Perspective: ever fancied team this year has underperformed in round 1. Richmond was uninspiring. Collingwood was disappointing. Melbourne was lethargic. Adelaide was poor. West Coast were comfortably beaten.

Mate how long have you been supporting our club for lol There was more poor decision making in 1 minute of any Bailey-era coached team than there was in the whole game today.

Melksham was probably among our best.

Viney - shouldn't have played Jones - that dropped mark Salem - Classic Christian Salem Jetta - Not quite Jetta Hibberd - Had no run O. McDonald - Constantly air balled Frost - Athlete but nah Petracca - In and out T. McDonald - Worst as forward Weidemann - Didn't have delivery Spargo - Tried but limited Oliver - Couldn't get involved Brayshaw - Almost no impact Harmes - Couldn't drive home Gawn - Covered and Beaten Hunt - Moments of influence Neal-Bullen - Had no impact Sparrow - Solid first game Fritsch - Lacks some confidence Melksham - Only forward target Hoare - Who is Hoare? Wagner - Never again, pls

Well I mean, it is only round 1. We're missing two key backmen. Viney is badly underdone. We lacked experience in the defensive 50. We were younger overall vs them. Eagles were average round 1 last year. We all know how that turned out. Pies were making similarly mindboggling mistakes last night. Richmond hardly blew people away on Thursday. You gotta take the bad with the good. We were very average but reality is we have 21 games to make amends. It was a poor performance. Oliver Viney Gawn Brayshaw Mcdonald had little to no impact. We only lost by 23 points. Would have been closer if Jones wasn't such a spud. Let's get real hear. Two of the aforementioned have decent games and it's game on, we potentially win. And that's with three defensive generals missing. you just can't kill yourself over a round 1 loss. Would you rather this loss now, or leading into finals?

Extremely concerning. The warning signs were evident during pre season.

Our "stars" got an absolute spanking today. When was the last time Gawn, Oliver, Brayshaw, Viney, Mcdonald, Jones and Petracca ALL had no impact?

oundisciplined, lazy, slow performance. oh well at least collingwood lost as well.

we're gonna get panned in the media this week after this performance. it's been so lazy.

my captain. oh my captain...

Viney has be terrible. A witches hat today. Shouldn't have played. Brayshaw Oliver Trac and Harmes all need to get involved. As with last year we are killing ourselves in the middle and across half forward.

we've gotten a ride today tho

Petracca, Viney, Gawn, Oliver and Viney have had zero impact. And we're still in the game.

Westoff is killing us Viney isn't fit and shouldn't be playing We are really missing May and Lever.

THAT'S MY BOY JAYDEN HUNT! TAKE THEM ON SON

their transition out of defense is destroying us. people say speed or lack thereof is our Achilles heal. It's not. The MCG is.

lol calm down

lmao watts you spud

lol Spargo was so disappointed he didn't mark that.

He wasn't best 22 in 2016 2017 or 2018 so yes 2019 he's still not lol

This has been a great contest. But both sides need to put it away for the past quarter. Players are dropping like flies. It's a practice match ffs!

sack goodwin

Fair few Richmond players missing off that list that they've brought over recently. Their cap would be very tight atm.

Twilight for me. Start at 4:10pm, game finishes at dusk by 6:45. Gives broadcasters room to generate hype and build events prior to the game. And it leads directly into primetime television. Businesses in the city would greatly benefit: blending GF crowds with night life crowds in clearer cohesion. Fans benefit by offering a better atmosphere and experience at the game. Broadcasting allows people to stretch out the day and create more of a celebration, starting later and providing more flexibility. This is my opinion. I don't really give a [censored] either way.

Glad I wasn't the only was confused.
