Preseason AAMI community series: Richmond vs Hawthorn @ Devonport Oval, March 5

[one-eyed]

What was that kick Dan?

[one-eyed]

Great mark by Bolts on the wing. To Sheds at HF who chips to Kmac on an angle 35 out. Centres it. Hawks clear temporarily.

Hawk throw. Dusty finds Balta 55 out. Big bomb for a point.

1 - 0

[one-eyed]

Wasting F50 chances.

Not sure why Hugo would pass to Baker playing behind the taller Sicily.

[one-eyed]

Jack kicks the first.

Grabs the jumper.

Rich 1.2-8
Haw 0.1-1

[mightytiges]

And they wonder why we complain about how we get treated by the umps  .

A clear whack across the earhole and no free!  .

[mightytiges]

Throw-in deep F50. Baker crumbing goal 

Rich  2.2-14
Haw  0.1-1

[mightytiges]

Bolton long. Soldo almost takes a great mark in the goalsquare. Baker front and square soccers the goal  .

Rich  3.2-20
Haw  0.1-1

[mightytiges]

Cotch intercept. Dusty from 55 to the hot spot. Soldo almost the speckie. Jack crumbs but snaps a point.

We get it back from the kick-in. Dusty misses too.

22 - 1

[mightytiges]

Good use of the body by Gibcus at HB. We get it forward. Dan Rioli to Balta 55 out. Noah nails the long shot  .

Rich  4.4-28
Haw  0.1-1

[mightytiges]

Training drill so far.

Out of the middle. Prestia hands to Bolts. Grubbers one inside 50. Lynch hands to Bakes to George in the goalsquare = goal! 

Rich  5.4-34
Haw  0.1-1

[mightytiges]

Ill-disciplined 50 (Nank/Prestia knocking the ball out of the hands after a free).

Then another free to Hawthorn 10m out.

Stupid goal to give away. Only way the Hawks looked like scoring.

34 - 7

[mightytiges]

We get it back straight away.

Kmac outside 50 by the boundary in board towards Balta 40. Beats his opponent at ground level, gathers and goals  .

Rich  6.4-40
Haw  1.1-7

[mightytiges]

Lynch marks 45 out but didn't know what option to take. Just kick the goal Tom.

We get it back and Bakes finds Sheds 25 out. Goal! 

Rich  7.4-46
Haw  1.1-7

[mightytiges]

Free to the Hawks in the centre. Then they get a contested mark and goal with 12 secs to go  .

Quarter time

Richmond    7.4-46
Hawthorn    2.1-13

Goals: Balta 2, Baker 2, Riewoldt, Edwards, Castagna.

[mightytiges]

Hawks minus Mitchell & O'Meara = wooden spoon.

We're dominating the game across the park. Tarrant and Gibcus solid down back. Ball movement slick on transition. Bolts on fire. Winning clearances. Finding targets inside F50. 3 tall forward line working. Balta has 2 already.

Just need to cut out the dumb stuff which has gifted them their two goals against the run of play.
