Quarter time

Richmond   1.3-9

Goal: Cumberland.


Hello soft and woeful! Intensity switched off after 5 mins and we completely wasted our chance with the breeze by giving the Swans who wanted it more most of the possession.

McDonagh to the pocket and Ryan takes the contested mark 30 out by the boundary. Hold up into the breeze and across the face. Rushed.

10 - 14

Umps wearing red and white too.

Soldo good tap to Coulthard to Cumberland to Bradtke to Lefau in the goalsquare = Goal! 

Finally did something well without butchering it.

Rich  2.4-16
Syd   2.4-16

10 min Q2

[one-eyed]

Olden long from the wing and Soldo takes a hanger 40m out. Hands off to McDonagh who makes the journey. Goal! 

Rich  3.4-22
Syd   2.4-16

13 min Q2

Goal to the Swans.

22 all.

[one-eyed]

Nice one-two by Sonsie. Chips to Faimalo in the pocket. Goes to the top of the goalsquare and Hugo floats in to mark over the top.

Misses from 10m out  .

23 - 22

[one-eyed]

Ballwatching like we're wearing concrete boots  .

Our tackling has been bloody ordinary too.

Goal to the Swans.

23 - 28

[one-eyed]

Soldo gets the tap but no sweeper and the Swans get the easy centre clearance. Teal fumbles in defence and the Swans get another. Schoolboy stuff  .

23 - 34


Back to dumb footy.

[one-eyed]

You are allowed to kick the ball Tiges .

[one-eyed]

Coulthard (one of the few clean by possession) to Ryan to Bradtke. Goal! 

Against the run of play.

Rich  4.5-29
Syd   5.7-37

[Diocletian]

That period between Ralphsmith's miss & Bradtke's goal was comically bad.
