Richmond vs St Kilda @ Marvel Stadium - Round 15, 2019

Thanks ump for that momentum breaking gift of a goal to St Kilda . Saint player ducks his head and the ump gifts him a free when we were out on the break  .

Umps just inventing stuff the last 5 minutes.

This game shows how far we’ve fallen back into our old pre ‘17 habits.

Without the manic physical pressure and intimidation we’ve come accustomed to we really aren’t that good.

[Damo]

The around the corner kick with no angle 15 metres out it is a joke

[Buddysucks]

Extremely unskilled and dumb. Umps aren’t much better at the moment.

[mightytiges]

Stack is a stuff. First time playing forward at AFL level and kicks 4 goals.

Looks like that's the sealer. Out to 33 pts.

Take the win but it shouldn't take a final quarter blitz to beat this St Kilda side.

Edit: Back to 27 after that terrible defending  .

[Buddysucks]

Classic Bachar... honestly, was that adult level football. The skill error is terrible but the thought process to create the error is what baffles me.

Stack & Chol both excellent.  Bachar needs another rest possibly. 
Will take that after a bye and Marvel. 
Umpiring not great, thought we were on the wrong end of a few. 
Saints after half time played into our hands just so slow.  Pretty dumb footy when game is even.

Dusty awarded B.O.G.

What was Jackstar saying about Chol

Good win even though we have a long way to go.

Houli trying his best the whole game to get st kilda over the line 

[torch]

Got the win with no injuries ... tick ...
