VFL R22: Richmond vs Frankston @ Punt Rd, Sat. Aug. 20

[pmac21]

We are kicking with a 4-5 goal breeze

[pmac21]

Nice snap Clarke again. 14-7

[pmac21]

15-14. 
Really sloppy forward entries for us.
Every time they go forward they look dangerous
Butchering the wind advantage

[one-eyed]

Dumb footy so far . We've continually bombed it to numbers inside 50 but can't mark yet they go in against the breeze and we get outmarked because we're playing from behind as the ball drops short .

[pmac21]

Not a great game to watch so far
Turnovers galore from us.

[one-eyed]

We've got the breeze and no one wants to take a shot even from 50 out? Stuffing around with it inside F50.



Another point from a F50 stoppage. Bauer's snap misses.

16 - 14

[one-eyed]

RCD marks 40 out on grandstand boundary. Kicks to the goalsquare and it's spoiled OOB. Aarts snap is OOTF! 

As pmac says we're just butchering this quarter with the breeze.

[pmac21]

These are the worst skills I've seen all year. 
Kicking is embarrassing

[one-eyed]

Ball-up by the boundary 35 out and Soldo gets the free. Doesn't take the shot either  . Goes back and across and the kick long goes nowhere and spoiled again  .

[one-eyed]

Samson has dropped every mark today.

[one-eyed]

What a crap quarter! How not to play with the breeze .

For some reason the player stats page on the AFL website isn't working?

[one-eyed]

Samson and our other forwards you need to play in front when the team is kicking into a breeze.

[one-eyed]

Not sure what Dow was thinking with the backwards handball?

Anyway we get it back and Samson marks 50 out into the breeze. For some bizarre reason he now wants to take the long shot and kicks it OOTF!

Have our players got the ends and breeze mixed up?
