Richmond Tiger Talk

Tough loss to the Suns, new Tassie team, Tiger book review and VFL.

Shorter pod but still jammed full of pertinent facts. 

Sorting through the games, a little bit of good news and the statistics debate you didn't know you needed.

No pod this week, so sorry.

A few reflections

-Season has a hard reset after Lynch (our MVP) and Nank’s injury. Expectations have to change, but it’s an opportunity as well. 

-Doggies game was lost on the key metrics, but the injuries give a good reason why we couldn’t kick on in the last. English delivered a big middle finger to the pod after last week’s slander by being BOG.

-Trying to take the 2017 positive vibe. Lynch being out means we lose the easy dump kick down the line, but forward line is partly about opportunity and it forces the coaches to refresh and think anew. 

-lots of debate about Taranto, however as many have said  by the hard data he’s actually been very good, including with his pressure. However, afl ratings (which include location tracking) don’t rate him, unusual to have this disparity. One to watch.

-As a collective group midfield not getting it done in the centre square, 2 last in the league.

-Shai back, Rioli great 

-Cumby and Hugo 💪

-Tyler Young continues to get it done 

 

-Judson’s first half made afl ratings melt, good pressure too

-Dusty good overall 

-Flossy’s intercept numbers down and turnovers up in the first four games, one to watch. 

-VFL was disaster, Biggy, Bradkte injured, Steely was good, Bauer played behind ball some and played well, career high 18

-Swans missing plenty too, we are a chance, more to come 

Slightly delayed Pies wrap, then lots of forward-looking analysis including Kaps 150th

Well, that was a... strange win versus the Crows.  We run the game, VFL and preview the huge game verses the Pies. 

*Pod reloaded with better track timing*

Frustrating but exciting draw vs the Blues, mixed reviews on the new recruits and some encouraging signs for the season ahead. Plus VFL, AFLW news and a Crows preview.

Round 1 Preview!

We are back with the usual sizzling post preseason hot takes and a George tribute. 

We discuss the key news and issues of the off-season.
