Hawthorn v Richmond Preview
Seb Mottram
SEN
12 May 2022
The Hawks and Tigers bring two very different form lines into their clash fixtured for Saturday afternoon at the MCG.
Richmond are coming off two strong wins over the past fortnight, having smashed West Coast to the tune of 109 points before backing it up again when beating Collingwood in Dustin Martin’s return game.
Damien Hardwick’s troops have been able to move the ball with increased fluency in their recent wins, and Tom Lynch’s resurgence up forward is a prime example of Richmond getting some momentum into their season.
It’s an opposite record to the Hawks, who started the year well but have faltered in recent weeks, despite playing some solid footy.
They’ve lost three on the trot, the most disappointing coming against an undermanned Bombers side last week as Sam Mitchell’s men faltered in the last quarter.
When at their best, both sides are high scorers but have been prone to leaking big scores, while the makeup across the middle of the ground is also similar for the two teams in relying on a team brand of football.
Hawthorn hasn’t been that far off the pace in recent weeks, but the Tigers are on a roll and it will take an upset to derail their momentum in what should be a high-scoring clash.
Tip: Richmond by 11 points.

It's Ray "I want to be the centre of attention" day ::).
We don't come to watch umps you clowns :thumbsdown
-
Frees: 0 - 5 ::)
-
Early free kickathon to Hawthorn.
-
Prestia inside 50 and Jack is blocked/held. Our first free. Goal! :gotigers
Rich 1.1-7
Haw 0.3-3
-
Ball out the back of the pack and Lynch misses a sitter :P.
8 - 3
-
Cleverly weighted kick by Bolton to Lynch 25-30 out. Gets this one. Goal! :gotigers
Rich 2.2-14
Haw 0.3-3
-
Short high inside 50. Jack great mark by the boundary. Dishes it off but it's called not 15. Jack gets it back and snaps a point.
15 - 3
-
3 chasing/tackling efforts by Maurice there to force the throw-in :clapping.
-
Here is our 10min patch we have every quarter.
-
Our defending has been woeful so far.
It would be nice too if we watched the opponent's hips when we try to tackle. Too many mistackles.
15 - 16
-
Lynch gets his 2nd :gotigers. We needed that.
Rich 3.3-21
Haw 2.4-16
-
Centre clearance via D.Rioli. Lynch strong contested mark 35 out. Sprays it OOTF :P.
Tom should have 4.
-
Another mistackle :banghead.
They nail us to force the ball free and we get spun/brushed off.
21-22
-
Get someone on 44 FFS
-
Lynch gets hit in the head and Ray doesn't pay the obvious free kick then pays 50 against Tom for dissent ::).
-
B.O.G. for Hawthorn is Razor Ray. That idiot gifted the Hawks a goal ::).
-
Late goals again. Time to wake up Tigers.
We've been ordinary.
Free kick count heavily favouring Hawks and Ray taking a vested interest in today's result.
-
We look too tall for this weather. Should have dropped Soldo and played another runner.
-
Quarter time
Richmond 3.3-21
Hawthorn 4.4-28
Goals: Lynch 2, Riewoldt
-
We need to turn up pressure and our tackling which are both way off.
44 allowed to roam around and rack up possessions at will luckily he can’t kick. :banghead
Who’s on Breust? If we think he’s not going to damage us we are kidding ourselves.
-
We look too tall for this weather. Should have dropped Soldo and played another runner.
Yep
-
Aside from Razor barracking for Hawthorn that gifted them at least two goals ::), we've dished up slop and been defensively poor on transition. All 4 goals to Hawthorn from turnovers (including thanks to Razor). Hawks hurting us on the rebound. Half-forwards and mids not working hard enough.
Disposal efficiency: 60% - 75% :help
-
