WB Game Day V Richmond R7 2021

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Honestly where does West sit? Does he have what it takes?

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

We learnt we’re no where near it right now.

I don't think that's true. We learned in April, where we need to improve. I prefer to look at it as a sting, that shows the whole team and coaches what we need to do play with the big boys, week in week out.

[Stefcep]

Clearly we need another KPD.

The midfield just disappeared after half time. Bont played his worst game I've seen.

West, Shacke, JJ simpply not up to it.

[G-Mo77]

Bevo boasting a coupla weeks back that Richmond basically copied his homework to win three flags tastes real good about now.

If Schache, Johannisen or Cordy play again this year I’ll Plough-style spew up.

Schache over Sweet? Cordy over Young? JJ over McNeil?

[Grantysghost]

And what’s the opposite of chanting Brucey because I wanted to do that for all the second half. That was 2020 Bruce.

[MrMahatma]

So, about that depth eh?

Yep! Names on paper mean nothing.

[DOG GOD]

The problem is the best 2 teams have lynch and Dixon.

[Stefcep]

So in a game like this would Wallis be worse than JJ West and Schache?

So in a game like this would Wallis be worse than JJ West and Schache?

Hannan as well.

It's easy in hindsight. I'm not sure that given how hot Richmond's pressure became what Wally would've added to change it.
We choked further up field, in how we promoted the ball. Bombing to four on 1's, shallow entries in the centre, just gave the game to Richmond on their terms.

Richmonds mature backline killed us tongiht : astbury, broad, Balta, baker . Mature , stronger and dominated any stoppage. Until last 3 mins , zero entries into our fwd half in 3rd quarter . Only person who presented was naughton
Richmond relentless pressure just all around the ground . Baker and shai were outstanding
nankervis overhauled Martin

A lot of our players had stinkers and as a whole not working hard enough

Tonight was the standard we had to beat . Cannot miss targets or marks
We had to dig in and run over the TOP but they were just too good. Cannot have one minute of lapse with this standard

We were going to lose a game by poor kicking , and tonight was just terrible

I agree that some players probably stamped their times at the dogs tongiht .

I can see why ncNeil and scott are in the team with their fwd pressure

Was nice to see 2020 Bruce rear his head tonight. Some of the those ‘dropped’ marks were amateur level (did he even get a finger to some of them?)

I felt from about half way through the second we lost the ability to transition from defence, always felt like we were half a kick too skinny.

[AshMac]

Reality check tonight. We dominated them for the first quarter and a half and allowed them to steamroll us from half time.

Needed to score more in the first quarter but wouldn’t have been enough, we couldn’t wrestle back momentum. So Many players just disappeared. We learnt a lesson about our depth perhaps not being where we thought it was.

That run under the ball in that last quarter was just awful.
