Biggie bounds to 50 and nails it 

Only positive thing we've done this quarter.

GC  11.3-69

We've been trying to handball our way through the Suns. Finally it works for once. Hicks to Green 15 out. Passes it off to Mansell who goals  .

Rich  5.4-34
GC  11.3-69

Half-time

Richmond     3.2      5.5-35
Gold Coast    7.0    13.5-83

Goals: Mansell 2, Nyuon, Melville, White.


Scoreboard says it all. Apart from a little 5m burst around the 20 min mark of that quarter when Biggie and Mansell kick goals, it's been one way traffic. Problems all over the park. We are either trying to move the ball by handball chains or long bombs and turning it over. Our defensive pressure on transition has been non-existent. Our mostly short forward line is dysfunctional and our backline been spanked.

Mansell will probably come back in next week.  Were that predictable.
