Snap by Naish in the pocket out of traffic.

Bolton walking along the boundary with strapping on his thigh. Commentators saying it perhaps is a corky(?).

[mightytiges]

Rioli sells some candy on the wing but he can't find Miles. Throw-in 40 out. Sandy clear.

We get it back. B.Ellis towards Miles who claims the mark but it's called a half-volley. Ball-up. Sandy clear again.

We get it back at HB. Menadue to Markov but his kick is poor. Sandy clear.

They go forward and score a point.

Should have been a HTB free to Chol.

[mightytiges]

Sloppy disposal going forward. Ball bouncing between HB lines.

Markov looping handball to Menadue back to Markov who runs on. Off to Tanner. It gets to Stengle in the pocket. Misses.

Point to them.

Soldo flicks it out to Miles. Goes long and finds Moore in the pocket. Another tight angle set shot. Misses.

4 on 1 and we still allowed a snap by their forward. Thankfully misses.

Half-time

Richmond       3.3    4.7-31
Sandringham  2.1    3.6-24

Goals: Bolton, Stengle, Baker, Wood.

[mightytiges]

A battle of HB lines. The side that cleans up their forward entries and takes their chances in front of the sticks will win.

Bolton with an ice pack on the front of his thigh (quad). They (Casey Radio) are saying it's a corky but apparently he is done for the day (?).

[mightytiges]

Balta not playing today.

Rioli on limited game time but showing his class the few times he's gone near the pill. Once he gets back to peak match fitness and is able to play a full game without any issues with his foot, he'll be quickly back into the seniors.

3rd qtr has now started.

GOAL! Maaaabbbbiiooor! Chol soars high, marks strongly and kicks truly  .

Rich  5.7-37
Sandy 3.6-24

[mightytiges]

Silvestro attempts a shot from 52 out but it falls short.

In our forward line but after are a scramble it's rushed.

B.Ellis intercepts at HB. Across to Morris. To Wood who goes into the forward pocket to Stengle who takes the mark. Chips to Moore 35 out. Clever one handed mark. Goal
