Richmond vs Sydney @ Marvel Stadium - Round 5, 2019

[pmac21]

Is it just me or are the umps missing a lot of free kicks to us??  Absolute crap. 

[Owl]

what the stuff is with the umpiring ??? They drop the ball in tackles nothing, we even look like it, and its stuffing free every time

[mightytiges]

OMG we actually got a HTB free. Advantage. Prestia to Caddy long to Dusty 1-on-1 mark 35 out. Goal!

His first for the year.

Rich  4.4-28
Syd   3.2-20

[Assange Tiger 😎]

Sensational tackle BEllis

[mightytiges]

Good transition starting with Floss. Higgo to Bolts who runs and bounces from the wing inside 50. Smartly keeps his head and finds Lambert. Goal! 

Rich  5.4-34
Syd   3.2-20

[Assange Tiger 😎]

Geez that's pathetic by Prestia

[mightytiges]

Dusty out of the middle to Bolts outside 50. Goes to George on the lead but can;'t hold it. Ball-up 40 out. Swans clear.

We get it back via good pressure. Prestia waits for Lynch but he's pushed under the ball and it's a throw-in.

Swans clearing kick marked by balta out side 50. Goes to the goalsquare. Scramble and it's a throw-in in the pocket. Swans clear.

It's pinged in and out of our F50.


Stack good mark with the flight. Goes to Dusty and he takes a very good contested mark on the lead. Misses from 35.

35 - 20

[mightytiges]

A couple of mistackles and running over the ball allows a goal to the Swans on the counter out of F50  .

35 - 26


Out misses are keeping the Swans in it.

[mightytiges]

Bolts and Floss run into each other and stuff up a potential goal chance.

Swans on the break but Stack saves the day against 2 Swans.



Our forward entries are poor this quarter. Swans are flooding back waiting to hit us on the counter. We need to be smarter.

[mightytiges]

Dusty's kick inside 50 is straight to a Swan.

However, the Swan defender kick across defence is straight to Baker who runs in a goals. 

We'll take that gift.

Rich  6.5-41
Syd   4.2-26

Inside 50s: 28 - 16

[mightytiges]

Stack again. We just keep it rolling forward even though it's sloppy and error-ridden. Bolts finds Balta on the lead 30 out. Goal! 

Rich  7.5-47
Syd   4.2-26

[mightytiges]

Prestia up and under from the centre clearance to HF. Ball-up. Swans clear.

Ump hasn't heard of man in front  . That was a mark to Houli.

Broad good contest stops Buddy marking 1-on-1.

[mightytiges]

Rioli sneaks up and nails Mills. We hit them on the break. Dusty mark and goal  .

Rich  8.5-53
Syd   4.2-26

[Owl]

These new young blokes are kicking arse!

[mightytiges]

Kmac to the wing and Lynch marks. Plays on and goes long to Dusty who can;t mark. Swans clear ot the wing.

Houli grounded handball to Prestia who goes long and Caddy marks/free on the siren. Goal! 

Half-time
