Tigers vs Cats

[mightytiges]

Cats to good. All over us.

When we do get our hands on the ball we try to play more direct but everytime we try to go back inside the corridor it's high risk and we turn it over.

Another turnover. Cotch has made a few blues tonight but he's not the only one.

Cats get another two points from turnovers.

45 - 97

[Go Richo 12]

How is the backline holding up? By that i guess i mean Thirsty, Lukey and Moorey?

3/4 time

Richmond   2.2     4.6       6.9-45
Geelong      2.6     8.8     15.13-103

Goals: White 2, Richo, Morton, Riewoldt, Bowden

They pressure you into turnovers and then murder you.

This could get real ugly if it isn't already if we let it really blow out. Once again our 3rd quarter was our worst quarter.

Reasonable I guess given the easy the ball has come down. No one Geelong forward has hurt us. More their midfield. The problem has been the backline along with everyone else has turned over the ball.

Mooney  2.2
Johnson 0.2
Gamble  1.0
Lonergan 2.0
Ottens     0.0
Mackie     2.0


We've had 42 ineffective kicks, 15 ineffective hballs, 19 clanger kicks, 4 clanger handballs.

Bowden has a shot but off the side of the boot OOTF.

Bowden another chance goals.

51 - 103

[mightytiges]

Bowden kick inside forward 50 is smothered and the Cats run it the ground for a Ling goal.

51 - 109

[mightytiges]

They just showed on the tv Milburn slinging Edwards late and head first into the ground with his arms pinned  .

Richo marks. He's playing forward because he is injured they are saying. Goal.

57 - 109

[mightytiges]

Connolly says Tambling has certainly found his niche in defence. Daniher quips we're stil trying to find a position for Schulz as he's run down.

Richo snap misses.

Jack intercepts but misses also.

59 - 109

Surely he wouldnt be out there if he is injured? The game is shot and we have no incentive to keep him out there?

[mightytiges]

Collision of heads. Newy wobbly from Scarlett shirtfront.

Richo gets his 3rd.

Just repeating what they were saying. Richo's our only winning forward.

Schulz marks. Goal.

71 - 110

[mightytiges]

Free in the goalsquare to Lonergan.

71 - 116

[mightytiges]

Marks inside 50: 13 - 24

It shows it's not our night when the ball bounces over White's head who would've been running on goal and in lands into a Geelong player's arms.

Luke McGuane collides with Steve Johnson. Free to Johnson who goals. Luke came off second best.

Simmo has a corky too and limping. We've got a few sore players.

Cats our of the centre and another goal.

71 - 128

[mightytiges]

And another one. Blowing out again.
