Game Day Round 4, 2024: Richmond v St.Kilda - Norwood Oval, Sunday 7th April, 3:20PM AEST *GATHER ROUND*

[cooperrules]

Do we have a leadership group asking for a friend

 

[SteeleSaints]

My god this is comical, where did this come from?

 

[Hubnester]

We're playing like everyone is recovering from the flu. Every player out there is looking lethargic and weak today, it's almost uncanny.

Need to pull our collective fingers out big time.

 

[Sainter1873]

That was as bad as I’ve seen but we’re a long way from the final siren. Plenty of time to correct course.

I think Owens has to go on the ball for a bit. He’s utterly confused in his current role. I’d bring in Hastie for Sharman or Caminiti for some run and carry. We need speed.

 

[mad-saint-guy]

Well this is rubbish.

We haven't been great since the start of the season, but this is a new level down.

Fumbly, panicky disposal, slow running and thinking, floppy marking.

Tigers look sharp, drilled and hungry. Everything I thought we'd be.

Rubbish

Well said

 

[BrutThough]

Sinclair looks a shell of his last season. He's average too.

No pre season has hurt him.

 

[Sab22]

We will outrun them next 2 quarters and comfortably win.

 

[Veer Right]

Byrnes, Membrey and Stocker - 3 players annoying me today. That is all.

 

[Jade Buddha]

Steele, NWM have been good. Others chicken shit.
Caminiti selection a mistake. Garcia should have gotten the nod.

This match screams a Sharman sub, just because Caminiti is rucking and helping Roma.

I still hate having the new guys as sub, there's no way for them to get the "feel" of the game and go from the start.

Byrnes, Membrey and Stocker - 3 players annoying me today. That is all.

Harsh on Stocker, he's cracking in.

 

[Premium]

Not sure where we go from here. Even if we come back from this there are some really bad signs for the future. We are a long way from a flag still. We closest resemble Essendon and Richmond. We almost be better to bottom out for a few years. We are probably years off a consistent finals side.

Max King isn't Lockett. He's more like Findlayson. He's quite a poor decision maker outside 50 and a very inconsistent kick on goal.

Midfield - the problem

can it be fixed

 

[MrFoster]

Owens needs to go back to the 2s. He looks lost.

He was never a mid.. he was a small forward in juniors, then after a growth spurt, played wing and pushing forward.. Inside mids need proper midfield craft, I can see it in Windhager, but Owens has not shown it yet.

 

[Banger9798]

We will outrun them next 2 quarters and comfortably win.

Exactly....and failing that I've got a big bag of weed.

 

[my name was taken]

Membrey snap at slow motion lands 20m from goal

Edit

Hill just made a worse one under no pressure, sorry membrey

 

[Munga]

Membrey, Hill, just about missed their boots under little pressure

Perhaps it's not flu but withdrawal..??? After the breaking drug testing news


Time to find some white line fever!

 

[pebblesofsand]

I thought the plan was speed, pace and precision kicking of the half back to set up clean entry into f50.

Looks like I was mistaken - looks like the preferred plan is slow dodgy movement followed by a long bomb - but only after the Tigers have time to drop everyone back into defence.

Well at least its saved me several $100's on a trip to Canberra for the GWS game.

 

[True Blue Saint]

GOT to kick that Hill. Far out

 

[Teflon]

How does a supposed good AFL kick in Hill miss that??? Joke

 

[Plugger35]

FFS Hill

Another easy shot butchered.

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

So many holding calls for Richmond?!

 

[mad-saint-guy]

That first miss by Hill is one of the worst I've ever seen

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Tigers fans were whinging about the umps screwing them over before the bounce today.

 

[HunterClarksHeadband]

This is going to cost us. Have to kick these - all this work for them to just go inside 50 once and score.
