Review Round 2, 2024 vs Richmond - Boak’s 350th

[Nelso]

5 goal win at the G against a side, hungry to win. Not a bad afternoon. Lots of improvement to come.

You're kidding.

That should have been a 10 goal win minimum against that Richmond line up.

 

[Rowd072]

Good win. Best umpiring we have had for years. Loved how agitated Richmond fans were getting.

 

[PPort]

How bad was that score review off DBJ's volley?

" I want to see if it hit the post"!

Was in by a metre. FMD.

Can't umpies get the boot for time wasting - it happened twice FFS!

 

[chiwigi]

Stop putting Finlayson in the ruck! We’d be better off with McEntee doing it!

 

[backtozero]

Apart from the poor kicking for goal, my biggest concern is that we shouldn't be letting a team that bad have 27 scoring opportunities. The whole team needs to tighten up on defence.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Rozee was absolutely horrific. If you thought he was good you must've been watching a different game. It felt like he had about 15 clangers.

Went at 50% DE. Just an awful game.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Did enough, looked amazing in patches, poor in others. If we learn to play 4 quarters, we’ll blow some teams out of the water.

• Defence was poor.
• Still not convinced by Mead or Burgoyne.
• Williams over Jones should be automatic. Baffling that it isn’t.
• Loved Farrell and Drew.
• DBJ should never be allowed to cut his hair again.
• No idea when Shai Bolton is out of contract, but can we please throw money at him.

Crows have offered him $1m a year

Don’t quite understand the Burton comments. Been good over two weeks.

Drew really coming into his own, clearly amongst our best today.

The one that bothers me is Rioli. Barely reasonable last week, poor this week.

Don’t know what to make of Jones. Presence is felt but ….

Finlayson has a reprieve after a crap six quarters.

Solo needs to do a bit more around the ground, and yes, better than the carcass of Lycett.

Rozee and Butters great game.

Richmond seemed so much cleaner with the ball but had way more changers.

We won.

 

[Scodges]

What surprised me about this game, was we actually won a milestone game.

Well to be fair "I want to make sure we hit our required metrics for Crypto.com" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

 

[PJ Power]

We all sit here and criticise our goal kicking.
My man DBJ with 3 straight.....
All silly comments aside I thought he was pretty useful today.

Had a great last quarter.

Honestly reckon we might have played 18th and 17th in round 1 and 2. Tiges looked shocking - they need to hit a hard rebuild.

I’d put money on Richmond finishing higher than Norf.

 

[Moo87]

Really happy to see a win for Boak’s milestone game. A concerning first half, some players down on form, but a very impressive turnaround from half time.

BZT was excellent. Both he and Ratugolea have made a noticeable difference strengthening our backline.

Marshall had a great game, and importantly I think we started to target him more, rather than the default bomb it on Dixons head. 7 marks inside 50, 10 score involvements and 4 goals is a great return.

Finlayson getting his confidence back and starting to nail his chances is significant too.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I like these weekends when Port wins and the Crows lose - should happen more often.

It's been a good few years for that.

Absolutely how I saw it. Was also uncharacteristically hesitant near contests. Not his best. A lot of his touches seemed to be from receiving short, uncontested passes.

 

[PAFC27]

We aren’t competing this year lol

Limped over the line against a VFL team. Kicked away when they were gassed. This game style is terrible and will be promptly found out each and every time we play an actual competitor.

 

[Phar Ted]

Burgoyne did some nice stuff. Looks a true wingman

I really want this to be the case but he does not appear to have a decent penetrating kick when it's needed.

 

[Chrizzt]

Getting lots of 2017 vibes from this year. High scoring but getting shredded on counter attack from smalls.

20 scoring shots last week and 27 this week against poor sides is not sustainable top 4 footy

They lost to Carlton last week by less than a goal.

It’s a shame. He’s winning his share of the ball and holds up in contests. Spreads and runs well. But there’s nothing reliable about his kicking going into 50.

 

[NoddyHolder]

BZT is having an excellent start to his time here. Gave Lynch a bath today.

We won that trade. Dodoro is a ****ing idiot for giving him up so easy

 

[SupportMe]

Decent second half with all the tall forwards getting involved.

Got killed by speed in the first half.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Crows have offered him $1m a year

Supposedly offered that to Petty, how many $1M contracts do they have in them?

 

[PAFC27]

They lost to Carlton last week by less than a goal.

GWS lost to West Coast last year. Doesn’t change my opinion.

 

[NoddyHolder]

the commentary unironically being shocked at how little Travis has played at the MCG ruined a decent game of footy

Victorian based commentators just assume every footballer plays 60% of their games at 'theGee'
