Grand Final 2020 Thread Richmond Vs Geelong / Game Day Thread

[kiwitiger]

Need a massive quarter, must win this quarter on the scoreboard, even if it’s only 10 points , just can’t let them get further away

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Needed the half time break,

 

[mrposhman]

Shai and Rioli definitely need to step up, but Edwards hasn’t been that bad, although yes he can go up a gear.

Yeah I probably wasn't really saying Edwards needs to lift, but can step up and really impact the game. If he can do that, then the Norm Smith awaits for him.

 

[Birdman19]

Balta just needs to pump the ball long fwd when he has the chance

 

[Berwick boy]

Look rattled
Out pressured and outplayed
The bombing it into the foward line has been ourcoachrd to

Hopefully that all changes at half time.

 

[Jason King]

Geelong have had the game how they want it from the start. We can't do anything. This is shades of when Port beat us earlier in the year. Dimma we need something!

 

[SpaceAce]

Need to tighten up in defence big time. Most of their goals have come from really poor checking leaving their forwards free.
Vloss missing is obviously significant but it is what it is.

 

[caspar]

We were 19 down at this point against them last year.

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

Danger = Dipper

 

[Batchelor Party]

Gotta believe those last 4 minutes we turned the corner

 

[Giardiasis]

Need Lynch to LLLIIIIFFFTT

 

[tigerlove]

He has been poor in the first half of every final.

Hes won lots of ball but disposal has been horrendous.

That missed handball cost us a good attacking entry.

He's always been a cr@p disposer. That's what you get. That handball was atrocious. Basic footy skills under no pressure. Should never fluff that.

 

[bricci]

not unlike last years prelim (relative to short quarters).
last 3-4 minutes was our best footy - need to be more direct to top of square though

 

[bowden4president]

2.... no way 6 weeks. Dog act and he knew what he was doing.
I’m hoping the karma bus get these pricks

It’s Dangerfield. 0 weeks

 

[Ridley]

He'll get weeks, that much is an absolute Cert, not that that helps us now though, would love to see someone just literally run through him with a hip & shoulder and take him out, who cares about weeks at this stage !

Agree. Tiges need to go old school. Lynch is doing *smile* all. He needs to sort out Dangerfield.

 

[mrposhman]

Balta just needs to pump the ball long fwd when he has the chance

He looked good when thrown into the ruck at the end of that quarter. Hopefully we continue with that rather than Jack. I didn't mind Lynch in the ruck in the F50, took 1 out of the ruck and if he had 1 more second would have kicked for goal, but got tackled. Works for Hawkins, play them at their own game.

 

[craig]

They are playing a good defence game with lots of numbers behind the ball and we are giving it back to them too easily.

Yep they are always with one or 2 spare and our blokes have lost the compass they dont know where to defend.

Thus they are moving it with ease.

We have no release kicks no one to hit up.

Caddy wouldve been handy as another forward we need another target, Tommy and Jack both getting double teamed.

 

[zippadeee]

The elbows a player in the jaw the commentators sweep under the carpet.

 

[Birdman19]

Jack, Rioli, Jack Graham, Lambo , Grimesy need to lift

 

[Berwick boy]

Geelong are playing a spare man in defence.
Scott has discovered our weak spot

I’m sure that will change in the second half.
