Good pressure by Maurice with a tackle and then a smother but no support from his teammates and Frankston get a goal.

RCD & Martyn our best ballwinners.

If Will was a good kick he'd be a star.

We've luckily got away with two really poor basic skill errors so far this quarter. Lazy handball by Ryan 20 out in defence and then that handpass to Biggie's feet at HB .

Play stopped with a Frankston player down.

[one-eyed]

Aside from Maurice who is working hard to create, the skill level has been awful so far this qtr . RCD with back to back kicks that failed to hit the target 20m away. He's not on his pat malone though.

[one-eyed]

Clever Irish tap up by foot by Biggie.


Ball-up 40 out. Free to Ryan in the ruck. Hands off to Naish but he sprays his kick.

Ball remains in our F50. Ball-up 20 out. Cumberland's snap misses.

28 - 16

11 min Q2

[one-eyed]

We hit them on transition out of defence and Cumberland out-bodies his opponent alone in F50 and runs into an open goal  .

Rich    5.4-34
Frank  2.4.16

[one-eyed]

Free to Hugo after the goal off the ball before the centrebounce. He gets it to Rioli who hits up Olden 30 out. Goal! 

Rich    6.4-40
Frank  2.4-16

Great chase down tackle by Joel Nathan. Saved a goal.

That's 50 every day of the week, umpire  . You can't come in and grab/bump a player to the ground who has taken an uncontested mark to hold up the play. That's why the rule was brought in.

Frankston gain possession and run it down for a goal.

40 - 22

[one-eyed]

Dumb footy. Frankston now flooding back and waiting to hit us on the counter. You don't kick it to contests where our player is  isolated and turn over the ball  .

Gifts them a goal.

40 - 28

[one-eyed]

Well that was gift wrapped to us  . Frankston kick sideways straight to Scanlon 20 out directly in front. Goal!

Rich    7.4-46
Frank  4.4-28
