Richmond vs St Kilda @ the M.C.G. --- Round 22, 2025

[mightytiges]

That's what happens when you can't tackle. 

We are the worst tackling team in the league.

[mightytiges]

That's a better kick Mansell 

27 - 33


Credit where it's due. That was good umpiring with that advantage call.

[mightytiges]

Great chasing Lynch  .   

Misses again though.

29 - 33

Half-time

Richmond   1.0     4.5-29
St Kilda      3.2     5.3-33

Goal: Mansell 2, Balta, Armstrong.


Not pretty but a much better quarter as we kept the game mostly in our forward half. If only we were smarter with our decision making going inside F50 to make the most of it.

Richmond has trailed at half-time in 16 games this season, the most of any team, and has a win-loss record of just 2-14 in those games.

The Tigers pinned the Saints in their defensive half in the second quarter, having 68% time in the forward half and nine forward half intercepts, but they were unable to take advantage, scoring just 0.4 (4) from them.

If the Taranto was dropping the ball, then so was Hill's ump .

[mightytiges]

You have an open teammate leading and you burn him to kick long to a St Kilda mark  .

[Buddysucks]

The witches hat, Short is at his best again in defense.

[mightytiges]

Hard work but we finally got one. Kmac goals  .

In front! 

36 - 35

[mightytiges]

Why play on Mansell? 

[ajGreen]

Offer NWM a blank cheque

[mightytiges]

Lynch kicking like he's missed 5 weeks of footy  .

[mightytiges]

Seth you do that in the F50 not the D50.
