Richmond vs Melbourne @ the MCG - Anzac Eve - Round 6, 2019

[Diocletian]

Stage is set for a "backs against the wall" effort from Melbourne - who always grow an extra leg when they play us anyway...

Where would be the best place to park?

Julz, the MCG website is saying the car parks will be closed except for disability permit and pass holders only at gate 3.

There's a lot of road closures and public transport disruptions this month due to major road and metro rail tunnel works.

Arrive early
Security measures such as bag checks and patron scanning will again be in place as fans make their way into the stadium.

This process will take time, so please be patient - and limit the number of bags you bring. Each bag will be inspected, so the more bags you bring the longer it will take.

It is recommended that fans arrive early, as those who arrive later may miss the teams run out and/or the start of the match.

They really are pumping up Melbourne aren't they  .

We need to match Melbourne's faux intensity early on. If the Dees don't get any reward & confidence from it then it will fall away.

[mightytiges]

Top smother Rossy.

[mightytiges]

Same HTB non frees as last week I see. McDonald just dropped the ball.

[mightytiges]

LOL. We get pinged instantly and it's called HTB  .

[mightytiges]

Houli nice pass to Caddy on the wing. Hands over to Kmac who runs to 50. Kicks to the twin towers and Lynch waits out the back to mark. Goal! 

Rich  1.0-6
Melb  0.0-0

[mightytiges]

Terrible defending Tiges. Sheds shouldn't be left to contest by himself against their forwards for that high kick to the hot spot.

6 all.

[mightytiges]

Dumb Baker. Needed to switch the play and open up the field.

[mightytiges]

Geez we're doing dumb things.

It doesn't help when Gawn is allowed to push our players in the back in the contest.

Getting smashed in the centre clearances.


6 - 12

[mightytiges]

All our attacks need to start from defence.

We get forward to Caddy 60 out. Goes long and it's a point.

7 - 12

[mightytiges]

Another to them.

7 - 18

It's all starting in the centre. Gawn handing it to their mids on a plate.

[mightytiges]

Goal to George.

But we stuffed up another chance. Jack couldn't pick up the ball  .

We go inside 50 again but we're to panicky and they get out.

They go down the other end for a goal 

13 - 24
