Win today and we play Williamstown in a Wildcard final.

Lose, but Sandy also loses, then we play Gold Coast away in a Wildcard final.

Lose, but Sandy, wins then it's season over.

Seems we've got Blues fans as commentators in the stream

"Carlton can throw a spanner in the works for Richmond as they often have done over the years"



Ah once in a 2013 EF isn't "often"

First goal to Austin Johnson 

6 - 0

2 min Q1

[one-eyed]

Out of the centre and Archue May marks and goals 

Rich  2.0-12
Carl   0.0-0

3 min Q1

[one-eyed]

We get two quick goals in 3 mins by kicking long and direct. Then for some stupid reason we start blindly handballing like mad going around in circles and have coughed up the next two goals 

12 - 13

[one-eyed]

Amazing! We have a height advantage in our forward line and we kick long and direct and get a goal. Not hard Tigers!

Ball comes to ground and Yassine wins the HTB free 10m out  .

Rich  3.0-18
Carl   2.1-13

14 min Q1

[one-eyed]

Long kick gets over the back, 2 vs 2 and Samson gets his toe to it, but it floats just wide.

19 - 13

[one-eyed]

Maurice causes the F50 turnover with the tackle and finds Collier 40 out directly in front. Misses.

20 - 13

[one-eyed]

We keep it inside 50 from the Carlton kick-in. Loose ball gets to 15 out and Davidson with the snap from the pack goes through 

Rich  4.2-26
Carl   2.1-13

18 min Q1

[pmac21]

If Combo gets another contract I'll spew up after that.  He has zero football IQ. None

[one-eyed]

We were out but Cumberland selfishly tries to beat 2 Blues players on the wing rather than give it off first option and it costs us a goal the other way  .

26 - 19

[one-eyed]

Where was the defence Tiges? Carlton players free everywhere inside our D50. Lucky they miss.

26 - 20

[one-eyed]

Can we drop anymore uncontested marks?
