Game Day Round 12: Essendon v Richmond, Dreamtime at the... O? Saturday June 5, 7.40pm AEST, 5.40pm local

[JT_the_Man]

Parish, Merrett, Cox and Langford have been bright spots.

 

[tandino]

More than close enough if good enough. Real intriguing litmus test this next half.

 

[MiguelM]

Gotta get Stringer & Tippa into the game.

 

[Oraz]

Waterman/Stringer/Ambrose in the midfield/on martin?

 

[Beerfish]

I should never have come. The footy gods know I'm here. I've jeopardised the whole mission.

 

[Stopher]

Is Stringer playing?

He wasn't til this point last week either.

 

[Mootsy]

Waterman needs to go into the guts

Stewart forward, hooker back, waterman to the middle.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Feel like we should be down 40 especially when factoring in the umpire influence, so the fact that it’s only 20 gives me some hope.

 

[Duckworth]

Not all of it is on Stewart. Richmond are outworking our midfielders, even more so with McGrath and Snelling not in the team to apply pressure. Any defenders are going to look bad without pressure in the middle.

 

[Stopher]

Gotta get Stringer & Tippa into the game.

Like 7 days ago!

 

[Ati Tude]

Parish in the meantime on his way to a half century

And an AA jacket

 

[bomberlegend2007]

We are not ready yet. We will be soon, but now is not our time.

 

[Jobe Watson]

What do you think we drafted Reid for

To replace Hurley.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Stewart forward, hooker back, waterman to the middle.

Can you honestly imagine Hooker trying to chase someone on a lead?

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Cox doing well. Might be a chance at his RS nom if he can keep going (but has faded in 2nd halves of late).

Going to be hard to top the game by Poulter today. Also he performed in a close win, which they always put more weight on.

Cox has been good today. Frustrates me hes in the ruck and we're not playing Bryan but its whatever.

 

[Vander18]

I should never have come. The footy gods know I'm here. I've jeopardised the whole mission.

Well done dickhead

 

[JT_the_Man]

To be fair to Stewart not one of those frees to Coleman-Jones were there imo.

 

[Boogers]

Is this Ambrose's first game since the end of 2019?

 

[sameolds33]

Stewart forward, hooker back, waterman to the middle.

Hooker's far too slow for the Tigers forward line

 

[Mootsy]

Can you honestly imagine Hooker trying to chase someone on a lead?

maybe

100% correct

Richmonds delivery into their fwdline is chalk and cheese compared to ours

 

[Nicholas61]

We have had nothing from a quarter of the team yet still thereabouts. Wont take much here

If guys aren’t going to get the pill at least make life hard pressure them and close space

 

[sameolds33]

I know he missed the goal but how good to see Ambrose back!

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Well done dickhead

Soon as I saw him coming on line I thought “oh **** no!”

 

[MiguelM]

Could have easily been 40 down. Just a bit slow to release the ball at times.

3rd quarter massive. We just could not nail 2 or 3 in a row. Tigers got some arsey goals.
