Richmond vs GWS - Round 3, 2019

[mightytiges]

Higgins to Balta to Cotch goes long. Kmac to Graham but the kick is cut off 20 out. Giants clear.

And here's the prob. They go forward far too easily once we lose possession.

We get it back. Graham to Ellis in the middle but it's messy and it's a loose ball. Turnover. This time they goal.

24 - 22

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

Grahams sloppy disposal hurting us this qtr.

[mightytiges]

Cotch free in the centre. To Lambert. short kick to Dusty. Out into space. Kmac fumbles. Butler banana but it's intercepted. We get it back. Deep forward. Markov tackled. Ball-up. Cotch to lambert on 50. Long to Lynch who gets his hands to it. Called a chop of the arms. Goal! 

Rich  4.6-30
GWS  3.4-22

[mightytiges]

The difference this year to the past is we aren't getting the surge of numbers to clean up mistakes. Once it's turned over we are split open.

Dusty short to Higgins but he's tackled. Rioli ordinary kick to Lambert. Graham fumbles. Giants clear.


Good work Astbury. Behind to the Giants.

30 - 23

[mightytiges]

Ump pulls a off the ball free against Dusty behind centre just as we were kicked in. So the Giants get a gift goal from the goalsquare  .

30 - 29

[mightytiges]

These umps have no idea. Whistle happy.

Nank free in the centre for an off the ball incident. However the Giants gain possession from their defence and once again easily slice through us for a goal.

30 - 35

[mightytiges]

Ump pays them another free from the restart and no one knows why.

Cotch to Lynch but it's to the shoelaces. Kmac to Dusty but his curling kick is a point.

They go coast to coast for a point.

31 - 36


SEN saying Dusty apparently gave the middle finger to someone.

[mightytiges]

Another to them. Danger time.

31 - 42

[mightytiges]

A bit of hard footy. Rioli full tilt at Davis causes the spill. Prestia finds George. But he misses. That's 7 straight point to George at this ground  .

32 - 42


Rioli helped off the ground.

[mightytiges]

The Giants have launched 5 inside 50's from 12 defensive chains, which has been converted into (3.2.20) from this source.

Stack nice composure to Nank. Chip to Lambert. Back to Astbury. Stack to broad to Kmac across the ground. Keeping possession across half-back. We had an overlap but Markov steps over the mark and holds us up. Kick them results in a throw-in.

GWS go forward but Stack saves the day. Passes to Graham who drops it and gifts the Giants a goal .

32 - 48

[Tiger Khosh]

Changes for next week:

Out: Jack Graham

[Damo]

Sydney Stack has been fantastic

[mightytiges]

The Tigers have converted just 33 per cent of shots on goal this quarter, compared to 80 per cent for the Giants.

Markov out of the centre to Prestia 55 out. Goes to Nank but it's spoiled for a throw-in. Giants scrub it to the 50. Kmac gathers but it's over the line. Nank gets the free from the throw-in. Rushed.

33 - 48

[Francois Jackson]

Jack graham and squib can get stuffed

3 goals now to GWS because of these 2

[mightytiges]

Giants now doing a Collingwood and chipping it up the ground to keep the ball off us.

Floss at HB. Gets to Broad. Ordinary kick to Kmac and it's turned over.

Broad intercepts thanks to balta's pressure. In board to Markov across to Ellis who then kicks it straight OOTF .

That sums up this qtr for us. Geez we've butchered it  .

Point to them.

33 - 49
