It is still part of our membership package Taz but no idea how it works with the cap on crowds
We are supposed to receive an email with details. I'm guessing it will be tomorrow or late today :-\

Redemption time after last year's debacle against them.

WHO WILL WIN AND WHY? THE TIPS AND PREDICTIONS FOR ROUND 2
Andrew Slevison
SEN
24 March 2021
Hawthorn v Richmond
Both Hawthorn and Richmond kicked off 2021 in winning style last weekend.
The Hawks looked dead and buried last Saturday night but somehow fought back from a 39-point half-time deficit to beat their arch nemesis Essendon by a point.
The Tigers had a fight on their hands in the traditional season opener against Carlton but customarily kicked away late to claim a 25-point triumph to get their three-peat pursuit off to a desired start.
In this fixture last year, the Hawks looked like world beaters when they trounced the Tigers by 32 points at the MCG. Plenty of water has flown under the bridge since then, however, with Damien Hardwick’s men claiming a third flag in four years while Alastair Clarkson’s side had to settle for a lowly finish of 15th.
But 2021 presents a new challenge for both clubs as Richmond strive for three in a row and the Hawks look to recoil from a five-win season.
The Tigers, and Dustin Martin, turned it on when they needed to against the Blues and will only be better for the run.
They will be buoyed by the return of captain Trent Cotchin and as is normally the case of late, their system and overall quality should see them through.
The Hawks were brave last weekend but would need to step up to another level here.
Tip: Richmond by 22 points

Melbourne Cricket Club chief executive Stuart Fox has outlined a key change to the match day experience to be rolled out for the second round.
Footy fans planning to attend any of the five games in Melbourne and Geelong this weekend will be required to download the Service Victoria app and check in before going through the gate.
“We’re encouraging everyone to do that now, before the game, rather than when they get to the game,” Fox told SEN’s Whateley.
“Everyone will need to scan a QR code coming in.
“Obviously there’s concern about getting fans in before the first bounce, (so) I strongly encourage people to get to all the games across Victoria earlier than normal.
“If you’re turning up 20 minutes prior, we can’t guarantee you getting in quickly and before the first bounce.”
Fox confirmed attendees won’t be allowed through the turnstiles without checking in through the app.
“We will need to be checking that. If everyone can help us there, we will avoid congestion at gates,” Fox asked of supporters.
“We have seen it at stadiums, people not being able to get in before the first bounce.
“We just need people to help us with that part, and we’re hopeful we can get everyone in (on time).”

Same thing happening with Pies and Blues fans. Only 55-60k expected.

We could get a bigger crowd than Friday night if the Tiger Army takes up all the remaining public tickets.

Redemption time after last year's debacle against them.
Absolutely. It was our worst game last year by a mile. We just allowed them to run around without any pressure. No reason for us to be complacent this time around. We saw the Hawks' best (3rd qtr) and worst (2nd qtr) last week against Essendon so there should be no surprise in how they will try to play against us. Switch off and they run forward freely yet apply pressure and they'll struggle to score. We'll also need a defensive forward on Will Day who reads the play well for them across HB.

