And if you're going to ask a specific question about a specific player seeing how that player is going isn't too much to ask.

    With respect to the twenty metre/ man on the mark, it was clear all that was happening was journos trying to get a sound bite after the question had already been answered.

    As for questions about the game itself I thought he looked a bit defencive and bristly about questions surrounding our key defenders and didn't handle that well.
    Felt like he had no answers in a way. So went on the counter attack.

    As for the journo, I doubt he wanted to ask the question - 100-1 his editor had told him he had to ask about JUH...given he was being told to ask a question, he therefore prob didn't do too much looking into the situation (which makes sense to me).

    As for the 20-metre stuff/man-on-the-mark stuff...Bevo regularly buys into these debates so why would he be surprised to be asked to get involved again?

    I don't know. I thought it was petty and made us seem like sore losers.
    I guess the question I had was if we would have been abrupt if we had won? I suspect not.
    While on occasions some journo's need a tune up I don't think we won this one.

    Just watched the third quarter and I think we'll be fine.

    Nothing that happened to us on the night isn't fixable. As bad as Schache was he's never going to be out-marked like that again, Adam Treloar isn't going to cough the ball up into the corridor like he did. West will never be penalised for taking the ball and brushing a player's head in the process.

    With the limited opportunities we had in the quarter we broke Richmond down comprehensively.

    We were down and got punished and that's fair enough. I feel a lot better having watched the replay because we were shit and the Tigers were about as good as they could be.

    Alex Keath is also responsible for much of the shit Cordy is being blamed for..........from what I can tell this time around.

    Having watched the last quarter, we're fine and we're better than Richmond if we put it together.

    I have said it before you do some fine work at 3am.

    I find it hard to go back and watch those two quarters.

    So I’ve just watched the first half again and Keath must do all his bad work in the 2nd half because it’s all on Zaine thus far.

    Time to take a few deep breaths before I hit the play button!

    You’re a braver man than I. I can’t bear to watch that third quarter. Beyond everyone panicking, I’d be interested to know what else the replay exposes that we might have missed live.

    It’s how you learn.

    1st goal - Bailey Dale not strong in a spoil contest with Baker. No body contact, Baker recovers well and spots up Riewoldt leading in front of Cordy who trails a couple of metres behind.

    2nd goal - Cordy under minimal pressure kicks it out on the full to Wood who is in the clear. Ball goes in deep and from the next stoppage Treloar dump kicks it back into the middle, like the worst possible spot! Baker ends up with it and kicks long to Lynch in the square who outpoints Keath.

    3rd goal - Lipinski not strong in centre clearance when he has the front spot. Ball goes long into Richmond’s F50 for a stoppage. At stoppage Lipinski gets caught ball watching or is just slow to react and his opponent (Graham) gets the ball and snaps a goal.

    Every time we win possession in the back half it’s just dump kicked out... just a lack of composure. The free kick to Houli was complete BS. Zaine & Keath had no body contact on their opponents and Lynch takes an easy mark to kick their 4th of the qtr.

    Lipinski has had a horrible quarter... like shocking.

    5th goal - Lynch out points Cordy (ridiculously easily) to take a mark on the 50m line and slots.

    Thanks Mantis. Re Lippa, out worked, lapse of concentration or other?

    Makes one wonder what Young isn’t doing to get dropped?

    We lose so many 1 on 1 marking contests for the qtr... so many. We couldn’t halve them... it kills us in the pursuit of field position and time that Richmond don’t have the ball.

    The Bruce miss at the end of the qtr was big... might have been a free, but you don’t miss them from 5m out.

    Onto the last!

    Not careful with the ball, not hard enough in the contest, lack of concentration, and he’s not quick so can’t make ground when behind... it’s clear why he is in and out so often.
