Some sides just take to the first game better than others. Others need the hitout.

Pitto isn't the right matchup for all ruckman, but he is what we have at the moment. Tom de Koning would be a better matchup, as he can jump all over any Richmond ruck. But he won't be there for a while yet.

I don't share everyone love for this bloke, never have. SPS epitomises where we are at, we have too many that don't contribute enough for long enough. Richmond to man showed us what it takes to win arm wrestles.Doc hasn't got his touch back yet. That is not a big surprise. But he will get it back, if he can remain uninjured.
And Ill just say this, Doc better fix the fumbles or he can play in the twos also.

Just watched the replay as I missed big chunks on game night.
1. Good overall effort. We pushed them hard - a few moments of lack of composure (Dow, LOB, Harry, Doc) cost us dearly. A few players below par (SPS, Doc, Willo, Smurf) but a few unexpected performers (OMac, Fogarty).
2. If Dow had kicked the goal with 6m left on the clock (and he should have) and put us in front, it's an entirely different game. Then a no free kick to Big Levi......
3. Our players looked very heavy in the legs i.e. slow across the ground. Why?
4. Who will make way for Williams and Martin? JSOS clearly will be out, then Willo or LOB next....Kennedy has performed very strongly in the 2s too (and Stocker not far behind him). Matt is a like for like replacement for JSOS with his midfield grunt a bonus - he's a footy player first and foremost and not at all slow (now he's injury free). Martin for Murphy i would do, but doubt Teague will.
5. Pies were very so so last night. If we can't put them away comfortably, we are a joke still....

To Dows crucial miss, I'd add the lairising by H (play on in the goals square and the play on hook kick from the mark virtaully in front) and Walsh (banana kick from straight in front), they most definitely could have changed the course of the game in my view. Play the %s boys.

Yes, H was not tuned in....at all. But if that's his first gear. looking forward to seeing the rest of them.
2.6 in the 3rd quarter cost us dearly too.
As Teague said, the Tigers simply handled the big moments a lot better.
Our boys should be annoyed with themselves really.

A lot of the Richmond players came back before Christmas from what I heard. So maybe not that much more fitter, maybe just a better team ATM

Just finished watching the game in it's entirety. Yep, as many have already stated, just too many f-ups cost us dearly. Overall I think we were an improve on the team that played same time last year. Saad was super impressive. Walsh, bloody hell. We certainly have a future Brownlow medalist here. No doubt. It's disappointing, AGAIN, but I would be way, way more p!@@ed off if we don't play like that next week against the filth. If we maintain that standard, tidy up on the mistakes we should cover them COMFORTABLY.

1. Good overall effort. We pushed them hard - a few moments of lack of composure (Dow, LOB, Harry, Doc) cost us dearly. A few players below par (SPS, Doc, Willo, Smurf) but a few unexpected performers (OMac, Fogarty). - Agreed. Just some extra composer at crucial times.
2. If Dow had kicked the goal with 6m left on the clock (and he should have) and put us in front, it's an entirely different game. Then a no free kick to Big Levi...... - Heard footsteps I would say. Just before he kicks it he looks to his right and there is a Richmond player bearing down on him which probable made him rush his kick, otherwise he could of taken a few more steps and steadied before kicking.
3. Our players looked very heavy in the legs i.e. slow across the ground. Why? - Maybe many reasons for this. They are a season team and have played in finals for the last few years. Has to have some effect on them as the team.
4. Who will make way for Williams and Martin? JSOS clearly will be out, then Willo or LOB next....Kennedy has performed very strongly in the 2s too (and Stocker not far behind him). Matt is a like for like replacement for JSOS with his midfield grunt a bonus - he's a footy player first and foremost and not at all slow (now he's injury free). Martin for Murphy i would do, but doubt Teague will. - Williams straight in. LOB in trouble and Martin/Eddie in for maybe Gibbons. I like Gibbons, just as bit slow and can be caught out at times. Bambam for SOS.
5. Pies were very so so last night. If we can't put them away comfortably, we are a joke still.... - Pies will come out hard after last nights showing. Cannot take them lightly.
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.