3) Download the Service Victoria app before you arrive at the venue

51,723 at the Pies-Blues game tonight. Interesting to see if we get more than that on Sunday.
-
Reckon T Lynch will kick 6+ goals Sunday
-
All about bringing the pressure today which is not what we did last year when we played the Hawks.
-
Good smother. Lambert to Rioli 40 out. Misses.
0 - 1
-
Great pressure so far.
Balta long to the goalsquare. Lynch contests and Jack crumbs a goal :gotigers.
Rich 1.1-7
Haw 0.0-0
-
Bolts intercepts Will Day's pass 45 out. Misses.
8 - 1
-
From the Hawks kick-in, Balta good mark 70 out. Gets 50. Goal! :gotigers
Rich 2.2-14
Haw 0.1-1
-
Had to laugh at Garry Lyon saying the Hawthorn key forwards are young when Balta is the same age.
-
Great pressure again. Jack feeds off it. Long to Lynch = Goal! :gotigers
Rich 3.2-20
Haw 0.1-1
-
Impey heard footsteps then :yep.
Rioli misses from 45.
21 - 1
-
Dumb decision making in the last 5 mins.
Pickett having a mare.
22 - 1
-
We should be 6-7 goals up. We are muppets going forward and getting really sick of it.
8-3 free kicks against also, umpiring pathetic so far
-
Hawks goal thanks to our dumb footy. Bombing it blindly to Lynch. Pickett really struggling.
Hopefully we've switched back on as we hit back out of the centre to Aarts who spins and goals.
Rich 4.4-28
Haw 1.1-7
-
8-3 free kicks against also, umpiring pathetic so far
Loving the Hawthorn throws ... oh ... I mean handpasses ::).
-
Quarter time
Richmond 4.4-28
Hawthorn 1.1-7
Goals: Lynch, Riewoldt, Balta, Aarts.
Excellent first 10 mins. Great pressure and we slammed on 3 quick goals. Then got ahead of ourselves thinking this is too easy and became lazy offensively just bombing it forward and choosing the wrong option elsewhere. Dimma will blast them in the huddle for that last 10 mins.
-
Cotchin butchering the ball
-
Cotch has turned it over a about 5 times by foot. Needs to clean up his Disposal.
-
Cotchin butchering the ball
Beat me to it. :thumbsup
-
Cotchin butchering the ball
Very rusty.
Pickett having a mare so far. Fumbling and off his man.
-
Grrr. Missing gettable shot.
29 - 13
-
Lambert free 65 out. Puts it up and Lynch good strong hands in front. Goal! :gotigers
That's better.
Rich 5.5-35
Haw 2.1-13
-
Everytime Cotchin gets it he turns it over
-
Silly mistakes. Dropping simple marks.
One too many possies stuffed up that chance too.
36 - 13
-
Graham would like to take back his last two minutes. Dropped mark and then slipped over.
-
We're taking the pee here.
-
Caddy free 40 out. Chips it sideways to Dusty who does the same to Nank. Misses.
Not sure why Dusty passed it.
37 - 13
Keeping the Hawks in it with these misses.
-
This sounds alarmist but what the hell are we doing. Playing like absolute millionaires
-
No look handball by Edwards straight a Hawks player for a goal. We are playing way too cute.
-
Lairising and not doing the bread and butter stuff :banghead.
37 - 19
-
Better control of the footy going forward. George goal :gotigers.
Rich 6.7-43
Haw 3.1-19
-
Cotchin butchering the ball
Very rusty.
Pickett having a mare so far. Fumbling and off his man.
Agree. Pickett will be dropped if he keeps this up.
-
More lazy dumb forward entries :banghead. Kicking to 1-vs-3 :banghead. Giving them rebound goal opportunities all the time :banghead.
43 - 25
-
Out of the centrebounce nice kick by Bolts to Jack. Goal! :gotigers
Rich 7.7-49
Haw 4.1-25
-
Struggling to win a around the ground clearance. They aren't going away. 18 points up.
-
We are gifting them easy goals :thumbsdown.
-
Thanks Dusty. Always there when we need him to. Straight out of the middle and bangs it through :gotigers.
Rich 8.7-55
Haw 5.1-31
-
Again the ball is allowed to just waltz out of our F50 for a set shot to the Hawks. Lucky they missed.
-
That last play sums us up. Poor inside 50 entry with no pressure. 23 points at half time. Feels like we could be 63 up.
C'mon tigs, let's crush them in the 2nd half
-
There is no point blasting it inside 50 on top of the key forwards head if we don’t have anyone front and square. It’s coming out of our F50 way too easy.
-
Half-time
Richmond 4.4 8.7-55
Hawthorn 1.1 5.2-32
Goals: Lynch 2, Riewoldt 2, Martin, Balta, Aarts, Castagna.
Playing too casually and too cute.
Most of our inside F50 entries have been lazy bombs.
Forward half pressure non-existent so it's turned into a rebounding game which is keeping Hawthorn in it. Most of our goals that quarter were from centre clearances rather than our usual forward-half turnover game.
-
I’m not sure why we choose to chip it around inside 50 when not required. It’s overuse and overuse brings mistakes. Sometimes that unselfish team play is overdone.

