Richmond vs Geelong @ Kardinia Park --- Round 12, 2024

[pmac21]

Bloody late goals!  But great start.  Tackling well.

[Diocletian]

 Mansell you dud...looking forward to 2 more years of that substandard crap.....

Quarter time

Richmond  4.3-27
Geelong    2.2-14

Goals: Lefau 2, Martin, Baker.


Best quarter we've played all year outside of the Swans game.

The last 5 mins though we lost our cool heads. Wasted two open F50s and before our dumb habit of gifting the opposition a late red time goal  .

It's a good start but I don't see us maintaining this level considering how unfit we seem compared to the rest of the competition.

Graham has been the key to our success that quarter was instrumental.
McAuliffe was very good also.
Lefau looks very good as was Mansell.

Graham 6 tackles!

[mightytiges]

 

Goal to Cumberland. Bounce fooled Kolidjashnij   

Rich  5.3-33
Geel  2.2-14

[mightytiges]

Mansell did well to kill that against two Cats. Forces a F50 stoppage. Ends up with a Sonsie set shot 35 out. His third miss  and this was the easiest one.

34 - 14

[Buddysucks]

How about the umpire calling back the kick by Geelong. Guy juggles the mark and then quickly kicks it and the umpire calls it back because he marked it… that’s play-on every day of the week.

[mightytiges]

McAuliffe set that shot up. Out to Sonsie who finds Campell 30 out. Misses.

These are all gettable ones  .

35 - 20

[mightytiges]

Lefau too strong. Gets it to Sonsie over to Mansell in the goalsquare = Goal! 

Rich  6.5-41
Geel  3.2-20

[Buddysucks]

Sonsie has class, need him getting 20 touches a game.

[mightytiges]

Great F50 pressure Tiges 

McAuliffe two efforts. The centre clearance and then the F50 tackle that wins the HTB free.

Spoiled it though missing the set shot.

2.5 from set shots  .

42 - 20

[mightytiges]

Wet weather footy now.

Cumberland finds Lefau 40 out. Another miss  .

That's now 2.6 from set shots

43 - 20

[mightytiges]

Samson now from 25 out. We've got to kick these. Yes! That's better. Goal! 

Rich  7.7-49
Geel  3.2-20
