Game Day Round 8 : Dreamtime versus Essendon

[tugga]

That was disgraceful by Martin.

 

[Colonel Matrix]

Great..that's really great... now Im going to hear about Stanton at work on Monday... that's just absolutely great

 

[tunksy]

Poor grimes really feel for him. Gotta hope it isn't as bad as he made that look. Don't rush astbury back in. We are done for the game now I feel.

 

[tugga]

Why is this game a shootout?
Coaching panel getting killed tonight. Poor performance.

 

[Tigez 4 Life]

may aswell go home horrible performance

 

[johnno77]

Wow. Not sticking tackles and falling all over the place. Easily the worst we have played all year. Enough said.

 

[RichosGuns]

Rance playing his worst game for the club.

Lay a tackle ffs!!!

 

[richcogs]

Wow 6 goals down at half time!

Massive loss if Grimes is out for the season, massive, means we will have to play the spud Post!

 

[Harmichael]

Nahas is gone! Too scared to take the game on.

Two year extension more likely.

 

[nobulltiger]

Grimes gone is season gone, sad. We need to recruit like we did with big maric for our backline.

 

[_RT_]

We are really going to find out what we're made of in the second half. All I want to see is us fight the game out.

I don't think they want a shoot out TBH, Essendon just have so much speed and are too slick around the stoppages.

 

[RichosGuns]

Why the is Grimes out for the year?

Has he torn the hammy from the bone again?

 

[RichosGuns]

Deledio and Maric are the only two switched on out their tonight.

Cotchin and Martin have to kick those goals

 

[Harmichael]

Rance playing his worst game for the club.

Lay a tackle ffs!!!

Rance may have come a long way, but he still he as long way to go IMO. Still many definciences in his game.

His body language on the bench didn't look good (almost look close to tears) so I think it might be serious.

 

[Bird Man]

We need a killer third Q or we are cooked

I think we can still jump into 1 to 2 goal deficit then challenge in the 4th

 

[Put a Lids on it]

This is the Richmond we know gotta love it.

 

[tugga]

I don't think they want a shoot out TBH, Essendon just have so much speed and are too slick around the stoppages.

Why though?
In my opinion, we should be making this a low scoring scrap.
For all the bagging I do of Essendon, I am actually impressed with them this year.
We are not capable of getting into a shootout with them.
If we kick 15, they will kick 20.
This should be a 22 goal game. Winning side kicks 12, losing kicks 10.
Coaching panel have performed as badly as the players so far.

 

[peterbuch74]

Could ill afford the injury to Grimesy... disappointing night so far.

Getting smashed everywhere. When we're coming out of the backline the players further up the field are simply not working hard enough.

 

[sante]

This is the Richmond we know gotta love it.

Not really but it feels like it. Poor Grimes We are toast.

 

[Turmoil]

I love how we are smaller and still get beaten for pace and spread, so frustrating....
Fitness/weights staff need a good look at. Essendons has done a fantastic job with their players.

 

[Gentlemen]

Jordan Bannister is ripping us apart, his best game ever for Essendon.

 

[RichosGuns]

Miller, Dea and King.

We are playing with 19 players tonight

Sorry I wasn't clear - I'm sure our coaching panel don't want it to be a shoot-out, but the bombers are unrelenting and our midfield & defence is falling apart at the seams.
