VFL R6: Richmond vs Box Hill @ Frankston Oval, Sat. May 3

[WilliamPowell]

Down here at Frankston (made a promise on Monday night and kept my word )

Very poor last minute,  gifted them a goal.

First time I've seen some of the cubs live.

Just on Sims, I know it's early days and I've no doubt it will come in time but he needs to learn to impact contests.  Can't stand back and let the opposing ruckman take uncontested marks. Sometimes you need to leave you man to hit a contest

[one-eyed]

Blight had his ankle re-strapped.

Geez Bauer is down on confidence. Should have marked that.

OHB has gone way past Colina.

[mightytiges]

McAuliffe coathangered 25 out. Goal!

Can we cut out handballing back into D50 to teammate's feet  .

[WilliamPowell]

Liam Fawcett has to clunk those

[mightytiges]

Fawcett drops the mark at the last sec  and BH run it up the other end for another goal. Costly 12 point turnaround.

50 - 31

[mightytiges]

Raso crumbs and kicks his 3rd 

Rich  9.3-57
BH    5.1-31

21 min Q2


Dio would like that one also.

[WilliamPowell]

Blight isn't right

Behind play, he is really struggling with that ankle

[mightytiges]

McAuliffe to the goalsquare and Alger goals 

Rich  10.3-63
BH     5.1-31

23 min Q2

[mightytiges]

 Unselfish by Alger and squares it up to Lai 30 out. Goal! 

Rich  11.3-69
BH     5.1-31

28 min Q2

[mightytiges]

If Bauer and Fawcett held onto their marks then we'd be further in front.

[mightytiges]

Half time

Richmond    6.2    11.4-70
Box Hill        3.1     5.1-31

Goals:  Raso 3, Hayes-Brown 2, Alger 2, Lai 2, McAuliffe, Johnson.


Good response in the last 10 mins after Box Hill got back to within 19 pts.

OHB's best game by a mile so far  .

[Diocletian]

Hmm- Mansell & MRJ or Raso & Alger in the forward line right now?
