VFL R8: Richmond vs Geelong @ Punt Rd, Sat. May 13

[Tiger Khosh]

No one really putting their hand up for senior selection in that first half just based on the stats.

If Bradtke shows something in the second half, doesn’t even have to necessarily be goals as much as string contested marking then I’d consider bringing him in against the bombers provided wet weather isn’t forecast. Bombers defence is severely undermanned right now.

Biggie out of the centre to Green 60 out. Kick to the pocket to Cumberland is spoiling OOB. From the throw-in, Cumberland snaps a point.

36 - 37

These umps . Cooper tackled immediately and he's pinged for HTB. Gifts Geelong a goal  .

36 - 44

[one-eyed]

A certain goal stuffed up. Faimolo did well initially bursting inside 50 but his handpass to Clarke was to his feet and the chance was gone

Sonsie's kick-in is OOTF. Poor checking allows another shot on goal by Geelong. Thankfully they are missing.

36 - 47

Just slop by us. Not switched on.

[one-eyed]

Ball-up 25 out. Bradtke tries taking it out of the ruck and it trickles for a behind.

37 - 47

[one-eyed]

Seriously Tigers! That was embarrassing. One Cat against two Tiger defenders who fall over and gift the Cats a goal .

37 - 53

[one-eyed]

Another goal to them.

37 - 59


This is lazy, soft and brainless "effort" from us.

[one-eyed]

That was the only way we looked like scoring. A Geelong defender bizarrely handballing straight to us.

Brindley goal

Geel  8.11-59

Ball-up 20 out. White quick kick and goals!

3/4 time

Richmond   2.2    5.5    7.7-49
Geelong     3.4    5.7    8.11-59

Goals: Bradtke, Cumberland, Hicks, Melville, McDonagh, Brindley, White.


That quarter was painful to watch. Talk about clueless play. Seen better organisation at Auskick level  . Add so many nearly moments due to fumbles and it's a match we've just been off. Need a big lift in intensity and regain some focus and awareness in the last quarter to save this.

Ump #9 might as well be wearing a Geelong jumper. Won't pay us as a free and then gifts the Cats a goal  .

61 - 68


Green has had a mare btw. Won't keep his feet.
