These block free kicks... you can't contest anymore if you are Richmond

It’s an undermanned team no question but it’s been embarrassing since the end of the 1st quarter.

Non existent midfield, no pressure on contest and poor defensively. Just need to bring effort in the second half.
That's the problem, no real effort, just ball watching and coughing it up by poor basics

Says more about us than them. We’re just so poor. No midfield pressure makes it hard but no defensive intent either.
Darling looks like he's been called out of retirement to fill in, Waterman looks like a goalkicking legend in a bush league seconds team, Cripps has been around for 20 years and I thought Petrucelle had retired 5 years ago, and they're tearing us apart.
 
Umps woke up, 8 frees to 4 but doesn’t explain an 8 goal qtr by WC - really disappointing qtr.

What’s the blocking free, Nank had positioned himself really well ffs?

Just *smile* Capuano Kosi at half time. Just dropped another mark this time uncontested mark. He is just no *smile* good!!! Would rather play one man down.
 
Not sure what to make of that half. Pantsed in the midfield and particularly at stoppage. I know some will jump on Dow's 3 clearances to half time (joint team high) but when his direct opponent has 8 clearances to half time he's getting his pants pulled down. Need some bigger bodies in the midfield with Kelly and Yeo running right in there (they have 13 clearances between them).
 
Our midfield is being given an absolute smashing. Baker has been almost ok. Not much Yze can do if we don't lift in this area of the game. Could be a very ugly second half.
 
Is this our worst midfield for 40 years?

At least in the early 90s we had knights Campbell lambert etc

If we get within 30 points it will be a huge effort. Half our side out you can't cover that.

Nothing left. Pickett. Martin ?
 
Sad to say but the great man is also done. Hope he gets to 300 and pulls the pin. No need to go on
