20 mins in and we still haven't a single free kick  .

[one-eyed]

Raso long and Fawcett takes the mark in the middle of the pack 40 out. Goal!

That looked a mark to Kosi. But he gets to Wilson who snaps the goal

Samson stop punching the ball out to Lions players  .

[Tiger Khosh]

2nd quarter will be telling. Breeze we had in the first looks way too strong to only get a 9 point lead from.

Quarter time

Richmond   4.1-25
Brisbane     2.4-16

Goals: Alger, Fawcett, Lefau, Wilson.


Fawcett's contested marking has really improved in the last two matches.

Yep TK. Going to have to defend well and control possession in the 2nd qtr.

How is that not HTB? 

[one-eyed]

That was soft defending to allow that easy mark  .

25 - 22

[one-eyed]

Slack start to this second qtr. Nothing to do with the breeze. No intensity.

25 - 29

[one-eyed]

That's 50. Didn't give the ball back on the full ump.

[one-eyed]

They have free numbers at both ends of the ground. Just slack  .

25 - 35

[Tiger Khosh]

How did we have so few numbers in D50 for that goal? The ball has been living down there, not like they hit us on the counter.

[one-eyed]

Garner out of the centre and Kosi is held 35 out. Goal! 

Understatement to say we needed that.

Rich  5.1-31
Bris   5.5-35
