Sam Lloyd you disgrace 

[mightytiges]

Did we forget how to play at half-time? 

[mightytiges]

Pinball footy by both sides but it ends up with Jack (Riewoldt) who kicks a steadier.

Rich  6.8-44
Melb  4.8-32

[mightytiges]

Good tackle Higgins. Wins the free and set shot 25m out. Misses  .

45 - 32

[WilliamPowell]

Dumb footy

Really dumb

[mightytiges]

After bombarding our F50 and not scoring, we let them out too easily and they goal  .

45 - 38

We get the centre clearance and Prestia gets the goal back  .

Rich  7.9-51
Melb  5.8-38

[mightytiges]

I know it's greasy but too many crucial fumbles this qtr.

[mightytiges]

Georgie didn't turn around when Jack was open. He kicks it to Jack anyway. Scramble and it gets to Lloyd in the goalsquare for goal 

Rich  8.9-57
Melb  5.8-38

Q3. 1 min to go.

[mightytiges]

Nank could/should have marked that.

Get the first couple and kill them off.

Can't believe the Dees are still in it.

3/4 time

Richmond   2.2    5.8    8.9-57
Melbourne  1.5     2.6    5.8-38

Goals: Higgins 3, Lloyd 2, Riewoldt, Castagna, Prestia.


A quarter of two halves. Melbourne won the contested footy and dominated inside 50s in the first 10-15 mins and got it back to six points before we woke up and restored the 3 goal lead. Once again had chances in the last 10 mins to be further ahead but stuffed up many of them  . Pinball error-ridden play-on footy.

Poor by Sheds there. Can't hesistate. Just needed to bomb it as long as he could when under pressure deep in defence.

57 - 44
