It's on like Donkey Kong / Friday, Sept.8 QF: Richmond vs Geelong @ the 'G

[mightytiges]

Excellent 2nd quarter mostly until we screwed up in the last 5 mins and gifted them 2 goals  .

[Lozza]

Broad is a turnover merchant, Georgie fumbled everything he has touched. Two players who need to go for the next game. Short and Bolton in.

I have been backing in Castagna to bounce back but he's been pretty costly tonight.

Georgies selection looking like a massive error.....

Rioli almost as bad.

The worst thing about Broad there was the decision making. 30 secs to go with most of his teammates inside F50 set up for the long kick and he goes short with Geelong's forward half wide open . It was just dumb dumb dumb! He had to go with the "safe" long kick to deny any chance of Geelong having time to run it up the other end to score.

Lambert and McIntosh the surprise packets so far. Both playing very well.

The main frustration is we haven't made the most of our chances. We should have nailed 3-4 of our set shots that we've missed. Caddy would be clear BOG if he had kicked straight.

Out of form and overawed by the finals tempo. Inferred pressure and less time to think & act has got into his head and he's fumbled everything that has come his way and crucially when a clean disposal would set up a chance at goal by one of his teammates.

HALF TIME

Richmond leads by nine points at the main break.

The Tigers have dominated large parts of the first half but inaccurate kicking kept the Cats in it.

In fact, Geelong did not kick a goal until the 26th minute of the second term.

Matthew Lloyd said Richmond’s coaches should be encouraged by the early performance.

“Their effort and tackling pressure has been enormous,” Lloydy said.

“When they’ve got the ball they look dangerous… but their forwards have let them down.

“They way they’re using the ball going forward is the thing that’s hurt them.

“28 inside 50s to 19 – they should be much further in front.”

Yep he gets dropped for next match for mine

[mightytiges]

No one nominated in the ruck. Dusty smother rebounds for a point.

26 - 16

[mightytiges]

Dumb needless handball = turnover = goal to them 

[mightytiges]

Geez we're doing stupid schoolboy mistakes 

[mightytiges]

Our intensity has fallen away. Blicavs could have made a cupper will waiting to pick up the ball behind that stoppage.

[Owl]

the umpire pumped us in the arse for the first half now we are shagged for no reward they are going to overrun us lol

[mightytiges]

Come off it Ump. That was a mark to Jack  .

[mightytiges]

Jack's soccer from the boundary is a point.

Back in front.
