Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond - Pre-Game

[PaulP]

I thought two clubs intimidated Nthmond last season, Adelaide and St Kilda, on both occasions it was the opposition smalls who ran riot against them. Rance was poor in both games, partly because both opposition sides had more than 10 goal kickers and Rance cannot cover them all. Which is one of the reasons I think expecting two or three talls to kick bags against Nthmond is a losing strategy. The two times opponents really got hold of them medium / smalls kicked bags.

Nthmond reversed the trend when it mattered.

Yes, no doubt. But I bet other teams watched those games, and tried to repeat the dose, and failed. Even the Crows themselves couldn't repeat it. The sign of a good team when you can right the ship the way the Tigers did.
