VFL: Richmond vs Northern Bullants @ Punt Rd, Sun. March 26

[pmac21]

At both levels we need to learn how to tackle and not give away a free kick

Street from 55 and Bradtke takes the pack mark by the point post. Goal! 

That's 5 for him.

Rich  10.4-64
NB      1.4-10

Agree pmac. We need to learn to pin the arm too. We're allowing the opposition to still dispose of the ball in the tackle.

Bradke 5 on debut in a half? Great start

He looks like he knows how to kick a goal and just be in the right spots at the right time

[JP Tiger]

Bradley tearing it up with 5 in a half, looks the goods in the VFL.  Hard to say if he is ready for the firsts though.  Looks to have talent but I’m not sure if he is hardened enough for the big time, but certainly has talent & size.  Maybe he can get a game later this season.

Aside from Bradtke, this has also been Biggie's best game I've seen. Doing well in the ruck and also intercepting as a follower a kick behind the play.

This 3rd quarter has started like yesterday's. We've come out asleep.

Poor defensive clearing kick by the Bullants goes to Ross who kicks across to Bauer on the lead 35 out. Goal! 

Rich   11.4-70
NB       2.5-17

[pmac21]

Umpiring is an absolute joke.  Perfect tackle there paid as dump tackle. 

[one-eyed]

So, we're now not allowed to tackle .

Ump goal to the Bullants.

70 - 23

Frees:  10 - 20

Can see why Cumberland is not playing.  Does some stupid things.  Just not smart.  Just cost us a goal.
