Henry wouldn’t even have the awareness to find the space to get the ball.
Needs a big off season or maybe we trade before the other teams work out he’s another Tambling.

Exactly the ball would of just gone over his head in a matter of seconds if he got the kick away.

Nah if the rules were followed Rioli is sitting on the bench , not running around fresh as a daisy. It was a rort, no doubt about it.

Henry wouldn’t get a gig in any other top 8 side either
2 points out of a possible 8 points the last two games isn't great realistically.

It's better than 0 points mate. I'm looking for silver linings in life at present. =)
His two kicks coming through the wing was so bad it missed his target by 20m. God he was so poor in that last quarter. No urgency either to kick the ball then gets tackled by Rioli.

Richmond were going to throw everything at us and boy did they.
Short break and an away game was going to be tough. We knuckled down to our credit
Personally I thought apart from the forward half being held it was a great effort.
Our defence held their forward half and the mids broke even.
It was an old fashioned defensive scramble.
I was on the edge of my seat the whole game and Personally loved it.

Yeah I'm pretty ok with it today. Thought about how many big games Richmond have played in over the last 5 years or so, how many Friday night games, how many finals etc.
Our team by contrast is very young and inexperienced, particularly playing in that timeslot on the big stage.
I do wonder at what it must do to the circadian rhythms starting a game at what would be 8pm here and not finishing till basically 11pm at night. The football conditioning people, psychologists, dieticians etc must have made massive strides in recent years to get players performing at optimum at all times of day and in so many different environments from week to week - Tassie, Canberra, NT, Alice, QLD, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth.
In so many years past our team would have gone to water under the pressure the Tigers, the Vic media, the crowd brought to a big Friday game.
This group of mostly youngsters are made of solid stuff. Our backline particularly is exceptional.
Chapman is one of the most unique talents I've seen for a long time. His concentration, composure and competitive nature combined with a brilliant football brain is very special.
Young is elite and he's a baby still. He & Clark are one of the best rebounding combos in the league.
Cox is incredible, his composure under pressure, the way he backs himself to get through or past anyone is incredible to watch.
Pearce is the general, all the young players say so. And he is one of the best lock down players in the league. His kicking last night was fine except the one awful one.
Walker is another unique player. Yes he does crazy stuff but he is fearless and creates play others wouldn't dare attempt. I love him.
I thought Henry showed in his last couple of outings that he's going to be very good. Not necessarily prolific but you can't teach the class and vision he has.
Serong, Brayshaw, Brodie, Darcy is such a brilliant young core of mids. Johnson and Erasmus in the wings waiting.
Obviously the forward half is a different story. Not going into detail there but surely if ever there is a time to give Sturt a chance again in the big-time its now? He could literally be the difference in a final.

don't think thats how timezones work lol
I think Pearce has a relapse every now and then with his ankle where it just folds underneath him for no reason. And it has caused a couple of kicks like the one we saw last night , If there is anybody with more inside info I would be keen to hear it . But that is my understanding from limited resources.

Speaking of Pearce, did anyone else nearly smash the tv when Pearce was blocked onto his ass by Cucumber when the ball was still about 20m away which ended up in a Bolton goal in the last?
Im extremely confident that if a back did that to a forward they’d pay a free kick every day of the week.

God damnit! your Bailey Banfield rants will be sadly missed. Good to see ya back though
Nah it’s just you.
Normally bang on, but he was the first to admit post game interview that he “couldn’t hit the side of a barn” last night

Yeah I think we have more than a few carrying something.
Tabs can't get separation and looks like the back is still tight. Darcy lumbering more than usual. I would actually rest those two at least once over the next few weeks, Lobb/Pearce/Logue availability permitting. Chapman and Acres I think it's fine to work their way in given they're still very clearly contributing but the big boys are a bit of a different case I think. We have won with Meek and Treacy this year and i'm not sure Darcy and Tabs at 70% is better.

Cop out I reckon. Turned and saw rioli coming and still took forever to kick it. Poor
Good summary.
He is pretty agile for a kpf actually. He will probably be similar to Todd Marshall though.
Young team. Long Season. Demanding GPlan. Toll is showing. Our zip and zap (miss Switta) is well down to maintain the gplan. Hoping its just a 4-5 game ebb before our flow returns for last 2-3 games. But no magic cure just another pre-season till we are ready.
