Might have just seen why Dow has spent a fair bit of time in the 2s. Can't pick and choose when you chase and pressure.

[WilliamPowell]

That was embarrassing Thomson Dow

Gifts Port an inside 50 due to refusing to chase

[one-eyed]

Really poor by Dow then. Gave up on the chase.

29 - 34

[WilliamPowell]

Despite a few things

Really enjoying this game

Kids looking good

[one-eyed]

Short finds Bolton 45 out. Gets too close to the man on the mark and misses.

30 - 34

If anyone had any doubt that Tom Dow deserved another chance at AFL, rewatch Q2 with 16:30 left.

His career is on the line. Nank intercepted the mark and Dow called for a handball recieve and then bombed to an uncontested Port mark. Shocking kick. Then ball cam eback into middle instantly, had a moment to redeem and chase down Butters yet he jogged behind him for about 30m expecting him to kick is and Butter just kept running.

No desire in what may be your last ever game, no desire to redeem a mistake. That is easy motivation to put in max effort. That was a choice, not a skill, pace, height, strength issue. He actively made the choice that chasing and redeeming his own mistake wasn't worth it. Sorry Thomson I was a maybe but now I'm absolutely off. Delist.

Agreed

Balta hits the post from 15m out .


Our amateurish goalkicking  .

[TigerLand]

Enjoyable game to watch with absolutely no spice in it for either team. New boys look good. Not taking gloss of it but Port have their heads on a fortnight away.

[TigerLand]

I'm at a genuine loss what you do with Shai and his lazy rubbish snaps. I reckon that's 4-5 absolute gimmir goals he's missed with this stupid back to goal no look snap. At best is lazy at worst it's as unprofessional thing by anyone on 7 figures.

Get serious Shai it's absolutely unacceptable junior footy crap. 1 or 2 you can say take the good with the bad but it's just pathetic.

[WilliamPowell]

Yep, Port certainly playing bruise free footy

But gee our kids are showing something

Not all doom and gloom

[TigerLand]

I don't think Soldo is out best 22 but at least someone can take a set shot seriously. Good boy Ivan. We deserve to be in front. 5.10..

[WilliamPowell]

If we are being honeet we should be in front

2.7

Some very easy misses

[one-eyed]

Hooray we actually put one through the middle! Soldo goal  .

Rich  5.10-40
Port    6.5-41

[one-eyed]

Half-time

Richmond    3.4     5.11-41
Port Adel.    4.3      6.7-43

Goals: Bolton 2, Bauer, Graham, Soldo


The positive is we've been competitive and cubs like Brown are showing good signs. The negative is once again the basics such as goalkicking are letting us down.
