Despite the Giants leading the clearance count 11-8 in this first quarter, the Tigers are capitalising when they do get the ball clear, scoring 4.1 (25) from this source compared to the Giants 1.0 (6).

Alex Rance with a great intercept mark, his second of the game. Rance has won a competition high 46 defensive-50 intercepts this season, 12 more than any other player.

Rance to Grigg who could've taken the shot from 45. Goes to Rioli who misses.

Would be nice to think we could keep this up for another 3 quarters but that wouldn't be Richmondy.

Mr. 31% has lifted.

Grigg 9 possessions, 3 effective (33.3%) 

[Ruanaidh]

If Grigg and Rioli lowered their eyes it would be nearly over....but then again it is the tigers. Btw Prestia's first quarter was first class.

[mightytiges]

Great first quarter response to last week soft 'effort'. Pressure and intensity was top notch.

Now the question is can we keep it up and play more than one quarter like that unlike the past 4 weeks. The Giants will get a spray at 1/4 time so we need to come out of the huddle and again back up this pressure.
