Riley Collier-Dawkins with his first goal in the yellow & black! The budding midfielder was cool and calm in traffic and snapped truly. 

Aarts misses on his right. No left foot.

We get it back on the switch. Mannagh inside 50 finds Townsend 30 out.

Hack kick out of defence by Coburg but we can only get a rushed point.

We're bombarding our F50 but many of them are sloppy.

Rich 2.2-14
Cob  0.0-0

[one-eyed]

Bolton "shakes and bakes" around two. Off to Aarts who runs his full measure and drives it long and low but hooks it for another point.

We get it back and Ballard marks/free in the pocket. Across the face and OOTF.

15 - 0

[one-eyed]

Commentators: "Richmond could easily have 5 goals by now"

Coburg turnover. Thompson kicks it to two Tigers who trip each other over  .

Hayward to Coffield 80 out. Floats it to 50. Coburg get first hands but turn it over. It gets to Lambert who finds Street at the top of the square. Set shot. Goal! 

Rich  3.3-21
Cob   0.0-0

Inside 50s: 15 - 5

[one-eyed]

Towner 55 out. Kicks to the top of the square but Ballard gives away the free.

Coburg switch across HB and straight to Towner 60 out. Finds Haysman just 15. Goes to Grewar who out-positions his direct opponent. Misses.

We get it back again from another Coburg turnover. Ballard lowers the shoulder and cops it high. Goal! 

Rich  4.4-28
Cob   0.0-0

[one-eyed]

Markov deep in defence but Mannagh kicks it OOTF.

Coburg turnover. RCD long. Coburg defenders collide. Ballard to Grewar who sprays it.

Quarter time

Richmond  4.4-28
Coburg      0.0-0

Goals: Collier-Dawkins, Townsend, Street, Ballard.

We should be 8 goals up. Coburg keep giftinf us possession but we've wasted the ball inside F50 for all the chances we've had.

[one-eyed]

Commentators saying all our forwards are queuing up trying to get a goal and that's why we're wasting it. We're getting so many chances because Coburg keep turning it over on the way out.

74 - 41 kicks
44 - 40 hballs
36 - 9  marks
16 - 10 tackles
8 - 6 hitouts
17 - 6 In50
6 - 12 Re50 ... only because the ball has spent so much time in our F50.

Aarts 9 disposals

[one-eyed]

Silvestro inside 50. Coburg drop marks. Fumble by Thompson. Ball-up. Tap down by CCJ. Mannagh to Bolton who kicks it to start the 2nd qtr  .
