Half-time

Richmond    4.1    4.1-25
Carlton        2.2    4.3-27

Goals: Brennan 2, Yassir, MacDonald.


That was woeful. Beaten up across the park especially on the outside. We're sloppy and can't move the ball forward as any system breaks down when you're effectively playing one down.

Seymour kicks it off the ground out of the middle to HF. Conti hands to Dempsey whose kick is marked by Greiser 35 out. Misses.

26 - 27

[one-eyed]

Gave up a 50 and then pathetic defence allowing a chest mark in the pack 5m out to Carlton.

26 - 33

[one-eyed]

Throw-in F50. Conti gets the free to too high/in the back 35m out. Doesn't make the distance and touched on the line.

27 - 33

[one-eyed]

Yassir snap is touched on the line and rushed.

We it get back from the kick-in but Conti misses on the run.

29 - 33

Ball locked in our forward half but we can't get a goal.

14 - 3 inside 50s that 3rd quarter but they were mostly aimless bombs to where Carlton had loaded up their defenders. Just clueless. Once it hits the ground we are outnumbered too. If we lose this today, it will be on coach Ferguson. Wrong team selection (playing one down with Kelly out there) and no system.

Brilliant by Sheerin then. Not only saved the day but that burst got the ball forward.

Carlton pressing forward and we get out the back.

Jones seals it  .

Gabby Seymour carried off by trainers in the last 10 secs  . Some leg injury.

Carlton goal on the siren.

After all that, we won by 7 pts  .

[Tiger Khosh]

Good win. Dominated for 3QTRS. Like our men’s team, need to work on our forward 50 entries as that third quarter was painful to watch.

MonCons last quarter was immense!
