VFL QF: Richmond vs Williamstown @ Punt Rd, Sat. Sept 1 [Live on Ch 7]

[mightytiges]

Probably harsh on the 23rd man (Thompson) whose probably a kid but he should have at least made the distance from 35m out at this level. It's cost us at least a goal (or two). The second one was directly in front on the run but it went up, under and sideways to the pocket .

Willy is dominating.

Players unsighted for us.
Coleman Jones.
Moore.
Miller.
Butler (besides his first goal)
Miles has been down on his normal output.
Silverstro is supposed to be on gibbons but that guy keeps on getting he ball.
Ballard has been quiet.
Because our tall forwards are playing crap our smalls haven’t had much of a sniff.


Balta has been excellent. Looks the only one that is trying hard.
Soldo is ok but his taps aren’t really effective. Hasn’t done much around the The ground.

Markov looks good. Morris has been solid. C Ellis has been ok. Stengle has been good with limited opportunities. Aarts ok.

As a team we aren’t tackling. Willy look the team to beat as they are ferocious at the man and the contest.

I don’t think we will win this.

[Lebowski]

This mob just seem to have our measure, they defend with numbers then break really hard. It also seems they are always in the right place after a spoil or quick kick over the shoulder, luck or good positioning I don’t know but it’s peeing me awff

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

Agree with the above.

They’re like North - they never play as well against anyone else as they do us.

Shame, I thought a resounding win here might set the whole club up for the finals run.

[mightytiges]

Butler has had 3 possies. Not sure of his minutes on the ground as we would be managing him. Tom Browne saying Butler is moving well and is a chance to play on Thursday night.

[mightytiges]

Coffield gone for the night injured. With Butler on limited time we're now down a number or two on the bench.

Miles slammed in a dangerous tackle. Willy player reported.

Being hampered with no big key forward. Ballard at FF tonight.

[mightytiges]

First goal of the 3rd quarter to Willy.

35 - 48

5 of the last 6 goals to them.


Sums up our night so far. We had about 5 chances to go forward but can't get a possession past HF. Willy then hit us on the rebound.

[WilliamPowell]

So many Looking totally disinterested

Tempted to go early and say give me the stuff, we're done

[mightytiges]

Woeful. Fumbling and running over the ball gifts them another goal.

35 - 54

There’s no way I can see us winning this game.

[Francois Jackson]

It’s all over

Hopefully it’s not a sign of things to come

[georgies31]

Butler needs minutes in his legs not worried about goals or possessions.

[WilliamPowell]

Seriously that goal

The lack of effort by Menadue was disgraceful. Just stood and watched

No system. Our HBs look up and stop.


ps. We're terrible but these umps are having a mare also. Apparently you can just push a forward going for the mark without looking at the ball  . Umps then give Willy 50  .
