Game Day Richmond vs Sydney, Adelaide Oval, round 5, April 14

[peterand]

We always work hard to win the ball put together a few good plays and then let everything down with a s*t kick or miss. Rinse and repeat. It's a ****** disgrace why does it keep happening

Well we had a guy kick it into the man on the mark
Next Taranto misses set shot 30 out lucky to score
Cotchin misses 20 out
AND don’t get me started on our field kicking absolutely a JOKE

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

I swear some of you say it’s the worst half of footy you’ve seen every week

It keeps getting worst .

 

[Tony Stark]

Even Hardwick smirking after that last goal due to another Bolton shocker of a turnover. They should write something into these guys contracts for financial penalties for confirmed clangers. Honestly do we have one player who you can honestly say is in top form. It's like all the players don't have confidence in their team-mates to execute basic skills.

Tackling is another area we are bottom 4 , we used to be so good but rarely do we apply an effective tackle. How we can have three of our players trying to tackle a player and he just frees his arms, should not be possible.

Essentially we have become a low skilled, low footy IQ team or should I say group of players who just cannot execute skills for an extended period of time and look slow to boot.

Again I understand the inexperience but really, Cotch missing from right in front 20 metres out, just really really poor stuff from a senior former captain. In a nutshell we just seem to be a side totally bereft of confidence.

 

[Hoos]

Pickett been ok

Yeah, just hasn't got his hands on it enough.

 

[abcxyz]

Hopper has actually been decent

His ability to move laterally through traffic is good to watch.

Hasn’t done much wrong.

 

[YeOldTiger]

We still play move the footy forward at all costs, even if its poor disposal that does it. That game plan doesn't fly anymore, the good teams are able to cleanly and quickly move from D50 to F50 and have forward entries that favour their forwards, rather than kicking it to a contest and hoping for the best like we do

Yep it's become basketball

 

[shaky]

There was worse before that. Between 1986-1992 was some of the very worst teams ever assembled.

I don’t know if it was better or worse that I only got to listen on the radio and not get to see them play back then!!!

 

[NZ_Tiger]

Our structure is horrendous. We take a mark and everyone runs away from the player.

Jack confirmed stoned

17-10 inside 50’s for 1.6 to 3.1 says it all.

Actually that says nothing to what I just witnessed

Jonny annear and phillip walsh were good value until they both did a judas on us.

I'm not sure want to watch the rest of the game what's the point even if come back a bit we won't win I just know it, some of the players shouldn't even be playing for the jumper.

when the jumper is a nasty fluro caricature with a big green nib box on it its hard to respect it

 

[Muddiemoose]

Fmd I didn’t know Clarke was playing

Need to get it into his hands more often
Kid never wastes a possie

 

[Jammo1111]

Pickett and Rioli good. Hopper. Rest. McI? Rest not much

I saw it. Believe me.

 

[Mr Magic]

How many are on the medical grass?

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

I hate to bag a champion but Reiwoldt shouldn’t have gone on
Should’ve retired with dignity, got greedy and getting punished for it

Agree mate. Hard to watch the decline happen. Same with Cotch. As much as this kills me to say it will they see out the year? The way it's going we as a club look cooked anyway for 2023 so maybe a farewell home game at the G for them both together would be fitting. ❤

 

[DustinsGuns]

Cotchin and Taranto's misses are just heart breakers.

Love ya Cotch, but you're done mate

 

[k31th]

Unless we can get off our high horses and change something up, Melbourne will beat us by triple figures next week.

Luckily percentage doesn't matter!

 

[Noidnadroj]

To anyone thinking poorly of trading for TT and Hopper …. can you actually imagine what on earth we’d be losing by without those 2?

If we’d had used the ball even remotely well and kicked the easy goals we should’ve we’d be in front - Hopper in particular has been superb tonight.

We will come back and lose by under 10 points … we all know it.

So at what part of the season should we peak

Just on that Taranto miss, why the **** did Mansell kick it backwards 20 metres? he almost marked in just outside the goal square

 

[peterand]

Fmd I didn’t know Clarke was playing

Yes been quiet the kid

 

[DickieKnee]

We have no onfield leadership. Think we are finding out how great Cotchin was in our glory years.

might actually melt later
