Bump.

Just started.

11 AFL-Tigers including Hugo and Miller.

[one-eyed]

Cumberland across to Ross 50 out. His kick goes to the goalsquare where Bradtke takes the contested mark. Goal! 

Rich  1.0-6
NB    0.0-0

[one-eyed]

Clarke through the centre kicks nicely to the fat side where Faimalo leads and marks. Chips to Tedcastle. Goal! 

Rich  2.0-12
NB    0.0-0

[one-eyed]

Ross taps it to bypass his opponent in the centre hands off to Clarke who finds White but he tries to much rather than give it off and his shot misses.

We get it back from the kick-in and Bradtke marks. Goal! His 2nd.

Rich  3.1-19
NB    0.0-0

Cumberland tackling really well

[one-eyed]

White intercepts on 50 the poor Bullant kick out of defence. He kicks to the square. The Bullants rush it through and are penalised for deliberate for being outside the 9m and under no pressure. Freebie shot for Lachie Johnson = goal! 

Rich  4.1-25
NB    0.0-0

[one-eyed]

Another poor defensive clearing kick by the Bullants is swept up by Miller who runs to 50 and dobs it 

Rich  5.1-31
NB    0.0-0

[one-eyed]

The Bullants are actually winning the centre clearances and this time they get an easy mark and goal from one.

31 - 6

[one-eyed]

Another bad defensive turnover by the Bullants. It gets eventually to Ross in the pocket who dodges an opponent and then snap one through  .

Rich  6.1-37
NB    1.0-6

[pmac21]

Umpiring heavily favouring them.

Clarke to Dow who finds Tedcastle. Oddly tries passing it across to Hugo rather than taking the shot and it's spoiled. Chance gone.

We get it back. Street hits up Bradtke on the lead but it's a free off the ball to the Bullants. Another blown chance.


Bullants go down the other end. El Nour takes a good defensive mark but makes the old school sin of kicking across the goal and turns it over. Lucky the 'Ants miss a sitter.

37 - 7

Umpiring heavily favouring them.

Like yesterday, Richmond players don't have a head to earn too high frees or dangerous tackles.
