Finally get our hands on the ball. McIntosh nice pass to Rioli inside 50. Goal

Understatement to say we needed that!

[mightytiges]

Where's the defensive pressure, Tigers? 3 inside 50s for 3 goals to the Suns  .

[mightytiges]

Dusty free in the centre. Goes long. Off the contest, Rioli kicks a point.

7 - 18

[mightytiges]

Houli off HB to Macca to Edwards. Finds Houli who has run on. Set shot from 50. Misses.

8 - 18

[tony_montana]

Poor start and some concerning signs, but good to see Rioli starting well.

[mightytiges]

Dusty now forward.

We get the centre clearance and it's a stoppage 40m out. Witts threw it (not paid) and GC get the free instead and clear.

[tony_montana]

Umps paying some really soft frees


Caddy needs to start converting!

[mightytiges]

Almost stuffed it up in the middle with the Ellis-Cotch-Ellis passes. Houli now finds Caddy. Bad kick and another missed set shot  .

15 - 18


We're scoring goals just 21% of the time from our in50s. Apparently, the worst in the comp.

[mightytiges]

Kick to the pocket and Caddy marks it. Kick goes to the goalsquare  and it's cleared by the Suns.

[tony_montana]

Gc player has possession of the ball fumbles and gets tackled holding the man, same thug happens in reverse 3 mins later it's play on

[mightytiges]

Dusty to Miles to Ellis. Good kick to Lambert at HF. Goes to Edwards who kicks around the body and Rioli takes a good mark running back with the flight. Goal  .

In front! Rioli with all 3 goals.

Rich  3.3-21
GC    3.0-18

[mightytiges]

Cotch goes forward. Everyone slips over. Nank had a good chance but missed it  .

22 - 18

Gc player has possession of the ball fumbles and gets tackled holding the man, same thug happens in reverse 3 mins later it's play on

We've been on top in general play since that early Suns blitz and yet we're 4-6 behind in free kicks.

[tony_montana]

Good lad Rioli, has been down for a good 6-8 weeks, responding brilliantly.

Geez this poos me, every time they go fwd they can't miss, we miss from 15 and 25 metres

[mightytiges]

Suns goal makes us pay for our misses

22 - 24
