That Gaints' running kick for goal was JUST after the siren. Saved by the bell!

Goals: Cotchin 2, Castagna 2, Riewoldt, Grigg, Menadue.

Geez Jack, you expect your gun forward to bury those chances, missed some very gettable shots which will probably be costly

[mightytiges]

Giants had the better of the general play that quarter but we still could've extended our lead if we could kick bloody straight and not miss all these sitters .



A 21-point lead to the Tigers at half time, partly thanks to their efficiency inside forward 50. From 29 entries inside 50, Richmond have had 17 shots at goal for 7.8 (50), including two shots not registering score.

Really disappointing qtr.

Should be 6 goals up.

Really poor misses, hope they don't bite us on the behind

If metres gained were calculated on altitude then the Tigers would lead the comp. Geez we make it easy for defenders. We tried so hard that quarter to let the Giants back into the game. We just don't know how to dominate sides for two consecutive quarters. To me it seems the midfielders are going missing and we start losing contested ball. Also feel we get a defensive mindset rather than to keep attacking. Just wish I had a dollar for every time we smash a team in one quarter only for us to take the foot off the gas. Would be listening to the game on the beach on my own island.

Where's Lloyd at?

Too good for vfl, but has been horrible first half

[mightytiges]

Lambert nice to Lloyd who snaps the first of the 3rd  .

Rich  8.8-56 brother!
GWS 4.7-31

[mightytiges]

What kick was that, Dion?!

[mightytiges]

The Tigers get the first goal of the third quarter through Sam Lloyd, and it comes from a stoppage again. Richmond are using the stoppages to great effect, scoring 5.3. (33) from this source today, to the Giants 2.2 (14).

Great defensive mark by Nanks 

[mightytiges]

Rance long and it misses everyone and is rushed through for a point.

57 - 31

[mightytiges]

That's about the Giants third coast-to-coast goal after us kicking a point .

57 - 37

[Lozza]

I have to say that we must have the least penetrating kicking team in the comp. Fair dinkum I doubt if we have many players who can exceed 35 metres on the run, it really is obvious in comparison to the better sides.
