Game Day Richmond v Western Bulldogs, Round 4 - Saturday 8th April 4:35pm @ MCG

[Tiges1229]

We used to be a great wet whether team it's no excuse we are playing terrible but jeez some selections have not been good by Hardwick... JR should've played he is good in the wet. why was Ryan out their ye? get games into him but to it when it's bloody dry JR being managed this week didn't make sense.

Match committee carrying on like we ate 12-0 resting Riewoldt , knowing right well he plays ****ibg good in rain

Our backline is just shizen. Grimes and Vlastuin just aren't the same players they were two years ago. So many skill errors. You used to be able to set a watch by their skills

I thought Young had a excellent game

how bad is footy in 2023 , stand rule and umpiring farrk me dead

every game looks like under 10s

 

[Gratees]

At our best we looked incredible, but when we aren’t at our best we were awful

 

[Kedford]

Can we PLEASE stop doing these short kicks out of the goal square, we put so much unnecessary pressure on ourselves.

 

[tigers12]

im still angry about that vlaustin free against

 

[mauricerioli]

Our coaching group are a liability.
We play with one hand tied behind our back with their moronic instructions.

MRJ or Jack in for Ryan and we win

dimmas cooked selection strikes again

bloke is a stoner now

 

[French Tiger]

We miss short and broady, our backline is shizen without them.

Certainly need them in the team but down 17 on inside 50’s I thought they held up pretty well to be honest

Also, they scored a goal where Naughton just blatantly grabbed Balta's arm and held it so he couldn't go third man up and it wasn't called.

I have no issue with what they called tonight (besides the McComb one), it's what they don't call that is a killer. Ryan pinged HTB in the first. Naughton in the scenario drops it and gets away with it 10 mins later. It's just infuriating.

Played at our best for about a quarter and a half all year. Our worst is bottom 4. We have played at that for the balance.

We are back to pre flag tigers Jekkyl and Hyde

vlastin hasnt been the same since getting concussed

 

[SouthernStripes]

Tried to be too fancy with it today I thought. Wet weather footy is too unforgiving for cute handball chains in the middle of the ground

 

[chriso11]

Cumbo was shite
Worse skills and decision making than Castagna

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

Game decided by 2 dodgy last quarter frees…goals…

Thats rubbish mate

Richmond played absolutely sh!t football all game except 10 mins in the 2nd half of the 2nd quarter

apart from that 10 minutes we got killed all game

 

[Jono_Hain97]

On the end of so many close losses. The players clearly no longer believe in Dimma. It seems like the playing group has lost all respect for him, since the affair. It explains why we have declined so quickly

young is a spud.

It's frustrating but as Buckley said in the commentary, you get more reward for the 50/50 umpiring calls when the ball is in your forward 50. Our pathetic mids didn't do enough of that today

 

[DickieKnee]

Also, it would be nice if our forwards got the same treatment oppo forwards get. We even slightly hold a forward we get pinged, but Dusty, Lynch and Cumbo all held multiple times tonight and nothing.

That free on Lynch for holding lol

 

[Kedford]

young is a spud.

I don't think he's that bad 1 on 1 defending, just shouldn't kick as often as he does.

 

[bluehouse]

Nah we need Broad in - he doesn’t attack the ball in the air and too often gives up goal side when the ball comes back to him over the back. He has a future and hasn’t been hopeless but he’s got a long way to go.

Yep, Ryan was subbed off at half time last week due to the conditions. Why on earth was he played again? I’m fine with resting jack but leaving Ryan in was a head scratcher. I would rather give Pickett ruck minutes than Samson in the wet. He’s just not up to it.

Nah did alright, only his 2nd game.
