SUMMARY

The Tigers suffered their first loss since round 21 last year when they fell to Adelaide by 36 points last Thursday night. Richmond was smashed in contested ball (192 to 144), with coach Damien Hardwick later declaring the Tigers were "out-hunted and out-worked" as well as being beaten in the air and at ground level, with Alex Rance destroyed by Josh Jenkins in the first half. The Hawks are one of four teams to remain undefeated after two rounds following their heart-stopping one-point win over Geelong on Easter Monday. After the Cats came back from a 25-point deficit in the last quarter to level the scores, a point by Jarryd Roughead broke the deadlock with a minute remaining on the clock. There's no denying the Hawks are on their way back to their scary best after a rare finals absence in 2017. 

WHERE AND WHEN: MCG, Sunday, April 8, 1.10pm AEST

LAST FIVE MEETINGS
R20, 2017: Richmond 13.15 (93) d Hawthorn 9.10 (64) at the MCG
R18, 2016: Hawthorn 16.18 (114) d Richmond 5.14 (44) at the MCG
R7, 2016: Hawthorn 21.10 (136) d Richmond 13.12 (90) at the MCG
R18, 2015: Richmond 10.11 (71) d Hawthorn 7.11 (53) at the MCG
R6, 2014: Hawthorn 18.10 (118) d Richmond 7.10 (52) at the MCG

THE SIX POINTS


1. Match-winning midfielder Dustin Martin dominated in the Tigers' round 20 win over the Hawks last year. He had 32 disposals and kicked two goals in their 29-point victory, playing largely as a forward while Jack Riewoldt was out with an eye injury

2. This game should produce a battle between the competition's in-form midfielders. Hawthorn's Tom Mitchell has averaged 47 disposals over two games and leads the AFLCA champion player of the year voting from Martin, who is fourth.

3. Mitchell was no slouch against the Tigers last year, either. He was the Hawks' best with 35 disposals and a whopping 10 clearances – easily the most by an individual on the field – with the Hawks winning that stat 36 to 32.

4. It was the Tigers' midfield that got the job done on the day with Dion Prestia chipping in with 31 touches and Kane Lambert picking up 30 to go with Martin's haul. Richmond won the contested possessions 146 to 137.

5. The Tigers haven't been as strong defensively in their first two games as they were last year, with an average of 106 points conceded compared to 74 in 2017. Meanwhile, the Hawks have been the No.1 team for inside 50s and equal fourth for marks inside the attacking arc. 

6. Patrick Dangerfield and Martin might have a monopoly on the top two spots in the Schick AFL Player Ratings, but Mitchell is coming for them. In just the past two weeks, the ball magnet has climbed from 31st overall to 23rd.

IT’S A BIG WEEK FOR …

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick. That's two games and two best on ground performances by Tom Mitchell, who has been awarded the maximum 10 votes by the coaches in the AFLCA award in rounds one and two. The challenge of stopping the 24-year-old now falls to the most recent premiership coach. To initiate a hard tag (Jack Graham?) or go head-to-head with Mitchell in the midfield is Hardwick's million-dollar question.

PREDICTION: Richmond by 12 points.

I hate them more than any other team and this hatred goes back to the mid 70's.
No sissyly or burgergroin should steer us in the right direction.

From Barrett's 'sliding doors' column:

If ....  we don't normally get too worked up with match-scheduling matters ...

then  .... we are this weekend. The Tigers-Hawks game is wasted in the 1.10pm Sunday slot.

The Hawks are going to try to beat us at our own game according to Brereton and Dunstall.

“They [Hawthorn's small forwards C.Rioli, Puopolo, Breust & Impey] were pressing up and having that intense pressure, which is how Richmond won that premiership last year.

“It’s all about winning the territory battle — you’re not going to get opened up down back if the ball doesn’t get there that much.”

Too quick for the Hawks at this stage. Sloppy first 20 mins with our inside F50 kicks being cut off, but we started to get into gear in time-on.

