His kicking has been poor since coming back from his ACL injury
Not âonlyâ. Could also be the guy tackling is gassed, and youâve got plenty of energy left.
Our rotations were absolutely stuffed in that final.
(Parish 62% game time, ZM & Redman 60%, Brown 56% (injured), Hepp 53%, Snelling 52%, Saad 45%)
Weagles blew up our mids early, then torched us. Yes they broke a few tackles, more importantly they found space everywhere they looked.
Not sure if a lot more guys were carrying injuries than we knew, or just not able to take the step up in intensity. Either way, fitness and conditioning.
Me too. Hopefully heâs eased up on the shanks.
Was Joe even there at all?
Confidence in his body will hopefully get him back to where he was. He was kicking beautifully before the injury so it canât be a skill issue.
Recognize that mullet anywhere!
Probably in the cafe.
Last year Saady was too fat.
This year Begâs is too skinny.
Next year will be about right.
I love pre season time of the year
Yep, its three bears time.
Technique, strength and, something we were sadly lacking as a collective last year, attitude. The type of manic attitude Devon Smith brings needs to permeate the whole playing group. Itâll be great to have that back and with a little more of the same from Snelling and Zerrett hopefully it becomes contagious.
The Saad too fat thing has got to be the most unfunny meme that Blitz has ever persisted with. And thatâs saying something!!
If we can win a pre-season match, Anzac Day and Indigenous round, I will permit myself to begin to believe.
Indeed, Smith brings it in spades. Youâre right it has to be across the whole group - you canât have one player busting a gut doing that stuff with teammates who donât share the load. Itâs not sustainable.
Anzac day is such a good day. But itâs so sh*t knowing Collingwood always pull out pants down year in, year out. They always are up for it
Talk about multi skilled and multi tasking. You must have the fastest thumbs in the north west to be able to post updates AND push everybodyâs buttons DJR.
Wouldnât bother me if some one else took our spot every year itâs the same â â â â ethier lose by under a goal or getting flogged by 50
edit - I mentioned this to a few Essendon suppoters but the pies treat this day as another footy match while we on the other hand seem to be only interested in the commercial side of things
As are the umpires. Itâs their day to shine.
If youâre a top side you should play and win the blockbuster games the same as the regular games. Itâs one of a number of things we need to improve to get ourselves into that top side category. And itâs on the pre-season track that you train to minimise mistakes. And you donât move on with the drill until itâs done correctly.
They showed the squad doing some meditation under the eye of Rutten on the news yesterday.
If itâs something that helped Richmond succeed then Iâm all for it.
