VFL R2: Richmond vs Sandringham @ Trevor Barker Beach Oval

[one-eyed]

Need to win it at the source and even up the centre clearances. We are always starting attacks from defence, losing our structure forward of the ball and kicking it to where they have their spare.

Steve Morris praised Sonsie's game so far (9 possies - four ahead of any other Tiger).

Rushed point to us. Olden collided with the post but is ok.

16 - 24

Free to Sandy but no one knows what it's for?  Gifts them a goal.

16 - 30

Somethings never change. Umpires are dumb campaigners.

The only stuffwit that thought that was a free kick is the halfwit geek wearing yellow

Beaten in the contests at HF and then poor defending. Another goal to them.

16 - 36

We're trying to play dry weather footy in the wet   .

Sandy playing wet weather footy - win the ball at the source, gain territory and play in front.

Clarke with almost a freak goal from the pocket. Hits the post.

17 - 37

Another goal to them.

Our VFL midfield is poo also.

Sonsie can get the ball but is a liability at stoppages.  Just spectates.

Clever kick off the side of the boot by Hicks to Bartlett. Set shot from 40. Stabs at it and misses.

18 - 44

He didn't miss it fell 10m short.  Woeful effort.

Free downfield for an off the ball incident. RCD from 40 doesn't make the distance. Rushed through.

Sandy almost gift a chance from the grubber kick-in but we can't take it.

Half-time

Richmond         2.3      2.7-19
Sandringham    4.0      7.2-44

We've been given a lesson in wet weather footy today. Stats may show equal scoring shots and inside 50s but we're playing dumb in the wet whereas Sandy are making the most of the conditions.

Yep and got through everyone. Ok say it was rushed.

RCD gets his 10th possession courtesy of a down field free Kicks from inside 50 but doesn't make the distance.

At least he is finding more of the ball
