VFL R16: Richmond vs Southport @ Frankston Oval, Sat. July 12

[one-eyed]

Being butchering the ball over the last 5 mins.

Somehow we still get it forward. Wilson finally hits Pollocks 35 out. Goal! 

Rich  8.0-48
SP    3.6-24

13 min Q2

[one-eyed]

Last two goals to Southport.

48 - 36

Getting smashed in the ruck. We only have one so when OHB is resting we have no answer (trying first gamer Hanson as 2nd ruck).

[one-eyed]

Rushed point. Our first behind.

49 - 37

[one-eyed]

Another goal to Southport. Again starting from a stoppage clearance. OHB even getting owned in the ruck this quarter.

49 - 43

Half time

Richmond    6.0    8.1-49
Southport    2.4    6.7-43

Goals: Green 2, Girolami 2, Pollocks 2, Street, Toner.


As mentioned we got owned in the ruck/clearances that quarter. Just outworked. From there our skills fell apart  . Our AFL-listed players as much to blame  .

Scott misses on the run from 45.

50 - 43

[one-eyed]

Our handballing  . Handballing behind your teammate or to their feet .

And then we give away a dumb 50 and gift them a goal  .

50 - 49

[one-eyed]

Umps don't know how to bounce the ball today.

[one-eyed]

Southport in front.

No one front and square when we went inside 50. They rebound for a goal  . Not doing the basics  .

50 - 55

[one-eyed]

Lucky they are missing. Sharks should be 4 goals up.

50 - 59

[one-eyed]

Another simple missed target inside our F50 plus a dumb 50 and Southport run it down the other end for another goal 

And they get another two. Running away now.

50 - 77


Since the 13 minute mark of the 2nd qtr, the match has shown we have so few AFL players playing plus a bunch of VFL newbies. None of our AFL players are mids either to change the flow of the game.

[one-eyed]

Guiney inside 50 and  Girolami marks 35 out. Siren. Kick after. Goal! 

57 - 77

3/4 time

Southport    2.4    6.7   11.11-77

Goals: Girolami 3, Green 2, Pollocks 2, Street, Toner.


Aside from Blight's intercept marks nothing positive. Owned again that quarter. Structure completely fell apart. No numbers at the fall of the contest.
