VFL R4: Richmond vs Carlton @ Princes Park, Sunday April 17

[one-eyed]

Back to back goals to the Blues via silly frees.

43 - 24

[one-eyed]

RCD 1-2 with Maurice in traffic out of the middle and it lands in Olden's arms. Goes long to the square but Soldo drops the mark. We move it around by hand and Aarts finds Stack back at 40 out. Goal! 

Rich  8.1-49
Carl  4.0-24

[one-eyed]

Stack made that goal. Won the hard ball in the centre. Off to Lambert to Sonsie who goes long and finds Olden 25 out. Goal!

Rich  9.1-55
Carl  5.0-30

[one-eyed]

RCD out of the middle from the centre clearance. The ball bounces to Olden who grubbers a shot but it's rushed through.

We get back from the kick-in and it ends up with Olden 25 again. Goal! 

Rich  10.2-62
Carl    5.0-30

Clarke burns off his opponent on the wing and takes 3 bounces. Ends in a throw-in inside 50. Free to Soldo in the ruck. Goal! 

Rich  11.2-68
Carl    5.0-30

I see Aarts is playing

Seriously, how does that work? He got subbed into a AFL game yesterday and his allowed to play VFL less than  24 hours later?

Maurice tackle at the centre bounce wins the HTB free. Off to Sonsie to Arts who kicks to Stack but he drops the simple mark. Johnson snap misses.

Blues go coast to coast from the kick-in. Costly 12-pt turnaround due to the dropped mark.

69 - 36

[one-eyed]

I see Aarts is playing

Seriously, how does that work? He got subbed into a AFL game yesterday and his allowed to play VFL less than  24 hours later?

Playing limited minutes today to add up to a full game?

He only played 15 mins last night.

Another "stand" rule 50 to us. Lefau goals 

Rich  12.3-75
Carl    6.0-36

32 mins Q2

[Rampsation]

RCD up to 16 disposals. Stocker has 3.

[one-eyed]

Great tackle by Soldo. Stopped a Blue goal opportunity.

Clever tap down by Ryan but Sonsie misses.

We get it back via Stack but Ryan kicks it to a Blue rather than snapping for goal . Siren.

40 pts up at half-time.

Sounds like a big turnaround from the last time we played. 
Time to bring some of these kids in. 
It's refresh time for our senior team.  Be great to see some fresh faces out there.
