GOAL! Riooollllli! Daniel flew high and dragged down a ripper! And in true Rioli fashion, nursed home his first.

GOAL! Tom Silvestro is the final link the ⛓ and the boy from @UniBluesFC thumps it into the Sherrin Stand.

We intercept a Pie handpass in the middle and it gets to Rioli who takes a mark above his head 30 out. Misses.

Garthwaite having a field day in the backline.

Rioli moving like his old self which is good to see. Manic second and third efforts to apply pressure.

Silvestro kicks it into an empty F50. The Collingwood defender fumbled the ball. Aarts forces the turnover, extracted it to Towner who allows CJ to run into an open goal 

Rich  10.10-70
Coll    5.8-38

[one-eyed]

Baker marks on D50 and gets 50. Goes long inside F50. Miles receives the free on the siren for a downfield free after Silvestro is pushed after his pass. Goal! 

Dominant quarter. Just like the seniors we out-pressured the Pies.
