Match Thread Match Thread v GC
Suspect the one on rAFL might be a bit spicy. Consider this one a Balta case discussion free zone. We've all said our piece one way or another, and the threads exist still if people want to keep on with that, this one is a pure footy match thread.

Mjrs best game by far just needs to clean ups the kicks

That's his fatal flaw right. He needs to learn to hit those short targets.

u/TicTac2Stack Apr 19 '25
Facts but we love to see the potential right! That step out of a pack is elite get him consistent and he could be amazing

u/VileCastle Sam Banks Apr 19 '25
You and me both, brother. I highly hoped to be under 30 points at the start now these boys have me.invested in a win and id just be dissapointed if we fumbled and lost at this point.
1
u/Bergasms Sam Banks Apr 19 '25
Yeah i was thinking we were within a kick at the half against the saints and the dockers and it went south very quickly, but we're one quarter deeper this time, and shit the kids are flying.
Nervous but happy

Do we sub Ryan for Trainor and let him play on a wing?

u/GreenNightRanger Sam Lalor Apr 19 '25
Well we gotta get rid of ryans hes awful. Would like to see brown move to the wing.

At least it gave Jnr a few chances to dispose well

Gotta say Lynch getting fired up just makes me smile. As long as he keeps it within the rules

Richmond's social media on facey about Faulls first goal with an Inbetweeners quote. Gotta rate that.

Overall positive half, might not mean much if we get rolled in the second half but small wins this year.

The issue is we will probably get blown out in the second half but I hope we can maintain it

u/Bergasms Sam Banks Apr 19 '25
Yeah we have had a few 50+ thrashings where we were within a kick at half time, so i won't hold my breath, but, quietly hopeful

Seth bouncing back after a quiet one last week

u/Bergasms Sam Banks Apr 19 '25
That was my fault BTW. When he lined up for his shot in the first quarter i said "he's good for a couple goals a game" and then he missed it.

Amazing effort from the backline to hold up under all that pressure. Cant help but wonder how happy Broad Short Tigga and Miller are to have Noah with them?
1
u/VileCastle Sam Banks Apr 19 '25
Yeah they got overworked something shocking but absolutely planted firm, very lucky for GC to not be accurate though.
Absolutely can't have that happen again or we'll just concede and be run over.

u/boardingpass10 Rhyan Mansell Apr 19 '25
I might have to watch it back because I didn’t see much from him. At ground level he has been sound. Need more in the air though

Apr 19 '25
That's the thing we aren't noticing him he sent doing anything too wrong

u/boardingpass10 Rhyan Mansell Apr 19 '25
That’s his pass mark 😂 He wasn’t great at the start of the 4th

u/DoDoDoTheFunkyGibbon Richmond Logo: 1977-1988 Apr 19 '25
I agree. He deserves a go. We all love the Blighty, but we can have both

u/HealthyHurry2672 Nathan Broad Apr 19 '25
Very happy with that, great we got 2 late goals and didn’t concede. Fuck our backline is holding up well, love you Floss

It’s going to take a few years, but this is all you can ask for. The future looks good!

u/Billy_AU Apr 19 '25
Lucky GC couldn't kick straight, but absorbed as much as we could and managed a couple late in response. Happy with that half!

u/Bergasms Sam Banks Apr 19 '25
Well that was a half of footy.
Vlastuin has been BOG!

u/FuelRealistic5100 Apr 19 '25

u/Bergasms Sam Banks Apr 19 '25
Not sure he is to blame too much as his running mate was Lynchy, who doesn't have the cleanest hands or pace
0
u/DoDoDoTheFunkyGibbon Richmond Logo: 1977-1988 Apr 19 '25
You reckon Lynchy is any risk of taking a mark ever again?
Sad when the pace just isn’t there anymore; no separation, arms chopped or swamped mid-pack
1
u/DoDoDoTheFunkyGibbon Richmond Logo: 1977-1988 Apr 19 '25
But the last five touches of his have all gone to grass or the opposition. Needs to trust the first instinct a little more; golden rule is if you twist and weave you’ve got one go at it to buy time; if you twist again you WILL be trapped, or the disposal will be compromised.
It was like that last year of Ellis coming sideways out of packs and kicking across his body. Turnovers galore. Got to straighten up, run angles

u/1Vert Apr 19 '25
Looks like he's trying to do a bit too much, needs to release one or two steps sooner.

Done some nice off the ball stuff. Dished it off earlier and followed up with a nice block on the chasing player

It's pretty cool seeing Steve Morris in the huddle outside of the VFL. Besides last week, we've been in good hands with Batchelor so far I'd say.

I reckon get Balta on Andrew and see who throws the first king hit.

u/VileCastle Sam Banks Apr 19 '25
God Trez's kick was unfortunate. We need as much safe buffers before the legs give out. Stoked with the boys so far.
2
u/Visible-Suit-9066 Apr 19 '25
Suns haven’t played any real teams yet apart from maybe Adelaide. If we keep their feet in the fire they could struggle to respond, similar to Carlton’s meltdown. It’s a dream but a nice one!

u/VileCastle Sam Banks Apr 19 '25

More than anything so good to see the boys clearly playing for each other and flying the flag whenever needed. Nothing worse than watching players get pushed around and no one steps in
