Game Day Richmond vs Adelaide @ the M.C.G(iants Stadium)

[Crow till I die]

Its almost like the VFL powers to be told these umpires their careers were on the line if they didnt manufacture an avalanche of favorable calls for richmond and to hammer Adelaide today...watching this it does not look so far fetched

 

[Golumless]

The AFL will want Richmond to win this but if we take our chances we will win this.

Our issue we have is our defence - we leak too many goals but is in part they way we take chances.

Positive is we are showing good signs for the future.

Eh, the issue is in our midfield and more in particular our pressure.

We saw the defence looked organised when that element was on in the first quarter. All at sea when our pressure dropped off.

The good news is umpire 38 is going to be replaced at half time.

The AFL are using replacement umpires for our game and the Port game, but the replacement umpires are only doing a half each

 

[Moonwatcher]

People say Mackay is a good kick but it's a ******* myth.

I have literally never heard anyone say Mackay is a good kick.

 

[Johnny Rutten]

People say Mackay is a good kick but it's a ******* myth.

The QAnon crowd, apparently.

 

[Southerntakeover]

On a positive note...

Brilliant first half by Tex.

Oddly, he kicked the freak ones and missed the ones that he should have kicked.

Probably missed the chance for a 5 goal half really.

 

[CrowinNT]

Some may say this is an over reaction, but that shot on goal from Mackay has to be the final nail in his career coffin.

Sadly I wish my late Father who I recently lost could open a coffin again
No 14 is a reincarnated Mystery that the Greek anthropology experts are investigating so My friend from Tennant Creek told me

It's like the WWE, tag team.

 

[Ramify]

People say Mackay is a good kick but it's a ******* myth.

He picks out the perfect long pass to opposition players in space all the time.

His goal kicking though..

 

[the universal]

People say Mackay is a good kick but it's a ******* myth.

They say he's fast but that's also a myth.

Not watching, just following on phone - what was Berry's injury?

 

[Dewy006]

Will it is his 3rd game but even still, didn't do a lot wrong there.

Absolutely didn’t need to slide in like that, he was going to be first to the ball, keep your feet, take the ball and get tackled over the line. He also went up for a spoil earlier in the term when we already had 3 players going up in the contest, he missed the ball and it got out the back and his direct opponent kicked the goal. Has to be smarter.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

People say Mackay is a good kick but it's a ******* myth.

The issue is the number of bombs he has done forward without even bothering to kick to a team mate.

Contrast to the likes of McHenry spotting up Tex on the lead.

Turnovers are a killer.

 

[ltdamn]

Darcy isn’t doing anything for the Pro Fog crowd round here.

He's so obsessed with wrestling his opponent out of the drop zone entirely he's always out of position to take the ball. Watching him live I can see his initial positioning is actually pretty good, he's just become Tex style obsessed with wrestling for position instead of watching the ball drop.

 

[Johnny Rutten]

Not watching, just following on phone - what was Berry's injury?

I think he winded himself.

 

[BRL121]

That was the worst decision of the day so far.

We did get a couple of lucky ones, ROB and Tex.

I actually didnt think umps too bad except not paying actual throws.

Tex was lucky, but ROB's was clear-cut holding out.

 

[cleanhands]

Not watching, just following on phone - what was Berry's injury?

Looked winded after being landed on

 

[Mr_Moogle]

They say he's fast but that's also a myth.

It's because of that one time a while back he put the burners on and kicked a nice goal. We haven't seen his speed ever since.

 

[The Karma Bus]

Even if Mackay was OK last week, we know his usual standard by now. I mean...

And really, who cares that he was OK last week. Going forward from where we're at, it helps us how?

 

[goyoucrows]

I think he winded himself.

Ah nice. Hopefully nothing too bad

 

[Burtonsgottago]

That was the worst decision of the day so far.

From what I’ve seen this season throws are now part of the game

 

[Damp Squarie]

Reiwald gets a free after throwing in the first and goal, McHenry gets grabbed without control and pinged for holding the ball. WTF

I even thought that free at the end came of a Richmond boot OOF.

 

[Johnny Rutten]

The issue is the number of bombs he has done forward without even bothering to kick to a team mate.

Contrast to the likes of McHenry spotting up Tex on the lead.

Turnovers are a killer.

And our captain has been the biggest culprit.

I for one think it is good when umpires learn in game from their mistakes

the reiwoldt free for holding the nan that lead to goal was clearly holding the ball as he dropped/threw it when 1st tackled.

my outed reviewed this decision and were sure to pin Schoenberg when tackled as soon as taking possession and the ball knocked out in the tackle, and McHenry whose never taking possession was clearly just outsmarting himself and worse than the riewoldt drop

 

[DJ75]

It was simultaneously deliberate out-of-bounds, taking the legs and out on the full.

The umpiring hasn't been great, but perhaps let this particular incident go.

It was none of those things.
