Ferguson dances his way through traffic in the corridor, gets it away to Collopy, off to Borthwick, hands it back to Fergie who kept on charging, breaks into the 50, sets sail for home AND FINALLY GETS ON THE BOARD!!!!

95-44

Magnificent play from Ferguson. I wish he was 6 inches taller and 8 kilos heavier.

Now that was a nice passage of play. Ran the ball forward from basically half back with a chain of overlapping handpasses. Players still running which is good, ended in a goal. Good play.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Lachie Ferguson is as good or better as a certain hobbit.

I'm sure the Tigers player who is next in line to whack him is rapt.

Free kick to Marcon inside their forward 50, as Chol gets taken from the ground by 2 trainers, looks in some trouble...

Meanwhile, Marcon kicks the goal.

Collingwood by 56 points.

Can we really bury them from here...?
Apparently not, no.

I agree.

Only thing keeping him from a senior debut this year is a lack of a 4 quarter tank, and an inconsistent use of the ball by foot. Lack of pace and a long pecking order for midfield time may have something to do with it as well...
Absolutely right MB he does lack a 4 quarter tank.

Gray marks in the Bob Rose pocket after a nice centre clearance by Witts, but can't convert...

Samwise just picked it up, put on a burst of speed and passed beautifully to Frodo who missed the goal.

Richmond start another barney, sees them whizz it down the ground and get another cheap goal...

Valuable percentage just being piddled down the drain...

Disappointingly undisciplined, misapplied aggression this quarter. Why fight with these idiots?

They do have very punchable heads.

And I don't mind seeing a bit of it, particularly from Witts. I'd like him to play angry more often.

Kelly looking like Hulk Hogan out there. That jumper is one more broken thread away from being gone altogether.

Meanwhile, Witts pinged in the ruck, allows Bathie another shot on goal, which he converts...
