Defensively not our best through the middle but you can forgive them for running forward to get a kick.  Jack should have 6

The Tigers with a comfortable lead at quarter time and despite the Suns breaking even in most statistics, its the inside 50 count of 18-5 in Richmond's favour that was the difference. For the Suns, Brayden Fiorini has a game-high 12 disposals.

Riewoldt's seven shots at goal is the most shots in a quarter that any player has had this season, beating the previous record of five.

They slot another but it's no score as we get the free kick (ran too far?).

Just going through the motions so far. Lifting when we need to then easing off.
