I usually have a bit of time for Dunstall, but his stoic defence of Lynch belting TDK in the jaw with a straight out hip and shoulder was utter diabolic dribble.

In the post match, they (Dunstall and King) started blaming Weitering for pushing Lynch into TDK, they seem to forget the broadcast these days is 4K 100Hz and the slow motion is unequivocal about the amount of force used by players. Dunstall is of course betting the footy ratings on the general public being dead set morons and swallowing the spin.

However, then along comes Christian, he'll probably clear Lynch and ban Weiters for four weeks.

I felt the same, Weiters only had fingers on Lynch, no force.
Let’s go BIG !

Only in the last with JSOS marking strongly and jogging back to take the shot for a goal, did I feel someone out there was going to try and turn it around at that point. He has that confidence about him that so many of our other players do not. We need mongrel we need inner confidence and some
Prick about us.

I reckon Cowan and Ollie have that too - why was Lord taken off for Doch? He has a bit in him too.

Sorry don’t buy the excuses about takes time to play together, Haynes is a little rusty, first round nerves -
Honestly after the absolute crapSHOW we served up in the first half of our final against Brisbane last year, they should’ve been chomping at the bit to run out and annihilate This team of near-children!  They should be utterly ashamed - and I’m a Voss fan but wtf is the strategy mate!?

Very doubtful about Motlop. Looked slow by foot and mind. Not what we need and will not make it imho.
Reality always wins in the end.

Agree, Haynes and Evans unimpressive on debut. We need a lot better from both.

I think its worth noting, for all their injuries and limitations (speed) 2 blokes who put in last night and did their best work in the last 15-20minutes of the game.....
Silvagni and Docherty.

Yes, they are slow and have been injured and may not have a specific position in the side they can call their own.
BUT....
When the $h!t hits the fan and you want blokes to put their balls on the line and do what they can, those 2 are who you would back to get it done.

Both are pure footballers. Not downhill skiers.

Docherty spent most of the game on the bench. He only played 27% game time, a touch over a full quarter of the game.
He finished with 14 touches and 2 shots on goal (unfortunatly 0.2).

Jack Silvagni did his best Stephen impersonation by being solid down back before being thrown forward to try and win us the game....and he almost did with 1.1 which was our only goal in the last quarter.

Get another 20-odd blokes similar to them out there and we won't have the same lapses like we had last night.

Would’ve liked Elijah out there last night - I wonder how much his absence hurt ?

Both him and Newman were really missed....Elijah would have given us another goalkicker and some relief in the middle.
You look at the Tigers mids and you have Taranto and Hopper then it drops away to Ross, Thomson Dow and McIntosh...its not exactly a Rolls Royce midfield and I reckon Elijah would have given us some drive and quality usage.
Cerra gets a bit of footy but does he really impact or hurt the opposition, cant remember any forward thrust of note with him involved..

Still cant get over how we lost the game on match stats - a complete domination

Small forwards and intercept defending sucked. The amount of times Richmond turned over the ball and not capitalising on their errors is something I wish i never see again

Have willed my myself to watch parts of the game in small doses.  1:15 to go in the last. We're 8 points down Cottrell gets a handball from Cripps in the right forward pocket and decides against all that is holy to try the banana snap at goal when he had a bloke 30 metres out directly in front (Evans)  unmarked he could've passed to.
Selfish, stupid, unprofessional, undisciplined.
Switched off the rest.

If we are pointing out that, then i will point out the contested shot that Cripps had that was smothered. Replay shows Lucas Camporeale all alone 15m behind him facing the goal. An extra handball from Cripps and its a certain goal to Lucas.
But, he tried to do too much, which is a common trend from him......because it usually works.

Plenty of what ifs that you can play out that will send you insane. Best to forget it ever happened and move on to next week.
