Each side goes coast to coast. Geelong for a point while Cumberland gets on the end of it for a goal (tap in from 1m out)  .

Rich  19.14-128
Geel  15.22-112

[mightytiges]

Geelong get one back.

128 - 118

[mightytiges]

Good tackle by Maurice on the wing gets the turnover. Chips to Stack which ends up with Hicks but his snap from deep in the pocket misses.

Geelong go coast to coast for a goal.

129 - 124

[mightytiges]

One of VFL players turns it over at HF. Martyn a good smother at HB but the Cats still end up with it and Biggie is caught too far behind his forward opponent gives away a free. Another goal to Geelong.

129 - 130

[mightytiges]

Ump doesn't blow the whistle until after Pickett handballs it then pings him for HTB .

Pickett then gives away 50.

Another free to Geelong but they miss.

129 - 132

[mightytiges]

Poor defending. From a high ball allowed a Geelong forward to mark on the line(between goal and point posts) right on the siren .

Thankfully they miss.

129 - 132 @ End of "5th" quarter.

[Buddysucks]

How did Samson Ryan get an AFL game!

End of "5th" quarter

Richmond  19.15-129
Geelong     18.24-132

Goals [this qtr]: Cumberland, Street.


As wayne said the standard has dropped just a tiny bit    .

[mightytiges]

How did Samson Ryan get an AFL game!

He's sadly been awful since he was thrown to the wolves in that St Kilda game. Looks to have shattered any confidence he had. He's gone backwards dramatically. Even during this preseason training he has been struggling.

[mightytiges]

LOL right on cue Samson Ryan actually takes a good contested mark 40 out and goals  from Caddy's kick inside 50.

I'll shut up now  .

Rich  20.15-135
Geel  18.24-132

[mightytiges]

Got club trainers doing the umpiring.

HTB against us? 

Clear out of bounds not called.

[mightytiges]

This quarter has been kick ball to teammate's feet then that teammate gets caught HTB trying to fend off.

[mightytiges]

Finally we don't make a basic skill error on transition from D50. Ends up with Cook who goals on the run  .

Rich  21.15-141
Geel  18.26-134

[mightytiges]

Mistackle on wing then Biggie nor one of VFL-listers can't get the spoil in the marking contest. Goal to Geelong.

141 - 140

10 mins to go.
