2020 Round 1 Richmond V Carlton Game Day

[mexican_radio]

I don't know what to make of that. Who knows what to make of anything at the moment.

 

[seven]

Don't get the "social distancing" after they have been tackling and throwing themselves at each other all night.

Might as well shake hands at the end, they have all been in contact. This is a contact sport.

DS

Yep. Weird.
Don’t shake hands after the game due to virus.
During the game it’s okay to grab, tackle, hit and sweat on each other.

 

[caesar]

We do make it hard for ourselves failing to put teams away % wise but 2 premierships in 3 years who am i to complain?

 

[craig]

We give up goals so easily via free kicks and poor turnovers and decision making as we did tonight next week and the Skunks will give us a hiding.

I’d reserve that assumption until after we see the skunks play tonight

 

[craig]

Thats likely 2 or 3 votes for Cripps in the Brownlow tonight.

Yep I get it but the Maggots are a much different proposition to Carlton

Agreed

True

In all honesty our first quarter was fantastic took foot off a little.

Had it not been for the Umpires in the first half theyd have been nigh on goalless in the first half.

 

[22nd Man]

Is going to be hard for players trying to break into the sides without any games to play in vfl comp

I think we might see a fair few ins and outs almost regardless of form.

 

[22nd Man]

I said during the game "I have heard we might have the best Dow brother"
He replied "We better have"

 

[Midsy]

I reckon Titus O’Reilly is right - we invoked the work at home mentality “Richmond honoured the 'working from home' mentality tonight. Worked about thirty percent of the time and only when they absolutely had to. “

 

[Midsy]

I think we might see a fair few ins and outs almost regardless of form.

Won’t be surprised to see the likes of Ross, CCJ, Balta, Collier Dawkins, etc, etc more often than we would normally. Will be good for their development, as well as a protective measure.

 

[Ghost of Punt Road]

How will we tell which reserves are in form?

 

[KnightersRevenge]

On the plus side is we're 4 goals up late in the 4th but Dimma is filthy.

Get the feeling the boys are going to get a decent bake after this match

Hope there isn't s virus going around.

DS

Im guessing its more about protocol and setting examples of the new standards

 

[TrialByVideo]

How will we tell which reserves are in form?

Dimma mentioned the possibility of 14 v14 scratch matches v other teams during the aftermatch. Wasn't any more expansive than that.
Made it clear we will do whatever is needed to get through the games.
Think IF we do continue to play, we're gunna see some pretty innovative stuff to keep everyone rolling. Don't envy the job of Peter Burge and his crew.

 

[waiting]

Lowest tackle count in the game since 2005?

LTRTR can you confirm this?

Was this game also the Tigers lowest count?

Practice match

* Balme didn’t look impressed up in the stands***

 

[blx]

3 each to Daniel, George, Shai and Jack. That's about as even a spread as it gets.

Lynch had a quiet night but he did his job and crashed and bashed room for his forward comrades.

Dusty played like Dusty does... in March. Expect some cameos until July-ish when he starts amping into beast mode.

I mentioned many years ago about the skill of tapping on to advantage. The game is being sped up so quickly there is little time to take possession. If you watch the La Liga you will notice how one touch that competition is compared to others. Its beautiful to watch and we should aim to be the same. Practice the tap ons and like Polly did with the handball, employ the tap and change the game forever!

Agree with others, it was just a practice match for us. We will lift another peg for the other scum this week.

Gonna be a ripper... if it goes ahead :\

 

[French Tiger]

Apart from 2 years ago when they jumped us it went as per our normal round 1 games with them. Jump them then they slowly claw their way back into it before we steady with a couple of late goals. Don't underestimate they have been training longer & more practice matches.

Good to get the win on a strange funny night for the obvious reasons.

How weird when on the couch cheering a goal that you are louder than the crowd at the game.

 

[Smoking Aces]

We looked underdone last night. Literally ran out of legs in the 2nd half.

Lets not forget teams like Carlton are at least 3 - 4 weeks ahead of schedule in terms of 'runs in the legs'.

We just need to keep banking the 4 points for now.
