Game Day Round 11 - Richmond v Essendon, Dreamtime at the G, Saturday 25/5/24, 7.40pm AEST

[MiguelM]

Need to move Martin to help the midfield. Defence will be fine without him

^^This.

About to say the same.

We came out with intensity in the 3rd against North, expect the same here.

Parish cox duurs not going to be back next week. The rest of the team need to find a way to cover.

 

[Hird05]

Need 2x Reid on our list asap

 

[Mootsy]

Need 2x Reid on our list asap

Harley Reid’s, yep.

 

[TheGrizz]

Richmond have been terrible from clearance this year, and were never any good in their heyday.

But they are trouncing us tonight and have scored 19 points to 1 from clearance.
Easy place to improve the 2nd half.

Goldy getting slaughtered in there. Writing has been on the wall for two weeks with him being tired.

At every ballup other than the centre bounce they have had two unmanned players.

This is pretty bad.

Hahahahahah we’re second on the ladder.

yep, should have played Bryan against WCE and saved him the trip west

 

[Blind Turn]

McGrath not nearly involved enough either which makes a difference.

 

[Happyskeret]

Mids have been the problem. Peeps have been over critical of the backline imo. I played backline most of my footy career and the worst thing is repeat entries. Sooner or later the dam wall will break if the mids don’t help.

Horrible stoppage work so far

 

[Aussie Assault]

Psychologically this team still cant move past taking 5% off against poor teams.

I think there is an element of poorer teams circling games against us because they know we will give them a chance. But we just dont have the fortitude that comes with being hunted regularly to go up a level and put teams away

They are in it at half time, and the longer they stay in touch then the more confidence they gain.

I think we still win fairly easily based on our fitness to run out games this year compared to theirs. Half their list is injured and I reckon that’ll show in the last quarter and a bit.

And Redman + Ridley are marking everything.

Its a payoff but we need to halve them better than we are.

 

[bommer16]

CMON BOMBERS!

 

[Mootsy]

were the only VIC team in the top 4,
Tiges should let us win :-(

 

[Yoda_]

front on contact not being paid tonight?

 

[The Donners]

McGrath was poor there.

 

[Mootsy]

McGrath and Martin should be in the midfield.

 

[MightyDon]

We are a mess

 

[mike14]

Glad we came back out switched on...

 

[the PILL]

Why are 75% of them asleep...?

 

[TheGrizz]

McGrath and Martin should be in the midfield.

With their defensive efforts so far?
Nah

 

[Happyskeret]

Macintosh is playing that young Heppell role of the quarter back. He has set up many plays for them.
