Maurice now on.

[one-eyed]

Terrible defending at the defensive throw-in. No one defensive side and a Pie waltzes into an open goal .

19 - 27

[one-eyed]

We're trying to play dry weather footy in the wet. Back to being totally clueless again like the first quarter .

[one-eyed]

That's just embarrassing  . About 5 schoolboy mistakes in a row including simply not putting your body behind the ball and running over it. This is stuff you learn in Auskick  .

19 - 34

[one-eyed]

The number of times we are allowing Collingwood's long down the line kicks to go over the back is doing my head in  .

[one-eyed]

Collingwood playing smart long direct wet weather footy.

Richmond dumb trying to link with short handballs in the wet and fumbling and going nowhere  .

[one-eyed]

We finally shovel the ball forward but Bauer's snap misses.

20 - 35

[one-eyed]

George very lucky to get a free 50 out after trying to be cute in the wet. Hands off to Cumberland who misses.

21 - 37

[one-eyed]

Half time

Richmond      3.1    3.3-21
Collingwood   3.3    5.7-37

Goals: Bauer, McAuliffe, Cumberland.


Don't bother coming out for the second half Richmond if you are going to dish up that lazy, undisciplined and moronic crap in the wet  .

Marlion on in the 3rd qtr for the first time today.

At game, tough to watch.

[one-eyed]

Clarkson intercepts 60 out. Goes to the hot spot and Cumberland marks in the pack 20 out directly in front. Misses a sitter  .

22 - 37

[one-eyed]

Ball-up 60 out. Cumberland bursts through and goes long from 50 but misses again.

23 - 37
