Match Thread. Richmond, Round 6.

[Legs Akimbo]

Strangely ethralling armwrestle. Our kids look unpolished but the rsw potential is there. Play em I say.

Blakey looks in a real hole at the moment. They should be playing him through the wing.

I am actuallu impressed with hayward in defence today. Has a bit of Leo about him.

Thanks Swans for a great three quarters of hard footy.

Any idea of how long Kennedy should be out for?

Depending on severity, often a 6 week recovery. A grade 1 could be quicker. But the mechanism on Joey’s looked ugly. I’m not sure you’d bother rushing him back for the last 1/3 of the season if we were right down the bottom. Hopefully it’s not as bad as it looked ????

2-8 weeks they said

2 weeks if a mild grade 1. 6 typical. 8 if it’s a high grade 3, conservatively managed that responds well.

This will not make any highlight reels because there have been none.

I like the way our game plan is developing. Once we get our experience up, we should go alright.

It's not compelling football, but the coaching staff have worked out a good plan for this game. We had some good passages of play and look well organised, considering the lack of experience.

The aim is to win the game. We can’t score so we can’t win.

SuperCoach would rather focus on limiting the damage than developing players

What about Rowbottom's goal?

[Foreign Legion]

At least they have had a real go.

That is a good sign. Young debutants doing well. Mills playing very well IMHO. We just don't have a natural forward beyond Papley.

[stevoswan]

What are your thoughts on the Mills deliberate? When I saw it live I thought it was a free because he just stepped over the line. However, the replay showed that Riewoldt pushed him over the line so I don't think it should have been a free. Cost us a goal but that's typical Stevic.

The ABC Grandstand commentators called it a "gift" and struggled to figure out how he wasn't under pressure when he was actually pushed over the line....except Victorian Luke Ball, who was happy with it.....no surprise there.

Has Blakey had a touch yet?

We are undersized. Why not play Maibaum? Why drop Aliir for bad form when he has plenty of mates? Whay are all our players coming down with soft tissue injuries, many at training? I am only too aware we are under-manned. But to go into a game with an under 10's backline is astounding. This has nothing about being successful. It is about astounding selection decisions even before Aliir. It is about the 'what the @@@@' game plan that will never win a footy match.

We picked the tram for slippery conditions probably. Coaches are not idiots.

Blakey and Stoddart to go out next week with Kennedy, the rest of the team has been good with effort. Our defence has been amazing, forward line not so much

[Melbourne_Blood]

Certainly enough good signs in what is a development year for us . Very frustrating to watch though, but I understand why they aren’t bombing long as the result is turnover rebound and scoring opportunities for the opposition.

They’ll need to start trying something though, still need to at least try to win the game.

Heeney has taken a few speckies

[longmile]

Also Fox very good in defence

[dejavoodoo44]

That Parker goal would have come in handy. I think I've seen Martin get away with a few of those.
