yep was definitely a step back. Richmond, despite not having their best players did play as a team and got the job done. Their game plan was simple pressure, tackle, turnover, run hard and get the ball forward and luckily it all fell into place. We couldn’t handle their pressure, run, strength and got punished at ground level. So much for all the talls in our team. Talls are overrated if they can’t take a mark. Then they are just become a liability.
Maybe a team of strong midfielders who can kick, tackle, and run hard instead of all the talls might work better for Freo. They can’t find their tall forward targets anyway.
