VFL R3: Richmond vs Footscray @ Punt Rd

[one-eyed]

Brown and Banks have been good off HB. Liked Banks game especially.

Maurice's best game.

Sonsie not as many touches this week but when he has the ball he creates with his disposal.

Hicks on the run from 50 hits the post.

From the kick-in a Dog defender tries to run around Street and is caught by the boundary. Set shot is point.

64 - 51

Free to Street 60 out. Goes to the hot spot. Actually Ryan does well in the marking contest. Second effort gets the ball out to Stack who gathers and goals  .

Rich  10.10-70
Foot   7.9-51

Shocking kick by a Dog defender straight to Maurice on 50. His kick inside 50 isn't great but Clarke swoops and crumbs his 3rd goal  .

RCD lace out pace to Cumberland who drops the mark. Regathers the ball but shanks the shot and grubbers a behind.

Does Cumberland understand T for team. Not good signs for mine as he plays a little for himself. Not just today either...

Junk time goal to the Dogs.
