Autopsy Roast & toast vs Melbourne and changes for round 21 vs Western Bulldogs

[Growapair]

Have at it.
disappointing finish.
we let petty kick 6. Let that sink in.
finals now pretty much out of the equation.

 

[Sol23]

I've had it with Graham.

Same he’s just not up too it.

 

[SDMTiger4]

The decision was done by the playing group and coaches.

Wasn't it run by some consulting group? We all know what happens when they get involved. Co-captains never work

 

[biaseddustyfan]

I turned it off when broad got his head taken off and the shemans got another gift

its just not worth it

 

[Noidnadroj]

Cant fit a guy who kick 6 in vfl last week into this stellar forwardline?

We kicked 98 points from 45 inside-50’s. If you think our forward line was the problem tonight you don’t understand football. We gave up 70+ inside-50’s …. You very very rarely win doing that.

big David astbury would have been handy today

Ben Mackay ?

 

[SplintWhisky]

Lynch wont help our midfield. We got smashed in there. We were saved by Dustys first 2 and a half quarters, the last quarter and a half, no forward is helping us when the ball lives at the other end of the ground.

We got smashed in there because Gawn rocked up in the second half and monstered Soldo and Balta. But if we had a target that could provide a good contest down the line we would of been able to exit D50 with a bit more confidence.

 

[fargothegreat]

I'd love to see us accept that we can't match it with the top teams at the moment and spend the last four games playing blokes that have a future at the club.

 

[peterand]

Mini has no balls to make any chnages. Or drop any oldies who aren’t performing

Seriously why did they give Grimes another year he’s been poor all year lost a yard loses one on ones and falls over more than anyone and now he’s dropping chest marks
Cost us over 6 goals today
Need a statement from Big Benny both Cotch and Jack should come out and announce they are retiring and have one farewell match
Play Biggie Bauer Brown Sonsie Cumberland so we can see what they are like
Also think we need to bring an outside coach in our game plan has stagnated and we need some serious tweaking to the plan

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

I give my blessing for benny gale to go to the afl and be second in charge to stop this farrken corruption

benny needs to be at the afl next year

Yep. I also give Benny my blessing to go and take out the garbage Steven Seagal style.

 

[SplintWhisky]

Ben Mackay ?

With his injury history we may end up seeing him start playing games for us year 3 into his 5 year contract

 

[Groupie_]

does andrew dillion watch us ?

hes meant to be a Richmond supporter and he lets us be reamed like that week in week out ?

 

[tropicaltiger]

More than serviceable for mine.
Soldo actually won his fair share of taps and we were up in clearances until the last quarter.
I dont see how Nank or Ryan would have done any better.
Gawn put the superman cape on, nobody could stop him.

100 PERCENT

No thought Soldo did well where we got smashed was when for about 15 minutes in the last he was on the bench WHY I don’t know can only assume he was injured
Then you have to ask why sub Miller when Grimes was probably having his worst game ever

 

[aislegi]

yet we were 20 points up a couple of times against the team that will probably end up flag favourites in a couple of weeks get your hand off your Ballsack mate

We were good at times - Dusty, in particular, did some outstanding things - but we also really poor at others. I mean, I know Gawn's a good player but it's not as though he's unpredictable or especially skilful at ground level yet - all day long - we just let him potter about racking up uncontested possessions.

 

[Groupie_]

are they still reaming us over what balmey said to the scumps like 5 years ago LMAO

 

[peterand]

Today was story of our year. Not good enough against the top 4-5 teams, tried but can’t go the 4 quarters. Cotch and Jack are cooked and will retire, reckon Grimes would be gone also if they held off on offering another year, can’t be captain next year as unlikely in best 22. Desperately miss Lynch, need to see some games put into Bauer and Brown now.

Correct assumption and agree with you 100%

 

[tigerdan]

Some of you guys are melting way too hard.

 

[Noidnadroj]

dropping our heads in the final quarter..huge disappointment
the umpiring for our games is beyond a joke now..lodge a complaint for the love of God!!!!

We’ve received 119 frees in the last 10 matches at an average of 11.9 per game. I wonder what the previous record is for a 10-match stretch? I’d say around 140 if I had to guess.

Banks should remain in the side for the rest of the season. Nank and Short will return that's a given.

I wasn't saying I agreed with the changes, it's just what I think will happen.

 

[peterand]

Have to play kids now. What the * is the MC thinking. We have only beaten poor teams this year. It's not a coincidence.

Guys performing at VFL MUST get games. Especially guys like Cumberland, Sonsie and Clarke who have shown signs at the level

Correct bring them in NOW

 

[smasha]

9 frees to 1 last quarter.
What a rort.

 

[Truetiger]

I wasn't saying I agreed with the changes, it's just what I think will happen.

Yeah I new that, It's a shame its going to happen until the club believe we can't make the eight and play for the future.

 

[Groupie_]

still amazed over the 5% of campaigners who still reckon umps dont play a part

 

[dorianyates]

Our midfield cant defend which gives up way too many easy goals. Martin and Bolton dont defend, Cotchin, Prestia, Hopper and Taranto are too slow. We give up way too many easy goals through the middle that kill us.

Yes I agree the midfield is a bit disappointing considering the recruits they brought in. It puts way too much pressure on the backline and doesn’t help the ordinary forward line Richmond have at the moment.
Getting Himmelberg would be great but they would still be 1 fun midfielder short.
