Brisbane are flooding.

Prestia inside 50 from the centre clearance. It's a throw-in 15m out. Brisbane get the free but can only go back-and-forth sideways until they kick it OOTF. The long kick from Jack is rushed for a point.

Caddy to Geogie to Lambert out of the centre. Goes long. Townsend mows down May and it's a scramble for the footy. Cotch back to Towner to Dusty but it's spoiled and it's a throw in by the point post. Loose ball from the throw-in and Dusty gets the free for too high. Goal

The ball is locked in the Tigers forward half. From 9 defensive half chains, Brisbane has been intercepted 7 times and are yet to create an inside 50 from this source.

The Tigers have now created 10 inside 50's to 2 from intercept chains. They have been able to score easily from this source, generating a score from 60 per cent of these inside 50's.

Shocking kick by Brisbane at CHB. And we get the turnover and 6 or 7 Tigers can raffle it. Ellis with the set shot. Misses.

29 - 2

[mightytiges]

Caddy on the wing to Grimes but he coughs it up. Good team pressure saves the day and Rance marks. it ends up with grigg who goes to jack inside 50 to Georgie on a tight angle. 50 secs to go coast to coast and we did it in 40s. Goal on the siren  .

Quarter time

Richmond  5.5-35
Brisbane    0.2-2

Goals: Martin 2, Caddy, Riewoldt, Castagna.

[mightytiges]

A couple of sloppy moments especially early on but overall we got going and dominated all over the ground thanks to our pressure and ballwinners.

Richmond lead both the contested possession count (34-24) and are applying more pressure, winning the tackle count (12-9).
