Samson brainfade in the ruck right in front of Werribee's goal. Was too far away from the ball-up and got the smaller Werribee player high.

39 - 58

Another two soft goals to Werribee in red time. All the hard work for 25 mins wasted  .

5 soft red time goals to Werribee we've given away so far .

Richmond   0.4     3.8     5.9-39

Got ourselves back into the game and on the scoreboard by turning it into a contested scrap until Samson's brainfade handed the momentum back to Werribee in the last 5 mins.

Tried hard esp. after half time but lack of polish and a number defensive brainfades (6 goals to Werribee in red time compared to none to us) the difference.

ps. Juddy Clarke (knee) is another to add to our lonnnnnnnnng AFL injury list . Yassine injured as well.

Slumberland Cumberland clearly big, deserves a call up after another gobsmacking effort . How he isn't in the team is beyond me.. we are so lucky to have him

[MintOnLamb]

Ryan did pretty well
