Great scheduling - NOT! 

Mind you there's a strong chance we'll have no AFL-listed Tigers playing given our long injury list  .

We've made a late change for tonight's match against the Blues, with Billy Cooper coming in for Angus Hicks (calf tightness).

It sounds like a Carlton feed. They keep talking about the Blues that has nothing to do with the game.

[one-eyed]

Good mark by Archie May 20m out. Misses though.

1 - 7

[one-eyed]

McDonagh long to the contest. Bilston-McGillen front and square snaps a goal  .

Rich  1.1-7
Carl  1.1-7

Street long to the hot spot. Brindley blocked out of the contest and gets the free 25m out. Another sitter missed  .

8 all.

[one-eyed]

Skills are terrible. Long kick inside 50 and it over the top and bounces through for a point.

9 - 8

[one-eyed]

Good transition. Linked up by hand and got to 55 and Trezise goes long and it bounces through for a goal  .

Rich  2.3-15
Carl   1.2-8

20 mins Q1

Quarter time

Richmond   2.3-15
Carlton       1.4-10

Goals: Bilston-McGillen, Trezise.


We have no forward structure most of the time. If we can't run it we end up kicking it long to either no one or 1 vs 4.

To be fair though, Carlton have 12 AFL-listed players tonight to only our 4.

Clearances:  8 - 13

Clear HTB. Blues player dragged it in. Not paid  .

Skills by both sides are dreadful. Never seen so many simple marks dropped .
