Fristch is no longer afl standard unfortunately. Has really regressed

We’re the easiest team in the comp to score against, there is no other way to put it. Alarmingly reading Jack Vineys interview I am starting to get the impression our goal coming into the season was to simply out gun teams and kick a bigger score. In the interview below, not once is defence mentioned, this is our co-captain who isn’t concerned about our defensive structures. Appears the whole football department is in denial. Every week it’s the same old line, we just need to recover and next week it’ll be fine.....

Goodwin and coaching staff - currently googling defence for dummies

Goodwin needs to put a players name next to a Richmond players magnet. Play man on man and see who isn’t willing to play defence. If you don’t play defence you play for Casey. Every aspect of our game is bottom 2. Acid need to be thrown on the player and coaching staff. President needs to put all the football department on notice.

This is the worst game Oliver has ever played for the club. he has 14 mates that have done [censored] all. im down in 2 weeks versus the Hawks and I won’t be wasting my time watching this [censored] show.

Lever and May would make no difference at the moment, we’re so far ball side of our defenders. This is pathetic coaching/structures. The same issues for 3 years, we rectified it last year it’s happened ned again this year.

How forward and back line coach need to go, Massive question marks over Jennings, he was supposed to be the mastermind behind how we play. Absolutely pathetic behind the ball and going forward.

Itleast the co captain Viney is happy with how the game is progressing ?‍♂️.

I am of the opinion we will make a bit of a statement in this game and have an easy win... If Gawn gives silver service to our mids, good luck with the run on the outside Saints. Dee's by 42

He needs to be put out to pasture much like his beloved black caviar.

Channel 7 are so frustrating to listen to, i lost count on how many times they swapped between Swans are just hanging on, Melbourne are just clinging to their lead. There was 14 points in it at that stage.

The scary thing is mate, I actually think he is, it’s hardbto forgot his kicking out of the back line

The scary thing is T.Mac is a worse defender then he is forward

Tonight’s observations: Tom McDonald looks like he has concrete in his boots, He looks like a poor mans Pederson/ Dawes opposition teams must lick their lips at Frost and Omac in the back line. God they’re dreadful footballers ANB is the new iron hands of the team Totally out of form: Hibberd, Jones, Tmac, Petracca, Fritesh, struggling with form: Jetta, Viney, Melksham we’re so unfit it is staggering. I might give the next few weeks a miss

The part I find frustrating is, I’m not a professional footballer, every couch potato including myself, knows that the cats thrive on teams that long bomb out of the centre, the always create a two on one, always have a man spare in defence. Even with 666, it appeared on t.v last night that they had a spare man back. The bring bring the ball to ground and have great crumbing defenders who rebound quickly. Last night at every opportunity we won the hit out and bomb it front and centre to an out numbered forward, not once did we look left or right to a wing men who has worked to the 50. Our forwards were never deep enough on most occasions. we played directly into the hands of the way the cats love to play. It appears we just thought round 1 was a mulligan, we’ll fire up around the ball and problem solved. Our defensive game is appealing, I lost count of the number of times we were ball side of our players, we’re easily the worse 18 defensive team in the competition and last year we struggled with teams who picked us apart. 2 weeks in a row we we’re convincingly out couched.

This is atrocious, a cannot believe how many of our top players are out of form. Good night all

I’d like them to throw Lewis forward, he’s a great kick for goal.

I think a lot of people are missing the point that May is a strong bugger who can really engage one on one with the big power forwards, when he has them tied up and wrestling, it allows Lever and Hibberd to cut across and intercept. OMac does get pushed out out position by the big forwards at times.

If Adam Treloar, Bryce Gibbs are worth two first round picks. Jesse Hogan is ? % worth two first rounders. To say he isn’t is short sighted and clearly haven’t seen many of his games.

What happened if May came out and requested a trade to Melbourne? would that force GCS hand to do the best possible deal. It isnt very often a club refuses to deal these days, players get to where they want to go (which i dont agree with, unless they want to come to us of course).

Peter "Jive Turkey" Bell. I stand by my previous comment. Lets get creative to still bring in May. I hope Hogan kicks 10 on them next year.

Keep it up JM!!!

It’s better then being on the glass pipe and suggesting ridiculous trades like Freo are at the moment. They’re in La La Land. Send in Angry Todd, imagine being on the other end of him breathing fire down the phone at you, Neale to Lions for pick 5, 5 and 11 to the Dee’s and an apology from P.Bell for being s jive turkey.
