[mightytiges]

Port player drops his knees in the tackle and it gets paid a high tackle  .

Short fumbles too much and is scared of contact.

[mightytiges]

Sonsie's kick from 50 goes to the goalsquare. Jack kicks the volley and it may have come off Cumberland's leg?

Anyway it's a goal to us  .

Rich  6.6-42
Port  5.2-32

Another unforced schoolboy turnover (Kmac) gifts them a shot  .

Lucky it gets touched by Nank on the line.

42 - 33

[mightytiges]

Pathetic Tiges! Where's the workrate? Too many Tigers ballwatching.

[mightytiges]

Some magic from Bolton kicks a goal with 9 secs left.

Rich  7.6-48
Port  6.4-40

Our pressure on the ball carrier is non existent.

Half-time

Richmond   4.4    7.6-48
Port Adel.   3.1    6.4-40

Goals: Bolton 2, D.Rioli 2, Lynch, Cumberland, Ross


Crap quarter overall both with and without the footy but we've managed to keep the lead thanks to a couple of brilliant goals from Bolton and D.Rioli.

 

[Tiger Khosh]

Lynch quiet that quarter. Getting ragdolled constantly but still think there’s a bag out there for him if he wants it.

A few concerns that have been around for a while.
1. Our pressure. Think our AVG age probably has a fair impact on this. However seeing guys like Sidebottom and Pendles pressure till last minute last night shows that this isn't an excuse it's a choice.

2. Our ball use from half back. Rioli is so important to us. We haven't replaced the brilliance of Houli. Rioli goes close but he needs help with rebounding. Short now plays a weird midfield role. Broad hasn't been rebounding as much he was start of the year. Our ball use in transition and decision making has been really off.

Happy to be leading but another game we should be hurting the scoreboard way more.

[Lozza]

Too many witches hats and poor execution, wow, some of the skill errors you would give a spray to an under 12 team. We can't even nail a handball, passes scewing off the boot, missing by metres. If we could execute our inside 50 entries we would be up by 30. Same ole same ole, heaps of forward 50 entries just wasted with poor decision making and atrocious skills.

[mightytiges]

Just 22 tackles in a half of footy. That's woeful.

Team disposal at just 69%. That's sub-standard.

Looking complacent again and likely to get steamrolled late and lose

22 tackles in a half    

everyone can crap on about whatever they like, but for me that is not going to win you anything in September. In fact thats elimination final 2013-2015 stuff right there
