Thought Gov was pretty solid for 99% of the night, then had a few howlers.
Weiters did well on Lynch all night, got caught out by an assy bloke by Taranto hich allowed Lynch to mark it and goal to square the game.

Apparently Jack was upset his old man didnt go into the rooms for the post match photos with family. I know he works at another club but it’s your son mate.

We had a lot of players who were very ordinary. Got smashed at I50's and thought we were mauled at the stoppages but I'm still gutted we couldn't hold on for the win. Bloody O'brien should have kicked to H way earlier than he did but didn't. Then Harry slips over on what I would suggest was a ground that had been resurfaced. Guess we were lucky to get some points but doesn't make it any easier to swallow.

Start of the 3rd quarter i had that here we go again sinking feeling.
Never felt comfortable and still dissapointed to see players not thinking their way through the game. We go to pressure the ball carrier leaving a man free behind and predictably, I see the hunter just being passed by and then having to chase tail.
Its a mortal sin to allow your opponents that much time by "applying pressure". I would have thought it smarter not to commit and make the opposition defender advance artificially closing space whilst drawing them up field, and giving your team mates time to shuffle in.
It happens time and time again, which baffles me.
Ultimately not taking our opportunities when they present cost us the game. We missed finals last year by half a percent. 2 points is a dangerous thing to throw away in that equation.
We looked a bit too one paced and Richmond looked spritely by comparison.
A 4th umpire isn't helping the game. Still seeing the throws, the rubbish free kicks and not sure why Shai Bolton is a protected species.

Think he was the player that gifted Dusty with the 1st goal from memory after spilling a mark he should have taken but he seemed to settle after that. Weitering did well on Lynch but three goals probably took the gloss off his game.
Acres looked a bit nervous all night and was a tad disappointing although the Richmond wingers were equally as innocuous imho.
Both teams seem to mirror each other in terms of players contributing and others doing SFA......
Lynches goals were in the 3rd and 4th qtrs

Also, with Richmond, never seen a team kick the ball blindly off the ground, or in one case into the knee of an opposing player, so much and see it end up in the hands of a teammate.
