Freudian slip, daisy?

The Dogs certainly turned the screws in the second half, while the Suns totally hit a wall.  Pretty huge turn around considering the Suns were over 50 points up in the second quarter.

Blew it!

Wow Carlscum and Freo are really, really rubbish 

another dazzling display by zac dawson i see

I like Pav as a special comments person...I just hope he doesn't go backwards at the rate of knots most, if not all do.

He has some good insights.

well based on watching pies-tigers, tom mcdonald is a better key defender than alex 'best in the business' rance.

Nah. 

Nah, he's not.

That Pies/Tigers game could play havoc with team placings in the very unofficial JTL ladder race:-

Richmond 2 - - 171 124 137.9 4

From what I've seen of Rance, he is definitely overrated. I don't get the media's obsession with him, and he's a bloody weirdo. 

Edited March 11, 20178 yr by Ethan Tremblay

rance's decision making is arguably worse than t mac's, his disposal is just as middling, and his game awareness appears to be worse - he seems to lose it in the flight every time.

Lol.

Rance is streets ahead of T-Mac because he is far more consistent as a player. 

One bad JLT game and Melbourne supporters think T-Mac has him covered.

Until Tom displays a consistent body of work, (a season at bare minimum) they shouldn't be spoken of in the same sentence. 

3 x AA from 14-16

Club BnF and a runner up.

Y'all are clowns.

Rance hasn't trained since before Christmas, I think.  While I only watched on the TV I think he was off the ground for most of the 2nd and 3rd quarters.  Certainly looks overweight and slow. 

Nothing to worry about both the toiyges and pies...a very ordinary game. If Reiwoldt and Cotchin get injured they will be bottom 2.  But if the pies hadn't kept giving them the ball the game would have been a complete whitewash.

Believe it or not, Rance had 94% time on ground! So he was out there somewhere...

It's always been the story with Richmond, if they lose a couple of top players it's over. Y'know they've had almost the same top-10 B&F since 2011?

Here's a trivia question for you -

From 2015 to 2016, Richmond had just one name change in their B&F, and that was due to injury. So, who went out and who came in?

Carlton and Freo take the prize for the weakest display during JLT.

Richmond will do better than many think,  although miss the top 8. And Rance is a gun. 

Brisbane are us 2 years ago, so expect some pain for them with a few glimpses of a good future.

The JLT  series tells us almost nothing about what to expect in the main season. And because of that the preseason comp is dead. Bruise-free footy, lack of pressure and intensity, poor crowds, bored commentators having to invent conversation, horrible camera positions meant the ball got constantly lost in the crowd at regional grounds.

But it was still better then not watching footy

But you're spot on, there isn't a lot you can take from JLT

About 75% of our supporters, in their imaginations.

Brisbane will trouble a lot more sides this year than last. Will likely be bottom four again but teams wouldn't want to have an off day against them. Midfield is nothing to be sneezed at with Beams returning.

Definitely.  There is some serious quality in their midfield.

However, if you can stop some of that quality then you'll win the game as their defensive and forward halves of the ground are extremely mediocre.  But, as you say, they'll probably trouble a few more sides this year.

a fit beams, martin, zorko and rich will make the world of difference for the lions.
