VFL R1: Richmond vs Coburg @ Beaconsfield, Sun. March 23

[one-eyed]

Starting bounce of the 3rd. Raso out of the middle and hits up Alger 40 out. Misses to the right.

32 - 44

[one-eyed]

Another 5m handpass that bounces in front of the teammate  . We just continually put ourselves under pressure because we don't hit simple targets.

Gray is having a mare. Looks like he is running in quicksand. Just too slow to get to the fall of the ball.

Goal to Coburg.

32 - 51

Goals: Ryan 3, Sims 2, Alger, McAuliffe, Raso, Johnson, Garner


McAuliffe's solo effort seemed to wake us up. We kicked 6 in a row granted with the breeze. Alger and Sims came into the game up forward.

Coburg will have the breeze in the last.

[one-eyed]

Coburg with the first two goals.

69 - 66


We've got it forward a fair few times but can't score. Keeping the ball in only to allow Coburg to run it down the other end doesn't help  .

[Go Richo 12]

The long set shot from 50 plus out is not working but we keep doing it.
