Is this too ‘glass half full’ but with an ordinary 41 forward 50 entries and a couple of howler misses, we were still a kick off the pace in the last quarter. Therefore our conversion must be considered very good!  More entries, less ‘Tiger type pressure’ up forward ( it won’t be like that every week!) and I think our forward line can stand up.

Just to add to this, I  was really pissed at SPS for his pathetic effort at tackling Lynch in the last quarter. With 6:26 to go in the last quarter, he tries to bump Lynch who is running into the forward line. He bounces of Lynch who does not even break stride. I gave it to him and in no uncertain terms.
Mate I am SPS's biggest and harshest critic on this site, have been for years but fair suck of the sauce bottle, 200cm/100kg vs 182cm/78kg what do you reckon is gonna happen?

Agree, given the shellacking we copped with I50 numbers, to be in it up to ears for that long is a credit.

Unless we can replicate the I50 scoring efficiency from last night, the low I50 number is a bit of a worry for mine. Very much a wait and see IMO.

An an example, Cripps did that on at least 3 players. Ran though them like they weren't even there.....and he's smaller than Lynch

I was at the game. I was so high up in the stand there was a Sherpa struggling for breath. The fact we got smashed in the centre clearances and couldn't really lock the ball in our front half, in the end the difference was Dusty Martin. He kicked six goals against us a few years back and I thought this game was far better. He was unstoppable. Without him, Richmond are a good average side. With only Cotchin out and playing as well as they did, I am not seeing much improvement in them, though in this match they were pretty good because of Martin. We had seven out guys out who you would normally consider strongly for selection and there was another three or four in the Reserves so our depth is getting to be pretty good. We still make too many skill errors and decision errors and we looked a little under done with regards to fitness though you want to be running flat out at the end of the year more so than at the start of the season. Saad is a ripper and if he continues on the way he played then he was worth the first round pick we gave up for him. McGovern is going to have to work hard to get in the side considering the way Silvagni and MacDonald played. Why wasn't the run down and tackle a free kick for Silvagni. It was an incredible effort. Our teaming and team awareness really needs to improve but that should happen with greater confidence, as well as playing and winning together. While I was reasonably comfortable with the performance, all could be washed away next week against Collingwood.

Saw this somewhere else so hope it's right. After the 20 minute mark in each qtr. Richmond scored 10.5. 65 to Carlton 1.6.12.


Seems accurate to me.

BTW - I am a little worried about Murphy.  His ball use is better than most but he has never been great without the ball and his chases do not inspire me.  Not sure who is the less inspirational chaser, Murphy or SPS.

The problem with Murphy is his chasing is fine, but even if he catches an opponent I think they don't feel the inferred pressure. 

He can't tackle.  Its not a lack of want, his shoulder issues and lack of ability to apply strength is leading to opposition knowing they can brush him off and run off very easily.

Murph laid 3 tackles on the the night along with Walshy and Dow, Cripps, LOB and Saad laid the most with 4. SPS laid 1.
As for chasing, for whatever reason I reckon sometimes its a tactic as too often, too many of our blokes don't seem to chase or try and corral their opponent with the ball. They tend to sit off, any one else notice this?

Yes, I'm sure it's a tactic. I'm quite convinced that Teague really wants players keeping their feet. But it was a very open, low tackle game. We laid 38 tackles, Tigers 43. Riewoldt had the game high with 5 tackles.

Kane's message for Teague : "man up Dusty !"

Watch from about 15.40 onwards.

Stuck out like Dogs Nuts.. Have a look at vision.  6 coaches doing what?? Who is our defensive coach...
Our stupidity has just helped out all the other coaches V Tiggers.....

It's understandable to get worked up when you see that vision, but I'd be wary of Kane "the king cherry picker" Cornes. Our defence has done plenty right in recent times, and I think Dale Amos is doing a very good job. All defences will get caught out sooner or later. The Brisbane Lions defence was rumbled big time last night. 23 marks I50 v 5. It's a bad stat, from a team near full strength on their home deck, that finished 2nd last season.

As a minor addendum to my previous post, the I50 count in our game was 75/41 the Tigers way, yet marks I50 was 16/10 their way. That's a very good defensive effort which ever way you slice it IMO.

 Yes, but it's sort of like claiming a win for killing some enemy as they over-run your home town with minimal resistance!
