I’m confused as to whether it’s decision making or execution with some of these kicks. We’re not going anywhere this year

its both

[dees189227 10,801]

My god. This is deplorable.  Our turnovers are killing us

[Chook 14,516]

Looks like a bottom 8 clash right now. I'm seriously worried about this season. I thought we'd fixed a lot of what undid us in 22 and 23 from rounds 1-4 but the last 2 weeks have been a real step backward.

My prediction is the Tigers will throw everything they can muster at us early.

Possibly even heading into half-time in front. 

Then this particular thread will become a place of darkness. Season over. Certain players will be told to never play for us again. 

Then the more well-rounded team (ours) will systematically carve it’s way to a 42-point win. 

Hooray! 
 

 

All going to plan, folks. 

[layzie 28,894]

Structure excellent, intercept game on but no execution whatsoever.

if we are struggling to score against a VFL team, what the [censored] will happen against Geelong's defence. FFS

We barely scored 30+ for 3 quarters against Brisbane so...

Why would Lever do that?

He was under no pressure at all and just kicks it straight in the middle as if passing to a tigers player.

What has happened to our skills?

The disturbing thing is that the really poor kicking has been under practically no pressure at all. None!

How are we going to go in the next 3 weeks once the blow torch is applied.

It's been years since I've seen such poor skills by this team. 

After last week against the Lions. I'm perplexed.

It’s like there  jumper clash…

 

 

My thoughts exactly.

[Seraph 1,714]

Have we considered simply not kicking it to Richmond players while under no pressure?

Might be worth looking into.

[spirit of norm smith 12,951]

Fritsch turnover.  Straight to tigers players x 2 

[Golly123 8]

Crazy game of footy. Really enjoying it.

[Red But Mostly Blue 3,764]

This is awesome. Getting beaten by the behemoths that were beaten by the eagles. Currently 16th!

How have we regressed? This is not a fatigue thing. We’ve had plennnttty of rest. Poor skills, no vision. 3 goals in a half. 

Two bottom 8 teams going at it right now.

Pathetic 

[At the break of Gawn 3,516]

Melbourne beating Melbourne tonight. Absolute horrid turnovers resulting in direct Richmond goals.

I'm not a doomsayer, but I see doom right now, and am saying it.

[Lil_red_fire_engine 10,193]

That is the most lifeless, leaderless, selfish half of footy I can recall by us. There is a lack of run, effort, dare. Some of the worst kicking execution and decision making I can recall. Where is this alleged "brand that our supporters can be proud of". Pull your finger out Dees.

[dazzledavey36 48,807]

Lol.. club are genuinely taking the [censored] if they think they're top 4 team based on the last two performance.

Rabble of a performance

I50 delivery has been deplorable

Max had the opportunity to hit up Fritsch on the lead...so he blazes at goal and stuffs the kick... disgusting from our captain, should handball more 

[poita 3,615]

Have any of our players kicked a footy in the past 13 days? This is just embarrassing. 

[mpc 95]

The most frustrating half of football I've watched in 5 years. Turnover central

[YearOfTheDees 3,094]

Its not wet it doesn't look dewy. it's just horrid decision making. That last kick from Fritta summed up the entire match so far.

[layzie 28,894]

And there will be no crutch of 3 game in 13 days fatigue for this one. Sorry guys 

[Roy Boy 321]

Folks we are a mid ladder team.

Temper your expectations, we have disposal that is laughable along with low IQ decision making. The pressure turns up, we turn to water.

This is a depleted Richmond side we are playing.

yep, not looking good. we are seriously unable to score, same ole for how many seasons now?

[Demon Dynasty 15,524]

We've given them a huge sniff.

No excuses re three matches in thirteen tonight.

This is as bad as we've played since the 2019 horror show.
