Richmond vs West Coast @ Optus Stadium --- Round 18, 2023

[PoppyTige]

This is dreadful.

So often we seem to play down to the level of cruddy opposition, rather than just destroying them as we should.

I sure hope that the second half sees some improvement.

Half-time

Richmond    2.6     5.9-39
West Coast   1.1    2.5-17

Goals: Riewoldt, Pickett, Bolton, Baker, Soldo.


Lucky we're playing the bottom side otherwise we'd be 10 goals down against a decent side if we dished up a half of U10s slop like that .

[Andyy]

Had a good run with the umps.

That was soft but technically there to Soldo, thank goodness he kicked it.

[FooffooValve]

If not for Balta we'd be behind.

[Diocletian]

Not respecting the opposition , playing like millionaires then getting sucked into a scrappy slog.

Thanks ump with the late whistle. That was a mark to Dusty. Should have been called back.

At least that’s something

One positive out of the first half

Dan Rioli through the middle. Gets to Graham who chips to Ross 30 out. Goal! 

Better!

Makes a difference when you kick straight. It's not a difficult game.
