Autopsy Round 19 Richmond vs GWS - Roast, Toast & Changes

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Sorry, really should use the .
My favourite AFL stat for the play em in their position brigade is that Rutten's first 3 kicks in AFL were goals

I wasnt sure if you were taking the piss or not!
That was against us wasn't it?
Or maybe I'm thinking of Bock?
I always got those two mixed up.

Gee Riewoldt is a pea heart when a good defender gets a hold of him.

More in the literal sense than not. Good defenders know the rules change when it comes to Riewoldt. They are allowed to hold and scrag as much as they like because whatever is happening in the contest it is always because 'Riewoldt is a petulant child/sook/etc = no free'.

The amount of shit he has to deal with from defenders is unbelievable. It's not just in the marking contest either, it starts way back when he's first trying to gain a break away.

And FWIW, he could've easily finished with 3 or 4 if he'd taken a few of those half chances that he normally does on every other day.

 

[Rumballs]

OK, started watching the replay.
I'm 2 minutes in.
Everything that is great and FFS about Griff in a minute.
Handball lobbed toward him, doesn't get near it, doesn't tackle the GWS player who took it
Then crunches a pack and feeds off as he goes to ground.

But I really hope people notice the selfish, immature Jack Riewoldt.
Axel tackles, Cotch goals.
Everyone streams to Cotch.
Not Jack. He's going to the guy who made the goal possible.

Freo for Rutten.
Yeah, Bock - his first two kicks.

 

[SplintWhisky]

Based on the last few weeks in the VFL the change I see happening is Grigg to come back in

 

[captain cotch 9]

if you actually watched it, he doesn't make contact with his head. It's a glancing blow to the back of his neck. 2 weeks max.

Still a dog act and a very bad look for the game.
IMO worse than Vickerys.

Definitely worse than Vickery's, but I'm not sure that will be reflected in the sentence.

Need to have a light week on the track to freshen up a bit I think. Looked a bit flat after the WCE slog.... Did enough to win the game but as per usual played in bursts. Basically put the cue in the rack at half time, brought it out again for the last but after 3 mins and 2 goals, knew we'd done enough and put it away again.....

Happy with Griff's game first up in a while. Took some good clunks, competed well in the . Should play the whole season now.

Need to be prepared to run and pressure against the Bombers who love uncontested outside ball, they have good skills and if you give them time, they'll chop you up.

Outs: Conca (susp), Gordon (needs a full game so back to the VFL, not impacting as sub)
Ins: Grigg (I don't want him but he did do a lot of good work on Sat), McDonough

Lucky: Lloyd (he's still a dangerous forward, gives us an option but we do need more out of him). Thomas (so slow but with Conca out he stays to provide grunt)

 

[thecotch]

What Conca did was a disgrace

outside play

behind the man

and a hit that could have potentially cause great hard

nothing nice I can say about it, and very disappointed in him

he's better than that

Was a dog act. This undisciplined crap needs to be stamped out if we are to be a fair dinkum serious contender. Very disappointing Reece.

What about Jericho?

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

What about Jericho?

I vaguely remember that name. Was he crows too?

 

[tigs2010]

Yep. Pretty sure he kicked 5. Never did another thing lol

 

[TigerAndy]

Had a corporate box. Got smashed. Watched very little of the second half as I was bored shit less.

Tried a new drink that cost about $22 a glass. I'm at crown staring at a pokie machine. That escalated quickly.

What a day/night. Told the missus I'd be home for tea.....

Having a corporate box and being home for tea is just never going to happen unless you mean you will be home for tea on Tuesday.....

 

[TigerAndy]

thoughts on Batchelor ? 9 possesions in 2 games

Sound more like a married man than a batchelor with 9 touches.....

 

[Sol23]

Surely he got touched up when he had his jumper pulled over his head(or before even)? I cant see that reaction for just that...........

Yer I rekon, it was a brainfade but gee he didn't knock him out

 

[Tigers_fan24]

Still a dog act and a very bad look for the game.
IMO worse than Vickerys.

In terms of looks I agree somewhat, but in turns of potential damage and actual damage caused physically? no where near at all

 

[TheAnt]

Have to say I don't really buy all these arguments about blokes playing in non preferred positions or away from where the played junior footy.
How many blokes do you reckon were gun full backs,back pockets or taggers etc as juniors???
None.

That's a fair point. I just think that he's got 2 positions where he's good at and we should try him there and then judge where he's at as a player.

 

[TheAnt]

Key area for each side:
Richmond:

• Clearances are a one of their deficiencies so breaking even there is important for them.

Bombers board always good for a laugh..

 

[_DBF_]

Cotchin Thomas miles Edwards Martin Deledio ... All guns at the stoppage

 

[NZ_Tiger]

Untwist your panties ladies. Barely hit him. We should bring in Arnot next week to lay out Heppell and really give some people something to whinge about, ala Kevin Skinner.

 

[_DBF_]

Arnot won't hit anyone. Just lay rib crunching hip and shoulder

 

[richolovesgoal]

Out: Conca, Lloyd

In: Grigg, McDonough (play his forward pls)

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

I'd be inclined to perhaps give Arnot a shot or Helbig as Conca plays a pretty important role and there is an opportunity there for one of those guys to be the in and under guy.
I'll go with Arnot.
I'll take a stab at
In- Grigg,Arnot,McDonough
Out-Gordon,Conca,Lloyd
