Poor option and kick by Martyn to the wing. Turnover. North goal from it.

27 - 9

6 mins Q2

[one-eyed]

More slop.

6 kicks inside 50 fail to find a target.

Then Faimalo misses Mansell by foot and we overpossess by hand across HB until we turn it over and gift Norf a goal  .

27 - 15

[one-eyed]

Martyn's kick to a contest at HB is turned over. They miss.

27 - 18

18 mins Q2

[Knighter]

Martin is stuffen useless

[one-eyed]

Can we actual hit a target by foot this quarter?

[one-eyed]

Wow this is some really dumb and unskilled footy .

Goal to Norf.

27 - 24

[one-eyed]

RCD to Street for the centre clearance and George playing in front marks 45 out kicking into the wind. To the goalsquare. A snap by one of our VFL players goes across the face and misses everything.

Siren! We didn't score that quarter into the wind.

Half-time

Richmond      4.3     4.3-27
North Melb.   0.3     3.6-24

Gawd I hope our seniors don't play like this  .

The only thing that looked AFL standard was RCD winning a couple of centre clearances. The rest from the team was barely Auskick standard  . Lacking talls doesn't help either.

[one-eyed]

We get the first centre clearance but the handball misses the target to stuff up an open chance .

Parker eventually gets it on the outside and runs to 40 but his shot misses.

28 - 24

[one-eyed]

Throw-in on the wing. Castagna wins it to RCD, hands off to Dow. It eventually gets back to RCD who runs inside 50 and kicks a great goal on the run  .

Rich  5.4-34
Norf  3.6-24

[one-eyed]

Two bad blues by our VFL players. One handballed straight to a Norf player 5m away then two spoiled each other receiving a handball 

[one-eyed]

Our forward set-up is terrible. We have the wind and a free kick 55 out and we set up with Biggie one out against two Norf players .

[one-eyed]

George intercepts the mishandled ball by a Norf defender but his snap misses.

From the kick-in Banks intercepts and we finally find a marking target inside 50 with Bauer marking on the lead 35 out. Misses.

36 - 25
