Richmond V's Geelong

[mightytiges]

End to end footy. Jacko went long to half-forward to nobody (TV didn't read the kick) and Geelong rebound.

Newy gets it bakc in defence but too slow and caught (turnover) but the Cats only kick a point.

Poor kick by Geelong bounces badly so Newy gets the turnover and we're running forward. Kingy selfish play goes for a ping when he had teammates open. Point.


I.Maric gets it back off to Edwards who goes inside 50 and Jack takes a specckieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee  . Goal

Dumb kick in defence by us gifts Geelong a shot a goal but Pods tries to pass it off and none of his teammates were ready for it. Lucky there.

Maric giving West a bath in the ruck.

Dusty long to the 50. TV gets it but is tackled. Ball-up 40m out. Dusty out of the traffic goal

Dusty of out centre (killing them in the centre clearances) but we give away a free and then a dumb 50 by Kingy giving lip to the ump  .

Dusty all class breaking 3 tackles to Axel in the centre to Miller who takes two bounces over to Kingy for another goal

[Coach]

great work from maric. best decision is always to ignore giving the hands to Jackson

[Coach]

King didnt give any lip he went too far around on the mark

Our mids have come on beautifully its up to how our defense will hold up when under pressure.
Our tackling and attack on the contest has improved significantly.

[mightytiges]

Houli clears to grigg to Cotch but smothered. Pods gives away a free and gives away a free. Good play by Rance. To Batchelor long insdei 50. Mini Maric to Newy on 50. To the goal-line but we should've shepharded it. Point.

Dusty intercepts the Geelong kick out of defence. Misses.

Good mark in defence by TV. Find Newy who slows it down. Siren.

It's that pressure that we are exerting.
Been missing for the most part in the last 30 years.
I know Scarlett may be rusty but he usually is very difficult to tackle and disposess.
