Our players have no fkn idea how to set up our tall marking forwards. Instead of plonking it on their head, give them space.

Kick the footy to the open grass or to the open pockets and let the forwards run and jump. I hate wasted opportunities and I hate it when we kick to an outnumbered Forward

Who’d have thought a 4g-0 start would see us trail at quarter time

Dudball Howard
Mids starting to get beaten - we are 2nd to the ball
Every forward entry kicked to King
Too predictable

Giving up 10 scoring shots and 40 points in the first quarter, what happened to our lauded defence??

Dougal Howard is a liability


He’s getting a game because he’s tall

He’s actually a horrible footballer

Steele tagging Taranto is an interesting strategy

Just a lazy 10 touches for Tim, 4 for Steele

We have a midfielder coaching our forwards
We haven’t had a decent forward structure since Riewoldt days
We don’t lead up at the ball carrier
We are dumping it in there
Can’t rely on King pack marks all night

As soon as the oppo puts speed on the ball - we can’t defend

Our system breaks down under speed

But why did Sinclair ( who was clear) handball it to Howard who wasn't clear?

All well and good to pile on Howard but that defence was under fire for 10min. I saw Wilkie fire out a stinker that resulted in a goal… don’t see any comments about that.

Point is the midfield is to blame for what happened there

You can see why Richmond got rid of Higgins - no pace over more than 10 metres and no defence. He let his opponent just wander down to the forward line twice - for two goals. Same thing happened last week in the last 29 seconds.
