GAMEDAY: Rd 05 vs Richmond

[dazzledavey36 55,311]

Christian Petracca 14 disposals that qtr ?

[Macca 17,032]

Pickett oozes class

We've got ouselves a player

 

[Jaded No More 68,972]

Fritsch is so much better when played as a high half forward. The problem is that we still have not a single marking forward inside 50. Why they refuse to play Weid is beyond me. 

[deebug 1,754]

On Ya Kosie?

[Hampton 22 519]

Umpires wearing Tigers colours. 

[Ollie fan 3,468]

A lot of people being critical! Our effort is good, our midfield well on top, just poor delivery too often.

[DemonLad5 1,642]

How good is Trac

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,272]

A great play in the final 20 seconds of the quarter leading to a goal after the siren. So un-Melbourne like...

[Nasher 33,617]

BT can’t tell Langdon and Hunt apart. The confused silence when Langdon got it, he called Hunt, and then Langdon passed it TO Hunt was pretty funny.

I’d be mad but I’ve got to admit that on the far camera angles I’m struggling too.

[JTR 2,854]

Endeavour and intensity looks much better than last couple of weeks.

Probably taking it on a bit TOO much at times, but I'd rather see that than playing exclusively around the boundaries.

Tidy up execution and we'll be looking good

[censored] good. 

[layzie 33,987]

Had my phone charging for the first qtr here now!

Happy with the first qtr, the intensity is good and I don't feel Richmond's goals are coming from good play. Speed of ball movement will give us a chance. 

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

2nd quarter important. Need to back it up.

Majority of the criticism is about this to be fair. 

[bing181 9,328]

All Richmond's goals came from turnovers and decision errors. 

In passages, starting to look like a team. Going take half the season to get it more consistent.

Still would have preferred O'Mac, and VDB is going to need more than a couple of games to get back to his best.

[Leoncelli_36 2,264]

That’s a good quarter of football. If we can start winning the ruck and clean up some of our disposal we are capable 

[McQueen 17,867]

Some good movement from Brayshaw too that qtr.

We got lucky with Richmond missing some very easy goals and Riewoldt and Lynch dropping sitters inside 50. Vandanberg missed an easy pass to McDonald inside 50 but that is just Vandanberg rather than an unlucky passage of play.

As much as BT is a gnob  i struggle with that too

[layzie 33,987]

Pickett showed more vision with that kick than anyone showed all game last week. 

[Dame Gaga 2,453]

I saw a defender make no second effort while the ball was still in play. He walked to an opponent to watch him take an easy mark. Terrible passage of play. Very disappointing.

[WA Demon Boy 966]

focus now Dees for another 3 quarters - can't let up 

[DemonWheels 1,070]

Clean up our kicking and we’re away. Effort and energy is excellent. Big difference in the style of hand balling between the two sides: we handball to someone next to us, who then has to do the same thing, before we eventually get caught. Richmond handball to someone 5 meters away.

They look and play remarkably similarly. But Hunt’s hair is much more luxurious. Langdon wishes he had Hunt’s hair.

entertaining quarter of footy

they're just that little bit quicker, little bit cleaner than us - as they should be, being premiers two of the last three years

if we can clean up our overuse of the pill and not do that one-too-many handball thing in close that we insist on doing we're going okay