Negs: Losing the clearances (4-9) thanks to Mitchell. Contested possies behind slightly 34- 37.

Pos: Inside 50s: 17 - 9 and tackles 14-7. Hawks have gone tall up forward and they're top heavy so far. Our defence is doing well. Cotch, Edwards and Dusty our leading possession getters.

Rance off to Higgins to Grigg to Ellis all by hand. Takes a couple of bounces then kicks. Lloyd and Houli almost creates something out of nothing. Review as it came off a boot. Review says a goal to us when apparently it came off Gunston's boot. They then had a review of the review and it's a point. Too farce :facepalm.

Some of our worst field kicking I have seen in a number of years. Is it really that difficult to nail a pass 20 metres. Has happened first two rounds and inside 50 there is no need, way too unselfish, just put the bloody thing through the big white sticks, very simple.

Alex Rance took four intercept marks in the second quarter to consistently repel the Hawks attacks. This is the second-highest record in this category this season, behind the five intercept marks he took in the third quarter against the Crows last week.

Reece Conca has been critical to the Tigers this quarter, winning eight disposals this term but also ensuring that the Tigers have retained possession from seven of his disposals, clearly the best on ground in this category.

Thank gawd for Rance! Had about 5 or 6 marking intercepts in that qtr alone.

We are missing the bigger bodies of Prestia and Caddy in the middle.

Yep. Giving up a 39 point lead down to 13 (could have been closer if they kicked straight) in the last means we collectively switched off mentally.

Yeah, really good I thought. Showing the same sort of form as early last year.

Hopefully his body can sustain the effort......

If anyone needs conclusive proof that you don't need to tag Mitchell, the Tigers provided it today. I must admit though that it helps to have an effective defensive structure for Mitchell to have to play into. Our defence was really good for 3 quarters in shutting down options for Mitchell to move the ball forward to.
 
Mitchell got plenty of it, but I didn't think he used it well at all. Cotchin had significantly less possessions and was much more damaging.

Post by: Rampsation on April 08, 2018, 06:03:16 PM
getting the four points is always good but our performance was very average. The good part is that Prestia, Caddy, Rioli and Broad will come into the side at some point and that's when we'll be our strongest, Id suggest we need a 2nd tall up forward who is mobile and can take a mark but for now we are 2 and 1 and going ok.

Serious question

What to do with Kane Lambert?

Was poor again today, cost us 3 goals with atrocitious decison making and terrible handballs in our F50

Horrilby out of form and not coping with the extra attention

And Rance is in trouble, like Caddy last week too late

Post by: Tigeritis™©® on April 08, 2018, 06:55:00 PM
Yes he’s horribly out of form but still works hard both ways.

I wouldn’t drop Lambert as yet WP. Once Prestia and Caddy are back he will be more damaging.

Lambert is probably gone as we have way too many in form players to choose from that aren't playing at the moment including those big names due to come back anyway.

Mafia Island & Erin Phillips' Brother-in-law were big outs for them, not to mention a 5 day break v our 9 day break. Really shouldve belted them but instead we were nearly overrun.  Still nowhere near where we were last year....missing Prestia, Broad & especially Rioli....Conca & CEllis have been inferior replacements....Lambert out of form, Houli & Grigg ordinary(the latter getting exposed in the ruck now- Nank also getting done  by bigger & more agile opponents)BEllis back to his worst(though was ok yesterday).... blokes like Bolton, Lloyd & Short are defensively inferior.....a bit of lairising by certain players....shorter pre-season (though it doesn't seem to be affecting Adelaide but then again as runners-up they're probably a bit more determined than us at this stage)...

The last part of your post is the most relevant. We do not need to be playing at full potential just yet. Just need to win as many games up to the bye weekends and be at worse 8 and 4. Then we can build over the last 10 weeks.

The next 5 weeks can set us up. Brisbane, Melbourne, Collingwood, Freo all at MCG then North at Etihad
