Richmond vs GWS Giants - Round 9, 2017

[mightytiges]

Ttich to Miles to Rioli on the far side. Back to Miles and passes to Lloyd just inside 50. Rioli keeps running and Lloyd passes it him. Misses as well  .

Got to take these gettable chances 

41 - 20

[mightytiges]

Good tackle at HB. Ends up with Lloyd and nice pass to Nanks right on the 50. Another miss.

42 - 20

[mightytiges]

Ellis bad turnover 

Fortunately, Nank's great chase puts enough pressure to stop the Giants getting an easy possies inside 50.

Shaun Grigg is everywhere for the Tigers. Mid-way through the second quarter, he has a team-high 13 possessions (eight contested), two clearances, three inside 50s and has kicked a goal. However, his kicking efficiency is at just 38 percent to this point.

Bolton with pace to Rioli and despite us almost stuffing it up, Menadue kicks it  .

Boy did we need that!

Rich  7.6-48
GWS 4.3-27

18 Mins Q2

[Ruanaidh]

Just a little bit of Bolton to wet the appetite

[mightytiges]

Bolton again out of the middle and Jack marks. 25m out. Hits the post 

Missing these bloody sitters 

Rich    49
GWS   27

[Ruanaidh]

Wtf jack!

[mightytiges]

That would be called deliberate if we had kicked that 40m to the boundary line because no one was forward of the ball.

[mightytiges]

Dusty open goalsquare  but also misses. No left foot.

50 - 27

[mightytiges]

Jack Riewoldt hits the post from directly in front and continues the Tigers struggles with set-shots today. To this point in the match, Richmond have kicked 2.6 (18) from set shots. The Tigers are ranked 14th in goal kicking accuracy this season.
