Half-time

Richmond    2.1-13
W.Bulldogs   5.0-30

Goals: Brennan, Stahl

Too much panicky footy and we completely lost our shape and structure as the quarter went along. Too many Tigers sucked into the honeypot and we played too narrowly. Didn't use the breeze at all.

Did I mention the umpiring has been pathetic?! 
Loose ball by the boundary which comes off hands and the ump pays it as a last possession against us and the Dogs get the kick.
Conti has a Bulldog's player land straight into her back in the tackle and she gets pinged.
Frederick cops front on contact and the ump pays the free to the Dogs gifting them their goal for that qtr.
Ump points the wrong way. Our players run forward gifting the Dogs the advantage of an open forward line for them.

W.Bulldogs   4.0   5.0    5.3-33

Goals:  Brennan 3, Stahl

Good quarter into the breeze. Lifted our workrate in the first 15 mins of that qtr. Conti broke her tag, Jacques won the footy on the inside and Brennan lead from the front kicking 2 that qtr. Last 5 mins though we got trapped in our D50 and panicked. Missed easy targets by hand and foot. Lucky the Doggies on kicked 3 points with the breeze.

We now have the breeze in the last. Need to use it this time and keep up the workrate.
