Autopsy Roast vs Geelong & Changes Vs Adelaide

[Lunchtime]

30 point loss but Richmond never gave up. Tigers are 17th on the ladder, massive injury list & it took Geelong (on thier home ground) to put us away midway through the 4th qtr. There's good signs for Richmond. We are on the right track. Rebuild well and truly on and that's fine. All we want is effort - we got that.

Something to build on going forward.

 

[captain cotch 9]

Broad, Short, Pickett out
Blight, Bolton, Taranto in

 

[Simche]

Don’t really understand what people were expecting given the side don’t have the fitness to maintain the pressure they put on in the first half.

The fitness and young bodies not being able to stick tackles is what fundamentally lost us the game. The clearance diff turned right around in the cats favour.

In: whoever is fit
Out: I’d love for Pickett to be out of the side

 

[Hans Klopek]

I'll blame Pickett with that horrendous error at the end of the second quarter. Instead of kicking deep into 50 with a 28 point lead he tries the most embarrassing move in recent memory and falls flat on his face. The Cats run down and get an easy goal and the entire game turns.

Baker head and shoulders above any other player

 

[tiger_tough]

Short can **** right off.

Pathetic

How can his kicking all of a sudden be so bad?

 

[DustinsGuns]

Onward and upward.

Heaps to like tonight. We are playing a brand that isn't unwatchable again. Sure we were shocking in the last, but Christ, when we were good we were good. And before last week, we haven't been good for a long time.

Go tiges.

Out: Pickett (inj ) Martin (Managed) Lefau (inj) Smith (Disgraceful treatment/made no sense) broad

Hugo was huge
McAuliffe magnificent.
Kids looked pretty good.

Agree. Not all doom and gloom. Just gloom

 

[jetbhag]

Red time goals and dumb mistakes by senior players seems to be a common theme this year.

Is it possibly for our players to stick tackles?

Dusty rested for Bolton maybe lefau out for Malcolm (blight) to debut which means balta forward.

 

[Ctl]

probably should have done better from the positon we were in, can't ever be happy giving up a 29 point lead. Effort was there for the most part, but fell short.

Not that sold on the kids, some stepped up and looked at the level but mostly as role players. Lack young guns

 

[tigs2010]

No words

 

[tiger_tough]

Balta should never play in the forward line again

Then he stands there with a shit eating smile holds his hand up .... Oops sorry guys that's on me.

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

That’s why so many including me say he needs to play forward.

His brain snaps, which are regular, costs us a goal every time.

 

[Blinger]

Good effort from the kids, some half assed efforts from some of our senior players.

 

[Lsta062]

Great first half. We saw vintage Dusty and promising signs from Campbell, Brown, and McAuliffe.

The second half was mostly terrible unfortunately. Effort that was there in the first half went away. I saw players just give up chasing after 4-5 steps. Our defenders just stopped playing to the dimensions of the ground and started kicking towards the wing like they’re playing at the MCG. Obviously resulted in so many out on the full kicks.

Not the worst game though. I can at least tolerate losses like this rather than the mess that was the Brisbane and Bulldogs games.

Now onto the roasts.

First one is that we lost the free kicks after leading by something like 9-1 in the first quarter. Very typical of the umps.

My biggest roast is us playing Kaleb Smith so late in his debut game. His family flew down from Perth. They’re obviously here to watch him play, so you simply do not play with players like that. I don’t like clubs debuting players as a sub to begin with, but to play him with something like 12 mins left in the 4th when the game was done pissed me off. What a way to fizz his debut

who won?

football

 

[SavDog23]

Pantsed the cats for a half and then cruised the rest of the game to secure pick 2.

Happy with that.

 

[tiger_tough]

McAuliffe had 2 touches in the 2nd half. Going to be a gun when he gets a tank.

 

[DustinsGuns]

The first half was great... but completely unexpected.

I thought we would lose this by 15 goals+.

Not sure why everyone is reacting as if we are the same team were 4 years ago?

Meehan has taken these elite fitness blokes, cut their fitness level by 95% and have had their skills drop by 95%

I think we'd go ok if we added in Bolton, Prestia, Tarranto, Hopper, Lynch, Gibcus, & Ross

Dad's Army aren't winning anything with their list. Years of pain coming for the pussies.

His calves are ****ed

2 touches, #2 draft pick, it cant be a coincidence.
