We are somehow making the fattest girl in women’s footy look like a superstar. 

It’s embarrassing

Disposals:   47 - 49  .... ( contested: 17 - 27 )
Clearances:  2 - 7
Inside 50s:   2 - 12

Hitouts:       7 - 4
Frees:         2 - 3


Miller  6 disposals
J.Hosking 4
Conti and about 6 others with   3

The ball has spent most of the time in our defensive half thanks to our mistakes and not working as a team supporting each other inside and outside the contest.

[one-eyed]

Lavey takes a good mark running back with the flight. Ump pulls a 50 from somewhere to bring into goal range. Goal! 

We're in front! 

Rich  2.0-12
GC    1.5-11

[one-eyed]

Brennan inside 50 leads to a ball-up. Brennan gets the free in the ruck 35 out. Misses.

13 - 11

[one-eyed]

Good tackle on the kicker-in causes a turn over but Yassir is tackled as she kicks and misses.

From the kick-in another error due to our forward pressure and this time Dargan kicks the goal  .

Rich  3.2-20
GC    1.5-11

[one-eyed]

Our forward play and entries in the last 5 mins has been awful.

As I say this Jacques finds Bernardi 35 out who gets the free for playing in front (hint to our other forwards). Misses.

21 - 11

[one-eyed]

How did not one Tiger get to that to touch it? .

21 - 17

[one-eyed]

Another goal to them from the clearance  .

21 - 23

[one-eyed]

We're playing like we are in quicksand and they are burning us with speed and overlap  .

21 - 24

[one-eyed]

A pathetic last 5 mins. Soft as!  .

Half-time

Richmond    1.0    3.3-21
Gold Coast   1.5    3.7-25

Goals: Brennan, Dargan, Lavey.

I’ve seen enough of Molan. Rubbish. Hasn’t improved one iota. Runs slower than treacle and her decision making is atrocious.

We should poach Bohanna for next season she has great hands and she knows where the footy is going.

We're over-handballing 62k 50h to the Suns 70k 38h who are more long and direct. Mind you we have no tall forward targets with Wakefield out and Brennan playing up the ground. We're falling down across HF and the Suns are continually hitting us on the rebound  .

The concerning thing is we look so lethargic and knackered already and it's only half-time. We were back in control of the game midway through the second but then just stopped as we tired. We had no run, no forward structure, couldn't get numbers to the contest and Suns players were loose everywhere easily running away from us  .

[one-eyed]

Bernardi open goal from 20 on an angle and kicks it off the side of the boot OOTF .

Dempsey intercepts the Suns kick back into play. Goal! 

Rich  4.3-27
GC    3.7-25
