Overhandballing

Featured Replies

It’s the shocking virus that exists throughout our playing group.  When we lose, it’s often poor decision making especially poor use of the footy. Especially overhandballing!! 
 

Often it’s too a teammate under pressure as well. And creates turnovers. 
 

And tonight with wet weather. The chronic disease of overhandballing means you fumble and slip and create no space or territory.  

 

along with Max not tapping to our advantage lost count of the taps that went straight to Fro players

We never adapt to wet conditions. Fritsch handpass to Rivers an example.

 

 

the hail Mary or Hollywood handpass over the back of players heads in the hope that it finds a melbourne player is killing us. I love Oliver but he needs to cut that crap out of his game.

Posters often say we bomb it long too often.

I reckon we handball too often. 
Surely  in those conditions you should gain as much yardage as possible with long kicks, which will probably go over the back.

I think it’s rarely the correct decision to kick short to a 50:50, but in wet windy conditions it’s a sin.

It's basic Auskick stuff to know to kick long in wet weather footy. Also manning up you learn in Auskick which we failed to do tonight. We have been overhandballing since the Cameron Bruce days. It's a pity we have a weak excuse for a coach who obviously struggles to communicate these things with the players.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
    Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
