I've got to head out for a little while.
If someone could take over and post update scores here for the last quarter it'll be much appreciated :).

It appears they got the first goal of the final quarter. 65 - 51

Lennon kicked his third, and weve kicked a point. Back to 7 points, 65 - 58.

Woo! Lloyd and Bolton have both kicked goals. We're up, 70 to 65! :gotigers

Aaron Black just goaled for them. 71 - 70.

27 mins gone now, they're still up by 7 points.
-
Ordinary performance by the 2s today. Should have won in the end but lack a lot of polish
-
They ended up winning by 7 points. Bolton goaled late to bring it back to 1 point again and then they kicked one on the siren to make it 7 points. :(
-
Disappointing. I always feel a win in the two's sets up the ones for a good performance. Think we should have won this one as well.

Thanks for the VFL updates, Dougey :cheers.

VFL Tigers upset by Cats
richmondfc.com.au
12 August 2017
The VFL Tigers came off second best in a thrilling contest on Saturday afternoon, going down by seven points to Geelong VFL at Kardinia Park.
After the Cats dominated the opening quarter, the Tigers fought back over the second and third to go within touching distance of the hosts, before taking the lead midway through the final term.
However, a quick succession of Geelong goals saw the Cats hold a narrow one-point lead in the dying stages, before a set-shot on the siren extended the margin.
Jacob Townsend (25 disposals) and Jack Graham (22) were standout performers in an ever-working midfield, while Ben Lennon led from the front with three goals.
Returning ruckman Shaun Hampson played the opening half of the game, and performed strongly with 28 first half hitouts and two marks.
VFL Development Coach Ryan Ferguson said the narrow loss would give the VFL Tigers renewed vigour for the final two matches of the home-and-away season.
“It’s always tough coming down the highway to play the Cats on their own turf,” he said.
“The boys weren’t too happy with how they started the game.
“So next week they’ll really be looking to come out and perform strongly."
The home side got off to a flying start in the opening term, booting four goals to the Tigers’ one to establish a firm lead in the contest.
The Cats were working overtime to limit the Tigers’ opportunity to accumulate contested ball, a hallmark of their success over the course of the season.
Jacob Ballard fought valiantly in the engine room with Graham and Townsend to even up the contest, however Lennon’s first goal would prove to be the only reward they would get from a closely fought quarter.
The second stanza proved to be a closer affair on the scoreboard, with the Tigers reducing the deficit by half with some gritty, direct football.
Despite Geelong ruckman Wylie Buzza goaling early in the term, Callum Moore, Sam Lloyd and Lennon stemmed the flow with consecutive goals, before Sam Dobson reduced the deficit yet again for the hosts.
Hampson was rotating ruck duties with Ivan Maric to terrific effect, and the VFL Tigers began limiting Geelong’s dominance in clearances, a factor that was vital in their opening quarter blitz.
Brandon Wood and Thomas Silvestro began leading the way with hard running across the ground, with Oleg Markov also providing plenty of pace and excitement off half-back.
With only 13 points separating the sides at the main break, it was anyone’s game, and this was reflected in the frenetic and intense way in which both sides attacked the ball at each contest.
Aaron Black wasted no time in opening the Cat’s third-quarter account with a goal in under 50 seconds, however, two quick-fire goals to 23rd man Shaun Mannagh had the Tigers hot on the Cat’s trail.
Tyson Stengle, who had been kept quiet for the majority of the match, then fed off Graham’s clever handball to kick his first in an empty goal square, reducing the margin to a mere eight points at the final stop.
With the final stanza set to be a thriller, the contest that followed did not disappoint, however, the VFL Tigers were unable to breach a stingy Cats defence in an enthralling final few minutes.
Geelong’s Jamaine Jones kicked truly on the run to briefly extend the lead, before Lennon’s third and Lloyd’s second kept a desperate Tigers outfit in touching distance.
Their persistence was rewarded halfway through the quarter, when a weaving Shai Bolton booted his first major, giving the Tigers their first lead for the day.
However, a Sam McLachlan goal to the Cats saw the lead extended again after Todd Elton narrowly missed an effort.
Despite another late Bolton goal, the Cats managed to hold on until the final siren, and put the icing on their narrow victory with a goal to Ben Maloney.
Jayden Short finished well with 21 disposals including 17 kicks, while Ivan Maric continued to perform in Hampson’s absence, recording 14 disposals, four clearances and 25 hitouts.
With a top four spot still well and truly in the equation, the VFL Tigers host Sandringham at the Swinburne Centre next week in their second-last game of the regular season.
Geelong 12.12.84 d Richmond 11.11.77
Goals:
Geelong: 3 Black, 2 Buzza, 1 Atkins, Capiron, Dobson, Jones, McLachlan, Moloney, Webb.
Richmond: 3 Lennon, 2 Bolton, Lloyd, Mannagh, 1 Moore, Stengle.

