Sloppy first 10 mins. Missing simple targets  .

1 - 0.

[one-eyed]

Geez I hope the seniors don't play like this. The number of mistackles and basic skill errors  .

1 - 7

[one-eyed]

Elliot could have kicked a goal on his left but handballed it to Bauer who was under pressure and it's a point.

Sums up this quarter. Stuff up after stuff up  .

3 - 14

25 mins Q1

Throw-in F50. Bauer high centering kick falls in the basket of Brown. Goal!

Took 29 mins to kick a goal with the breeze  .

Makes a difference when you play in front and hit targets.

Soldo bullet pass inside 50  and Biggie marks on the lead 35 out. Goal! 

Rich   2.3-15
Bris   2.2-14

Quarter time

Richmond   2.3-15

Goals: Nyuon, Brown.


Well that was total rubbish until the last 3 mins when we finally put some clean play together and kicked both goals.

We'll find out how important the breeze is in the 2nd qtr.

Brown poise in traffic in the middle finds George 40m out. George plays on and handballs to Colina 25 out on his own but he takes forever to get the ball to his foot and it's smothered  .

[one-eyed]

Rather than bombing it in Melville and Hugo pass it around the arc. Melville then finds Bauer on the lead directly in front 35 out. Goal! 

Rich   3.3-21
Bris    2.2-14

7 mins Q2

Hugo in the back pocket kicks it OOTF. Lucky it didn't cost a goal.
