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

[RoweyThePainter]

That deliberate out of bounds non-decision from last week will cost us at least a thousand frees over the next decade

At least we are not a defeatist bunch.

Imagine if the players thought like this.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

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.

 

[1990crow]

Fogarty, Sloane, Mackay, Jones, McAdam, Schoenberg really need a rocket.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

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

 

[jackster83]

Need to tighten up on Bolton. He's tearing us a new one. Put Jones on him.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Horrid rule change 15 years ago. A player get ball - Schoenberg -immediately tackled- ball falls or knocked out- for 160 years this was NOT a free. You have give the guy a reasonable time to dispose of it - never a free like this. That's why there used to be amazing plays whilst now it's all pressure, rush, free, rush, hurry, rugby gang tackle - you young guys missed the best of Australian Rules big time.

And yet Reiwoldt same thing, given free kick.

Umpire 38 making decisions

 

[Interloperer]

The umpire clearly said ‘insufficient intent ’.
That’s blatant cheating.
I’m sure they are high diving each other for getting one back against Murray.

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.

 

[the universal]

Not saying the umpiring has been crash hot, but the free kick count doesn't need to be level. It's possible, probable in fact, that one side will commit more infractions than the other.

It doesn't need to be level, but the umpires' intent was evident from the first bounce.

 

[mulz]

need to be cleaner under pressure, only a couple of points in it, richmonds 2nd halves havvet been great, we're right in it

 

[CrowinNT]

4 goals from Chol and C-Jones tells you all you need to know about how shoddy our defence can be.

Let’s start with our midfield first

 

[RoweyThePainter]

Up there will McHenry not taking possession of the ball and somehow getting called holding the ball

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.

 

[relapse]

Mackay's pathetic shot at goal a real momentum turner that quarter

That's been the story for David Mackay's career, he'll miss that kick 9 times out of 10.

 

[1990crow]

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.

Yeah he really knows how to not have a feel for the game in big moments.

 

[footy4ever]

you can see the frees on the sanfl app

It’s only recently that they’ve returned. Haven’t been there for the entire year from memory.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

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

 

[Thetrader15]

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.

Our issue is the delivery into the forward line again. How many times does Mackay kick to oppo inside 50 without pressure? Every bloody week.

 

[Southerntakeover]

That's been the story for David Mackay's career, he'll miss that kick 9 times out of 10.

Yes. Last weeks goal a massive outlier that he'll be allowed to live off for a season.

 

[Thetrader15]

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

Depends which team you support.

 

[displacedaussie]

Not saying the umpiring has been crash hot, but the free kick count doesn't need to be level. It's possible, probable in fact, that one side will commit more infractions than the other.

You're right, and this is why Richmond normally have such a poor free kick differential. They play in a way where they commit far more infractions than the other team. They've also perfected dropping the ball when being tackled which the umpires generally no longer pay as holding the ball.

They haven't changed the way they're playing today - the game is being umpired differently.

 

[thebirdman 24]

Maybe a good technical kick but a terrible decision maker. Lools great in training and warm ups.

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

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

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Those people who said Mackay shoved it up the haters last week have gone pretty quiet.

 

[StonesThrow]

Dumb effort there by Murray vs. Coleman-Jones. Sensing he lacks footy smarts.

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

 

[Johnny Rutten]

On a positive note...

Brilliant first half by Tex.
