No breeze.

Suns kick out of defence is OOTF. Green finds Melville 45m out. Misses.

1 - 0

[one-eyed]

Suns get a free 10m out and a gifted goal.

1 - 6

[one-eyed]

Another goal to them. Their height up forward is a problem against our shorter defenders.

1 - 12

[one-eyed]

After 5 straight frees to the Suns we finally get our first. Free to Mansell 25 out. Goal! 

Rich  1.1-7
GC    2.0-12

[one-eyed]

McDonagh with the centre clearance and White marks. Goal! 

Rich  2.1-13
GC   2.0-12

[one-eyed]

Two quick goals to the Suns.

13 - 24


They've kicked 4 goals from just 6 F50 entries. We've had 9 inside 50s.

Frees: 1 - 7

Another goal to them.

13 - 30

[one-eyed]

After another two goals to the Suns, Melville gets one back from 55.

Rich   3.1-19
GC    7.0-42

[one-eyed]

Throw-in 35 out. McDonagh banana snap is a point.

20 - 42

Quarter time

Richmond   3.2-20
Gold Coast  7.0-42

Goals: Mansell, Melville, White.


3 goals from 15 F50s to us compared to 7 goals from just 11 F50s to them. We are bombing it to our midsized forwards while there's no pressure and a lack of height when the Suns get it forward of centre.
