Richmond vs Brisbane @ Etihad - Round 17, 2017

[mightytiges]

Lion turnover. Titch to Rioli 30m on the run and misses everything  .

Keep your head Dusty. Don't waste you time with that loser.

[mightytiges]

Grigg hands to Caddy to 1-1 with jack. Taps to Butler. Spears it to Georgie back to Butler and he hits the post from the boundary. Would've been goal of the year if he had kicked that.

Robertson kneed Dusty in the calf and Dusty slapped him back in the ear. Dimma took Dusty off to cool down.

[mightytiges]

Richmond has continued to dominate the clearances (7-3) and contested possessions (27-14). But are yet to convert their opportunities, creating a goal from just 30 per cent of shots on goal.

Astbury hands over ot Short who finds Miles. Bounces it to Caddy who runs around Stefan Martin. Hands over to Cotch who goes to the square and Dusty gets the free against Nick Robertson lol. Plus 50. Dusty gets his revenge. Goal  .

Down hill skiers playing like their globe trotters.

But no one wants to play hard footy and smash a few tackles except for Dusty grimes and Rance that all look like their scared of contact. Poofs!

ABC commentators summed it up:

"Richmond just doing enough when we have to. They take the foot off the pedal far too often in game.  Might get them over the line today but won't help them for the rest of the year. It's driven by your leaders. Cotch must be injured as he's been out of the play today. A good side would put this Brisbane side to the sword. You'd at least want to see from Richmond put on a spurt and bang on 5-6 goals in a row."

Problem is we've had a chance that quarter to do that but our pathetic goalkicking just kills our momentum.

[mightytiges]

Good contest by Nank. Prestia goal within the first 30 secs of the last.

Rich  73
Bris   44

Soldo going off with a broken nose.

[mightytiges]

The Tigers transitioned effectively in that 3rd quarter, generating 2.2.14 from their defensive half. However, their goal kicking inaccuracy continues to be a factor with just 36 per cent of set shots converted into a goal.

Dustin Martin's 11th clearances has resulted in the Tigers 3rd goal from a stoppage in the 2nd half. They have now launched a goal from 33 per cent of clearances, all of which were sourced from Martin.

Cotch intercepts the loose ball... off to Rioli through traffic and he nails it. That's better!
