[one-eyed]

Half-time

Richmond   1.3      4.5-29
Sydney      2.2      5.7-37

Goal: Bradtke, Cumberland, McDonagh, Lefau


If we're playing to a system out there, I'd like to know what it is, aside from let's choose the worst/dumbest option and turnover the ball at every instance. Protecting the defensive at contests and executing a proper tackle would be nice too. So far, made to look second rate by the second bottom side that has only won one game.

Throw-in by the point post. Samson taps it forward but Green can't get his foot to the ball before it trickles over the goalline.

54 - 44

Biggie free on the wing. Goes long and Bradtke takes the strong contested mark 40 out on an acute angle. Off the side of the boot.

Hugo crumbs it but no left foot and he is caught HTB.

Then we cough up 50m .

Olden out to McDonagh who runs to 40 and Goals!

Broderick saved the day after Biggie's shocking kick at HB and then double effort gets the ball forward and then his kick is well weighted to Samson 15 out. Hits the post  .

If a player fakes a handpass it can't be 50 anymore you idiot ump  .

Biggie is having a mare. He is half asleep today.

Then Teal dives on the ball in defence.

Lucky the Swans are missing.