That's 9 scores from just 15 entries for them. Haven't turned up to play defensively. Very soft so far. Need to wake up. You've got to put your head down, get in first, win the contest and gain territory in the wet.
21 - 34
p.s. Stick your tackles too :banghead.
-
This is embarrassing. I’m not sure what we are doing out here.
-
This is pathetic.
-
Where’s our pressure?
-
Another simply schoolboy turnover then ballwatching in defence gifting their forwards another simple mark :banghead.
21 - 40
-
Where’s our pressure?
We haven't turned up to play.
-
Another BS free against us ::). Lynch is allowed to hold his ground with his hands.
Costs us goal and now Hawthorn will get one at the other end. 12 point turnaround. Thanks umps :thumbsdown.
-
How can anyone miss that throw?
-
Bolton out of the centre. After a couple of contests. Graham soccers a goal :gotigers.
Rich 4.3-27
Haw 7.4-46
-
Ball-up. Nank spins out of the hitout and goals :gotigers.
Rich 5.3-33
Haw 7.4-46
-
Short long to the hot spot. Off hands and Jack staying down goals :gotigers.
Rich 6.3-39
Haw 7.4-46
-
Here come the umps again to help Hawthorn ::). Cost us another goal.
-
Bolton long bomb from 60 but it's touched.
40 - 46
-
Bolton clean hands to Rioli on the run but he misses from 50.
41 - 46
-
Dusty puts us in front :gotigers.
Rich 7.5-47
Haw 7.4-46
Gunston subbed off for Hawthorn.
-
Or defenders need to spoil.
Too much body checking isn’t working. Read the ball and punch it for goodness sake!
-
That was a dumb tap by Soldo 30m backwards into the corridor. Opened us right up as no Tiger mid was ready for it :banghead.
47 - 52
-
We can't buy a free ::).
Bolton's class gets us the goal anyway :gotigers
Credit to Maurice too initially.
Rich 8.5-53
Haw 8.5-53
-
Bolton intercepts 70 out. Goes to Lynch. Not paid front on contact. Lynch gathers at ground level and chips nicely to Soldo 1m out who goals :gotigers.
Rich 9.5-59
Haw 8.5-53
-
Much better.
Bolton is a freak.
Short good again.
-
Amazing we're in front having to play against 25 ::).
Frees: 5 - 15
-
Even up the rees in the second half and we are home at a canter, but it won't happen
-
Defenders need to wake up in the second half. Much better from the halfway mark of that qtr onwards but they are allowing too many fwd50 marks in wet weather conditions too. Even with hawks sleek transition it’s not like our key defenders wernt in position to spoil most of their marks, just not manning up or being caught flat footed.
-
Half-time
Richmond 3.3 9.5-59
Hawthorn 4.4 8.5-53
Goals: Lynch 2, Riewoldt 2, Bolton, Graham, Martin, Nankervis, Soldo.
Woke up in the last 15 minutes, lifted our intensity and started winning the contests which turned the match into a forward half game.
Bolton lead the way. Just clean while everyone else around him was fumbling. Prestia important too.
Still a weird game for us. Strong in areas we're usually not so (centre clearances & stoppages) but ordinary in regards to the turnover/rebound game which is normally our one wood.
-
Amazing we're in front having to play against 25 ::).
Frees: 5 - 15
I don’t normally complain about the umps but this is pretty ridiculous.
Be interesting to watch this game on tv and see the close ups. In just seems very obviously one way umpiring as I stand here.
They get a free and are awarded a fifty for us playing on but the exactly same things happens with hawthorn and no 50.
Head highs. Throws. Dropping the balls not going our way at all but they are getting every 50/50 decision. It’s pretty frustrating.
-
Tbh the umps haven’t been that bad.
Maybe we’ve been unlucky with one or two but we do give away a lot of dumb frees.
-

