player rating out of 5
RUPE (3) some good plays could be an improver
BUCKS (5) all round captain effort some great smothers cummings will love buckley kicking it to him when he has got time to deliver from across half fowaward and wing.
BURNSY (3) for a guy who missed a lot of footy last year played really well will be better for the run.
CLEMMENT (3)nothing brilliant couple of good dashes
COLE (2) first game moves smooth time will tell
CUMMINGS (5) 5 goals from limeted opportunities good effort we need to move the footy quickly to him as he wont take a lot of pack marks
LEON (3) looks a bit heavier looks like mick maybe grrooming him
for on ball roll like to see him play more in side 50 as a daicos like goal sneak
N DAVIS (2) quiet by his standards need him to step up and help out the buckleys and co.
DIMMA (2) not a good game shocker really usually pretty honest
probably will get a bake by mick were he followed richmond player
from wing to ff which his opponet kicked a goal
JOSH (2) clearly underdone hopefully got thru without agrevating
groin.
FREEBORN (2) for a player with his reputation needs to have a
good year or else he maybe delisted.
B HOLLAND (3) not huge stats 3 goals were his highligt
JOHNNO (3) tried hard looks like he strained a groin could miss 2-4
LICA (4) not a big game but sill got 20 possies 6 tackles leading tackler looks like he has worked hard on disposal
TARKS (2) really quiet need more run hopefully being v.c. hasnt effected him
PRESTI (2) tried hard shut down richo when moved on to him but damage was done.
RICHO (2) seemed to be quiet as well but still kicked 3 goals
really need him to have an impact this year or his future is on the line.
RINTOUL (3) got abit of the ball but fumbled alot will be remembered for his gubby allen kick across goal.
ANT (3) underdone like josh but contested well 70 m goal highlight looked a bit sore towards the end
SCOTLAND (3) looks promising couple of fumbles couple of good games he may think he may belong out there
TAZ (3) ok played to far up towards wing and to wide needed to stay around chf but with molloy to comeback in can probably play this role as molly would be the marking target at chf
WAKES (0) wonder if he has waked up yet unlucky collision
OVERALL REVIEW;
we were probably expected to lose richmond were at full strength(i think) collingwood were not with ob,josh,ant,mckee,molloy(is there any one else ive missed)out injured or underdone and the loss of wakes it was a honourable loss.if it is rated as this we must not lose to weagles as we are expected to win by supporters media etc.richmond will be hard to match up on this year with there talls ie stafford ottens richardson holland etc.also we couldnt seem to kick 2-3 goals in a row when we threatened to come back richmond answerd. i suppose we will gauge if we have improved when we meet again in rd17.
HIGHLIGHTS FOR ME;
-ANTS BOMB
-CUMMINGS LEADING
-BUCKS COUPLE OF SMOTHERS AND FIELD KICKING
THE WAYNE BRITTAIN DEFINING MOMMENT;
-chad rintoul kick across goal to make the margin 6 goals at half time could have deflated a few players.
MY QUESTION TO MICK?
with richmond having these tall players why wasnt another tall named as a emergency behind mckee ie cloke tuckey?was the forecast fore cast for rain at the mcg last night?
