Coming into this game, I had a feeling we were going to see a team display another string to their bow in order to emerge from this game as the winner.
I didn’t know which team it was going to be, similar to the way I know the Powerball winner this coming week (60 million, people!) will have the winning numbers, but I don’t know what they are. However, I knew that the team that settled, didn’t waste their opportunities, and did more than just pressure their opponents was going to take the chocolates.
Weird opening, huh?
Oh, I get weirder.
You see, both teams are pressure teams. They love putting their opposition under the pump and hurting on the turnover, but when you have two teams that play a similar style, it is the team that manages to add another dimension to their game that walks away with the win. And in this game, that team was Richmond.
What was the secret ingredient? Was it akin to the secret seven herbs and pieces KFC uses (I reckon one of them is chicken salt)? How did the Tigers overcome the Dockers on the road?
Well, my friends, that’s what I am here to look at. Here are The Mongrel’s Talking Points.
Oh, what the hell? A Mongrel paywall? Yep, I believe my work is worth twenty cents per day. If you don’t, that’s fine. Don’t complain, though. Sometimes, I open these reviews up after 24 hours or so. Sometimes, I don’t. There is no favouritism… I just don’t.
