VFL R10: Richmond vs Williamstown @ Burbank Oval, Sun. June 10 [Live on Ch 7]

[mightytiges]

Goal to Willy.

19 - 8

[mightytiges]

Another to them. Pretty loose defending on transition by us. Started with a poor overcooked kick inside our F50 that split to Tiger forwards and found the Willy defender.

19 - 14

[mightytiges]

Another poor overcooked kick by Ballard. Willy clear but we get it back via Stengle. Goes long to the pocket but's spoiled in the pack for a throw-in 20 out.

Willy clear and we lose a 2-v-1 on the wing (CJ too easily pushed aside). Willy go forward and Bolton is pinged for HTB. Goal to them.

19 - 20

[mightytiges]

Not good signs. Willy working harder in the midfield and first in in the contest and winning the clearances. All Willy the last 10 mins.

19 - 21

[Assange Tiger 😎]

Need to lift for sure. They're definitely hungry & working a lot harder

[mightytiges]

Centre Clearances: 2-4

Contested footy: 27 - 37

Bathie has a running shot along the boundary but misses everything.

[Assange Tiger 😎]

Fantastic by the little men

[Assange Tiger 😎]

Disgusting approach by Stengle there

[mightytiges]

Blind handball in the corridor only 20 out from their goal by Bathie straight to a Willy forward but lucky they miss.

3 speedsters work together. Rioli keeps the ball in front of him and the chasing Willy defenders along the wing. Gets it to Bolton who hits up Stengle on the lead 25 out. Misses the set shot though.

That's the siren.

Quarter time

Richmond       3.2-20
Williamstown  3.4-22

Goals: Bolton, Stengle, Townsend.

[mightytiges]

No one yet putting their hand up for senior selection. Garthwaite would come in for Astbury if he's ankle is still

So far a repeat of the seniors with out mids getting beaten badly in the contested footy and clearances especially in the last 15 mins of that first qtr.

Disposals:   61 - 93
Contested:  31 - 43
Uncontested: 31 - 48
Clearances: 6 - 15
Inside 50s:  13 - 11

Dimma talking to Rioli at 1/4 time.

Lloyd with just 3 possies.

CJ is acquitting himself very well early. 11 hit-outs - 7 to advantage.

Good hands by Mannagh to Ballard in the centre. Goes long to no one but a handy stalling bounce allows Stengle to tackle the Willy defender. Rioli to Townsend for a goal 

Rich  4.2-26
Will   3.4-22

[mightytiges]

We go immediately forward. Ball-up 15 out. Rioli snaps but just misses.

27 - 22

[dwaino]

Haven’t seen him get much footy but Balta has some real toe for a big guy. Balta, Garthwaite and CJ probably some of the more encouraging developing talls we’ve had in a while.

[mightytiges]

Mannagh's kick out of D50 went straight to an opponent. Then Coffield kicks it OOTF. Fortunately they miss.

27 - 23


Lloyd looking proppy. Left ankle and he's gone off.

[mightytiges]

Benny Hill stuff by both sides under pressure in the last few minutes.

From the throw-in. Bolton out of the ruck and almost kicks one of the goals of the year. Goal umpire says it was touched before the whole ball crossed the line. Not obvious it was touched before it crossed.

28 - 23
