Street knock on. Thompson does likewise however Aarts kicks it OOTF.

Ballard intercepts in defence. Markov to CCJ to Eggy to Harris all across the backline. Beasley to Street to Lambert. Goes short to RCD to CCJ. Kicks to HF and it's marked by Coburg.

We get it back. Mannagh to Weller to Coffield. Now Bolton to the pocket but it's OOTF.

Weller off holding his chest.

Goal to McEvoy .. Disappointing 

[one-eyed]

Fair bit of niggle going on. Something has stirred them up. Bolton gave a free away in the centre and then we give away 50 after a Coburg mark which gifts them a goal.

117 - 33

Another goal to Coburg.

Commentators: "Bolton clear best on ground. Well supported by Coleman-Jones, Weller, Markov, Townsend, etc. Their senior players all stood up today. All the 8 AFL-listed Richmond players (Bolton, Weller, Townsend, RCD, CCJ, Aarts, Eggy & Markov) would be pushing for votes."
