Skill, talent, decision making, Richmond have none of it.

I think I have counted about 20 times today against Geelong where our mid fielders handball to someone a meter away with two or three opposition players standing around him. What on earth are these guys thinking?
These crappy little hand passes they practice at training are KILLING them on the field.
Rule one: DON'T HANDBALL TO A STATIONARY PLAYER!!!!!!
Rule two: DON'T HANDBALL TO A PLAYER OBVIOUSLY UNDER THE PUMP!!!!! ESPECIALLY IF SURROUNDED BY MORE THAN, I DON'T KNOW, SAY THREE PLAYERS.
Rule three: GET SOME PERIPHERY VISION!!!!!!
And dare I say it, rule four: Know our to kick the pig skin.

When your team mate has the ball, tell him he's clear or hot and then block or recieve.

It isn't rocket science.

Agree.

Johnson, Tuck, Raines, Tambling Tivendale and Pettifer are the main culprits.

One thing that has amazed, and disappointed, me this year (more than most things) is the fact that the players have obviously been 'coached' to give the ball off and then run to space = away from all players. I watched some of a Kangaroos game a couple of weeks ago and when they handball *to a team-mate*, instead of 'running to space', they go and take out any opposition players near their team-mate with the ball.

Why are our guys being told to give off and run away? IMO the chain of events that take place is nothing short of the Three Stooges at their best... ahhhh I can picture it now, unfortunately!

Gawd, it's no wonder I am going bald!!! ;D

There are 2 other things we are in short supply of.....kohunas and confidence....those two make a bit of a difference too.

You know what gives you those, TTT? Winning games. Unfortunately because Richmond aren't doing that either we don't have the 2 intangibles you mention.
