NAB Cup Challenge to Alice Springs vs Port

[RollsRoyce]

Actually, the worst thing about the live feed is, you get a few seconds of choppy action, then it just freeze frames for about 30 seconds at a time, and re-ignites with the ball 50 metres away.
Basically, I've given up trying to watch it and am following it here, so regular score updates appreciated

Siren. QT

Richmond    1.1-7
Port Adel.    3.3-21

Goals: Commentators on ABC saying Batchelor; HMH says Cotchin.

Best (ABC): Farmer, Nahas, Vickery ..... all "busy"

Inside 50s: 15 - 10........ so that's 15 times inside 50 for just 2 shots

They're bombing it into the forward 50 with no purpose.  Either that, or Vickery can't mark.

[mightytiges]

The good: Play through the midfield and centre clearances we're on top.

The bad: Forward line is non-existent
              Defensive pressure when the ball is rebounded out of our forward line. It's cost us two goals.
              Still getting "trapped" insdie our defensive 50 when trying to clear.

Basically we were on top in general play for most of that first quarter for no scoreboard reward. Port had a good couple of minutes aty the start and end and kicked 3 goals.

[mightytiges]

Crowd: 5000 (disappointing say commentators) but has grown in the last 25 mins.

[mightytiges]

Handball misses Edwards in the centre and Port clear to score a point.

7 - 22

[mightytiges]

Dumb Jacko. Ripped the ball from Chaplin who had taken the mark and gave away 50m at HB.

But we gain possession thanks to Cotch. Ends up with Rance up forward. Point!

8 - 22

[mightytiges]

4 handballs under pressure but ball ends up with Jacko on 50m. He misses.

The kick-in is intercepted by Kingy. Goal 

15 - 22

[mightytiges]

Free to Port at the bounce and then another free given away to their Westhoff.

15 - 28

[Coach]

The Coterie boys (Daniel and Lukey) have both given away stupid free kicks 

Schulz has just kicked one from 55

[mightytiges]

Schulz gets another for Port  

15 - 34

Their goals are coming too easily.

[Coach]

Goal to big Miller after a poo turnover from Port 

[mightytiges]

3 inside 50s for no return again  

Edwards free and it should have been a mark but neither of two Tigers could take it as they spoil each other.

Jacko kicks a point.

Port mistake on wing ends up with Taylor over the top to Miller for a goal.

22 - 34

[Coach]

Goal to Houli
