FLOSSSSSSSYYYYYY!!!

Man what happened to Dan Rioli? He was so polished in the first 1/3 of the year. He’s been so fumbly as of late. I know it’s wet but he’s normally one of the few you can rely on for silk.

3/4 time

Richmond   2.1    5.6    8.12-60
Sydney      4.3    8.6    10.8-68

Goals: Ross 2, Miller, Cotchin, Pickett, Baker, Nankervis, Vlastuin.


Same as the 2nd qtr. Had the better of general play but bad kicking is bad footy and we've coughed up soft goals at the other end.

[Tiger Khosh]

Please stop kicking it to Jack unless 20m in the clear. Doesn’t look close to being able to grab it 1v1 let alone 2v1.
