VFL Rd 21 Richmond v Carlton at Ikon Park

[one-eyed]

After playing volleyball 20m out from Carlton's goal  , Harris rushes the ball from 10m and gets pinged for deliberate. Gifts the Blues a goal and the lead   .

26 - 27

Langford is a big boy. Pretty explosive but I'd worry he might turn plodder like hopper when he puts on even more mass

Quarter time

Richmond   4.2-26
Carlton       4.3-27

Goals: May, Davidson, Johnson.


We have players with the IQ of their shoe size . Our stupid need to handball sideways and backwards to no one even when the direct kick to a 1-vs-1 inside 50 is the best option  .

he has a nice left foot especially for that size

Our best transition of the ball so far by far. Maurice with the free deep in defence. We get it out. Draftee Langford a nice move finds Dow in the centre, then to Cumberland to Wilson who marks 40 out. Goal!

Couragouse fly for the mark at HF by McCarthy. Had his legs taken out in air with the players coming the other way. Maurice to Davidson goes long. May does well to bring it to ground and Fawcett crumbs and goals

Kick long to the hot spot. May can't mark but brings it ground and Yassine front and square crumbs and snaps the goal

Yassine hits May on the lead 45 out. Drifts left.

Samson should have marked that anyway but that was a front on contact free.

Bit of chaotic pressure footy in F50. Johnson gathers and snaps the goal

Goals: Johnson 2, Yassine 2, Cumberland, Fawcett, May, Davidson, Wilson.


Better but still stuffed up transition chances when we were out. It's a rare VFL match where we have far more AFL-listed players (10-2) plus a height advantage up forward via May.
