[Buddysucks]

By hand and foot our skills are bad.

Campbell 

Rich  12.8-80
Carl  12.13-85


That was gift to us from the Blues.

[mightytiges]

Taranto out the middle and Bakes gets the mark/free on 50. MIsses

81 - 85

[mightytiges]

How was that advantage?

Baker has killed us

Cheats

[Knighter]

Game is stuffed. Umps are fing cheats. I’ve officially checked out

[Simonator]

Really good effort from the boys. It’s a tough night for the club with gibcus going down.

Seriously don’t see bolton as a part of our future.
Going to be a long season with gibcus’ injury re structuring our team

[pmac21]

I get the feeling were going to have many fighting losses this year, not many wins. 

[Buddysucks]

Ballsy effort tonight, but geez, some of our decision making and basic skills are putrid.

[Wazza]

Better showing than last week. Injuries and concussion did us in as outlr structure got destoyed. Although is it just me or was it everytime we got moving the whistle come back into play??

[wayne]

Sound like a broken record, but fing umps.

80m penalty, Kamdyn arm chopped, even the Balta in the back, he didn't actually fall onto him...

[The Machine]

Must acknowledge the huge performance by the boys. To run out the game with nothing left in the tank was impressive. We played a great style tonight and if not for those multiple injuries, we win the game.

[Simonator]

Umpiring was bad but please don’t complain, we were gifted goals too

Final Score

Richmond   5.2     7.4      11.7     12.9-81
Carlton       3.3     6.9      9.11    12.14-86

Goals: Balta 3, Lynch 2, Martin 2, Short, M.Rioli, Baker, Taranto, Campbell.


Gutsy to fight it out and we had our chances to win it but our failure to do the basics (skills and tackling) well and often enough just kills us. The injuries especially an ACL to Gibcus just makes the loss hurt more.
