14 - 19

[one-eyed]

Melbourne more desperate so far. Getting more numbers around the loose footy.

Terrible defending to the kick to the hot spot. Allowed a chest mark 10m out not playing in front with the ball into the breeze

14 - 25

[one-eyed]

Frees  1 - 10

 

[Tiger Khosh]

This handball it forward to the opposition tactic doesn’t seem to be working…

Half-time

Richmond   2.1     2.2-14
Melbourne  3.1     4.1-25

Goals: McKenzie, Sheerin.


Well that was crap. Poor in the 1-on-1 contest. Supposedly had the breeze yet we continually went wide and tried to handball our way through all the time and kept turning it over. That's on the coach .

Brennan still off the ground.

As for these umps who won't pay us frees  .

Brennan out of the match with an ankle   .

[one-eyed]

Hard to see us winning with the way we are playing and especially defending.

14 - 31


Hard to win also when the umps are paying frees only one way. Now out to 1 - 13 .

[one-eyed]

Nah just land in a Tiger's back 

[one-eyed]

We finally get it inside F50. Yassir from the boundary but it's rushed through.

15 - 32

[one-eyed]

OMG we actually got a free 

Lavey to the goalsquare but Yassir drops it when it was going through.

16 - 32

[one-eyed]

Sheerin to Ford who finds Yassir 45 out. Chips back to Ford 40. Kick goes wide and doesn't make the distance. Egan off the ground but another point.

17 - 32

[one-eyed]

You're the only who thought that was a handball ump  .
