Terrible camera angle if this is at Punt Road. Better than nothing but not great.

Miller, Ross & Maurice playing in the VFL.

The lack of AFL-listed players is showing. Getting smashed in the clearances. Banks being trialed in the middle. And with Bauer playing behind the ball and Bradtke our only tall forward we're struggling to get it past HF.

Not sure what has happened to Maurice's ball use. Did all the hard work bursting away and around 3 Dogs but sprayed the banana right-footed kick from 25m out that it landed in the pocket. No left foot but in saying he should still have kicked it with his right anyway. It wasn't that hard.

This looks like getting very ugly.

Make that another goal to the Dogs from a stoppage  . Centre clearance in this case.

1 - 25

[one-eyed]

Hicks long. Ball spills from the pack. Biggie out to Banks who snaps our first  .

Rich  1.1-7
Foot  4.1-25

Green also playing in the middle.

Another goal from a clearance to the Dogs. Some dumb footy. Ball was effectively pinned but we coughed it up rather than seeking another stoppage.

7 - 31

[one-eyed]

A couple of repeat entries. Bauer to Bracher chips to Hicks 40 out. Misses.

Dogs go coast to coast. We give away a free kick and give them another goal.

8 - 37

[one-eyed]

Bradtke off with a dislocated finger.

McDonagh turns it over coming out of defence with 20 secs to go. Dogs set shot after the siren misses thankfully.

Quarter time

Richmond    1.2-8
Footscray    6.3-39

Goal: Banks


This could end up a 100 point flogging . Our structure and the quality really drops away when our number of AFL-listed players is low and they need to play out of their positions.

Playing: Bauer, Bradtke, Biggie, Miller, Ross, Maurice, Banks, Green, Tarrant (must be managed game time - haven't noticed him out there).

Bauer in defence
Banks and Green are in the guts.
