VFL Elimination Final: Richmond vs Collingwood @ North Port Oval - Sat. Sept. 2

Poor defending. I know Cox is tall but one of our talls should have got a spoil to that kick.

Teach us for the last 10 mins being sloppy.

38 - 8

[mightytiges]

Got too cocky with a six goal lead and now the momentum has switched  .

[mightytiges]

That last play sums up our last 15 mins. Had the break and got to the F50. Menadue should have just ran in and taken the shot but instead stops and dodges trying waiting for a teammate to appear from somewhere and gets himself into trouble and coughs up the kick straight to 3 Pies defenders.

I would have only Ellis as being worthy of a seniors spot. Class above today.

Lloyd's had a lot of it but he's shanked most his kicks.

Chol has been solid in the air in defence.

Griff has taken a couple of good marks and kicked a goal but hasn't had much of it to alter our small forward set-up in the seniors.

3rd qtr underway.

First goal to the Pies. They get another shot but thankfully miss. Back to 22 pts.

Rich  5.8-38
Coll   2.4-16

3 mins Q3

[mightytiges]

Bolton get the turnover in our F50. Dodges and turns and snaps a badly needed goal  .

Rich  44
Coll   16

[mightytiges]

Lloyd misses another sitter on the snap 

45 - 16

[mightytiges]

Another free to Collingwood  . They get a goal from the play from it.

45 - 22

[mightytiges]

Dumb dumb footy. Too many numbers forward and we get hurt out of the back on the rebound.

45 - 28

We're gone

Umps wearing B&W today. Pins us for a garbage HTB (Cox got his hand in there) and then the ump gifts them a 70m penalty (centre to 30m out) and goal.

45 - 34

Within 30 seconds of me switching on, they get 2 goals.

The universe always has to make sure I get punished for barracling for Richmond

What a surprise get butt stuffed by the fing umpires

Ironic considering their choice of colour is a disgrace. A citrus yellow when we're wearing the same colour???
