[one-eyed]

That's better.

Sarah Hosking out of the centre. Brennan gathers and hands to Bernardi to Conti who goals on the run .

Rich  5.2-32
WC   1.2-8

[one-eyed]

Should have been a free for too high to us in the middle.

Eagles go forward and we again aren't supporting each other offering options. Turnover leads to an Eagles goal.

32 - 14

[one-eyed]

Another clear free not paid (Stahl copped it high).

Finally the umps see one. Sarah Hosking 20m out but misses  . Tried to float it through .

33 - 14

[one-eyed]

Of course it takes McKenzie to kick the classy goal  .

Rich  6.3-39
WC   2.2-14

Geez our small forwards are dumb. Get to Brennan's feet you dopes. Second time this quarter she's beaten her opponent in the aerial contest and there's no teammates near her to give it to.

Kiely good kick under pressure finds Makur Chuot who marks 35 out. Hits the post.

40 - 14

[one-eyed]

Lavey long to HF. McKenzie too strong and hands to Conti who just misses from 35.

41 - 14

Two decent chances stuffed up. Eventually rushed.

42 - 14

[one-eyed]

Make that 3. Free to us. Brennan takes the advantage but sprays the snap.

43 - 14

[one-eyed]

We've built the wall across HF so getting repeat entries.

Good pressure by Brennan forces the OOTF kick by an Eagle defender. She then gets dumped and 50m. Brennan goals from the goalsquare! 

Rich  7.7-49
WC   2.2-14

[one-eyed]

Slack defending by our mids. Eagle player was allowed to wander inside 50 alone and then no one manned the mark for the shot on goal .

49 - 20

[WilliamPowell]

Tremendous to see as the  season progresses the standard of umpiring has moved to another level

Backwards 

[one-eyed]

Poor defending again. Eagles get a goal from a defensive stoppage  .

49  - 26
