Menadue to Jack who collects and gets it on. Dusty about to pounce the Swan defender back heels it through for a point.

We get it back and Prestia nice pass to Georgie. Hits the post  .

Cheap shot, Buddy. Reported for high bump on Menadue.

I reckon we're about 2 more goals in a row away from breaking their backs. Got to put the hammer down now and take our chances

[tony_montana]

Just making a few key dumb unforced errors at critical moments which is stopping us from burying them.

stuffing Lloyd has been useless

Dumb prick

Bloody turnover with 23 secs to go gifts them a goal on the siren

should never have been in the side in the first place

This quarter the Swans lead in first possession at stoppages (10-2) and clearances (9-3), but have scored just the one goal from a stoppage.

Sydney lead hitouts to advantage (10-1), and first possession wins at stoppages (21-11). However, this has only translated into a 17-13 advantage in clearances, and Sydney has been outscored 8-13 from stoppages.

In a sign of an even team performance, Richmond has 11 players with ten or more disposals, while the Swans have just the three such players.

Richmond has the edge for inside 50s (28-25), forward 50 marks (7-5) and forward 50 tackles (8-4).

Rioli & Butler need to get going this half

[Ruanaidh]

Beginning to lose structure and discipline ...leaders must stand up.

[tony_montana]

Swans have lifted big time

[mightytiges]

Boy did we need that. Titch goal  .

Rich  8.6-54
Syd  4.5-29

[tony_montana]

We needed that against the run of play. That Edwards goal came from butler being clean and one grabbing it on the wing
