3rd qtr when at 43-56
Rohan�s break where he took the game on and rance smothered
Then the two way running counter from Richmond was simply the best in the Comp
The sprinting from the tigers midfield and half forward flooding forward and the amount of options was superb for the kicker
The separation the tigers made on the Swans in this passage an many othe situations was first class
I love the way the tigers decided to feed the ball high on the 50 arc for their forwards and said �Sydney u leave that space open and we will take u on one on one�
It worked
It was smart
JR stood up
They all need to practice selling the candy, they�ve lost the art , even Buddy.
We look to American sport for all our new ideas and I'm sorry to say our game is worse for it. the players are now just meat to the market. our rules and umpiring is crap as is the rule in the USA. We have opened our game up to exploitation by gambling by having a gambling corporation sponsor.
I love our game and all the bright ideas of the stupid @@@@wits at the AFL to fix the congestion like zones is bull@@@@ and so @@@@ing counter productive to the game. The solution is quite simple. Just get rid of most of the rules introduced since Gil The Gullable has been in power.
We were never in this game. It seemed we were but they always had our measure. That is because we had several passengers. Messers Jack, Rohan and Hannaberry (he might have had 20 but when he disposes at 25% it may as well be nothing) were a disgrace. I never thought we'd win. but if you remember rightly in 2012 we were given a footy lesson on how to win the hard ones by the Hawks in the last round and then beat them in the big one.
But this loss was a bit bigger than that. A 22 point disposal of us by Tigers, in a game they were always in control of is simply a reason to search for answers. We played into their hands by bombing long to Franklin one out against 4. @@@@ing stupid. Some of the worst offenders were experienced players. Hannaberry kicked to Bud even though he had three and then four players on him on several different occasions, he had far better options all free. Stupid football is played by stupid players who just can't change. The game plan has moved on from just bombing to Bud but certain of our players have yet to understand that.
Next week if I see Hannaberry, Jack or Rohan in the line up I am not going to bother supporting the Swans ever again. I won't support the AFL at all. I wil go to local footy. These guys are getting games on reputation alone. I am sorry for Gaz and the death of his baby and always said that maybe this period should be spent in the reserves due to the psychological load. But there comes a time when reputation alone is not enough.
LONGMIRE MAKE THE HARD DECISION AND DROP ROHAN, JACK AND HANNABERRY!!!

Yes they were smart and never looked like losing in my opinion. But it didn't help to have a few players who's defensive efforts were just disgusting. Jack and Hannaberry were diabolical in chasing. both just gave up and left it to the young blokes. They were a coordinated unit. We were not. They left the corridor free we did not. How did that happen? Quite simple, they worked far harder.
We had three players who should be dropped immediately; Jack, Hannaberry and Rohan. Their efforts were a disgrace. They made it difficult for the younger players and there should be an example made of them.
Richmond is a complete team, we are not and never will be until players do not get picked on reputation alone.
One statistic I�d really like to see for each player is the distance covered. Even if we only got to see the cumulative total for each team. They give this in the English Premier League and it is a good indication of work rate.

I think the passage of time is embellishing your memory of Jetta. He was great in 2012 but that was his only good year. In those years he would usually only get a handful of possessions, just like Rohan. The difference between the two is the Jetta was slightly better offensively and Rohan is significantly better defensively. At least Rohan chases opponents down and lays tackles. Jetta was too lazy to do that. The only reason he got a game in the years after 2012 was because he was our only player with leg speed.
