VFL Wildcard Round: Richmond vs Collingwood @ Punt Rd, Sun. Aug 27

[pmac21]

Great we have a 204cm giant playing forward while a midget is in the ruck. 

[one-eyed]

We're going too straight and back to where the Collingwood numbers are rather than switching play. Pies just feeding off us.

3 - 20

Said it last week

El Nour isn't VFL standard. 

And just a comment on Lachlan Street. He alaways nominates for the AFL draft, commentators suggest he should be on an AFL list. His disposal is the reason he isn't, shocking. Beautiful kicking style but shocking execution

[Knighter]

Morris is stuffen useless

[pmac21]

Cut our losses with Bradtke. 
He is useless

[WilliamPowell]

Cut our losses with Bradtke. 
He is useless

IMHO there's alot to work with.

Wish they'd instruct him to lead more rather than this stupid crash packs and bring it to ground

[one-eyed]

Two leads from Cumberland. One up the ground and then back in the pocket. Goal! 

Rich  1.3-9
Coll  4.2-26

28 mins Q1

[one-eyed]

Sorry, my cousin rang and I had to take the call.

Current score: 42 - 47

Samson just sprays a shot for a point.

[one-eyed]

Samson makes up for it with a good tackle to cause the turnover. Gets to Pickett who puts us in front 

Rich  7.6-48
Coll   7.5-47

23 min Q2

[one-eyed]

Melville intercepts on the wing. Goes to Lachie Johnson across to Street to Hugo 40 out. Sprays it right and no score (throw-in).

Good pressure forces the OOTF. Hugo's kick again goes right and no score .

Half-time

Richmond    2.4     7.7-49
Coll'wood    4.4      7.5-47

Goals: Cumberland 2, Bradtke, Pickett, Ryan, McDonagh, Hicks.


Did well to come back from 23 pts down. Actually should be further in front as the ball spent the last 10 mins in our forward half.

Poor/mistackle in the middle and the Pies get the first of the 3rd.

49 - 53

[one-eyed]

Terrible defending to allow a mark like that to a long high ball.

49 - 59
