Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.031 - 1.154 Garry Lyon

I didn't get to this yesterday.

Chapter 2: What are Garry's observations about Richmond's young players?

1.174 - 24.722 Garry Lyon

So Richmond, we know where Richmond are at, but we've given them a very easy pass, right? So we will, as footy lovers, we will support what they're doing if the young players that are playing, it can't necessarily give them victories at the moment, continue to improve and develop. There's a bit of stagnation there with a few of the young Richmond players. They've got some injuries too.

25.122 - 44.729 Garry Lyon

No, no, all of that. And I can see- Acknowledge that though. But say Luke Traynor, for instance, on the weekend gave away four dumb free kicks. That's not developing. That's not learning. That's not understanding when I go and when I don't go. So they're the measurements that are going to get Richmond under some sort of pressure in the next five to six weeks. It's not about the wins.

45.03 - 46.592 Tim Watson

They'd be coaching them hard though, wouldn't they?

0

46.572 - 60.593 Garry Lyon

Now, of course they would, but then you can coach them hard, but this is the third year for some of these kids. They've got to be learning, Tim. They've got to show signs that they are learning, and there's a couple that are slow learners. This grey area on the out-of-bounds is easily fixed.

60.613 - 82.223 Garry Lyon

If you can't decide who it came off in the space of two seconds or three seconds, throw the damn thing in, right? Yep. Done. Done. And that handballing into the shin, which was a very smart play by Alex Neil Bullen, out. Out. That's no good. That's a throw-in as well. Otherwise, you're going to spend your whole life looking at blokes and who handled it. That's the end of that.

82.364 - 84.766 Tim Watson

Yep. Keep going. I like them.

84.786 - 99.183 Garry Lyon

Three 0-2 wins in the final quarter against Adelaide and Collingwood. They had to kick two goals in the last five to ten minutes to win those games. Might be the defining moment of their season and ensure that they play and finish in the top four.

99.543 - 103.808 Tim Watson

Yep. They can play in different modes. They're proving that, which is a great thing for their development. Yes.

103.928 - 123.549 Garry Lyon

Clubs that went to work on Melbourne and a couple of their defenders that haven't quite got the agility to turn around and run back the goal as quickly as they would like. Name them. Well, Lever and McDonald particularly. So Caddy just flipped them around a couple of times heading back the goal. That's going to be something that they're going to have to attend to. Turner is a very good defender.

Chapter 3: How does Garry assess the coaching strategies at Richmond?

127.954 - 128.014 Tim Watson

No.

0

128.213 - 146.958 Garry Lyon

No, no, but they're an important part of the back six right now. Okay. And they'd like to see the game in front of them. What else you got? They got a fifth? Geez, you're hurrying me up. Come on. Fourth and fifth. If you set Mitch Owens to play on Aaliyah Aaliyah, and he did a good job. So Aaliyah Aaliyah is an intercept monster. The week before it took I don't know how many marks.

147.819 - 165.736 Garry Lyon

And you look up and there's only the two of them there, and you've got to go, okay, I know Mitch is going to compete. Kick the ball to the ground. Don't kick it in the air if that's your only option. Players look up and they go, oh, no, I'll kick it there anyway. Kick the damn thing on the ground, off to the left of the two.

0

166.177 - 179.736 Garry Lyon

Because in the end you go, where do you want Owens competing against Aaliyah Aaliyah? Do you want it high in the air on their heads or do you want it at ground level? The obvious answer is at ground level, yet we still see plonkers, dummies, kick it on the head of the two of them.
