Preseason 2023 - Richmond vs North Melbourne @ Arden St, Fri. Feb 24

[mightytiges]

Clarke intercepts at HB, sprints away and kicks long to Dusty out the back and his dribbler from 40 out goes through 

Rich  9.8-62
Norf  6.9-45

[mightytiges]

Poor defending but everyone except the ump reckoned the Norf pass hit the ground and wasn't a mark. Norf goal from it.

62 - 51

[mightytiges]

Okay we're trying the "2 min" thing again. This time Norf to defend as though they are in front by less than a kick.

Doesn't work for them. Floss does well initially. Maurice to Dusty who kicks a goal around the body from 40    .

[mightytiges]

I think some Tiger players didn't understand that drill once we kicked the goal. We then had to defend. We didn't cough up a goal but we didn't defend as though we were less than a goal in front either.

3/4 time

Richmond       1.4     6.4       9.8-62
North Melb.    3.2     4.5       7.9-51

Goals: Ryan 2, Taranto 2, Prestia, M.Rioli, Cotchin, Riewoldt, Martin.



Edit: Goals during the "2 min" drills don't count to the score. So, Dusty's 2nd goal is not included.

[mightytiges]

Grimes in the green vest. So he's been subbed out.

Looks like Bradtke and Dow coming on as they are in the huddle.

Dow on and in at the centrebounce to start the 4th qtr along with Nank, Hopper and Taranto.

Dusty on the boundary taking photos with supporters.

[mightytiges]

Cumberland on too. Taranto finds him in the pocket. Cumberland passes in board to Ross 35 out. Ross misses.

63 - 51

[mightytiges]

Biggie on too. Ringing in the changes.

[mightytiges]

Campbell on too. Finds Cumberland inside 50 who gives off quickly to Clarke who runs in and goals 

Rich  10.9-69
Norf   7.10-52

[mightytiges]

We go coast to coast. Clarke smart kick to Mansell in the centre who goes inside 50 to Campbell who marks 30 out. Goal!

Rich   11.9-75
Norf    7.11-53

[mightytiges]

That was crap defending in the goalsquare. Ballwatching between Biggie and Balta. Norf goal.

75 - 59

[TigerLand]

What's the 2 min thing MT?

[mightytiges]

Balta gives away a free down the ground in the goalsquare. Another gift in 30 secs .

75 - 65

[mightytiges]

What's the 2 min thing MT?

With 2 mins to go at the end of each quarter the actual score is ignored and one team has to pretend they are in front by less than a kick and need to defend it. So it's a little game within the actual game. Any goals during the "2 min" thing don't count to the total score. I hope that makes sense.

[mightytiges]

Forgot to say we've "won" the 2 min drills so far.


Soldo on now.

75 - 66

Breeze has picked up again.
