Game Day Richmond v Adelaide
- Thread starter Carter
- Start date
The best thing about today was we basically did it without Dusty. Just 3 score involvements. Normally when that happens we tend to lose those games but others stood up, we now have Bolton who is also a genuine match winner who plays a similar role. Its great to see others step up.
I was wandering who the short, fat, slow guy that carried on like a tool after he kicked goal was; cheers
You are being way to logical for those 2 to even understand Posh.
Yep. The second Dusty does that directional hand wave thing, reach for your pen.
You'll be marking a goal in the footy record real soon.
He wont care he'll be too busy jerking himself into a coma over the Kochies.
Cheating bastards!
Now they’re just trying to confuse us by paying us frees! I’m on to em
Well that was interesting, listened to the game on the radio and will download and watch it soon. Haven't listened on the radio for a whole game for a long time. Still, I suppose just having a membership doesn't entitle me to be able to watch a home game (could they have given us some sort of streaming voucher we could use our barcodes for?). Anyway, good to get a win.
So, the impressions from the way we used to follow a game.
In the first quarter it was pretty clear we were being seriously out-worked by Adelaide. You could tell they were working much harder. Seemed to be maybe half way through the second quarter we started to get going and showed we can slam on goals in a hurry. CCJ certainly started to get a lot of mentions and Chol sounded like he was going ok.
Third quarter also very good. Sounding like a decent period of dominance and well rewarded on the score board.
Adelaide clearly lifted in the last, but we really seem to be having trouble limiting the damage when the other side gets a run. Have to get better at making opposition clearances less effective, this is critical to our defence. No defence can defend against quality quick entries inside 50, if you lose the clearance you have to make sure it is under immense pressure so the delivery is not so good.
The stats were very interesting, check this out: Richmond won disposals by 73, 66 more kicks, 7 more handballs, 2 less contested possessions but 93 more uncontested possessions. Ok, time to sit down now: 91 more marks to Richmond, 2 less contested marks and 93 more uncontested marks. This is not sounding like a Richmond game at all. 12 more marks inside 50 and we lost the inside 50s by 2 (effectively even) so our defence can't have been that bad.
Ok, time to lie on the floor for your own safety: we won the free kick count
Just shows, when the maggots aren't reaming us, we actually have a chance to play decent footy and win games. Figure we will be back to usual next week but was nice to have a week off being reamed.
I'll have a look at the game on TV when I get the chance.

Cool - fair assessment- which station did you listen to.
He will be to busy complaining about how the Tigers get to play all there games in Australia to have noticed.
I would too if I was Sloane. The only good bloke in the Crows team and the opposing skipper is the one walking around with a Brownlow and 3 premiership medals. I would be pissed with that too
I will need to watch the replay but my takes.
Adelaide definitely worked harder in the first...but tired.
We are vulnerable when midfield pressure is off..hopefully improves with Lambo and Shed and a fit Prestia.
We look slow...again missing Lambo and Sheds and the old Rioli and George.
The chaos game has gone! Yep...not working with the outs and new rules. So......Dimma has adjusted to more clean possesssion style..which is slower..to avoid turnovers. Hence Rioli and Castanya have different roles.
Shorts game is vastly different as a result. Stops and looks then tries to pass short. No long bombs out of the square after a point.
The result is a slower game that requires higher skills and a need to win clearances, maintain possesssion and find a target inside 50.
Hey presto....two rucks and three talls up forward are the go.
We have had to make the change due to injuries and rule changes that have suited our opposition sides with talent.
Not yet perfected but today was very different.
Explains the stats of plus 60 uncontested possies and marks.
Not sure it is enough to win us the flag but something had to change.
Obviously more to it than this but my first impressions.
