Juddy Clarke playing today after being a sub last night.

No Tylar Young.

[one-eyed]

Game played in our back half so far. We can't get it out of our D50.

0 - 7 after six mins.

[one-eyed]

Both teams struggling to get it out of D50. We get repeat entries.

McDonagh misses set shot from 50.

From the kick-in, a bad kick by Geelong from the kick-in is intercepted by Sonsie. He too misses from 40.

2 - 7

[one-eyed]

Free to Melville 40m out. Goal! 

Rich  1.2-8
Geel  1.1-7

13 min Q1

[one-eyed]

Why no advantage, ump? We were rebounding off HB and the ump calls it back allowing the Cats to set up behind the ball.

[one-eyed]

We twice can't take the defensive mark and Geelong goal  .

8 - 13

[one-eyed]

I don't think the commentators have called Bauer's name correctly once yet lol.

[one-eyed]

Good pressure by Hicks forces the OOTF error by Geelong in our forward pocket. Bananas it for a goal! 

Rich  2.2-14
Geel  2.1-13

26 min Q1

[one-eyed]

That was the lowest centrebounce I've ever seen. Ump barely bounced the ball to waist height.

14 all.

[one-eyed]

These umps are clueless. Hard to be diving on the ball when you fall backwards  .

Geelong goal.

14 - 20

[one-eyed]

Quarter time

Richmond   2.2-14
Geelong     3.4-22

Goals: Hicks, Melville.


A pretty ordinary quarter of decision making by us especially the last 5 minutes. Did our best to give Geelong scoring shots  .
