Richmond vs GWS @ the MCG - Round 17, 2019

[pmac21]

Their mids dominated that quarter with Whitfield running around unopposed for most of it. 
Reckon they had the wind that quarter. 

[mightytiges]

Need to fix up the stoppages and contested footy. Got owned that quarter. They had the numbers at the fall of the ball and won the clean clearances putting us under pressure and starving us of the footy forward of centre. We only got goals from defensive-half transition.

Getting smashed at the centre bounces. We're having to set up all attacks from HB.

True.
They clamped down on Prestia that quarter and no one else stood up for us in the middle. Martin and Cotchin have been very poor And not clean with their disposal in close.

Our pressure in the first wasn’t there in the second. 

They also are working through Eggs and he’s not coping too well.

Agree. Cotch and Sheds only 7 possies each to half-time while Prestia barely touched it after having about a dozen possies in the first. Our leaders all need to lift. One of them if they are getting it themselves should lock down on Whitfield.

Eggy's opponent Daniels is proving dangerous. Stack didn't touch it much that qtr either so we may have to throw him down back if the Eggy-Daniels match-up gets out of hand.

[mightytiges]

Ellis snap misses.

44 - 29


Need to take our chances, Tiges!

[mightytiges]

Deliberate paid against Shaw. Soldo asked to take it by the ump when Jack wanted it. Banana misses.

45 - 29

[mightytiges]

Point to Whitfield.

45 - 30

[mightytiges]

Cut out the short handballs in the wet weather  .

Turnover and they get the goal 

45 - 36

Freaking dumb footy.

[mightytiges]

Lynch threads it to Jack but he misses.

We get it back. Lynch to the goalsquare and it's rushed.

47 - 36

We're missing while they are taking their limited chances  .

[Buddysucks]

Lambert, 50/50 ball in the middle, 1 against 4 and elects to tap it instead of taking possession. Leads to an easy goal to them!!!

[mightytiges]

Finally!

Bad kick-in by the Giants and Lambert goals. We'll take it!

Rich  7.11-53
GWS  5.6-36

[mightytiges]

Free kick set shot to them. Thankfully Daniels misses everything.

[mightytiges]

Too easy for them, Tiges. Where's the pressure?!

53 - 42

[Buddysucks]

We are going to get overrun if we keep up this run and gun style. They are getting several players ahead of the ball sweating on our turnovers.
