Richmond vs Brisbane @ the 'Gabba - 2nd Qualifying Final, 2019

[Andyy]

^ by well I mean at least we've laid plenty, missed heaps too

[Lozza]

Cotchin and caddy excellent that quarter.

Still missing too many tackles in my opinion. We need to stick tackles and smash them.

Tackling around the arms might help, we seem to be tackling too much around the waste, such a simple thing to do but we continually allow opposition players to get the ball away.

Four unanswered goals in the second quarter give Richmond the lead at half time. It was a tale of accuracy in that second quarter, with the Tigers kicking 4.1 (25) from inside 30 metres to goal, while the Lions kicked 0.4 (4) from their shots on goal from the same distance.

After Richmond played on from a mark 40 percent of the time in the first quarter, there has been a shift in this second quarter, with the Tigers playing on from a mark just 20 percent of the time in this quarter. In comparison, the Lions have typically stopped after marking, playing on just 13 percent of the time so far tonight.

Prestia hands to Sheds out of the middle long and Dusty's jumper is grabbed. Goal! 

Last 5 goals to us.

Rich  8.3-51
Bris   4.10-34

[mightytiges]

Every time we hang onto the ball in the centre clearance rather than just kicking it forward we turn it over  .

[mightytiges]

Poor kick Rioli. Hung too long although Bolton should have been better there.

[mightytiges]

Great stuff Tiges. Taps and kicks on. Transition out of defence goal to Rioli  .

Rich  9.3-57
Bris  4.10-34

[mightytiges]

Graham out of the middle. Rioli front and square dribbles it ... hits the post.

58 - 34

[mightytiges]

Throw-in in the pocket. Dusty crumbs his 4th 

Rich  10.4-64
Bris    4.10-34

[mightytiges]

Forward pressure forces Hodge to kick it OOTF. George bangs it back in and Lynch takes the contested mark in the pack. Goal! 

Last 8 goals in a row.

Rich  11.4-70
Bris    4.10-34

[mightytiges]

Ellis that was soft.

[mightytiges]

All over them.

Force the turnover and Caddy bangs it home from 50 on the run  .

Rich  12.4-76
Bris    4.10-34

[Buddysucks]

Is Ellis a baby Giraffe on roller skates disguised as an AFL footballer?

[mightytiges]

Grrrr! They are only scoring off our dumb turnovers  . Thankfully there's only been that one this qtr.

76 - 41

[mightytiges]

Playing a man down with Ellis tonight. Went the bump there instead of the tackle .
