Richmond vs Hawthorn @ the MCG --- Qualifying Final, 2018

[Owl]

Look like we settled in that second quarter.  Hawthorn looked blown towards the end of it. 

[mightytiges]

A dominant second term by the Tigers led by Dustin Martin. For the quarter, the midfielder contributed ten disposals, four clearances, two tackles and a goal.

Four of Richmond's five goals have been the end result of a disposal chain that began with a Hawthorn turnover.

Prestia held 70 out. Goes long. Rioli flies. Out to Macca who kicks his 3rd.

Rich  6.8-44
Haw  3.5-23

[mightytiges]

Grrr! Easy centre clearance. Then we needed to kill that deep in the defensive pocket and work to the boundary not allow them to get it back into the corridor.

44 - 29

[mightytiges]

Poor handball option by Nank to Caddy who was hot.

Well done Cotch. Saved the day.

We go down the other end. Sheds long to Caddy. Had his arms chopped with frontal contact but no free . play on Jack tap to Caddy who soccers it through.

It's reviewed again.

Hit the post.

45 - 29

[mightytiges]

Point to them.

45 - 30

[mightytiges]

Prestia brilliant out of the stoppage. Long towards Caddy but the Hawks 3rd up rush it through.

We get it back and Prestia slams it through from long range  .

Rich  7.10-52
Haw   4.6-30

[mightytiges]

Vision by Cotch to Dusty. Long barrel. Clever outside of the boot by Higgins. Rioli marks it but it's called touched and play on. Rioli tackled 10m out before he could get his ball to boot. Free to Hawthorn.

[mightytiges]

Great mauling forward pressure and Rioli goals  .

Rich  8.10-58
Haw  4.6-30

Grrr. Another easy centre clearance. Grimes and Rance did their best to spoil but Roughead left standing and goals for them.

58 - 36
