Richmond vs Hawthorn @ the M.C.G. - Round 18, 2015

[dwaino]

Hunt didn't go hard enough.

Rioli ducked too under the new interpretation.

Under new interpretation Rioli took Newmans (it was Newman wasn't it?) legs out. Common sense interpretation is play on.

First 15 mins of that qtr we were swamped. We lifted in the last 10 mins to regain some momentum but only kicked one goal from 10 F50 entries. Should never have coughed up that goal either  .

n the second term Hawthorn was able to stop Richmond controlling possession of the ball and reestablish its own game plan. Although both teams went inside 50 on 12 occasions, Hawthorn kicked 5.3 (33) to Richmond's 2.0 (12).

Miles was brutal in that quarter. Got us back in the game by putting his head and winning the contested ball.

Lennon is showing he belongs at this level.

Should add this is Ivan's best game for the year IMO. He's taken some crucial contested marks as well as linking up with the mids on transition.

[mightytiges]

Kick the ball Richmond not freaking meaningless handballs 

[mightytiges]

Hawks are continually trying to creep over the mark.

TV finds Jack on the lead. Hasn't got the distance again. Touched,

35 - 36

[dwaino]

Jack hasn't had his weetbix, can't get the distance tonight.

[Lozza]

I think his distance issue is in an attempt to get his accuracy back, probably worked on something at training.

[mightytiges]

Dirty Hawks. Lake pushed TV into the fence. Ray pays the free and TV kicks it from the boundary 

Back in the front.

Rich  41
Haw  36

[dwaino]

Soft free but the shove was unnecessary by Lake.

[mightytiges]

Lids out of the centre. Jack cops one but no free but Macca gathers the crumbs and finds Lambert 48m out. Doesn't maek the distance. TV almost marks it but it's rushed through.

42 - 36

[mightytiges]

What was that Macca? Missed Houli by a mile. it was the wrong option anyway as Miles was on out wide.

[mightytiges]

We make mistakes when we hesistate. Grigg was too slow moving the ball. The free options dry up.

42 - 37

[mightytiges]

Hodge had his arm around Conca's neck = no free.
