VFL R11: Richmond vs Sandringham @ Trevor Barker Beach Rd Oval, Sat. June 26

[one-eyed]

I've only been watching since half-time, Willy. RCD has two goals for the game. Dow has been okayish.

Looked like we were gone as we were playing like the seniors last night. But despite still making silly skill errors, we lifted our intensity, workrate and run through the lines (Hugo) in the last 5-10 mins to get back to within 10 points.

[Willy]

Ok. Cheers.

That was dumb terrible play all round  . Handballing blinding in hope out of the contest into the corridor at HF and Sandy rebound. We then allow a mark by the point post followed by 50. What a gift via stupidty!

59 - 76

[one-eyed]

Stack 5m asleep behind his forward opponent allows the easy chest mark when the ball drops short. Another goal to Sandy.

59 - 82

[one-eyed]

Hugo's kick across HB goes straight to a Sandy player. Our defence then allows another mark to Sandy on the goalline  .

59 - 88

This is schoolboy stuff  .

We get a ball-up 20 out and Caddy snaps a goal.

Rich     10.5-65
Sandy  13.10-88

[one-eyed]

Another missed open target forward of centre. Sandy go forward off the turnover and get 50 to give them another goal.

65 - 94

[one-eyed]

We've got hardly any talls in our VFL side. No rucks, Garth is trying to be a key forward & Miller is the only tall defender. If the opposition block our running linking game then we just breakdown all the time.

[one-eyed]

Eggy finds Parker just inside 50. Shot is touched on the line.

66 - 94

[one-eyed]

Off the ball free to Sandy in our forward line.

Maurice reported for striking.

[one-eyed]

There was niggle between Maurice jnr and #61 from Sandy started by the latter. It went for about a minute while a couple of ball-ups were occuring in our forward line. Maurice in frustration let one rip that was too high. No physical damage done but stupidly gave away a free and got himself reported.

[one-eyed]

Game over. Lost by 30 points.

Obviously ordinary after we kicked the first 3 goals of the game. Hardly to find a positive and no one really put their hand up for senior selection from the half (second) I saw.

Not much to get excited about boys unfortunately.

RCD deserves a recall played his heart out but fmd we have some average afl listed players starting with egg and garthwaite. Stack did he even play?

As for rioli well getting held at every stoppage with no Free kick,  he probably thought ive had enough of this BS.

Our VFl side plays like our seniors. Chipping it around backwards. Game plan has changed, and why i have nfi.

How did Miller go?
