The tall defenders are going to be a worry with this run and gun system. Lever has brain farts, May gets nervous under pressure and the Tug Boat can’t move the feet quick enough to evade pressure, nor can he defend. 

Then they can get used to it if they are so good. 

What’s the point in having generational defenders if we are going to have a gameplan designed around protecting them?

Run.

Gun.

I agree and there weren’t too many defensive errors, the problem was when they had the ball that still needs work 

Hard to judge with a team playing first touch of the year against an oppo in anger, but for a team with 6 or so best 22 sitting it out, when it clicked it looked great, but if the balls turned over we get knifed on the rebound. Personally I still have questions over billings, but that could just be my predisposed disposition

4 in a row to the tigs

our inability to stop a run-on when it gets going is an issue

Teams seem to go end to end with such ease against us.

This was the knock on the Pies game style last year, hopefully the positives out weight the negatives

5 in a row to the Tiges - all coming way too easy…

5 in a row now

once we allow space on the outside they're away

Sweet, I look forward to us lifting the cup then

Defence is woeful. But expected with the all out attack and risk taking. Getting smashed in contest. 

Yuck giving up quick goals that's five in a row. Our small backs and lever and may a year older are a concern

Kozzy looking very lively at centre bounces though  

Early days but we could be the new dinosaurs

Trac looked a bit proppy after a contest a minute or so ago. 

geez louise

6 in a row

lack of defensive pressure on outside runners for them is a notable concern

I reckon you just have to ask what are we working on?  I see this as More of a test in anger rather than all cards on the table.  You will see patches of good and bad in such scenarios.

Max's goal kicking hasn't improved

Getting killed on the turnover

Koschitzke is a good addition for them

Gee the pressure or Gawn is already evident. Such a colossal error giving up so early on Grundy. Gave in to media pressure.

Pace is still an issue because structurally we play high pressure which is vulnerable on the turnover and doesn't let us take advantage of the pace we do have. No matter how quick you are, if you're playing a kick behind on the transition you'll never catchup. It's a Goodwin coaching speciality and has been since 2017.

Not even round zero and max is already having brain fades 

Kozzy has been an absolute bright spot in this Richmond run

lol classic Kozzie non-mark.
