Richmond vs Sydney @ the MCG --- Round 3, 2024

[mightytiges]

Diabolic free to Amartey? What the legitimate F

Amartey didn't take possession/fumbled so Miller got pinged. Unlucky.

[mightytiges]

Drop punt there, Marlion .

Not doing the basics just kills us.

[mightytiges]

Bad turnover by the Swans in d50.

Shai got the bounce in the goalsquare and goals  .

Rich  2.1-13
Syd  1.1-7

Nice long penetrating kick by Lefau allowed Lynch to mark that. Goal! 

Rich  3.1-19
Syd   1.1-7

A second soft goal to the Swans from a dumb/bad turnover  .

Good pressure. Mansell wins the HTB free on 50. Gets to the line but touched.

20 - 13

Balta's athleticism saved that. Lefau tripped and gets his first goal in AFL

Marlion intercepts in the middle and goes out wide to Lynch who takes the contested mark 40 out. Misses.

Quarter time

Richmond   4.3-27

Goals: Lynch, Manselll, Bolton, Lefau.


Good effort and pressure so far. Need to keep it up.

[Tiger Khosh]

Really liked that attack on the footy by sonsie just before. More of that young fella!

[one-eyed]

RIchmond takes a two-goal lead into quarter-time thanks to their strength in the contest. The Tigers lead contested possessions over the Swans by 11 and clearances by six; most importantly, they have ten more contested possessions and four more clearances than the Swans in their forward half.
