.probably the greatest lack of foresight by the club i can remember....should have rewarded oleg to hang in till this year
.our size inequality demands a pace advantage & we're losing it.
.8cm height advantage would also have addressed bachar's now total aerial uncompetitiveness.
This being said, if oleg was on the list Mansell and Maxfield would not have been getting a run in the seniors. I believe we have might the right call here, Im most disappointed egg hasnt come on as I saw him as the Bachar replacement.

For some reason teams a able to get a run on and we concede multiple goals very unlike us in the past and few players get free to often needs to be addressed.

our 3rd Q was where we want to be, and it reminded me of what we've done in the previous 4 seasons.
nice turnaround after being 4 goals down in the first

One thing I would like to see is a good 4 quarter game from Richmond. Even when we smacked StKilda it was an even first quarter. Again today we had to come from behind to win.

At the moment you almost dread Richmond leading at quarter time as we tend to get smacked badly when we do that against good teams.

I want to see us win the first quarter and then grind the opposition into the dust for the next 3.

It’s a pretty unrealistic expectation. only 2 teams currently with four quarter streaks. But I would love the same thing! Aka 2019 GF.

Since when have we destroyed teams for 4 Qs. A couple of times vs really bad performances.
We don't do it. And I don't care. I thought we were OK v Crows. Yep they match up OK on us.
Have a reasonable go. I think our defence, including Dave and Dyl, is well below best, but that could change. We need to tighten up there in general. But we slowly overwhelmed the Crows through the second Q then throated them. Never going to lose after that. Jeeezzz we look better with Dion and Shai out there and Shane will help too. We ain't done yet.

Didn't seem like you were handling the slow start too well to me if these comments are anything to go by...lol

'Dare I say, looks like the good times are over. Great while it lasted.'

'Season ending quarter here'
Oh wow. Excuse me for showing emotion for my team.
excuse me for being a die hard, one eye supporter.
excuse me for for wearing my heart on my sleeve.
I will support Richmond and players like David Cotchin and Darren Martin till the end!

The key thing is structure! forget about your emotions, they are important, but I feel we need to sort this quickly. Our small fleet of forwards is history, cause they are always outnumbered in the forward line, their opponents have bigger bodies, our small get out marked. Against the top teams melbourne, geelong and brisbane, we need the extra tall forward to mark or bring the ball down. Need to work out to open our forward line better, create space for one on one, have our talls running in for the pass.
1. when Dusty kicked to CCJ, it was a brilliant kick, Dusty forced CCJ to his right where his opponent was left of him. in that passage, there was an additional player trying to stop him on the run.
2. When Ralphy kicked his first, the camera behind the goals shown 6 crows players to our 3.

‘Where did he come from?’: Chol recalls spectacular Riewoldt mark


Daniel Cherny
The Age
June 1, 2021

Richmond’s Mabior Chol says he didn’t see Jack Riewoldt coming in the lead-up to the Tigers star’s stunning hanger late in Sunday’s win over Adelaide.

Chol had been leading to a kick inside 50 from Jack Graham but was upstaged by Riewoldt, who soared to take a spectacular pack mark after running back with the flight of the ball. Riewoldt converted the ensuing set shot en route to a five-goal haul in the 28-point victory over the Crows at Giants Stadium.

“It was a funny one. I did not see Jack coming at all,” Chol said on Monday of the incredible moment.

“Credit to him, it was an amazing mark. I think if you see the footage, I was pretty shocked, where he came from. I was like, ‘Wow, where did he come from?’”

Riewoldt risked injury by tracking back with the flight of the ball, an issue brought to the fore last week by AFLW star Darcy Vescio when she questioned whether a similarly courageous mark from Western Bulldogs gun Lachie Hunter should have been celebrated.

“Having no regard for your own safety shouldn’t be what makes you a good teammate,” Vescio tweeted.

Chol said that ultimately players acted on instinct when it came to such moments.

“I think it’s just an instinct thing. It’s a hard one to call because you’re just playing off instinct out there. It happens so quick you don’t even notice,” Chol said.

Yeah ridiculous comment. As Chol said players act on instinct. Some do what Jack did instinctively, others don't. It's a contact sport and the reality is that players get hurt and injured; unfortunately sometimes seriously. But if you don't want to take the risk that's fine; find another sport. There is always a choice.

I love the mark, it was a stunner.

But if Jack is playing a higher role he should know - or be told - not to run back into the big forward lanes.

My bet is he was both lauded and quietly chastised for the decision.

What if Chol got injured? He looked to have the mark covered anyway.
