Hicks to Coulthard to Biggie on 50. From down town it hits the post. Unlucky.

23 - 19

[one-eyed]

Coulthard looked to be legged. Not paid.

Bradtke to the hot spot. Bilston-McGillen snap over his head misses.

24 - 20

[one-eyed]

Great stoppage play. Throw-in from the point post. Miller thumps it forward to where Green runs into an open goal  .

Rich  4.6-30
GWS  3.2-20

[one-eyed]

That's the third goal to GWS thanks to us not protecting the defensive side of a stoppage/contest .

30 - 26

[one-eyed]

Bad turnover by foot by Teal. Gifts the Giants a goal.

30 - 32

[one-eyed]

Street good tackle in the centre (HTB free). Goes long and Biggie marks 35 out. No consistent momentum in his run up and he misses to the right.

31 - 32

[one-eyed]

Biggie good spoil and wins the free 40 out on the boundary. Misses to the left. Biggie now with 4 behinds.

32 all.

[one-eyed]

These umps .

Biggie and Miller rush a behind but the ump pulls a "blocking" free to GWS. Gifts them a goal  .

32 - 39

[one-eyed]

Lucky downfield free to us. Biggie with another shot. Directly in front 35 out. Yeah finally puts it through  .

Rich  5.8-38
GWS 6.3-39

[one-eyed]

High, high floating ball. Coulthard running back couldn't just hold onto it. Rushed.

39 all.

[one-eyed]

Ugly but in the end effective with Clohsey kick landing in Bilston-McGillen's arm by the boundary. Plays on and misses.

We get it back and from the kick-in and Green running into an open goal misses as well  .

41 - 39

[one-eyed]

Half-time

Richmond   2.4     5.11-41
GWS          3.1      6.3-39

Goals: Green 2, Biggie, Banks, Lefau.


On top in general play for most of that quarter. But it was one of missed opportunities in front of goal, GWS only scoring off our bad turnovers, and some odd umpiring decisions.

[Knighter]

Green couldn’t hit the side of a barn from 5m away
