[No More]

Must win game!

For a doctor your intelligence seems to have taken a hit since you became a regular poster on OER.

Well done Doc 

[🏅Dooks]

Really hoping 2-3 players on the list stand up in a big way today and announce themselves for selection contention for next week. Would be nice to get a win too

[WilliamPowell]

Tigers off to a good start

11 mins in Tigers 2.2.14
Footscray 0.0.00

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Soldo's years away if he makes it at all.....Blicavs he ain't...

We'd better make recruiting a tall, athletic, high-leaping ruckman our number one priority this year then. Because as great as he's been, it's pretty obvious that Maric is in decline.

We have one but all he can do is tap the ball. On the flip side, he'd help avoid the clearance work by the opposition which killed us last night. Do think Ivvy looked injured

Dominated first 15 mins of the first qtr but couldn't put it on the scoreboard. We missed 5 set shots  .

And the Dogs make us pay by getting two quick ones against the breeze.

Rich  2.5-17
WB   2.1-13

24 mins Q1

Lloyd and Wynne has our goals.

[WilliamPowell]

Ripper from Ben Lennon

Tigers 23

29 mins Q1

[mightytiges]

Gift from Dale Morries. KIcked across the goal and hit the point post on the full lol.

[WilliamPowell]

1/4 time

Tigers 3.5.23
Dogs 2.1.13

Really should be 3-4 goals missed some easy ones

[mightytiges]

Quarter time

Richmond    3.5-23
Footscray    2.1-13

Goals:  Lloyd, Lennon, Wynne

Still not much to crow about as far as those looking to be promoted to the AFL side. Sloppy skills at crucial moments. McDonough and Newy probably our best so far.

Possies:
McDonough  10
Cachia         10

Agree with WP. Should be further in front. We'll see how we go against the breeze. Ball is holding up kicking towards the Brunton Ave end.

[mightytiges]

Geez we have some dumb footballers playing in our VFL side.

Dogs now in front.

Rich  23
Foot 27

9 mins Q2

[mightytiges]

First time forward in ages and it's rushed through.

Umps giving us nothing either in the last 5 mins.

24 - 34

20 mins Q2

[mightytiges]

We gain possession from the kick-in and we force it forward and McDonough clever tap to Beany who chips it through from the goalsquare.

Rich  4.6-30
Foot  5.4-34

[mightytiges]

Shocking fumble by a Dog defender and McKenzie gives it over to McDonough (15 possies) who runs in for the easiest of goals.

Back in front!

Rich  36
Foot 34

[mightytiges]

Dumb defending making Cordy look like a star .

36 - 41

30 mins Q2

[mightytiges]

Half-time

Richmond   3.5    5.6-36
Footscray   2.1    6.5-41

Goals: Lloyd, Lennon, McBean, McDonough, Wynne


At least we're competitive so far today. Fought back well in that mid-late period of the 2nd qtr.
McDonough our best of the AFL-listed Tigers.
Commentators praising Dea but for all his good most of the time, he coughs it badly when he does turn it over. I've never been a fan.

Possies:
Cachia  18
McDonough  14
Dea   12
Newy 8 up to the 20 min Q2 mark.
