Richmond vs Essendon @ the MCG --- Round 23, 2022

[Andyy]

Umps being nicer to us this quarter.

Looks like the boys have decided to put the game away so they can cruise again in the final quarter.

Enjoying Lynch beat up on an undersized Laverde.

[Andyy]

Gee Nank couldn't you stand in front of Peter there pfft

[mightytiges]

That's a minute of terrible D50 footy we won't want to see back . Balta's lazy kick too low straight to a Bomber and then allowing Wright to mark a high ball uncontested 10m out  .

 

[mightytiges]

Sonsie all class again. To Bolts 40 out. Misses.

105 - 55

[Broadsword]

Oddly enough, I'm more concerned about us picking up an injury while we are mentally switched off like this than if we had our heads in the game a bit more.

[mightytiges]

Pickett pulls the kick into the hole and Maurice marks 40 out. Falls short and rushed.

106 - 55

[Broadsword]

Will likely finish as top scorers with 4th highest percentage now. Currently 121%.

[mightytiges]

Heppell tackled, drops the ball one handed (no free) and then the ump pays him a free  . Talk about charity! This isn't Auskick ump!

3/4 time

Richmond    6.3   10.7    16.10-106
Essendon     3.2    7.6      9.8-62

Goals: Lynch 3, Cumberland 3, Edwards 3, Riewoldt, Miller, Prestia, M,Rioli, Cotchin, Bolton, McIntosh.


Put the foot down in the first 15 mins of the qtr and then took it off and went back to going through the motions bruise free footy again.

[Andyy]

Looks like the cue's in the rack again.

Expect some junk time crap. Dons will run hard to save some embarrassment like it matters.

Gosh I feel for Rutten. Crap list, crap board, crap culture, literally the whole club is rotten inside and out.
