VFL Rd3 v Casey

[mightytiges]

Poor conversion & shocking umpiring keeping Casey in it...

Was that the one where Ballard was tripped and then got pinged for holding the ball?

[Diocletian]

....and the Morris deliberate rushed behind, several blatant head highs missed, obvious htb's not awarded....


...how good was that handball in traffic from Coleman-Jones on the near side wing....

[mightytiges]

Back to 15 pts 5 mins into the last.

93 - 78

[mightytiges]

1.8 since half-time.

We were away with a free on the wing for HTB but the ump then reversed it.

94 - 79

11 mins Q4

[mightytiges]

Bolton leaps on F50 and then tackles to win the free. His shot from 55 goes to the top of the square where it's rushed.

95 - 79

15 mins Q4

[mightytiges]

And another behind. That's 1.10 since half-time.

Moore gets it back for us from the kick-in 70 out. Goes to the top of the square and it falls into the lap of Coleman-Jones. Finally we kick straight. Goal 

Rich  14.18-102
Casey  12.7-79

17 mins Q4

[mightytiges]

Nice play off HB starting with Ballard. Stengle centres and Moore marks 20 out. Goes around the body instead of the drop punt but he kicks it anyway  .

Rich  15.18-108
Casey  12.7-79

19 mins Q4

[mightytiges]

Coleman-Jones kicks his 3rd  .

And that's the sealer.

Rich   16.18-114
Casey 12.7-79

23 mins Q4

[mightytiges]

Casey get on back but all too late.

114 - 85

25 mins Q4

[mightytiges]

Point to us.

115 - 85

28 mins Q4

[mightytiges]

CJ gets the free. To Soldo to Markov inside to Hayward. Goes long and Chol marks 35 out. Goal 

Rich  17.19-121
Casey 13.8-86

31 mins Q4

[mightytiges]

Coleman-Jones was running into an open goal for his 4th but siren sounded before he could get the kick away.

Final Score

Richmond   6.3    12.8     13.14    17.19-121
Casey         8.2      9.5     11.6       13.8-86

Goals: Coleman-Jones 3, Bolton 2, Baker 2, Chol 2, Grewar 2, C.Ellis, Stengle, Balta, Drummond, Moore, Aarts.

[mightytiges]

Dominated from midway through the first qtr to the end.

Only negs were the first 12 mins conceding the first 5 goals and then our poor conversion. Could have won by 10 goals plus had we kicked straight.

The biggest individual positive news was Coleman-Jones. Teamed with Soldo (good too) in the ruck and kicked 3 goals himself (almost had 4 if not for the final siren). Sheesh he's quick and mobile for a big bloke  .

[The Machine]

In the words of the commentator that was really really really good

[Diocletian]

The biggest individual positive news was Coleman-Jones. Teamed with Soldo (good too) in the ruck and kicked 3 goals himself (almost had 4 if not for the final siren). Sheesh he's quick and mobile for a big bloke  .

Completely the opposite to how he was described by certain "experts" on another board who essentially wrote him off after his first practice match....
