Yassine to White who drops a sitter directly in front .

Pie defender kicks it OOTF so Davidson has a ping from 40 on the boundary. To the goalline and rushed.

25 - 37

Sonsie is having a mare as far as turnovers . Mind you he has plenty of teammates.

Cantwell long. Cumberland crumbs in the pocket and snaps around his body. Hits the bottom of the post.

26 - 37

Frees: 12 - 19 ...... 1-5 this qtr.

Soft as! Two Tigers defenders fall over meekly and allow the Pie forward to just pick it up and goal  .

26 - 43

[one-eyed]

Maurice clearance and we get it forward and get it back straight away via White. Finally!

Rich  4.8-32

3/4 time

Richmond      3.1    3.3     4.8-32
Collingwood   3.3    5.7     6.7-43

Goals: Bauer, McAuliffe, Cumberland, White.


That quarter was 90% in our forward half but we could only kick one goal. The Pies went forward once and we gifted them a soft goal. What Dimma use to call "Richmondy" footy because we've been our own worst enemy. Heads haven't been in the game.
