Autopsy Round 3: Richmond v Adelaide @ Etihad - Changes for West Coast

[DrMike]

Warning to Opposition supporters: Nothing you could say or do to troll would equate to the experience of being a Richmond supporter so just save your time.

Warning to All: Posters that make troll or insincere votes will lose their BigFooty privileges to do so for a month (it also takes away other access such as liking posts, creating threads and sending PM's so consider yourself forewarned).

This is the game Autopsy thread, keep player/coach abuse out of it and keep discussion relevant to the game. Not saying you can't vent, just don't make it malicious. Abusing other posters will be treated even more seriously. If you want to talk "sack coach" use the other thread.

The MVP voting allows you to vote for up to 5 players that you think performed the best today. If you don't think there were 5 then don't use all the votes. If you don't think there were any then don't vote.

NO VOTES. SHIT.

 

[Rubber Hips]

We always start slow

 

[Nostradumbass]

We always start slow

Why? They have months over summer? Why don't other clubs start slow?

 

[Tiger Titus]

When did we regress to a team that can't execute fundamental skills. The goals from turnovers made this very hard to watch.....

 

[sante]

Going to be a shit week at work


Rubbish effort.

We have a very tough run so unless we find some form we're cooked

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

To unfit and to many lazy pricks.
Vickery , Dustin and Grigg just don't work hard enough especially when the opposition has the footy .

 

[mcuzzy]

Just punched my pet crow in the face

Edit: #NoDeledioNoRichmond

 

[spackler]

6 goal loss flattering.

Gerard Healy - 'the tigers have got some problems'
Captain obvious

 

[DustinsGuns]

Biggest disappointment was Vlastuin.

Played in the middle in the last quarter and showed us all why Dimma plays him in the back pocket.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

#whosedeledio ?

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

positives cotchin 32 disposals 6 clearances 6 tackles tried his guts out all game cant knock that from the skipper
hampson 11 disposals 34 hit outs and a goal his best game in yellow and black think he beat sauce today take a bow shaun


negatives dimma has no plan b and is a shit house matchday coach
vlas touted as the next skipper 5 disposals is not up to standard
astbury is the slowest player in the comp absolutely shit house today

 

[DustinsGuns]

Lennon also looks like he is a 50/50 chance of making a career of a 3rd defender. Great kick. Can't do much else. Slow as a treacle.

 

[Rubber Hips]

If only we had Lids in the side

 

[DustinsGuns]

Yep positives Cotch, houli, Hampson

Negs vlas, miles.

What happened to miles?

 

[SunshineBoy]

Cotchin hammer and Macca were good, Lloyd did well there's no vote for the umpires Doc

 

[mattt]

More kicks, handballs, more contested possessions, more marks, more contested marks, more marks inside 50 (15-4!), more tackles, more frees.

Scores from turnovers? Less

 

[SpudsLoveChild]

Lousy game plan that was poorly executed.
Too many kids
Lots of passengers

Piss poor D-

 

[TiggerMan22]

86 of their points came from turnovers.
We also start with shit kicking early on and get better as the year goes on.

 

[rfctiger90]

Disappointing game.

But there were some positives.

Hampson stand up, took a few marks, kicked a goal, and probably BEAT Jacobs who is one of the best in the comp. Definite positive. And played through injury.

Rioli as well. Kicked a couple. Is looking a lot like a player.

Cotch, leaders game. Enough said.

We played well in patches. Our defence is obviously the issue. We're just too slow getting back. Our inexperience showed in close when the pressure went up too. When guys come back in we'll be OK.

Menadue had a shocker. That's ok, you can't dominate every week when you've played 8 games.

Chappy may have just finished his career. Just looks lost. Feel sorry for him.

Look at the stats though, we were even in a lot of categories except inside 50s and scores. Although every scoring shot they had more than us was a goal. Lots of easy goals out the back.

Oh and too many poor kicks when not under pressure. Too much handball. We smashed them in the air and did well at ground level. We just need to roll the dice and go long instead of chipping it and handballing it around.

We just need to regroup. It's disappointing being 1-2 when we should be 2-1.

 

[I_Love_Thee_V]

Hampson that is all

 

[Lsta062]

Too many bad disposers of the ball. The sad thing is, disposing of the ball is the heart of this game.

Making finals from here will probably just paper over the cracks like it did the last few years. Disappointing

 

[Gentlemen]

Hammer was pretty good.

Good problem to have with Maric returning.

Keep Short/Rioli in. Not much else to say

 

[docko911]

Brandon Ellis needs to be dropped.

He wastes so much ball, he's the new shitter version of Grigg 3-4 years ago.

Our coach is an absolute joke. Never seen a coach do less in the box than this absolute loser. Anyone wonder why we lack leadership??? Because our coach offers none on gameday and leaves the players to wear it all.

Changes

Out: B.Ellis, C.Ellis, Short, Rioli
In: Townsend, Maric, Moore, Batchelor

B: Batchelor, Astbury, Chaplin

[SplintWhisky]

Adelaide where harder at it and cleaner. We didn't want to work to get numbers to the ball. I think Brown's article sums it up, we have no players that are hard and willing to tell a teammate to "get it ****ing done".
