Richmond vs St Kilda @ Etihad - Round 16, 2015

[mightytiges]

Winning the hitouts 22 - 11 but down by 8 in the clearances.

Consistency umpire? Gilbert given 10 years non-free but McIntosh pinged.

[mightytiges]

  Don't gift them goal from kick-ins FFS. Lucky there they didn't.

[mightytiges]

Lids good hands to Ivan and nice kick inside 50 to Hampson on the boundary. Misses.

41 - 26

[mightytiges]

Ray stuffed up his kick across defence and we do our best to stuff it up ourselves but Lids snap a goal from 40m out 

Rich  47
st K  26

[mightytiges]

Was that a mark to Lennon?

[mightytiges]

Cotch, Lids to Grigg who goes inside 50 and Hampson marks again  . Misses an easy one .

Rich   48
St K   26

How many times can we run them down and it not be paid a free?

And now Dusty is pinged with no prior opportunity  .

Just came to post the same thing. That was BS.

[mightytiges]

Lids gets his handball away to Cotch and he finds Jack. Siren. Goal

[Lozza]

Are doing enough but really it's a comedy of errors out there. Certainly not out of the textbooks, been lucky our turnovers haven't hurt us more, main reason is the Saints turnovers are worst.

[Yeahright]

Hampson doing well again.

Miles ahead of Maric.

Jack, Griff, Vick forward Hampson ruck is the way to go

[mightytiges]

Despite limited impact on the scoreboard with back to back behinds, Hampson is having an impact in the ruck in the first half, leading hitouts across all players with 14, six to advantage.

He's holding his marks the last few weeks. If only he could kick for goal  .

x2.

Despite dominating the hitouts, we are still getting smashed in the clearances by the Saints  .

At least that quarter, we nailed our chances and so put on some scoreboard pressure. Dominated that quarter aside for that 5 min period after we got out to a 3 goal lead. Lambert's goal against the run of play turned the momentum back our way.

Big boys would be up by 10 goals. We are just an older teenage sister at this stage.
