I have no illusions that AFL is a hard game, but I also understand that it is eaten of be eaten, you can't walk off the field and genuinely be everybody's best friend.
It's the Clark Kents who get all the goodies!

'Richmond was able to move the ball more effectively scoring 54-7 from defensive midfield chains, and leading 67-35 in overall scores from intercepts.'
We scored 1.1 from clean transition out of defence to 8.6. And they were twice as effective as us capitalising on turnovers.
Just think about that for a few moments and it scares the piss out of you!
But how many of those points were from stoopid, cheap turnovers by our players?
Once the ball is turned over cheaply, all our players are generally out of position vs a vs defensive structures and it only takes one extra attacker to all but ensure an easy goal....

Worse still, we force turnovers then give it back!
There was one in the 2nd or 3rd quarter where we forced a turnover from a kick-out. Weitering marked strongly over an opponent on the point of the center square then sent a bullet like pass inside our F50 for which two blues forked it up. Then Nthmond clean up and send the ball the length of the field, and I hear some commentary spud complain that Weitering didn't push hard enough to get back onto his opponent!
FFS, we have to listen to these dweebs week in and week out!
All I want to see is Weitering taking more contested marks and hitting blokes lace out inside F50, just like he did, and not have to sprint back into our D50 when his team-mates drop the forking chest mark! :o

Nick Reiwoldt is calling Jones' bump on his cousin a weak act lol.

When Richmond got the ball from defensive scrimmage they suddenly ran forward at speed, spread, creating options allowing them so much space in their f50. We simply have no idea in the same situation, move it slow, go down the line then are forced to bomb it into the f50. In the 4th year why can't we do that. We're not lacking decent players now.

Nothing in that apart from Jack being a sook trying to milk a free kick.

He is possibly the biggest sook in the game now that Goddard has retired.

Some of the 54 points they scored from defensive mid field chains would come from a turnover in our i50 that they rebounded to score. But I think this also includes where they take possession in our i50 from a clearance or stoppage, or a kick out.
Once the ball is turned over cheaply, all our players are generally out of position vs a vs defensive structures and it only takes one extra attacker to all but ensure an easy goal....
So there is some duplication in the figure, but I don't know how much. But it correlates with my memory of the game - they moved the ball from our i50 to score at their end on multiple occasions, and I can hardly remember us doing it cleanly all night.

He was hilarious the other week when he said there is a massive drug problem with today's footballers but there was no problem when he played which was 18 months prior.
