Richmond vs Carlton @ the MCG - Round 14, 2017

[Lozza]

Message to Dusty....be selfish occasionally, for God's sake, had the opportunity to finish them off and goes for a lottery short pass

[mightytiges]

Let off there. Gibbs overkicked it and we've rebounded coast to coast to Butler for a goal  .

12 point play.

Rich 74
Carl  51

[mightytiges]

Another goal to them from us coughing up the ball (Caddy this time).

74 - 57

We will lose this

Blues know they're in it, you can see it in the body language

[Lozza]

This is where the mental demons come in, do we save the game or keep attacking. I think we tighten up and play safe hence why we get overrun.

[mightytiges]

Menadue has been good today with these runs. Finds Jack on the lead 45m out. Doesn't make the distance.

We get it back but from a tight angle Caddy misses.

75 - 58

[mightytiges]

LOL. Ump pulls out hands in the back while taking a speckie. Technically there but there hasn't been one paid all year  .

[mightytiges]

We get it back and Jack is paid the mark by the boundary. Misses.

76 - 58

3:37 to go.

[mightytiges]

We get it back via a free to Lloyd. Inside 50. Prestia gathers but bananas it OOTF when it was easier to kick to goal  .

77 - 58

[mightytiges]

I don't think even we could lose it from here. 1:30 to go.

[mightytiges]

Game saving mark by Astbury. Gets 50 after Levi drags him to the ground. He gets it to Dusty who goes long and Nanks gets the free. That's the sealer! 

Rich  83
Carl  58

[mightytiges]

Yeah! We win by 26 pts  .

Not at all pretty and still the same dumb mistakes and crap goalkicking but we'll take it.

[Willy]

We didn't play super well but we did enough against a pretty competitive team. I'm happy.

[Lozza]

18:11 and it's a very comfortable percentage boosting win. A very long way from being clinical in front of goal, really need to work hard to overcome the jitters.
