Quarter time

Richmond  3.2-20
Melbourne 3.1-19

Goals: Castagna, Chol, Graham.


Lucky we're playing the Dees. Started the game playing cute bruise free footy but we were able to get back control of that quarter in the last 10 minutes.

[Buddysucks]

Interesting start, need to do the hard physical work before we default to the typical tap and go stuff.

[Buddysucks]

Has Edwards hit a target yet either by hand or foot?

[mightytiges]

That was 15  .

Feels like we're going too fast at times before our forwards are ready.

Down field free to Jack 30 out. Misses.

We've butchered some shots so far  .

22 - 19

[mightytiges]

They make us pay for our misses.

22 - 25

Has Edwards hit a target yet either by hand or foot?

One of ones playing too fast. Teammates being set up.

[pmac21]

This type of footy really is annoying

[mightytiges]

That's a class kick by Lynch from there      .

Rich  4.4-28
Melb  4.1-25

[mightytiges]

We can't keep starting our attacks from defence. Need to start winning some centre clearances or at least not allow Melbourne to waltz out of the centre square so often.

[mightytiges]

Jack goes for the speckie but can't hold it. Dusty to Caddy who grubbers a goal  .

Rich  5.4-34
Melb  4.2-26

[mightytiges]

We're making the easy look hard tonight.

Lynch goal 

Rich  6.4-40
Melb  4.2-26

[georgies31]

Keeping them in game.

[mightytiges]

Back to dumb footy  .

Bolts should have pumped it deep forward yet handballs short to Rioli who's not ready for it. Turnover.

Broad doesn't bend down enough and the ball deflects off his leg OOTF.

We leave a Melbourne player all by himself 25m clear of anyone else in their forward line  .

40 - 32

[mightytiges]

Another to them.

40 - 38
