Richmond vs Sydney @ Marvel Stadium - Round 5, 2019

[mightytiges]

Free for a push to Dusty in the centre. To the 50 and it's a ball-up.

Ross on the wing. Sheds to baker inside 50. Scramble. Lynch intercepts and swings in one motion but it's a point.

Swans almost go coast to coast (Ronk looked out of bounds on the wing). Thankfully Jack sprays it.

We get it Caddy on the wing. But his high kick to HF is marked by Sydney.

We get it back. Ross gives and gets it back at HF. However it's a helicopter kick and Allir marks.

We've come out just not switched on.

Swans player gets tackled 360 and it's not HTB.

[georgies31]

Got to steady now and switch on and keep up the pressure and let's keep it simple.

[mightytiges]

Ump actually helps us by getting in the way in the centre. However George's handpass is wide past Ellis and then Ellis lazily goes for the low-% around the body and sprays it.

A certain goal blown  .

[georgies31]

George skills a real bad and Ellis needs to steady keep it simple.

[mightytiges]

Floss with the saving tackle at HB.

This is slop by us with the ball.

Finally some clean possession. Houli to Higgo at HF. Called to play on. Inside 50 and Lynch marks 35 out. Hits the post.

61 - 32

[Assange Tiger 😎]

That was an easy goal for Brando if the handball wasn't under 8 level.

[mightytiges]

Keiran Jack drops it cold =  no free  .

[mightytiges]

Stack bursts but Lynch can't hold the mark on the lead. Ball-up. Swans clear.

Buddy goal.

61 - 38


We are playing some dumb hack footy this qtr  .

[pmac21]

Castagna can't even hit a 4 MTR handball target.  He's out next week

[mightytiges]

Dusty kicks it high to allow Bolton to mark. Called a free for chopping the arms. Misses.

62 - 38

[Damo]

That was an easy goal for Brando if the handball wasn't under 8 level.

Was still a poo effort for goal

Bellis going hard with the flight 30 seconds later was also under 8 level

[mightytiges]

Higgo drops a sitter on 50.

Bolton intercepts on 50 but his banana misses. In two minds whether to bounce or not.

We get it back but Dusty's snap under pressure falls short to a Swans defender (I wish out forwards played in front for that kick).

We get it back again and now Caddy marks and has a set shot on an angle. Kicks it! 

Hooray we finally kicked one this qtr.

Rich  10.9-69
Syd    6.2-38

[mightytiges]

Nank free in the centre. However Prestia hacks the kick 15m straight to a Swan. Fortunately they blow their chance and we escape.

Nank cuts of the Swan kick at HB. Over to Caddy. Astbury across HB to Stack. Houli wants his left and gets it Kmac who takes a tough contested mark. Goes long to Lynch. Dusty front and square crumbs a goal  .

Rich  11.9-75
Syd    6.2-38

Keiran Jack drops it cold =  no free  .

That is the epitome of what's wrong with umpiring these days. They love to pick out the little technical ones wherever they can to show how well they've read the rule book.

But when it's a clear and simple improper disposal and holding the ball its play on....
