Houli out of the middle and Jack marks from 50. Just misses.

RCD looks classy.

[mightytiges]

4-2 up in the centre clearances this qtr. Two to Cotch.

[mightytiges]

Dusty long out of the middle. Nank couldn't reach it. Throw-in 35 out. Preuss grabs it and is tackled. HTB free to Weller. Misses.

42 - 50

[mightytiges]

That was HTB against McDonald but not paid .

Nank toe-poke is a point.

Balta marks the kick-in 60 out. Puts it up by Melbourne clear.

Melbourne finds Balta 3 times in a row but he keeps putting it up to a contest. Have a bomb with the breeze, Noah.

43 - 50

[Go Richo 12]

Much better work rate.

[mightytiges]

Markov deep in defence gets the free. Finds Rioli at HB. To Ross to Broad who goes to HF but Melbourne intercept.

Rebound goal to them against the run of play.

43 - 56

[pmac21]

Broad pathetic turnover kills momentum. Dee's goal.  43 to 56

[Rampsation]

Broad has been rubbish.

[mightytiges]

Prestia courageous at HB. Short possies finds Grimes. To HF. Scramble and Melbourne clear.

Grimes gets it back. Short now off to Broad who finds Butler 55 out. Goes towards Dusty in the pocket but it's spoiled for a throw-in. Point to us.

44 - 56

[pmac21]

Put money on C Oliver for the brownlow.

[Rampsation]

We really need Lynch so that Nankervis can get into the ruck. Like the look of Balta and Collier Dawkins.

[mightytiges]

Short inside 50. Balta can't mark. Scramble. Ball-up just outside 50. Dees clear.

Melbourne turnover at HB. Rioli marks deep but the ump pays an off the ball free to the Dees  .

We get it back via a OOTF kick. Higgins marks and half goes for goal. Balta can;t mark but clever second effort gets the goal at ground level .

Rich  7.8-50
Melb  9.2-56

[mightytiges]

Free to us as Melbourne only had 5 defenders. Prestia out of the middle hits up Jack. Floats across goal and Balta marks by the point post. Goal  .

Scores level.

Rich  8.8-56
Melb  9.2-56
