[mightytiges]

Ellis up and under 20m out. Scramble. Ball-up 30m out. Port player slips but Titch misses.

9 - 11

[mightytiges]

Ricciuto really has nothing to say about us at all does he. Not good, not bad, every game of ours he commentates we're just not there.

Welcome to Adelaide . No one else exists other than Crows and Port.

Cotchin again having his usual captains game against a top eight team. 

His direct opponent has kicked a goal too. 

[mightytiges]

Grigg-Castagna 1-2, to Lambert to Dusty but he bounces it through for a point.

Rich  1.4-10
Port  1.6-12

Our wonderful goalkicking on display again  . Thankfully Port are missing theirs as well.

Quarter time

Richmond   1.4-10
Port Adel.   1.6-12

Goal: Riewoldt

[Lozza]

Hate to talk about umpires so early but if I haven't seen at least three frees to us in marking contests that were missed then I must be dreaming. Goes up the other end and immediately they pay an iffy one against us. Can see this being a factor as the game wears on, can't beat them and the umps.

[mightytiges]

Positives: Well we're a lot closer than this time in that Elim final  .

Negatives: This pinball footy is favouring Port so far as we lack a CHF/2nd tall forward to contest and bring the ball down so our smalls can keep it inside our F50.

[mightytiges]

Bombing long to nobody isn't working, Titch.

[mightytiges]

Grigg couldn't hit Markov 15m away . Would've been a shot at goal.

[mightytiges]

How many turnovers in a row by both sides?

We're wearing yellow with the black sash tonight, Tigers!

We finally hit targets and Lloyd has a set shot. Goal  .

Rich  2.4-16
Port  1.6-12

[mightytiges]

Their first inside 50 for the qtr and we give away a free and a freebie set shot  .

Rich  16
Port  18

[mightytiges]

Another high free to them despite collapsing to the knees.

Frees: 4 - 9 


Another goal to them.

16 - 24

[mightytiges]

Edwards to Menadue to Jack to Dusty (fends off). Finds Menadue to Lambert but he misses from 20m out  .

17 - 24

[mightytiges]

That's crap! Ump changes his mind after seeing the scoreboard and gifts Port a mark  .

Lucky they are missing shots again.

17 - 27

[mightytiges]

Grimes to Butler ... two bounces and side step = great goal 

Yes, we needed that.

Rich 3.5-23
Port 3.9-27
