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

[one-eyed]

Start of the 3rd: Two fantastic goal saving tackles (Biggie then Mansell)  .

Is Caddy injured?

Not sure. I missed the first 10 mins.

[TigerLand]

Pressure been very good.

[one-eyed]

Mansell to Olden (contested mark) at HF. Goes long. Carlton defender gathers but Stack forces him to kick it OOTF. Banana for a point.

77 - 38

[TigerLand]

Think Will Martyn needs a miracle to stay on list next year.

Stack should play next week. RCD too.

Biggy and Miller surely aren't that much far behind Tarrant. List management 2 years was a mare.

HTB doesn't exist for us this qtr.

Think Will Martyn needs a miracle to stay on list next year.

Yep. Marytn's only position is as an inside mid not a HB or defender. Footskills and leg speed not good enough elsewhere.

[one-eyed]

We've been lucky this quarter. 3 bad mistakes (Soldo misjudging the flight, Martyn's intercepted kick across defence, Biggie's 50) in the defensive half not punished by the Blues.

77 - 45

[one-eyed]

Goal to Carlton. Most of the quarter has been in their forward half.

77 - 53

26 mins Q3

Winds picking up, are Blues kicking with it?

Yes- lack of speed not suited to HBF. Mid only or not at all.

[The Machine]

RCD has been really good.

[one-eyed]

Well that was a forgettable quarter . Spent the quarter trying to stop the Blues from scoring and we could hardly get it past centre (granted the Blues had the breeze).

Presumably we won't have Lambert in the last quarter if he's only playing 3 quarters today.