It's the ones we don't get paid that is the problem Willy.
Hawk throws.
Lynch whacked high on the wing and Razor doesn't pay it. Lynch wonders why. Hello 50m for "dissent". Teams should not be penalised 50m for ump errors.
Nank is continually copping it over the shoulder at throw-ins/ball-ups yet no free.
Hawk players drop the ball in the tackle no free yet Dusty (rightly) is pinged for the same thing.
All we ask for is consistency and fairness for both teams.
-
Bakers a dill
-
You're out there George. First time I've noticed him.
George's 45m shot falls shot and Lynch marks between the goal and point post. Goal! :gotigers
Rich 10.5-65
Haw 8.6-54
-
Baker intercept to Broad to George to Jack in the pocket. Hits the inside of the post.
66 - 54
-
How is that not HTB? ::)
-
Jack 50 but doesn't make the distance from 45 :P.
Pickett to Dusty but the ump says "not 15" ::). Dusty weaves past two Hawks but his banana just misses.
We get it back from the kick-in and Lynch marks 25 out. Goal! :gotigers
That's 4 for Tom.
Rich 11.7-73
Haw 8.6-54
-
Goal to Hawthorn via another free. Balta taking out the legs getting the ball.
73 - 60
-
Geez Balta has had a few brainfades today. Lucky Biggie got a touch on the line.
73 - 61
-
Baker on the run from 50 misses.
74 - 62
-
Just tuned in now.
Dusty making Lambert's stuff up look OK. Lambert just kick the goal next time!
-
Dusty miracle goal :bow :gotigers.
Camel through the eye of the needle stuff.
Rich 12.8-80
Haw 9.8-62
-
That's 4 misses on the run from 50 to an open goal today (Kmac this time).
81 - 62
-
Lynch high ball centering kick and Bolton marks it between 3 Hawks.
Sprays it OOTF :P.
Geez we've missed sitters today :scream.
-
Another blatant HTB not paid >:( :banghead.

