Richmond vs Melbourne @ the MCG --- Anzac Eve, Round 7, 2025

That shouldn't have been a free to Timmy but we'll take it  .

Not sure how we're only 5 pts down.

Quarter time

Richmond   2.3-15
Melbourne  3.2-20

Goals: Lalor, Taranto.


So far it's showing it's a match between two bottom 4 sides. Pretty poor standard. Hopefully we've now settled. The last 5 mins we had the better of it.

Gray doing well so far on debut.

Geez Lynchy 

[mightytiges]

Green kicks the difficult one 

We're in front! 

[mightytiges]

That was a worse decision than the Taranto one  . And some say we shouldn't criticise the flouro muppets. The standard of umpiring is in crisis. They are spoiling the game 

[mightytiges]

Mansell 

Back in front again.

Just a weird game lol.

[mightytiges]

Too casual Floss. Soft goal to give away.

Half-time

Richmond    2.3    4.6-30
Melbourne   3.2    5.4-34

Goals: Lalor, Taranto, Green, Mansell.


Both sides ordinary. Only topped by the umps. I'd reckon we had the better of that quarter in terms of chances but 4 goals from 25 inside 50s shows we are falling down going forward. Just a weird game how both sides are going so wide by the boundary.

Another BS free to Melbourne 

[Simonator]

Been really poor tonight. I noticed when the opponent pressures up on the mark quickly our players just don’t get back fast enough and end up getting smothered or having to kick too high all the time. Banks and miller are massive offenders of this

[Simonator]

Faull been done twice for blocking. Not a block imo. Umpiring has been bizarre tonight, clearly had some instruction which has just been disgraceful

MRJ
