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

[WilliamPowell]

Clearly not fit enough. Fitness department still dysfunctional.

Are you talking about our VFL players?

Or AFL players?

Smillie high inside 50 and Bauer (lucky) nudges the defender and marks out the back. Goal! 

That should be the sealer. We finally woke up after McAuliffe's goal.

Rich  14.7-91
BH     9.11-65

[Tiger Khosh]

Clutch goal by Mcauliffe. We were well and truly on our way to a loss without that going in.

Siren!

Won by 25 pts

Impressed by Alger and Kmac.

Smilie looks worryingly average.

Do you get some kind of alert every time someone criticises the fitness & medical departments?

To answer your question - both.

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


Good first half. Terrible second half until the last 10 mins sparked by McAuliffe's clutch goal and who was our BOG.

Sonsie the 24th man emergency as he didn't play the last quarter by the look of it. His first half was very good.

Smith had 31 disposals off half-back.

Gray responded to being dumped. 9 intercepts. Our best defender.

Kosi actually had a decent game also as an intercepter.

Smillie solid but nothing to write home about.

OHB also was good in the first half in the ruck but didn't touch it in the second half.

Colina - pass.

Our young tall forwards were the main disappointment. Couldn't hold onto their marks tonight.

Smilie looks worryingly average.

Wasn't a fan in his draft year either and has things he needs to work on but he'll be a player soon enough - already hard to tackle and is only going to get harder to stop.

No was just curious because the 2 sides have different fitness teams.

Certa8nly agree some of the Cubs ran of legs in the last qtr, Smillie in particular

As good leaders do

Just on young Josh, and this is just my observation from watching the game live. He needs to concentrate more on playing team first footy rather Smillie first footy. When he does the team things first he looks very good, when he doesn't he looks average and dare I say it selfish. I've got no doubt with time he will get the balance right

Colina ….😢
VFL players
Razo looks lively, quick skills and opportunistic
Johnson looks OK too, nice style and delivery

[crackertiger]

Smith's 31 disposals were sideways chips and kick ins.

[JP Tiger]

Very impressed with Kmac, love that damaging left foot!  Has his faults still & that's keeping him in the seconds, but I can see a future for him.  Sonsie teases, has obvious class but falls off the cliff too often.  If he can lift his whole game up he can make it.  Razo impressive too. 
As a team we fell over the line, we ran ourselves ragged & then had to save it in the last.  I'd rather fall over the line than to blow it all day & then fall short (like Whoreforn did!).