Development and VFL Backline coach, Ryan Ferguson's summary of the players from Saturday’s Round 17 VFL match against Geelong.
AFL LISTED PLAYERS
Jacob Townsend
25 disposals, eight clearances, three marks, two tackles.
Battled hard all day and won some good clearances for us.
Jack Graham
22 disposals, nine tackles, six clearances, three marks.
Our leading tackler for the day, he also gave us some good grunt work inside.
Oleg Markov
21 disposals, three marks, three rebound-50s, one tackle.
Gave us some real dash off the half-back line.
Jayden Short
21 disposals, five tackles, five inside-50s, three clearances.
Playing some really consistent footy at the moment, and gave us some good ball use off half-back as well.
Taylor Hunt
17 disposals, two inside-50s, one mark, one tackle.
Plugged some holes for us well by playing in the midfield and in defence.
Sam Lloyd
17 disposals, three marks, two tackles, two goals.
Kicked two very good goals and looked dangerous all day.
Connor Menadue
17 disposals, four clearances, four rebound-50s, three tackles.
Showed some great dash off the wing, two particular runs he made in important parts of the game come to mind.
Ivan Maric
14 disposals, 25 hitouts, four clearances, two tackles.
Tireless in the ruck as always.
Todd Elton
13 disposals, 10 contested possessions, four marks, one tackle.
It was good to see Todd fly for a few big marks, he continues to compete well in that area.
Ben Lennon
13 disposals, three marks, three tackles, three goals.
Dangerous as always. Kicked three on a blustery day, which was handy.
Tyson Stengle
13 disposals, five tackles, one mark, one goal.
Wasn’t quite able to break free. Looked like he was about to on a few occasions, but the Cats were putting a fair bit of time into him. He’ll learn to deal with that.
Mabior Chol
Nine disposals, four marks, three rebound-50s, two tackles.
Had a big battle with a couple of their talls, Wylie Buzza in particular. Showed some real fight all day.
Shai Bolton
Eight disposals, four tackles, one mark, two goals.
Was able to break free in the final quarter and kick a few goals, but didn’t have the influence he normally does.
Callum Moore
Eight disposals, five marks, one tackle, one goal.
It was a tough day for tall forwards, and Cal didn’t get as much traction in the game as he would have liked. Still managed to kick a nice goal around his body.
Ryan Garthwaite
Four disposals, three spoils, two rebound-50s, one tackle.
Had a good battle with Aaron Black. Showed real fight in the first quarter when we were up against it, and won some critical contests for us.
Jake Batchelor
Three disposals, two marks, two tackles, one spoil.
Gave us some structure when he moved to defence, wasn’t quite able to impact the game as a forward.
Shaun Hampson
Three disposals, 28 hitouts, two marks. (Limited game time – came off after the first half)
It was good to see Hammer get his first run around this year. Hopefully he’ll get a lot out of it.
