VFL Game Day VFL Round 16*: Richmond vs Essendon (74-91 loss)

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Rich 61 v Ess 52. Not sure how we are still so close, feels like Richmond should be further in front at this stage.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Mutch seems to be okay, he is watching on from the boundary are looking to come back on.

 

[DERO]

Thanks for the updates Seagrave_Holmes. Possibly the best dp going around (apart from
mine).

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Corrigan with a nice expletive laden spray to the players.

 

[MarkG]

Tigers lead 73 to 52.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Forward line balance isn't there, trouble appling pressure. All the smalls at AFL level is working great but the unbalance is wrecking havok for these boys right now.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Can confirm a dozen for $6 from Woolies is better. #cost:tasteratio

But what about the cost/vein ratio?

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Howlett mark and set shot on goal, hits the post.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Frang caught holding the ball, slow to get up. Might be injured, being helped off with the trainers.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Looks like a shoulder injury.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Lmao Morris tries to tackle Langford and he just gets brushed away and ragdolls himself along the ground.

Frang caught holding the ball, slow to get up. Might be injured, being helped off with the trainers.

Looks like a shoulder injury.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Francis moving around okay now, seems to be okay. Looked like a shoulder the way the physios were keeping his arm very still coming off.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Goal tuggers. Francis warming up along the boundary.

 

[MarkG]

79 to 54 Tigers way. Dons finding it hard going.

 

[MarkG]

79 to 60

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

The lighting seems so inadequate, it's bloody hard to see what is happening on the far side. GOAL to Howlett. FRANCIS BACK ON THE GROUND.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Goal tiges.

 

[MarkG]

85 to 60.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Hep A with two big tackles this quarter. Looks like he thrives on the hard stuff.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Some our f50 entries have been so bad tonight.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Time to hide Boyse for the draft.

 

[Yoda_]

What a let down. Howlett hadno help to combat the big bodied Tigers midfielderd they had (Townsend, Ballard etc).

Smashed on the inside, inadequate on the outside, poor ball use through the middle of the ground.

Pros. Draper continues to make strides. Like his ork rate and competitiveness
Francis virtually unscathed
McNeice solid
Morgan and Long got through
Mabior Chol is a spud

Cons?
Plenty

Anyone that could push up to the seniors next week?

Anyone that could push up to the seniors next week?

Howlett, Langford. Maybe Gleeson