That tackles inside F50 stat is telling. Just one tackle in a whole half is not us playing our normal way.
Hopefully Dimma gave the boys a rocket at half-time to re-focus and fix our F50 entries and forward pressure.
-
Get the skipper off.
-
Can we stop kicking it straight to Hawk defenders :banghead.
-
Three straight kicks inside 50 that went to Hawk defenders or their advantage. Every time the Tiger is out of position rushing to try to get to the contest so why is the ball going there?!
-
Senior players. Cotchin, Jack, Pretia, Lynch time to bloody stand up. Playing soft footy
-
Tackling pressure right off
-
Dropping sitters :facepalm. Geez we are really ordinary today. Lucky they missed.
-
Dusty to Jack 40 out. Misses.
56 - 33
-
Back to 16, in trouble I reckon.
-
Dimma not happy and rightly so.
-
No movement whatsoever out there. Dumb options and dumb execution.
-
No movement whatsoever out there. Dumb options and dumb execution.
Our first score in 25 minutes?
-
Why are we kicking it to Hawthorn players? :banghead
-
Win a contest at half forward for poo sake. Otherwise don't kick it there.
-
Hawthorn gift us a turnover at half-forward and George goals :gotigers.
Rich 9.8-62
Haw 6.3-39
-
What a crap quarter! Thank gawd for the siren.
-
Aarts and Rioli 9 disposals between them. Not good enough when we are getting smashed across half forward. Not competing.
-
3/4 time
Richmond 4.4 8.7 9.8-62
Hawthorn 1.1 5.2 6.3-39
Goals: Lynch 2, Riewoldt 2, Castagna 2, Martin, Balta, Aarts.
-
Don't like Edwards in defence. I'd play Cotchin there before him. He's too creative.
-
When you are turning over the ball so much the team becomes reluctant to run off their man to create options. It's been 1-on-1 footy and we were so stagnant that quarter. No run from behind. No handball receives breaking lines. Need to lift big time.
-
Only our 2nd inside 50 tackle gives Rioli the HTB free. Misses again. That's 3 behinds today.
63 - 39
-
Wrong option again :banghead. Free man to the right and we ignore him and run ourselves into trouble and turn it over :banghead.
-
Doesn't Dusty want to take set shots today?
Off to Jack 35 out. Goal! :gotigers
Rich 10.9-69
Haw 6.4-40
-
Geez we've butchered chances today.
-
What sort of kick was that Sheds?
-
Dusty too smart for that. Off to Jack in the square = Goal! :gotigers
Rich 11.9-75
Haw 6.4-40
-
I know it's Dusty and he's a stuff but Bolts why kick it long and high to a 1-vs-2 when the extra Hawk is their tall ruckman?
-
Geez we've been off today with our decision making. Why Pickett take a set shot from the boundary rather than the around the body kick on his right?
-
We got the win but I'm disappointed with what we have served up today. We've let a percentage boosting opportunity really slip today. It seems that we just want to do enough to win but we don't like to put sides to the sword.
-
Every year we see our forward fifty entries butchered squandering our chances for 50+ thumpings.
I guess we get things right for finals it doesn’t really matter.
Frustrating to watch though.
-
That attempted passage from the kick-in sums up our day. Just plenty of 'What the! moments.
-
Rioli 4 behinds. Half asleep there and took too long to take his set shot and was called to play on.
78 - 43
Crowd of 41k.
-
Let's try some new blood next week. We need to see some youthful exhuberance.
Next week's game will be interesting.

Definitely not pretty but we won by 29 pts.

29 points felt like it should have been 79. The Hawks are trash. Perhaps were building fitness.

