Makes a big difference when you kick straight. Hello AFL side!

That was a mark to Thomas ump.

Another one. One transition started by Trezise in defence who has started really well. Green on the end it runs into an open goal

Really poor last 5 mins. Intensity has dropped off and we can't exit from our D50.

Quarter time

Richmond   6.0-36
N.Bullants   1.3-9

Goals: Davidson 2, Green, Thomas, Collier, Johnson.

Dominated the first 18 mins with workrate, clean footy and putting it on the scoreboard. However, that all vanished in the last 10 mins. Intensity dropped off as did our decision making and skills. We were beaten easily in the contest so we could hardly get it past halfway. Need to switch back on in the 2nd qtr and respect the opposition.
