Game Day Round 22, 2022: Richmond v Hawthorn, MCG 1:10pm

[Max Powers]

Getting bullied like we always do against em.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Jeez JOM has a lot of his kicls smothered doesn't he. Killed us there

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Ugly start.

Looking forward to our second half chargeback

 

[CHUBBSS]

What happened?

Massive corkie from a tackle

 

[Billyc]

I'm all for trying different things but let's not gift Lynch a dozen.

Blanck has had a couple nice wins but if the ball is going to pile in as often as it has this quarter, Sicily will need to go back to his usual role

 

[madhawksfan]

Midfield are absolutely shocking. McEvoy getting a lesson.

 

[grumbleguts]

Heads up boys, there's a lot of richmonding still to come.

 

[TylerDurden]

We've dialed this in already.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

We have not turned up. Can only put it down to having nothing to play for.
Giving up 15 inside 50s in 5 mins was a bad start

 

[Danton]

This is going to get ugly

 

[H00t]

getting thumped in the midfield

Sicily is an absolute gun but his main assets are his kicking and marking.

Always going to be up against it with him in the middle.

 

[Jables]

Shambolic but when the midfield isnt winning the footy, you cant blame a bunch of defenders with barely any games between them.

 

[Billyc]

Their key forwards have kicked 4 goals already.

Due to 20 inside 50s.

Can't blame key defenders when the following players have 2 or less possessions after a quarter of footy: Breust, Impey, Nash, Day, Morrison, Serong, McEvoy, Kosi, Moore, Ward, Shiels

It's been a demolition job in the middle

 

[TylerDurden]

Getting bullied like we always do against em.

This.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

We've taken our best defender out of that end, and we're getting it pumped in their consistently.

Happy that the commentators are banging on about how 'intriguing" it is, rather than suggesting that we're tanking.

 

[RhinotheFC]

Geez the ball just sits up so nicely for the Richmond players. Here comes 100pt flogging

 

[Crankyhawk]

Ugh direct handball to player pretty much being tackled

 

[H00t]

Their key forwards have kicked 4 goals already.

18 inside 50’s to 6. Our defence has done well to hold up as well as it has. The lift needs to come from the middle

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Midfield are absolutely shocking. McEvoy getting a lesson.

He's winning the taps, but the midfield is letting it bounce

 

[Stranglers]

This isn't going to do wonders for Jeka's confidence.

 

[Hawks1994]

Prestia is running rampant

 

[deanc]

Getting smashed from center clearances, then being outnumbered in general contests etc. - not sure how long Mitchell with persist with the Sicily experiment..?

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Midfield getting flogged
Only positive is Jeka so far
Finn going well too
Defence going ok overall but weight of numbers killing us

 

[badgrill]

Commentators don't seem to realise the opposition Tigers are playing. Not like it's 1st vs 2nd

 

[RX Hawk]

Our young guys will learn and they will come out with added experience after a game like this. Be patient guys.
