Richmond vs Port Adelaide @ the MCG - Round 18, 2019

[pmac21]

Stack needs a rest, looks so buggered. 

[mightytiges]

Prestia out of the middle. Spoiled. Port clear.

We get it back. Dusty to George on the bounce to Lynch and it's a throw-in. Port clear.

We get it back again. Houli to Floss to Graham who handpass is chopped off. Turnover.

Sheds chops it off defensively. Short on the run and hands to Prestia who goes low to Jack. Stack is tackled and it's a ball-up. Bolton back to Short who kicks it up and high and it's a throw-in at HF. Prestia can't break away and is pinged. Port clear.

No free to us in the middle  allows Port to go forward. Razor Ray pays a mark that doesn't go 15m  .

Thanks Razor. You might as well be wearing a Port jumper today.

59 - 43

Stack needs a rest, looks so buggered.

His back is playing up. He's been on and off getting it treated.
