Game Day Round 20, 2022 - Richmond vs. Brisbane Lions

[SizeMatters]

Hope the boys can hang on and ruin SizeMatters day

i want the Lions to win... I just don't wear rose coloured glasses.

Out coached. Hoping Fagan can make some moves. Needs to lock the ball inside 50. Slow the game down bring more stoppages. Play an extra around the ball. Tigers have opened the game up and they are very good at that style. They are weak on the inside and we should capatalise on it.

 

[CarterS]

We look tired, we are chasing them around! Worried!!

 

[Squizz89]

Yep. If it gets turned over, it's already 60m further from our goal, not 2 kicks away.

Yep sure I get it when the game is “in flow” but when a team has a run on and you’ve just kicked a goal with only a minute or so left surely the percentage play is just to clear the area and don’t risk a turnover in the middle?

That’s the types of things why I continue to have my doubts about Fages and this coaching staff. Nothing to do with wins or losses but just things like that, that premiership teams wouldn’t take for granted and would be aware of.

 

[MacMum]

Did they just say Oscar blocked Lynch despite marking the ball?!

Yes they did, we heard it very plainly......didn't see any blocking at all

 

[Harris Specter]

Wheres daniher, only wants free kicks and cheapies out the back. Needs to step up and win us this game

Hard for the forwards to do anything when the midfield is getting smashed + Bailey going off reduced our run

 

[Nathan Barley]

The fact this was predictable says it all.

Yes it is predictable that a team that has won 3 of 5e last 4 premierships won’t play shit for 4 quarters

 

[MSB ROYS]

This will be season defining if we win this by 3 goals or more.

 

[M Malice]

We’re not winning this. Umps won’t allow it

Nothing to do with the umpires, it's as simple as they just have more run than us.

 

[SizeMatters]

Umps are shit today but they aren't the reason why we have had our 42 point lead reduce to 11....

 

[FLVanLandingham]

this better not be a close finish

I'd rather us lose it early on than Richmond come back in the last second. screw that

 

[Mooch]

We’re not winning this. Umps won’t allow it

It's not the umps. We had plenty from them earlier and I really don't think they have been a factor overall.

 

[Gadzorks]

It's a race to 100pts now, lethal says first team to 100 wins.

103

 

[Macca180]

The fact this was predictable says it all.

yep when we were 42 points up I knew this shit would happen.

There needs to be new STATISTIC. How many times Adams let’s his opponents get goal side of him. He is flat out terrible!

Mate I get you are probably worked up in the heat of the game but stop referring to Adams as terrible. It is a disgrace. He was arguably our best player the first couple months of the season, has struggled to regain that form since he had covid, I am unsure if that has anything to do with it but either way, he’s one of our better players at his best. How about we back him in? The way Richmond were surging that quarter our defenders had no chance. Seriously pull your head in.

He knows he's written off if the ball hits the ground, so he needs to fly for the spoil.

Devastating when he misses though.

 

[Saucery]

In five of Richmond’s seven losses this year (Round 1 vs. Carlton, Round 3 vs. St Kilda, Round 11 vs Sydney, Round 15 vs. Geelong and Round 17 vs. Gold Coast) its led in the fourth quarter only to get run over the top of.

I might go back to “Hamilton”

How good is the King in Hamilton?

 

[almagoo]

3/4 time couldn’t come quick enough. God I hope we hold on…but either way surely this is the last time we see a back up ruck sub.

 

[martinson]

We just needed to be a bit steadier when we did have opportunities.

We've got too many big players on the ground but we're in front and can still win it.

 

[scoman]

We don't recover from this if we lose, its genuinely season over.

On the other hand if we win, its a big moment for our footy club and could just give us the confidence we need.

I'm not sure a home and away game has been so important, especially against a relatively average side.

 

[alscotoz2]

Biggest quarter of the year coming up. Contenders or pretenders

 

[Jivlain]

Just throw it up. The bounce is not working.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Last thing we need is Nankervis to dominate the ruck

 

[M Malice]

3/4 time couldn’t come quick enough. God I hope we hold on…but either way surely this is the last time we see a back up ruck sub.

Ah Chee dumped without it
