UPDATE I Just watched the replay and it was given a behind (score changed from 84 to 85)
UPDATE OF THE UPDATE Boyd kicked a point and they didn't add a behind (score corrected)
After Boyd kicked his point the scoreboard went down for a few seconds then came back the same score to cover for the error when they gave Charlie's brainfade a point. Heard that on SEN this morning.

Between the inevitable let-down after last week's big win and Doc's knee, combined with a Richmond outfit who were always going to be fired up, there was a real chance we would turn up half-baked and get rolled.I agree. Richard had 3 of their best back and close to their best combo on the field and they were motivated to react after last week's embarrassment. But we looked to be the better team for most of the game. But for our kicking, we would have won by 5 goals. We stuffed up so many times in the forward 50, and, what irritated me more, we didn't look for short options very often. Not enough leading.
Nankervis was a big 'in' for them, and he beat Tom early. I would have liked Pitto out there, as he has the body to handle Nankervis. But Pitto isn't fit yet and doesn't look like he is going to be for a few weeks yet.
I loved the way Tom smothered and chased and tackled in the centre square.

Had two chances (start of the second and start of the last) where we could have put the game to bed - if we had established a 20+ lead at any stage, I think the Tiges would have faded - but we stuffed up enough to keep them interested.The way we played in the middle part of the second quarter was magnificent in all but one way: our finishing in the forward 50. We will be better when a fit Jack martin and a fit Motlop are ready to go. Not sure when that is going to be, though. This was the 2nd's last practice match and we have a bye for VFL Rd 1! We really need our listed players to get more game time under their belts.

That and the smothers and the way we read the ball after those things happened. Mitch McGovern was really good at taking advantage of a tackle or smother. He had a very good game.

I think his season will only get better. And Harry's 'ball on the ground, 10 steps, kick' routine is clearly a keeper.had to agree. To see the way Tom finished off was what I wanted. He can do this, he just has to believe he can.
H also seems to have the belief at the moment. Charlie needs a dose of it; he should have had at least 5.
Fantasia needs some belief badly. He'll be back in the two's when Martin and/or Motlop are available until he believes he can kick goals again.
Mind you, the twos are not looking that great at the moment. Power is great at working with the kids and developing them, but he isn't a great coach. He needs to be doing more development while a good coach gets our players going.

Perhaps THIS is the year he finally gets it. Could be a good year for him and us if it is.

I really think that everyone needs to rememeber who Lewis Young is, he is a a backup and as a backup we need to have a little more faith in him, look where we would be without him? think about that get onboard and pump up his tyres a little , whilst he is down a little support from all may prove to be a benefit . he wasnt picked up to be the main man.

Interesting game!
I was always pretty confident that we would win, and we should have won by a bigger margin if we had kicked straight ... and Charlie didn't get a rush of blood. The soft free kicks awarded inside Richmond's 50 didn't help but we got one back with the slightly generous 50m penalty put De Koning within range.
I'm not sure what Lewis Young has to do. He kept Lynch quiet, went for his marks when that was the best option and killed the ball when it wasn't. He distributed the ball well and 19 disposals at 94% is pretty good for a key defender. McGovern, Newman and Kemp were very effective but Saad, Williams and Boyd let themselves down with some uncharacteristic shocking disposals.
Owies and Fantasia again had nights to forget but at least Owies made up for some poor kicking with two very nice goals. Durdin looked lively when he came on but didn't really get into the game. Fogarty, Cuningham and Cottrell were OK, if a little down.
Harry looks like he's owning the second ruck role and was again very impressive around the ground ... and his kicking for goal was all that you could ask for. De Koning is really blossoming as our first ruck and Nank learnt that he can look after himself while taking the honours in ruck contests and impact around the ground.
We had quite a few players who didn't perform as well as they normally do, Cerra for one. At the other end of the scale, Cripps was outstanding, McGovern not far behind, McKay was dominant, Hewett was good, Acres was his usual solid self, Carroll was promising and Saad was good if let down by some poor kicking; unusual for him.
That's eight points in the bank and victories over the premiership favourites and a team with a solid core of premiership players.

TDK is 24 y.o and about the age you expect big guys to go into Beast Mode and will be in Beast Mode for next eight years
Re: AFL Rd 1 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Richmond - laj - 03-15-2024
We 422nd our of 424 for the highest percentage at 2-0...lol.
Only Fitzroy 1943 and the Dogs 1951 have been lower at 101.9 and 101.4 respectively.
