15 - 27

...and yet will still get promoted ahead of Ryan....

Basic fumble in the middle turns over the ball and gifts Sandy another goal .

16 - 34

This is soft. Fumbles, losing our feet, and mistackles.

16 - 40

[one-eyed]

Naismith down. Punched the ground. Taken off the ground with a trainer.

Replay shows no contact. Just a change of direction.

Might sadly be another ACL for him.

Got out the back. Kosi goal 

Rich     3.4-22
Sandy  6.5-41

Austin Johnson got up wobbly after coming off second-best when tackling on the wing a minute ago. So he might be off too.

I hope he sues the club for degligence. It’s a disgrace that Meehan is still employed

[one-eyed]

We've found our tipping point at VFL level due to our long injury list at AFL level.

22 - 54

I'm no fan of Meahan and our S&C dept needs a clean out, but Naismith has a long history of repeat ACLs.

[Diocletian]

So when's the MSD again? 

[one-eyed]

Half-time

Richmond       1.3     3.4-22
Sandringham  3.3     8.7-55

Goal: Koschitzke 2, George.


Smashed in the guts. So, we're continually trying to start attacks from deep in our defence.
We're out-sized in defence and it's now showing due to all the inside 50s Sandy are getting.
Small forwards nowhere to be seen, so when we do go inside 50 it bounces out quickly under no pressure.

So when's the MSD again? 

Between rounds 11-12 IIRC.
