Richmond Suffer Stage Fright Once Again

The Tigers may have been only lost by a point against Heave Ho Freo at Subi but the fact of the matter is that once a barrage of inside 50's come their inexperienced defense are shakier than the Greek economy.
A 20 point lead at quarter is hardly a match winning lead but I question Damien Hardwicks lack of initiative when it comes to turning around his side when they start to falter.
Given they could barely manage a forward 50 entry for huge chunks of the game to be close enough all the way through the match was testament them but with Deledio once again badly beaten by Ryan Crowley and the lack of quality small forwards maybe their was a case for him to be isolated at full forward for a while, at any rate cracking game all be it Ross Lyon style ie low scoring show's how even the competition is this year, come Round 23 I can see a complete log jam for position's between about 5th to 12th.

Eagles Get The Freo Heave Ho

The western Derby had remarkable similarities to the the Crows/Bombers the Eagles got off to a flyer opening up a 3 goal lead early but then the Ross Lyon effect kicked in. Relentless attack on the ball, clearances, contested ball forward 50 defensive pressure.
New recruit Danyle Pearce was instrumental, dual Ross Glendinning medal winner's Michael Barlow and David Mundy controlled the midfield along with Nat Fyfe, Jon Griffin did a job on Dean Cox and all this without superstar forward Matthew Pavlich going goaless.
