Tigers have controlled this third term, ball has rarely left their forward half.

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

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

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

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

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

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

Aaron Black just goaled for them. 71 - 70.

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

They just kicked one late in the quarter, 78-71.

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

27 mins gone now, they're still up by 7 points.

[pmac21]

Ordinary performance by the 2s today.  Should have won in the end but lack a lot of polish

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

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.

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

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  .
