Amazing what happens when a team has a forward line capable of laying tackles and applying pressure. A forward line of the three talls + Hayward + Papley does not know how to keep the ball inside 50. Zero desire from anyone to defend and apply any sort of pressure on transition.
I feel bad for other teams who play Richmond this year and have to hear Jack Riewoldt cheerlead the entire game.

Yeah, made that last quarter even more painful listening to him pull himself whenever Tigers did something.
It’s like putting Kirky on to commentate our games - ridiculously biased
I'll repeat it again.
Pathetic from the players down to the fans who thought that we would win this by 50 +. Everyone drinking their own bathwater.
Back to reality and to the reality that we cannot win when the heat and expectation is on us at the MCG.

Apply pressure to a longmire team and they choke
3-1 so still good spot going into an eagles game, but I suspect when the whips crack in September we are the same old
Papley doesnt back up his talk
Gulden lot of touches to no real impact
Heeney trying to do it mostly alone
Tmac way off the boil
Maybe the Wicks thing got to the group?
We lost to a team of kids who were prepared to work their **** off

I said it last week, if Corey Warner is the next best on the list our depth isn't great. Need Adams, Parker and Mills back ASAP, as well as Cunningham and now Ranpe.
Need to keep winning until the reinforcements come back in.

Well answered a question I did have about the team.
Our mentality is atrocious which makes me fear how we will go in another GF if we get there again in the next few years

As pathetic as Sydney played, still lost by less than a goal so some positives there.
Credit to Richmond for bringing the pressure, which Sydney mostly had no answer to.
Time to get the mojo back against weevils next week.

3 tall fwd line doesn't work. It's rarely worked and this game showed why it's fraught with danger.
Mcg poor record continues. Something wrong with our mcg prep.
Workrate was shocking.
Clearances & contested possession, especially in the 1st quarter/half was poor again.
A few players on a short string moving forward.

Last week I thought Essendon were going to roll us by looking hungrier and smarter, but we stabilised well and won fairly comfortably. I thought we turned a corner.
This week shows there's still a long way to go, however. For the most part we weren't pressuring Richmond hard enough, making lots of key errors, sticking to Plan A even though it wasn't working, and then losing all composure when things look tight. It's the same issues that have been plaguing us for as long as I can remember. Until it resolves we're pretenders, frankly.
Hopefully, the club realises what went wrong and shows a lot more spirit in future weeks.
Unfortunately there's now two byes over the next two weeks....maybe that'll make us angrier.

We still shit the bed when it matters and we are expected to win
We struggle with pressure and that’s when it matters , standing up.
Pies weee called a fluke last year , I just think they could handle pressure and that separates a lot

An off performance but we were within a goal off Richmond who troubled Carlton and others and arent as shit as people think
We needed thia loss to expose our forwards.
Mcdonald amartey will not win us big finals if out mids have to kick 6+ between them every game

Positives
Roberts another good game after an ordinary start
Heeney still on fire
The new Kid Mitchell did all you can ask for a first gamer
we got a loss out of the way early - plenty of time to correct and learn
big negative
Lost the same old way, revert to bombing to one forward
push players back,
and when the pressure is there guys like Paps, Hayward etc go missing
Gulden is off a bit

Want to beat the Swans?
Just spread rumours about ex-girlfriends.
Team selection matters - anyone remember us locking it in forward 50 today?
No?
It’s because we didn’t.

A really tough watch. Had a lot of 2023 about it. Smashed out of the middle and couldn't get run off the backline.
Hopefully Rampe will be ok
Please stop drinking the bathwater. SCG trust will have to tank water in.

Adams will be a handy inclusion next week. Felt like we lost 8/10 centre clearances.
