Ok the recent Richmond game plan seems to be to maintain possession.
There seems to be an awful lot of 'defensive' handballs i.e 'I am about to be tackled and need to find a teammate'.
Unfortunately the teamate often seems to be flatfooted and about one metre away.
I am still ok with that, at least we haven't just kicked blindly and created a turnover.
What I don't like is that the player handballing DOES NOT block for his flat footed, one metre away team mate.
This means that the tackling opponent stays in the play and puts the flat footed Richmond handball recipient player under immediate pressure.
The cycle then continues.
We need smarter players who will protect team mates and buy them a bit of time to dispose cleanly.
Love that they are working harder ...... just a bit smarter please.
