During the second quarter and part of the 3rd it was Richmond that started with numbers behind the ball - at times as many as +4 when the ball was bounced.
Richmond’s efforts and output increased massively in the second half, placed a lot of pressure on kicks out of the Port D50.
Several times when Port had to slow up ball movement was because there was either no body ahead, of a sea of Richmond players.. this forced two main movements from Port - switch across to Polec who I thought was brilliant all night, or long to Dixon mostly who attracted multiple defenders.
Neade just floated at Dixon’s feet, let’s be serious he’s not going to be a marking target, and to a lesssr extend neither is Motlop or S. Gray.. in the second quarter it was Dixon crashing packs, Neade & Co just sniffing at the feet, crumb, goal.
Was hard to hit targets inside 50 due to the numbers the Tigers put in there, and Westhoff at times was required to play down back and then finished in the ruck I think?
Watts led well, but was closely watched, as was Robbie Gray.
Wingard & Wines were massive, so was Howard down back.
Biggest let down I saw last night for Port was blokes giving to guys already under the pump or in worse position
