Game Day Round 5: Richmond Tigers vs Fremantle Dockers

[gaskin]

It would be nice if we could put away a shit side for once but as usual when we get the chance to do it we **** it up for any number of reasons. Today looks like it is going to be goal kicking.

But, plenty of teams this season have managed to pull away for 10+ goal wins in the 2nd half so I am hoping we can do that.

God that was a hard watch. Richmond kicking them from the boundary against the breeze and we are spraying it everywhere.

What on earth has happened to the Jye Amiss set shot?

 

[pavstar]

The team deserves a half time face ripping by JL…

 

[eastfreo75]

No self respecting umpire pays that free. Tiger took a massive dive.

Anyway they’ve established any contact over the boundary line is a free so I look forward to that idea being abandoned immediately

While Nank can go around and an elbow people in the back off the ball.

 

[DMan 11]

Bad kicking is bad footy.
Goal kicking aside, I feel like we’re classier, better organised in defence and using running handball chains well.
It’s the last connection piece or the goal accuracy that’s hurting us.
Someone need to take Amiss aside and work on his run-up and routine.

 

[E Shed]

Bolton hasn’t looked like it in front of goal this year. His body language has been terrible for weeks when he’s got a set shot.
And Amiss is a shadow.
Thanks be for Treacy.
Underwhelming half but we continue to lose continuity through injury. I suspect it would look different with Jacko & NOD out there. Worner has been more than adequate. Playing with good poise if not the attacking instincts of Wagner.

 

[largebus]

You just hope the heat gets to the Tigers before it gets to us. Tigs were starting to flag at the end of each quarter

 

[noise36]

Such a Dockery feeling to be 10 points up at half time yet be sad

We didn’t put an Eagles team to sword.

This is JL we're talking about here. He'll probably tell them all to have a Bex and a lie down.

 

[heavho]

Dudley is a crap load better small than swita atm should of started X factor

 

[Serongnthnks4allthefish]

3rd quarter script: Richmond have high pressure and lots of ball for twenty minutes. We absorb it then counter-attack and maybe kick straight, go into the 4th with a 20 point lead?

Depends on the opposition.

Richmond are bottom 4 with a lot of inexperienced players.

Sorry I expect more for this team.

Dudley is a crap load better small than swita atm should of started X factor

Feel like having someone with finishing like him in the forward line would've been nice at the tail end of both quarters.

 

[MadMundy]

Darcy has felt a little non-existent out there at times, you can tell he's slowly building, but having him against someone as quality as Nankervis doesn't help, it was always going to be tough.

Richmond aren’t that terrible to be fair. Really bringing pressure and experience

I'm buying stocks in wet lettuce.

Dudley gets to dangerous spots and looks to create scoring.

 

[King Huskii]

Underwood would love to see the Tigers win

She can't contain her excitement

 

[FreoRicci]

Darcy has felt a little non-existent out there at times, you can tell he's slowly building, but having him against someone as quality as Nankervis doesn't help, it was always going to be tough.

Always. Just tell him to do 70% TOG, and compete. That’s all.

 

[MadDocker]

Come on fresh in the 4th and kick 3. Book mark it.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Both teams are young commentators.

 

[MadMundy]

Richmond aren’t that terrible to be fair. Really bringing pressure and experience

They brought it to Brisbane who are 5-0 and didn't look out of place completely against them, they're not a bad team for how young they are.

Then try to save the game.
