Round 12 - Collingwood vs Richmond at Victoria Park

[MagpieBat]

Goodyear gathers in traffic on the outer wing, tosses it onto the boot, Caff running with it, marks!

Plays on, centres, LANE with a nice contested grab at 50!

Decides to play on, as well, kicks across the arc, finds Rambaldi!

From 45m, 35d... GOAL!!!

59-23

Half Time.

Collingwood 9.5.59
Richmond 3.5.23

GOALS - Howe 3, Moloney 2, Rambaldi, Borthwick, Hellier, Gray

[stui magpie]

McCaffer is getting a bit of the ball, had a hand in that last goal with a nice pass but unlike the Sack I can't help but think he's not got it to get back into the AFL side.

[MagpieBat]

Collingwood lead by 36 points, as we start the 2nd half here at a cool and overcast Victoria Park...

[MagpieBat]

Borthwick's down, took a clout to the face in a marking contest...

[MagpieBat]

Borthwick shoos the trainers away like pidgeons as the ball comes to him, an errant kick from Matt Smith, Gussy marks.

Kicks a wobbler from wing to HFF, Gault has to fist away as a defender, comes to Goodyear, flicks it across to Oxley on 50, Ox lets fly with a DAGGER... GOAL!!!

65-23

magpiebat do u see witts playing seniors again

[MagpieBat]

Witts has been okay, but as is customary of late, he's not up against much.

Indeed, this is the weakest VFL ruck division he's faced in his now 5 games this year.

I just can't see him playing seniors again while Grundy and Cox are producing the way they are...

[MagpieBat]

Bathie marks in front of Goldsack... but misses near enough to 30m out DIF...

65-24

[MagpieBat]

Witts marks 40 out DIF but misses...

66-24

[MagpieBat]

Rambaldi receives on the 50 from Macaffer, jams it on the boot, WILLS FLIES FOR A SCREAMER, doesn't get anywhere near it, play on, comes down to Hellier, the skipper pokes it on the boot... GOAL!!!

72-24

I'll support that. I like Witts, he's dominating the tap outs but when you look at Cox and grundy, particularly how Grundy played on Friday, Grundy is in front as first ruck and Cox is in front as second ruck playing mainly forward.

Doesn't mean I reckon we should trade him or stamp his papers, but right now he's behind in the pecking order.

He needs to up his involvement around the ground

[MagpieBat]

Golds is down behind the play, looks in a bit of pain...

[stui magpie]

And right on cue, Witts comes off the bench to interrupt a Tigers 2 on 1 with a nice piece of body work. He's had his angry pills today big Wittsy, great to see.
