Goal to the Pies.

42 - 58

[mightytiges]

The ball is now carrying further to the end the Pies are kicking.

[mightytiges]

Into the breeze can our forwards play in front.

[mightytiges]

Dow some nice early touches.

[mightytiges]

Board to Ross long to HF but Caddy can't mark playing from behind.

Another 50 to the Pies  . Gifts them a goal.

42 - 64

[mightytiges]

Game over. The stronger breeze making this easy for the Pies.

42 - 70

[mightytiges]

We've put the cue in the rack.

Pies now pinging them from outside 50 with the breeze.

42 - 76

I know it's only pre season but our game style going forward has been disgraceful. 
Scoreboard now reflects how bad we've been. 

[mightytiges]

Stack from HB to Soldo off to Pickett long inside 50 and Aarts outbodies his opponent and marks. Hits the post.

43 - 76

6 straight missed shots for us.

[mightytiges]

Aarts to George but again our kick inside 50 can't find a Tiger and lands with the Pies.

Sums up our day.

[pmac21]

10 more free kicks.  Umpires obviously in pre season also.  Probably what we have to look forward too.

Our younger second string midfield and second string forward line have been outplayed today. The game has meant more to the Pies than us aside from the 3rd qtr. Our intensity for the other three quarters has been a like a Sunday preseason game.

It's Collingwood. You are always playing against 25.

[mightytiges]

Dow to Aarts to Caddy. Chips back to Dow who ran on.

Kick after the siren. Hits the post. That's 3 posters to us today and 7 straight behinds since midway through the 3rd qtr  .


Final Score

Richmond    1.0    4.0    6.5     6.8-44
Coll'wood    5.1     8.1    8.4   13.6-84

Aside from getting some gametime run into our legs ............ Meh!

[Hard Roar Tiger]

I presume no injuries as opposed to the pies
