It was a cold Friday night at the MCG as these 2 teams lined up to play, Carlton sitting 2nd on the ladder with 9 wins, 2 losses, against Richmond sitting last with 2 wins and 9 losses.
In the first qtr, it was all Carlton with Rhys-Jones kicking a couple of goals, giving Carlton a good lead at qtr time, 5.6.36 to 1.4.10
The 2nd qtr was a more dour struggle, with a bit less scoring, and at half time, Carlton led 7.12.54 to 4.10.34. Carlton still seemed to be in control, but after half time, all that was about to change.............
In the 3rd qtr, a change came over this game, and Carlton found themselves under more and more pressure, and Richmond were able to hit the scoreboard, and at the last change, Richmond led 9.18.72 to 9.16.70
Would Richmond be able to go on with this, or would Carlton prove to be too strong.........
It would prove to be the former, with Richmond running riot in the final qtr to kick 6.2 tp 3.5 to record a very impressive 17 point win, 15.20.110 to 12.21 93 in fromt of just 19,548 people.
goal scorers:
Hogg, Pym 3
Mitchell, Nicholls 2
Weightman, Mckellar, Ryan, M Pickering, J Pickering 1
Best players: Free, Weightman, Honeybun, Pym, Nicholls, Palm
Richmond would go onto finish with 8 wins for season 1988, to finish in 10th spot, after being wooden spooners in 1987.
I have been trying to find footage of this game for over 3 years now, it was shown on delay by ch 7 on the night, into Melbourne. I have exhausted all avenues, i have tried ch 7, the 2 competing clubs, the afl, name a game/sports delivered, youtube, torrents.
If anyone has an old tape somewhere with this game, i would really love to hear from you, i can convert old tapes to dvd very easily.
Any assistance would be very much appreciated.
thank you
