SIREN

Box Hill player kicks a goal and they win

[one-eyed]

Umps took a while to confer but they said the Box Hill kick was right on the siren and the ball bounced through for a goal 

Final Score

[one-eyed]

Gilly's inexperience was costly unfortunately. He had the ball at HF with 15 secs to go and instead of holding it up he bombed it forward to only Box Hill players as Coburg had flooded back and the Hawks rebounded easily and kicked a goal right on the siren.

Can you believe it! Two losses on siren within a month

Its starting to become clear why Richmond was 1-8 at the start of the year.

Commentators thoughts on RFC players:

Schulz - Gawn!

Polak - Good early but faded. Maybe a fitness issue due to his comeback. Long way to go before he plays AFL. Needs to find consistency but it's a bonus everytime he gets through a game.

Rance - Very good. A star. Goes hard at the footy and takes them on.

Graham - Good but colours lowered to Robert Campbell in the ruck

Simmonds -  Gawn! Kicked goals today but around the ground won't play AFL again.

Thomson - Solid. Mixed feelings as he isn't noticeable being mainly inside packs. Not getting a game in a side playing youngsters isn't a good sign.

Richo - Hammy in first 5 minutes. Ran back into defence and then had to run back forward and did it then.

Raines - Okay. Good when he had the ball however he's not that good 1-on-1.

Bowden - Very good today

Tuck - Pretty good

Cogs - Nearly gawn.

They didn't mention Gilligan.

[Jackstar is back]

would think that Polak would have to get a game soon, he was very good today

[one-eyed]

What was Alex Rance's kicking like today?

Sounded okay listening to the commentary (no mention of howlers or turnovers from Alex) but people at the game would be able to give a proper answer. The commentators loved Rance. In Coburg's bests along with Joel.

[Jackstar is back]

thought Graham was just
Bowden was good
Reason Polak got tired is he  had a go from the first bounce, tried to Push Forward at all costs

[Ramps]

Bowden should come back into the seniors for RFC.
