Parker collects the Pies quick defensive kick on the boundary and goes to the goalsquare where Cumberland marks and goals  .

That's 3.3 for the qtr to Noah and his 4th for the game.

Scores level!

69 all.

What a joke that wasn't paid HTB  .

[Francois Jackson]

if this game is an indication of how our game will be umpired its business as usual.

How that last play wasn't holding the ball is absolutely laughable.

3/4 time

Richmond        4.1    6.5    12.9-81
Collingwood     4.2    9.7    11.9-75

Goals: Cumberland 4, Ryan 2, Ralphsmith, Street, Hicks, McDonagh, Bartlett, Cook.


We'll obviously that quarter was the Noah Cumberland show  .
Eggy and McDonagh set things up off HB.
Street was able to nullify the Pies' rucks so we could win some clearances.
Caddy 27 disposals and Martyn 20 disposals (if only he could kick well he'd be a star) the best of our mids.
Ryan was better that qtr too.

The negative is the Pies have the strong breeze in the last and we're two down on the bench (lost two of our VFL-listed players to injury).

[one-eyed]

I've got to head off to the 'G.

If someone could take over and post score updates in the last qtr it would be much appreciated  .

[Willy]

We dominated the first 5 mins of the quarter but couldn't score.

Pies got one against the run of play to make it a 1 point margin to us.

Hugo just kicked a nice banana from the pocket to make it 7 points to us.

Martyn, Caddy and Hugo have been good this quarter.

MRJ's pressure has been good.

[Willy]

Cumberland just kicked his 5th!

[Willy]

Caddy is dominating.

Parker been pretty good this quarter.

[Tigeritis™©®]

Our pressure has been elite this last quarter pies have a three to four goal wins Martyn Samson and Caddy have been excellent  in the guts.

Al players have ramped up the pressure. Collingwood looked stuffed.

[Willy]

We are winning the 50/50 balls this quarter. Playing well.

Still plenty of time for the Pies with the breeze.

Pies player just ducked his head and got a free and nailed a set shot from 50.
