Richmond vs Fremantle @ Subiaco - Round 9, 2016

[mightytiges]

Took us 25 mins to work out it's not last week and you don't short chip and continually handball in the wet  . Our set-shot kicking is still an issue aside from Jack's great kick. On the positive side, our hardness at the footy and effort is good and we did finally get some reward in the last minute with two goals.

Hahahaha! About time we got one of these rushed behinds given to us for a change. Thanks ump  .

  umpire great decision.....

[🏅Dooks]

If Brian Taylor could stop calling Menadue 'Grimes' and Morris 'Hunt', that would be great.

Also got Freos captain wrong at the start of the game.

Well done Miles

 

[Yeahright]

BT is the worst at getting names right

Also lads, remember this gem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ElLRSVxph0

Tell you what, Batchelor has been really good so far

[TigerMonk]

Love it that is desperate stuff to get a player. Menadue though stopped & we should have had a goal

[WA Tiger]

 

[Yeahright]

Say what you want about Ellis, but he is a decent tackler. Too bad he doesn't want to do it and is more than happy to stop chasing and point if given the chance

[Diocletian]

Will be our turn to be under siege in the third against that breeze.

Helped by the weather, Richmond has restricted Fremantle to its lowest half time score at Subiaco since 2011. The Tigers have done most damage from its forward half, kicking all but two of its scores from possession chains originating in this zone.

[Yeahright]

Did alright in the first

[mightytiges]

Happy to be 5 goals up but we stuffed up a couple of chances to be further in front with that breeze and our dominance that quarter. Freo also won a couple of centre clearances too easily despite us having first hands on the footy.

Will be our turn to be under siege in the third against that breeze.

Breeze has dropped according to Richo. Let's hope he's right  . AFL Live said the ball was in our forward half 80% of time in the last 10 minutes, so that's how strong the breeze was. You could easily make the distance from outside 50. A 5 goal margin isn't much if Freo get a similar advantage in the 3rd.
