Half time

Richmond     2.1    6.2-38
North Melb.   6.0    7.1-43

Goals: Campbell 2, Lalor 2, Sims, Ralphsmith


Lifted our workrate especially around the stoppages. Our pressure rating for that quarter was a whopping 270. That's what got us back in the game. That quarter was played mostly in our forward half. We should actually be in front if not for that late soft goal to Norf.

Mykelti just kicked a goal in the VFL

[mat073]

That was probably the best quarter we have played all year.

Shame about the late goal

[Simonator]

Blown Lots of easy chances.

Hugo can run a lot faster in attack, happy to plod along in defence

[Buddysucks]

Ben Miller is the softest big man on the planet!!!

[Andyy]

Our ground defending is so crap

Even on the scoreboard but we allowed their ground level crumbers to win too many loose balls that quarter. We didn't kill the ball when we should have.

Zurhaar getting his annual tiger fisting per usual.

Yep. Does nothing all year except against us.

Five of the six goals in the third quarter came from stoppages (the other came from a kick-in). North Melbourne continues to have the better of clearances (11-8 in the third quarter), and leads 45-30 in points scored from stoppages. The AFL average is 34 points per game from stoppages.

Richmond has had five shots at goal from beyond the 50-metre line today, with four of these resulting in behinds and one attempt failing to score. North Melbourne has scored one goal from three such long-range attempts.

Statistically his average goals/game is more than twice as high vs us than everyone else for his career.

Kmac puts us in front 

66 - 65
