Richmond vs Brisbane @ the 'Gabba --- 2nd Elimination Final, 2022

[mightytiges]

Prestia subbed out

Not another soft tissue injury  .

[Simonator]

Prestia is a big out. Win or lose it’s been a good experience for our kids

[Simonator]

Why has he been subbed? He’s running !

[Andyy]

No ice on him yet. Jogging OK.

Maybe tightness and they decided not to make him ping it in case we win?

[mightytiges]

Half-time

Richmond   4.3    9.5-59
Brisbane     4.3    8.5-53

Goals: Bolton 2, Cotchin, Cumberland, Lynch, Martin, Riewoldt, D.Rioli, Ross.

Another fail for fitness crew. How does this happen after a week's rest and up north.

[Assange Tiger 😎]

He is a massive out. Cotch is going to have to be super again and others have to step up

[Simonator]

I think dusty has to and he will step up. Sonesie playing so well, Ross going for it. We have the cattle to step up in prestige absence. Go tiges !!!

[Andyy]

Edwards a good sub option. Hopefully runs the game out well after a week off and only half a game to go

[TigerLand]

Why did we sub with 1 min to go till half time. Ridiculous decision. Unless he had a broken leg, give him a half to get rubbed down.

nah. He would be playing if he was right

[FooffooValve]

We might squeak thru this game without Prestia, but not the rest of the finals. Fingers crossed its something very minor.

We almost broke them with that burst in the second. We would have already broken them if it weren't for the umps. If we can do the same in the third and get a fair crack we should be right.

[mightytiges]

Got to win or at least break even in the clearances especially centre clearances. They were dominating for a long patch in the 2nd qtr so all our attacks started from half-back. Once we won a few centre clearances we kicked those 3 quick goals in a row.

Part of it is defending the defensive side of stoppages and not giving up post-clearances. Nank is dominating the hitouts but we are coughing it up too much after getting first hands to ball and we're allowing the Lions mids to waltz out the front of the stoppage.
