[mightytiges]

Inside 50s 2nd qtr: 16 - 6.

Kicking far more than handballing this qtr too.


Markov finds nank inside 50 but it's paid a free to Melbourne.

Balta wide to Lambert who centres back to Broad. Goes long. Throw-in and Melboujrne clear.

Balta in the way again. His 6th mark. But he kicks it straight to Preuss down the line.

Balta in for R1

Also like Collier Dawkins he has good presence for a young kid and does nice things.

Richmond has pulled back its 22-point deficit at quarter time to level the scores at the main break. In that term the Tigers flipped the script with four more centre clearances and 76 per cent time in forward half.

Disposals:  189 - 172  (cont. 75 - 80).  We had 66 kicks and just 27 hballs that qtr. Much more efficient.

Clearances:  22 - 23  ( centre: 9 - 9).  So we got on top in the clearances that qtr too to even them up.

Inside 50s:  31 - 23  ( marks in50:  11 - 5 ).

Tackles:  27 - 42

Hitouts: 16 - 22

Frees: 9 - 15


Possies:
Dusty  15
Houli  14
Short  14
Broad  13
Prestia  12
Higgins 12
Balta     10
Lambert 10
Cotch  9

First 5 mins in the Melbourne's forward line but we hold them out.

Eventually we clear. Weller to Soldo to Lambert and hits up Jack 35 out. Misses.

Well we're in front.

57 - 56

[mightytiges]

Cotch to Houli to Markov who finds Weller. Gets it back. Rioli to Lambert to the goalsquare but Nank is spoiled by McDonald for a point.

58 - 56

[mightytiges]

Markov intercepts at HB. Ends up with Weller 70 out. Goes long but Jack can't mark and it's paid a free to the Dees.

Astbury good spoil. Floss finds Ellis at HB. Goes to the wing. Ross to HF but ordinary kick and Melbourne clear. They rebound but thankfully finally miss a shot.

58 - 57

[pmac21]

Dan Butler who I rate has been exceptionally poor. 

[mightytiges]

Rioli cleverly to himself then to Higgins. Weller marks inside 50 but tries to find jack instead of going for home. Ball-up. Nank off the pack grabs it and goals  .

Nank with 3.

Rich  9.10-64
Melb   9.3-57

[mightytiges]

Good transition. Balta to Jack in the pocket. Centres to Butler 35 out. Misses.

Goalkicking practice needed this week.
