Jake Batchelor playing for Sandy misses.

But they get another go and kick a goal.

39 - 17

12 min Q2


Game has totally reversed. We now can't get it out of defence into this breeze.

17-39.  We cannot get it out of defence.  Scores will be close at half time

[one-eyed]

Slog fest. We finally get it forward via soccer and even a drop kick by Weller. Menadue has a ping but it falls short and is rushed. That's the first score at the end.

40 - 17

15 min Q2

Naish back on. So he is okay.

Menadue finds Ballard but we're denied by a defensive tackle and subsequent free.

Silvestro gets it to HF and it's scrambled for a throw-in. Butler to Higgins over the top to Baker who hands to Grewar for a goal against the strong breeze  .

Rich     7.4-46
Sandy  2.5-17

Pouring down again.

Goal to them.

Naish & Egg poor in defence.  Goal.  46-23

[one-eyed]

Naish hands to Butler who finds Menadue who goes inside 50. But it's a free to Sandy and they clear.

Higgins off to Menadue who puts it out into space but it's another free to Sandy for a hold.

Nelson gets it forward and keeps going to get a toe poke to Aarts but he is tackled and Sandy clear.

Eggy to Towner who goes inside 50 but to nobody.

Beasley switch to Silvestro hands to Eggy as the siren sounds.


Half-time

Richmond       6.3   7.4-46
Sandringham  0.0   3.5-23

Goals: Townsend 3, Higgins 2, Butler, Grewar.

Reports: Townsend (high fend off)

[one-eyed]

Not pretty but we did well to keep them to just 3 goals with the breeze while pinching one against.

Sandy gets one against the breeze. Although the weather has cleared up a bit and the breeze is not as strong (but still there).

Weller inside 50 towards Ballard but it's a free to Sandy.

"What the hell was that for?" heard in the effects mic lol.

Poor defending allows a mark and goal to Sandy.
