Richmond ressies/VFL side [merged]

[Tiger Tragic]

Southport?

Interesting isnt it.
They are one of the richest clubs in the country (including AFL clubs), but surprising have a QLD team in the comp.

Also, is 4 byes enough ? LOL

AFL were stupid and idiotic not getting Southport involved as the Gold Coast team as they were already a well established team.

Apparently the AFL thought the fans of the other QAFL clubs on the Gold Coast wouldn't get behind a Southport AFL team. So they went for a new team for the whole region instead after North said no to relocating.

Interesting that the NRL have gone the other way with the Redclffe Dolphins joining the NRL next year.  Most QLD state cup supporters wouldn't dream about supporting the Dolphins so will be interesting to see how they go compared to, say, the GC Suns

Both teams are searching for a way to score, conditions are still very wet under foot.

Whilst we'd like a goal, so would they. Still a close contest here in the first.

Their fwds started taking some marks
Our mids dropped off - but RCD more involved that qtr.
Despite score, some good ball movement from our guys. Frees (mostly there) killing us. Mansell ok that qtr too.
