I really didnt think Brown stood up tonight. I will have tow watch the game again.
Decision to play Moore forward was not bad in itself. What was bad was the inability to respond when Allan and Darling started to run riot.
Loss of Howe was a dagger in the heart as well.
Main issue though is the lack of midfield power.
No quality inside mids to extract/contest the ball after quarter time.

Yep I thought Crisp was awful.
Made some costly errors tonight.

| I thought Sidey started a mini-revival in the last quarter. What had he been doing for the previous two I wonder? Is he getting too old for a four quarter effort? |

I think alternating Sidebottom between the midfield and forward line might be the way to go.

| Good thinking. So he is getting past being able to sustain his output in the middle across four quarters? |

It is not just bad luck. Why does it hardly happen to Richmond? Because they play as a team wave. The whole team is in total synergy. I watched their game against St Kilda in bewilderment. St Kilda was terrible, but in large part because of Richmond's team inner co-ordination and dynamism. Because they apply pressure at every contest, not just one individual, but several, each individual is protected by the group. How they get to the contest as a swarm is the key. Well, one aspect is just leg speed. And that is where we are, sadly, bereft.
The main thing is midfield capacity. They just have so much talent and power to run through there.
Injuries to Tay and JDG simultaneously now are quite devastating.
I am worried about the next few games.

I believe it's the fitness and no injuries that let Richmond swarm and pressure, not the other way round. (It's not the swarm and pressure that make them injury-free.) |

100% agree.
Imagine Martin getting a broken nose and concussion within the first 10 minutes of last years GF??
There is zero chance that the Tigers would have won.

Could it be both? A reciprocal relationship perhaps? |

But you need to explain why they have no injuries!!
Sounds like a vicious circle!!
No doubt, their injury management is a cut above most others (and especially ours!!)
But I also think that the way they play mutually shield each other, It is all probabilities, but I think they minimise the probability of injury by team coordination.
