Was a bit disillusioned when BB replied to a question in the post match presser about the VFL practise game, he said he had been so focussed on the AFL he didn't know what had happened in the VFL.
If BB or his 2ICs had spent 5 minutes looking at the VFL they would have known the oppositions tactics, even so it may have been too late to do anything about it. It's such a rare opportunity to get to live watch an opposition "Reserves" pre-game these days I'm not sure coaches can afford to waste it!

I dont know if its been mentioned on this thread but Fishers tackles on Martin were significant. I wouldnt be surprised if coaches were showing footage of Fishers technique in dealing with the fendoffs before any Richmond game.
It seemed to deflate Martins game as he lost that aura of invincibility with a major part of his game taken away. Well done Fisher and the coaching staff on that one.
It was also good to see Cripps and Fisher working in tandom and it can only get better for us to watch.

It was particularly impressive in view of the very different physiques of the two of them. Bluto and Popeye?

Can Dusty change his behaviour, he's been throwing his arm out so long it's become autonomic, and Fisher showed how to turn it into a weakness?
I think you'll find in the coming weeks more and more players looking for and grab Dusty's arm, at some stage Dusty will get frustrated and raise and elbow instead, then it'll be mid-season holiday time for Dusty!

I think we need to manage our players better. Keep a Cunningham and Samo (for example) out of the midfield for most of the first 3 quarters and then use them in the final quarter.
We definitely need to find a solution to not being able to run out games.
The other thing we should have done was manage the game better in the first quarter when Richmond got a run on. We need to hold onto the ball find the short options and not over-handball - which Bolton rightly pointed out invites pressure. Control the tempo and avoid getting run off your legs chasing tail.

It's obvious to say this results from deficiencies in player experience and skill, but some of it is due to deficiency in training as well.
I found it abhorrent that MM nursed young players through pre-season to avoid collision injuries, it just slows progress in the critical areas of skill development.
You must train the way you want to play, or you'll end up playing the way you train!

Malthouse like him or not knows a thing or two about developing talent.
He's managed to senior coach many into performers. He just didn't do much of it with us.
Regarding stopping the opposition when they get a run on, you need composure to do that, and we were shell shocked for the first quarter. Limited runners and time on field contributes to that.
It also doesn't help that the 6-6-6 rules are conducive to shoot outs.
