Practice match: Richmond vs Geelong @ GMHBA Stadium, Sat. Feb 26

[mightytiges]

Umps finally realise we're out there. 50 to us. Out to Kmac on the outer HFF who cleverly kicks on the outside of the right to George 35 out. Misses.

28 - 27

[mightytiges]

Our skills have been sloppy this quarter. Too many straightforward kicks and handballs missed.

We get it forward to Dusty. Long kick and Soldo tackles Stewart to win the HTB free 25 out (Hooray we finally got one!). Goal to Ivan  .

Rich  5.4-34
Geel  3.9-27

[mightytiges]

Dusty straight out of the centre and hits up Lynch who marks 45 out. Beautiful kick from 50 straight through the i-diddle-diddle  .

That's 3 to Lynch. Up yours Robbo! 

Rich  6.4-40
Geel  3.9-27

[mightytiges]

Lovely tap by Nank to Dow for the centre clearance. Stewart hears footsteps and fumbles. Sheds goals  .

Rich  7.4-46
Geel  3.9-27

Better from our mids in the last 5 mins.

[mightytiges]

Umps give the Cats a free to give them a centre clearance. Cameron marks in front of Gibcus. Goal to them.

46 - 33

[wayne]

Not sure what the free against Dow was for 

Cats have gotten away with two dangerous tackles so far. 

[mightytiges]

Prestia with the centre clearance but Geelong marks. Again we are burnt on defensive transition. Too much space and 15m off a man. Hawkins beats Tarrant in the 1-on-1.

46 - 39

[mightytiges]

Not sure what the free against Dow was for 

Cats have gotten away with two dangerous tackles so far. 

Dow free for being a Richmond player  .

[mightytiges]

LOL. What was that for? You're not allowed to even look at your opponent now  .

[wayne]

Nank taken high in ruck contest, free to Hawkins.

New year, same umpires

[mightytiges]

Geelong player was 5m over the mark and the ump allowed it because we played on  .

[mightytiges]

Again the Geelong player wasn't on the mark. Stand rule doesn't apply to Geelong  .

[wayne]

Couple of good things from Gibcus late in the quarter

[mightytiges]

4 pts up at half time.
