Hill has every excuse why he can't stick a tackle, someone tell me what Birchall's excuse is? 193cm, 90kgs yet blokes walk through him.
That's one thing Lewis has done very well tonight. Almost as if he knows he's going to be beaten to the ball so he sticks his tackle to neutralize the contest.
 
If we can get Sicily back into the game I'd be pretty happy with all the youngsters, pretty much.

We shouldn't be able to do this without high picks, but we're going well in the new players stake. And still to see from Miles, Hardwick, Heatherley and Willsmore, that are all showing some good signs, and Burton in the wings... I'm excited.

Have to apology to Langers who I blamed for that centring kick turnover that was apparently Sicily....and them blast him for dribbling from 15m out straight in front and missing. I find him hard to tolerate. Don't care how hard he is, he has to clean up his disposal or he's a liability.

Loving Breust's first Q particularly and TOBs all round game. Attacking the contest really well and dishing off cleanly to his runners. Great to watch.

Should be good enough IF we maintain composure and don't hand back momentum with poor turnovers.

Sure his disposal isn't great - without him tonight though we are behind - we need him in the contest as we are getting smashed
 
looks like howe is getting up to the pace, and i recon lovell is going to be a decent little unit! Tim O has been impressive, I loved him putting his shoulder down and just running through that tiger.. that's what he's been missing.. the knowledge that he is a big fricken unit and should use his size.
 
People say ruckman are overrated and to an extent they probably are but this team with an A grade ruckman would be great to watch.

McEvoy is good around the ground but gets hammered regularly in the middle. Yes our mids are down this year but our ruckman are a real issue which amplifies this

Big Boy should be playing the Hale role. Was really hoping Cegs would establish himself as the #1 ruck this year but he is neither here nor there. One week he does well and other weeks he just doesn't do enough. This todays game is the latter.

sis has had a couple of decent kicks.. looks like he's been more on the wing than forward.. only the one crap turnover (i'll admit that one made me yell)
 
We are so far away from it atm. Richmond are putrid, we are just a little less putrid.

We are battling with so many young players in the side.
We are still piss poor in clearances even with deledio and martin not there all the time, its become a serious issue going forward we need to address it.
 
4 points is 4 points (if we manage to get it done), and i know we have struggled with the tigers for a while now, but geez we need to improve to be a threat this year.

Without Breust, TOB, Gunstan etc we are behind. Langford's had 8 touches and 2 tackles so not doing much at the contest.

Cegs playing terribly, and forcing McEvoy into the ruck too.

Cegs could at least give us a head wobble during his "chases"

Can't remember 100% but I think with the dribble shot there was a Richmond player coming in for a tackle/smother so he had to keep the ball low. I'm prepared to be wrong about that though
 
Love Langer's, yes he had deficiencies in his game but he's always in the pack and fighting for the ball. He loves the contest and whilst his disposal let's him down you can't question his contested side.

Howe's been solid, Brand looks good but have noticed a few times that he will stutter and almost question if he's doing the right thing by the team when peeling off his man. Needs more time to feel comfortable. Lovell looks pretty good, started to find the ball more and apart from the htb he's hasn't really don't much wrong. O'Brien is good up the ground, just needs to hit the scoreboard and he'll be right.
