from 40m anymore from your sample size of 1? He had a quiet game sure, but I wasn't expecting the knives to be out so fast.

I sat behind the goals today. The dude reads the ball better than anyone on the field bar maybe Moose. He times his marks perfectly.
Geez I hope they use out 3 x 1st rounders this year on goal kicking forwards.
We'll probably go full Freo and draft another 180cm midfielder though.
Treacy was strong in the marking contest. Young really rounds out the midfield nicely, needs to take a ping at the goals anytime he is within 65m.

Glad MJ had a great game, he's going to be such a weapon if he can keep it up

I don't accept your terms and conditions.
Our biggest winning margin against Richmond in more than 20 years.
Not the cruisy start to finish performance fans wanted but the result says a lot about the team's improvement (and how bad Richmond are).

We'll be in such a strong position for the long term if we supplement this young core with three more first round pick talent, particularly more forward talent. Our history shows a huge trend for drafting success - and trading misses - so let's not try to defy history, use that great draft hand. Point is, don't throw it away on Logan McDonald and/or Baker (unless we can somehow get either by not parting with that hand)

On average we were younger and less experienced but Richmond fielded a very bimodal side.

I still have concerns on his pace to be honest
Truth is we should be 7-0.
Carlton and Port were a bundle of ****ups and West Coast was a bed-shitting after that fortnight.
Promising list with 3-first round picks to come, destiny is really in our hands.

If he has the tricks he doesn't need to be quick IMO.
There’s nothing wrong with being bimodal these days

Modern Freo game plan relies very heavily on our run (and likewise the running ability of the opposition).
Hence, I now regularly look at the AFL tracker of Freo and our opposition to gauge our chances (we did a total of 264km vs Richmond's 258km). NB: our worst running performance this season so far is easily vs West Coast a fortnight ago.
That together with a team cohesion stat I use which counts the number of 50+ club game players we field in a week (we had 13 today, I think Richmond had 11).
I suggest do not expect too much next week against Sydney. As far as those two stats go, Sydney is currently Elite in these areas. They just beat GWS (an extremely fast running team) by 280km vs 273km this week with 18 players having played over 50 games for Sydney (plus another 3 with plus 50 career games in Adams, Grundy & Jordon).
That is, I expect Sydney will hurt us with scores from turnovers.
If we beat or are competitive with Sydney, then we are really doing better than I believe we are at this stage of our build.

Richmond is in the worst place you want to be with your list, where your age and experience profile is cratering but you still have to churn through your experienced guys. They're about where we were 2017-18.

The coach actually called out the umps for once having a go about the treatment of Amiss.
"I've got big concerns about how he's been treated all year," Longmuir said of Amiss after the game.
"We've gone to the umpires asking for a bit more protection for Jye. He had concussion a couple of weeks ago against West Coast and then missed last week obviously with that concussion.
"Some of the treatment he got behind the ball today… I feel like he's been manhandled at times throughout the year and, you know, we need to look after him."

Amiss Q2 16:50 min remaining, thrown to the ground in a marking contest. No free.
8:50 remaining in Q2. Amiss blocked of the ball (wiped out with the defender not watching the ball), so he can not get near the contest.
Will watch the 3rd and the 4th quarter later tonight.
Edit: Another 3 or 4 times in the 3rd, he was pushed or went to the ground before the ball got close. Was simply not allowed to contest the ball. A few times so far away from the ball, it was not shown on TV.
4th quarter another clear push, which cannoned him into a Richmond player in front of him, after his opponent gave him a clear push.
Only really watching for it in the 2nd quarter. How many more were there?
Longmuir was correct to call it out. Umpires need to do better, he is consistently getting targeted by teams, and will be spent by half way through the year.
I don't think we got the better of the umpires, I just think Richmond is a dirty side who consistently push, hit people late and they are lucky they don't give away more frees. Baker is brilliant at a late hit, but he would give away 20 frees if he played for us.

One of the marks Treacy took in the last the Richmond defender just lined Amiss up and blocked his run quite forcefully. Should have been a free kick.

Yes until Amiss builds up the body size he needs protection.
To be fair they have quite a few best 22 on the sidelines don’t they? Or are they all getting to the end as well? Certainly Dusty is a shadow of what he was. Still handy but I’d say Fyfe is going better, admittedly having missed a lot of football while Dusty was winning Norm Smiths for fun in his peak years.
Well i guess everyone has an opinion
his is most likely wrong LOL
Just watching the game now.
Very comfortable first quarter. Not sure what all the hand wringing is about?
