What was the 50m penalty for? Disgraceful decision.

Richmond lead the inside 50 count by seven this quarter, but has scored just one more goal than the Power.

Yep that was crap.
Umpiring was good until then as I've hardly noticed them

I would like to see is nail more tackles.

Can someone tell Menadue that coraling doesn’t work.

Ump reckoned Lynch was late.

[Tiger Khosh]

Win or loss this so much damn better!

Need to win the inside 50 count by a fair margin if we’re going to win as we look like we’ll cop a goal every time it goes in.
