VFL R17: Richmond vs Norf @ Arden St, Sat. 16th July

[one-eyed]

Mansell fouled after disposal. Downfield free to Bauer 70 out. Goes long and Maurice is tackled over the line for a rushed point.

37 - 25

[one-eyed]

Throw-in. Street gathers 55 out runs inside 50 and beautifully allows the breeze to curl the ball through the eye diddle diddle. Great Goal! 

Rich  6.7-43
Norf  3.7-25

We leave the back half open and Norf kick a goal against the wind. First at that end for the day.

43 - 31

[one-eyed]

Banks intercepts 60 out. Long bomb on the run and it goes on and on and through. Goal!

Maurice in the centre and he gives away 50 (stand rule). Lucky the kick is OOTF.

[one-eyed]

Faimalo 3 bounces through the centre but he stuffs up his disposal. 3 good tackles (two HTBs not paid) leads to Maurice finding Elliot 40 out. Misses.

50 - 31

[one-eyed]

One of VFL players turns it over kicking across goal and gifts Norf a set shot goal against the breeze.

50 - 37

[one-eyed]

Our decision making and passes inside 50 are terrible.

Rushed point to us.

51 - 37

[one-eyed]

Long kick inside 50 and Biggie takes a contested mark 35 out. Kicks it OOTF!

3/4 time

Richmond    4.3    4.3    7.9-51
North Melb.  0.3   3.6    5.7-37

Goals: Street 2, Bauer, Banks, Biggie, Olden.


Missed chances up forward (kicked 3.6) and giving up two softs goal to Norf against the breeze could prove very costly.

Goal to Norf.

57 - 43

[one-eyed]

That has to be one of the worst frees ever paid. Mansell tackles a Norf player who falls over and the ump pays a sling tackle . Gifts Norf a goal  .

58 - 49

[one-eyed]

Double standards. Bauer slung and pinged HTB  .

58 - 50
