Quarter time

Richmond  2.2-14
Essendon   1.1-7

Goals: Brennan 2.


Our efficiency on the counter has given us the lead. Midfield has been loose as anything. No defensive accountability at all. Essendon had some good looks going inside their F50 but didn't make the most of them. Miller has been great so far.

You don't do blind handballs in defence .

[WilliamPowell]

We gift another one

Stupid free, no need for that had her cold apart from trying to  dislodge her head

Ellie McKenxpzue contributed to that mess

[WilliamPowell]

When  it comes off our quick movement by hand is brilliant

But geez when we do one too many it's pathetic

Whe  it comes off our quick movement by hand is brilliant

But geez when we do one too many it's pathetic

That's on the coach. Why handball when the best option is to kick  .

Can our smalls learn to hold their defensive front and square position at contests

[one-eyed]

Where was our defending? Essendon players everywhere had half an hour on their own. Lucky they missed.

Bombers in numbers with no Tigers in sight again  . This time we pay.
