VFL R11: Richmond vs Sydney @ Beaconsfield, Sat. June 7

[Simonator]

Really hope it’s not a knee for Clarke. Don’t know if it’s the same knee, regardless he had done a diligent rehab. Some knees just can’t handle afl. Poor guy

[one-eyed]

And they ping another from the boundary.

39 - 26

The Swans are now lifting because we kept them in the game with our pathetic goalkicking and ill-discipline .

Inside 50s  31 - 14

Frees   6 - 13

[one-eyed]

They are now winning the contested ball and get another  .

39 - 32

He's done both knees previously

One in under 18's and then the opposite one last year

Half-time

Richmond   3.7    5.9-39
Sydney       0.1    5.3-33

Goals: Alger 2, Bauer, Clarke, Fawcett.

Pathetic last time 10 mins but when we collectively have poor goalkicking and tackling technique  we only have ourselves to blame that the game wasn't put away in the first 45 mins.

And we're down to just two on the bench with Gray and Clarke both off the ground injured  and Trezise likely now being the 24th man for the seniors and won't be playing in the second half.

Clarke on crutches with ice on his right knee according to the commentators.

[Diocletian]

2 players down ...or 3 if you count Colina....

[one-eyed]

Alger burst through but dribbled a kick when he could have run off or dished it off. Another miss!

41 - 33

[one-eyed]

Street passes inside 50 and Rioli chips in to mark in front of Fawcett 45 out. Goal! 

Rich  6.11-47
Syd   5.3-33

That wouldn't have been spoiled Fawcett if you had your arms out-stretched rather than going for the chest mark.

Trezise makes a howler in the middle.

Swans run it down for an easy goal 

47 - 39

The simple schoolboy errors are what are killing us today  .
