Autopsy Swans Avada Kedavra the frack outta Richmond 122-78

[Ticky009]

And we all know you get a little flustered for the backmen.

Guilty as charged.

 

[Ticky009]

Had to go back and watch the replay.

Last night was a mix of red wine and tears.
Wife worked with the paramedic who was murdered yesterday. 11 years as mates.

Oh noe. My condolences to yr wife. All of sydney pretty much up in arms about it, so tragic.

 

[Neverwas]

yeah, but blakey's so nimble ... godzilla is not nimble

That was one of the gutsiest wins of recent memories.
Reminded me of the passion that started during covid times.

You can see the side just transition and mature. So well coached by horse and co.

I think everyone else has summed up the ups n downs . However, mentally, that was a season defining match.

My sympathies to your wife and all HCW.
<virtual hugs>

Seems fair and legal

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

Roberts is a tough kid. You can see it every time there is a loose ball or one on one. Very determined and hungry. Will be a regular before the end of next year.

Red headed Hannebery

Stephens has been getting the ball, and has been playing his role pretty well, running up and down the field, his disposal by foot has just been terrible...

True

though his disposal efficiency is better than Warner and Gulden

When Warner and Gulden turn it over I kinda understand what they were going for, when Stephens turns it over I have no clue what he was thinking.

 

[Punts]

He has been terrible the last 2 weeks

Runs hard no doubt

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

Backline Mills
Wing Mills
Inside mid Mills
Forward Mills

4 would be delightful

What about Mills on the bench for when Mills gets tired. And also Mills as sub in case Mills gets injured. We really need 6 x Mills.

He should have told BT to get on the scales

I could be completely wrong, but I feel like Stephen’s is not a very agile or compact player. He takes big strides (so changing direction to gain space is hard) and his kicks have a bit of a wind up (eg. compare with Warner who just stabs the thing with no backswing).

I think this means that Stephens struggles a bit when the pressure rises, space is tight or it’s a wet game.

He could try to change how he moves but this would be a slow burn. I think more so he needs to build confidence to take his first option without delay so he has more time to execute.

 

[Ticky009]

blakey

Blakey was shocking, he'd go streaming into the forward line from midfield, make 40 different plans, execute non of them and stuff it up completely.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Even in victory we need to find whipping boys.

Stephens was fine.

McI was fine.

Harry did his job.

And if you think anyone in the 2’s is screaming “pick me!” (With Sheldrick injured), think again.

Set shot he is reliable I reckon

Yeah, didn't feel like I was criticising him. We rely on him a lot for outlet kicks and pressuring opposition players.

 

[The King!]

Stephens runs his guts out, he has been jerked around a lot, least of our concerns at the moment, it will all click as the gap between best and worst closes.


He is quick, runs at top speed the most, and gets to a lot of contests

I was driving for work last night so only got to watch the game now. Some thoughts:

1. That last eight minutes. Wow.

2. Tongue Papley. Also wow. Pretty much everything went right for him, but that's because his work rate was insane. He made his own luck.

3. Until the hammy pop, Amartey had the "Ladies and Gentlemen, we are witnessing the arrival of a new football talent" feel about him. So sad about the injury, but I think we might just have a real good 'un there.

4. Some on here are a bit hard on Hayden McLean

. I think it was an almost night for him.

5. And I think people are way too hard on Hakka. I saw at least two goal assists from him in the first quarter and from memory another in the last term. Laid a great tackle, was in the thick of it a lot. Watch the replay if you disagree.

6. That Picket guy is a PoS. Second letter of his name should be an "r". Blakey on the ground was clearly in great discomfort and to go over to a man lying on the ground in such discomfort and interfere with him was disgusting.

7. I think Ladhams is maturing. That brain fade in the final term, where he threw the ball in Richmond's F50 giving Riewoldt a shot on goal - he just laughed at himself and didn't let it get to him. I think the facial expression was very telling. (Mind you, if Richmond were trailing by five it might have been a different story.)

Also I wonder if people are reading too much into his body language. Ruckmen are always big, and most of them are big and lumbering. A ruckman looking awkward??!! Stop the presses! They're not competing in the Concours d'Elegance.

8. I really don't like the haircuts the youngsters are wearing these days. Most of them just look stupid.

I guess I should know the answer to this but in point 5, who is Hakka?

Wow, wouldn't have guessed that in 100 years.
Thank you.

Sorry about your wife's colleague. Absolutely awful. We've had a bit to do with paras recently. They are just the best.

Two locals attended my MIL a month or so ago in Thirroul. Bloody brilliant with a 96yo. Never met one who was less than top notch. Vale.
