I will hate not being there.
This is just weird.
Good news, BT in quarantine 👍🏼
First kick inside fifty is moon ball to a midget, which is cut off, then a fifty metre penalty from a Dow mistake. Goal tigers.
Sounds like the last ten years of crap.
This will be a 100 pointer people. We can't hit a target thirty metres away.
Game over
Reiwaldt has just taken the crowd out of the equation... need a quick reply !
Same as last year
This club is officially a joke
Umpiring hasn't changed, they hate us.
Dow is a bust.
Pfffft!
We needed to target a player like Bradley Hill. Outside run and class.
Jack Martin wouldn't even put his hands up on the mark.
Introverts mouse quiet and nowhere to hide!
That the game is being played at all is a joke.
Umpires are a bigger joke. There, season is 12 mins old and my first “we wuz robbed” comment 🙄
Gee the move to not play De Koning with Kreuzer going down was a masterstroke
Umpires crape, we have learned nothing. Same old same old!! 😕
Richmond are as good as we are bad. Just horrible
30 mins into the season and we are already embarrassing. No midfield. Will be a pumping.
That's it for season openers, if COVID-19 didn't kill us this game did!
The ball has been disinfected.
Lucky we got him for nothing
The Carlton players were poisoning it.
Can’t watch this, gone backwards we have no idea, easy goals missed poor skills hope a player gets the virus this week to end this farce
Nice little momentum-killing turnover by Smurf gifts Rioli a goal at the other end.
Wait - what year is this?
Marc Murphy has butchered almost every opportunity he has had.
1st vs 18th, that is all
Plowman the weak link as usual.
16 min terms and we still get done in red time.
I'm sorry, we waited how long for the same crap to be served up to us again?.
Richmond's VFL side would beat us.
So far I have seen no progress. Still making the same errors and lack of pressure.
tigers have laid 22 more tackles to half time - enough said
How can you compete when 5 years into a rebuild we are still having to carry the midfielders like Setterfield, Newnes, Dow Fisher and Cunningham.
That group would be lucky to get a game in tigers reserves.
Thankfully the season is only 17 games long.
Jack Martin showed a fair bit that quarter. We still have no forward line. Controlled 75% of the quarter and outscored 4 goals to 1.....
Same kids still making mistakes and contributing nothing. Dow couldn't win a one on one against himself. Fisher useless, Setterfield and Cunningham invisible.
Slow. Can't tackle, can't hit a target thirty metres away, can't enter F50 like a team that plays in the top tier. Why not Teague?
Small defenders can't defend, no support for Cripps.
An entire preseason, and they serve up this utter rubbish.
You're out of excuses Carlton.... We're watching the wooden spooners.
It's not real footy and the players know it - it's a stage show....
They simply shouldn't be out there.
And the umpires in Q1 were disgraceful.
Wouldn't have even turned it on but that my little boy was keen.
Weitering, Walsh, and SPS are the only ones from our rebuild that would play in this current tigers team.
5 years into a rebuild. Omg we are bad.
Just very sad, wish I hadn't watched that first half
😪
When we finally dig in, we amputate our toes in the process.
2 down, no real fwd line etc
Same stuff different year.
What record will we break?
Biggest flogging in shortest game 🤔
Those three show the right stuff, I'll give you that, but seriously, we're got blokes - they're not kids anymore - that need to extract the digit or we should cut them because they're either dogging it or over rated.
Seriously - no 50 on dusty for Murphy??????
Why kick it to Dow?
Dusty kicked that player on ground but it won't be looked at.
Tackles
Richmond 40
Carlton 13
Setterfield fumbles... Goal. Story of his career.
Cuningham 2 Kicks for the game so far wtf
Time to show him the door.
Lets face it, we are just a putrid football side, more heads will roll this year. We just dish up the same tripe year in year out. Cant hit target by hand and foot, cant score goals from dead in front, make dumb decisions. Rinse Repeat.
Gees Murphy cops some treatment.
“Let him go”... he doesn’t, but no 50....
This whole new “the reigning premiers don’t get paid 50meters” rule is hurtling is a little. Holding the ball not too far behind
Doherty has been handy, at least uses the ball OK.
Flyboy was right about Martin. The guy can play.
Newnes can't though. Extremely average.
That's a report on Astbury.
Yep. There's not much of him, but he can lay a decent tackle, kick goals, doesn't shirk the rough stuff, ok skills. Good start JM and well played. Maybe our best so far.
Won that qrtr. Like Martin.
Casboult trying hard
Yep solid. If K has done a foot, I fear that might be curtains.
If you throw enough punches in the dark sooner or later you going to hit something.
Crap, that Newnes.
We've definitely looked the better team most of the 4th. Tiges looked a little rattled.
Nice burst atm
As soon as we get close we panic.
Newman and Plow leak goals.... A lot of easy goals. Time to give Willo a try I reckon.
3 goal loss would have been a good result considering the start
Not enough work done by too many. Mind you, losing Kreuzer screwed us.
We won the 3rd and 4th. Shame about the first 2.
Riewoldt deliberately wiped his nose on Cripps at 3/4 time.
In this environment it's unacceptable behaviour!
Our inability to cut sides up on the outside kills us. Great with contested possession but on the outside, no good. Just doesn't allow us easy ball inside 50. Richmond's ability to waltz through the corridor and set up an easy goal was just about the complete difference.
Something to work with at least. We must move on from Kreuz though. Just not durable enough unfortunately.
Our ball use by foot kills us when the game is up for grabs
Can't help rolling the ankle but it is close.
The difference: 4 more scoring shots, 4 goal win 😟
We were patchy. When we were poor it was a lack of team first effort, and terrible kicking. Too few forced into errors.
When we were better, it was the likes of Crippa, Casboult, Martin who excelled. Then our defense found their mojo.
In the end... it's clear who needs to lift and find some form.
Filthy slimebag.
Make him wear a muzzle!
We can't hurt sides on the outside hence we're are forced to kick it into crowded spaces.We smacked the Tigers on the insides but they killed us on the outside and got easy goals as a result. The one real difference in the game.
Inability to hit a bloke with the same jumper kills us. Inability to score easy goals from virtually in front (Jones, Dow twice I think, SOS), theres the difference. To their credit they fought it out and minimised the damage. Still a loss.
Wonder what Teague said to effect that change
We should not be called The Blues anymore. We are officially the red time kings. I'd love to know how many goals we f'n concede every f'n quarter in the last 2 minutes.
Every f'n year rinse and repeat! F'n hopeless!
Impressed with Martin, kicked straight, and used the ball well. Docherty made a good return and will be better vs a less fleet footed team. Thought Levi battled hard in the ruck and was handy all game. Richmond mids as a group probably won them the game although I thought Cripps was the best mid on the ground. Thought the tigers took the foot of the gas but we fought on well and it wasn't a bad effort vs a very good tigers team.