Geez we've missed sitters today :scream.
Gee that was a bad miss
-
Ive had the footy more today than Castagna. We keep good kids out and play hacks like Georgie instead.
-
3/4 time
Richmond 3.3 9.5 12.9-81
Hawthorn 4.4 8.5 9.8.62
Goals: Lynch 4, Riewoldt 2, Martin 2, Bolton, Graham, Nankervis, Soldo.
Should be further in front but we'll take the 19 point lead given this woeful umpiring.
-
Kept the hawks in it. Needed to kick another 1-2 goals to drain them of their belief and they did start playing better for a 5-10min period there. Hopefully we can bring this home.
-
Balta (hammy?) off. Sheds on.
-
Frees: 8 - 18
3 blatant HTBs in our forward half not paid. The only one we got was deep in defence.
Still waiting for the evening up.
----------
On the game from what we've done, better defensively since half-time. Need to keep the pressure up. Also need to make the most of our chances. Missed a number of gettable goals.
-
Balta (hammy?) off. Sheds on.
Yep hammy confirmed. Being iced up on the bench.
-
Maurice off the ground misses.
82 - 62
-
Soft efforts there :banghead.
Two times had the opportunity to take possession and we fumbled in the contest and let it out of the back for Bruest to goal :banghead.
82 - 68
-
Great tackle Short.
-
Soldo is a great shot for goal
-
Short great tackle at HF.
Another pass inside 50 not paid 15 (that's 3 times ::) ).
Soldo however gets the tackle and we finally win a HTB free 40 out. Set shot = Goal! :gotigers
Rich 13.10-88
Haw 10.8-68
-
Prestia long out of the centrebounce. Jack contests it down to Lynch who hands it over the top to Dusty in the goalsquare = Goal! :gotigers
Rich 14.10-94
Haw 10.8-68
-
Great weighted kick by D.Rioli and Soldo marks 20 out. Misses the sitter :P.
95 - 68
-
Soldo is a great shot for goal
:lol
-
Soldo is a great shot for goal
You mozzed him TK ;).
-
Dusty getting more involved now. Lovely move in traffic and pass to Jack. Goal! :gotigers
Rich 15.11-101
Haw 10.8-68
-
Another gettable shot missed (D.Rioli).
D.Rioli gets it back from the kick in and misses again from distance.
103 - 68
-
Baker has almost been as bad as Castagna. Biggie has had some good moments but needs a lot of work. Id definately drop George.
-
Lairising and sloppy in the last 5 minutes.
Play out the game Tiges.
103 - 76
-
Nank on the run from 50 misses (That's 5 we've missed).
104 - 76
-
Miller is better than Biggie.
-
Gee fmd we are leaking junk time%%% here
I hate hate hate it
-
Poor hitout Nank. 20m forward straight to a Hawk with no Tigers expecting it and they goal.
104 - 82
Dumb last 10 mins from us.
-
Miller is better than Biggie.
Yep and everyone knows it except about one bloke here
-
Pickett tackled without the ball and not paid ::).
-
Pathetic last 10 mins. Just dumb dumb dumb slop.
104 - 88
3 mins to go.
-
Some really stupid ball work has got them back in it. :help
Stupid :banghead
We could’ve put the screws in and damaged them but no. :banghead
-
104 - 94
We're asleep.
-
Castagna honestly.
-
Castagna is a poo footballer. It’s a bloody miracle he’s actually playing. Mindboggling actually.
-
George goal on the second attempt :gotigers.
Rich 16.14-110
Haw 14.10-94
-
Castagna is a poo footballer. It’s a bloody miracle he’s actually playing. Mindboggling actually.
Ugh.
Misses one earlier.
Gets the smother, recovers from the shove and nails it.
Still had a gut full of him but the effort was 100% there.
-
Bolton all class :gotigers.
Rich 17.14-116
Haw 14.10-94
-
Losing Balta hurt.
Hopefully Gibcus back next week and Miller for Biggie IMO.
-
Great run by Dan Rioli through the centre. Out to Broad who hits up Jack 45 out. Across the face and doesn't mark the distance and it's rushed through.
Siren!
Won by 23 pts :gotigers.
-
Should have been 40+ but I'll take the win.
Let them have 4 junk time goals, same as last week vs pies
-
Final Score
Richmond 3.3 9.5 12.9 17.15-117
Hawthorn 4.4 8.5 9.8 14.10-94
Goals: Lynch 4, Riewoldt 3, Martin 3, Bolton 2, Soldo 2, Graham, Nankervis, Castagna.
Take the win and move on.
-
Baker has almost been as bad as Castagna. Biggie has had some good moments but needs a lot of work. Id definately drop George.
Surely can’t be serious? A couple of silly moments aside thought he was excellent. Think he lead the team in contested possessions and intercept possessions.
-
Very inconsistent performance. Very good mixed with the very bad. Defensive transition was poor today aside from the 3rd qtr. Key backs were outmarked too often. At the other end goalkicking was ordinary too. Missed a heap of gettable set shots and shots on the run that kept Hawthorn in it.
Also a bit arrogant today. Didn't turn up for the first 1.5 qtrs. Then switched on, then off and then on again when needed. We can't do that against a top side.
-
We got little to nothing out of our small fwds today.
MRJ was good with his chasing and pressure but needs to get involved more offensively and be cleaner when he does.
Honestly didn’t know George was playing first half was absolutely anonymous. Much more involved second half (not hard) but still surely his form warrants a spell in the 2’s.

TK, MRJ was amazing pretty well his 4th AFL game and spectacular IMHO

Lynch was amazing today, my bad that I did not have that confidence in him. Well done Tom Lynch

Baker every week does stupid things. Every week. Hes drinking his own bathwater. Needs to go back to the twos for a week or two to learn some discipline. As for George hes got photos on someone.. wrve got really good kids in the twos and this bloke is taking games of our kids.

Disagree with Baker big time. I think you’ll find most players do silly things every week but out of all the weeks you’d call for him to be dropped this isn’t one of them. His best game of the season and one of our best today.

Defensively yes.
Offensively non existent although his defence does lead to good offence for us. Just wasn’t involved in general play when we had the ball and was very fumbly when he was near - dropped chest mark as an example.

Still had a gut full of him but the effort was 100% there.
And I would think whether we like it or not, the above is the reason he is in the team
3 brilliant efforts that included the sealer
He was very poor today, extremely poor but that 30 seconds was vital

I dont really rate him. I dont rate Castagna either.Just my own view thats all.

Sicily a free agent right? Be a great get, can play
He's a gun. Really has the mental and physical tools to play above his size. I remember him giving Lynch a good run for his money despite conceding 12cm and 12kg.
Would be keen as.

Coincidently, Sicily has just re-signed with Hawthorn for 5 years.
