Just outside our 50. Nank down to Prestia to grigg. High to the square but it's a free against Jack.

Awful play by Brisbane. We get it back. Macca to Ellis but it falls short for a point.

Brisbane kick-in straight to Dusty and it ends up with Townsend. Goal 

Rich  7.7-49
Bris   0.3-3

Rance free across to Short in defence to Floss in the corridor. A chain of hands to Prestia who kicks long and Dusty marks in the square and it's another goal

Short to graham through traffic to Conca. Squares it to Ellis who stuffs it up. Castagna snap is a point.

57 - 3

[mightytiges]

Don't start lairising Richmond. Remain professional.

[mightytiges]

Sloppy last couple of minutes. Fortunately Brisbane set shot misses.

Houli up to the wing after the kick-in. Goes long and Georgie gets the free 48 out. Launches it high and it's rushed.

58 - 4

[mightytiges]

Lloyd complaining about the umps favouring us. Yeah that's the difference in the game, Matty  .


Richmond has created a mark inside 50 and score from 48 and 68 per cent of their entries respectively.

Despite creating 16 (10 from intercepts) inside 50's and 6 shots on goal, the Lions are yet to convert any of their opportunities into a goal.

Siren.

Half-time

Richmond    5.5    8.10-58
Brisbane      0.2    0.4-4

Goals: Martin 3, Castagna 2, Riewoldt, Caddy, Townsend.

[mightytiges]

Rince and repeat that quarter. Dominate all over the ground again. Only criticisms is it became too easy that we started lairising and became sloppy in the last 5-10 mins. We should have kicked more than 3 goals (5 behinds as well).

Richmond were dominate on the inside and efficient on the outside in that quarter. They lead the contested possessions by 20 and their kicking efficiency was 66 per cent in the forward half.

We are getting the rub of the green from the umps especially some of these blocking frees look really soft. But most weeks we’re on the bad end of it so I’ll take it.

Anyone else rekn we’re taking this dusty playing forward thing a bit far? Barely played midfield last 2 weeks.

[¾ T!geɹ]

The poorest game I have seen brisbane play in a long time.

[mightytiges]

Cut out the too cute stuff Tiges.