Another good early season win.
After a horrid first quarter our captain was solid especially with his pressure and disposal.
Our forward entries were rubbish.
Nankervis almost got 15 marks, unfortunately he only took 2. :rollin
Our back six were solid.
Our mids didn't apply the level of pressure we normally like to see and Graham was slip sliding a more fumbly than he normally is.
Although he was better in the second half, I’d drop Pickett after that game he was trash.
Dusty is a class above and gave away 4 goals he could’ve kicked himself.
Shocking but we won the free kicks. :rollin
Could’ve won by 50+ but a win is a win.
:gotigers

That's true georgie. I don't believe we will play like today next week as we didn't get out of 2nd gear after the first 10 mins and didn't need to against Hawthorn. I was just stating that if we play like we did today against the Swans who are a much better opposition we'll lose.

Exactly this. Learnt over the past 4 seasons that form doesn’t matter early. Just want to bank the wins and be in the top 4 then gradually build to our best around finals time.
Dusty and Shai so classy. Defence were a wall but I was particularly impressed with Broad, won everything today :thumbsup

If the Hawks ever got properly close we had several gears to go to.

AFL Round 2 Report Card
Max Laughton, Ben Waterworth, David Zita and Matt Balmer
Fox Sports
March 29th, 2021
RICHMOND
The Tigers are still yet to be challenged for four quarters and despite Hawthorn throwing plenty at Damien Hardwick’s team, his side never gave an inch. A four-goal first term set up the 78-49 win at the MCG with Dustin Martin dazzling.
In the votes
Martin should be collecting the three Brownlow votes after his 28 disposal, nine inside 50s and a goal performance. The Hawks attempted to stop him by sending Shaun Burgoyne to him, but even the veteran couldn’t halt his influence. Midfielders Trent Cotchin and Dion Prestia both had over 25 disposals, while Jack Riewoldt wound back the clock with four goals.
Room for improvement
The Tigers mostly controlled the game but Damien Hardwick might’ve wanted a stronger result on the scoreboard given the reigning premiers had 11.12 for the match, with only three majors coming in the second-half.

Let's try some new blood next week. We need to see some youthful exhuberance.
Next week's game will be interesting.
Agree surely if we are only going thru the motions and winning and winning in a canter is the time to get games into the younger blokes.
The kids wont let us down either just look at 2019 and all the injuries. we got games into Stack 17 Graham 16, Baker 19 Bolton 19, Short 15, Higgins 13, Soldo 14, Balta 13, Ross 7 and Garthwaite 7 it was a real boon for us last yr.
Some games into a tall fwd and a tall defender a young ruckman with Soldo sidelined and real experience for blokes like Ross and RCD can only stand us in good stead . Time to do it now while lots of blokes are going thru the motions thinking their spots are safe.Might make a few actually work on their weaknesses.

One positive and one negative from Round 2
Andrew Slevison
SEN
30 March 2021
RICHMOND
Positive: Defence looking strong
Richmond had almost the entire game against Hawthorn on their terms from a defensive perspective.
The Tigers constantly forced the Hawks to kick blindly inside forward 50, allowing their intercept markers to get to work in the eventual 29-point win.
Dylan Grimes, David Astbury, Noah Balta, Nathan Broad and co. did seemingly as they pleased when the ball was in the air and the system worked well with all defenders working in tandem to cover and peel off.
The reigning premiers have conceded just 129 points in two games but will have their work cut out when they meet the free-scoring Sydney Swans at the MCG this Saturday.
Negative: Some hiccups going forward
From 58 inside 50 entries, the Tigers could only muster 11 goals from 23 scoring shots.
Some of the ball movement and decisions made forward of the centre left a little to be desired. At times it appeared as though the Tigers were trying to share it around a bit too much which led to missed opportunities.
Richmond’s scoring efficiency dropped to 43% on Sunday after they kicked 15 goals from 75 entries against Carlton in Round 1.
It’s not a major issue at this stage but something to work on going forward.
