MATCH REPORT
by Streak
With their season well and truly on the line, the Tigers ventured North to a ground which has proved a happy hunting ground in recent seasons to battle the injury ravaged Lions. Few gave the Lions any chance in this one, but then, no one foresaw that a loss this early in the season could spell the end of any realistic prospect of the Tigers playing finals in 2014. For the Lions, it was all about Brown’s 250th game, and Leppa going up against his former team. Did he have the inside gen on the Tigers to spring a major upset?
On a night that looked perfect for footy, the Tigers opened the game according to script. Riewoldt latched onto an early kick into the forward 50 and delivered a goal about a minute in. It also delivered plenty of ammunition to those who have doubted the wisdom of playing a dual Coleman medallist full forward further up the ground.
But while the Tigers dominated the quarter, they had little to show for their efforts. Martin, also playing a more customary role closer to goal, got another goal for the Tigers but that was it. The Tigers led by 19 points at quarter time having had 10 scoring shots to 1. Richmond 2.8 leading the Lions 0.1.
The Tigers started the second quarter in a more settled mode, and Riewoldt and Martin doubled their respective goal tallies either side of Brown snaring the first for the Lions. But the scoring became harder for the Tigers, and with a fair bit of fumbling and poor decision making on show, Tigers fans started to feel a little edgy. Suddenly the Lions were running a bit harder, creating space and working off the ball, the result being that they kicked the last 2 goals of the quarter to get themselves back into it. At halftime the scoreline was Richmond 4.10 to the Lions 3.2, the quarter marking the first winning one of the season for the Lions.
The mild pessimism that seemed to characterise many Tigers fans at halftime grew to concern and panic as the Lions came out in the second half inspired. They were running hard, linking well, going direct, and they scored the first three goals of the quarter to snatch the lead. It was 5 straight goals to the Lions. Conversely, the Tigers’ work rate disappeared quicker than a meat pie in front of Clive Palmer. When Taylor goaled for the Lions to give them the lead, the Tigers found themselves leading the inside 50s 34-24, yet trailing and with plenty of passengers on the field. Those fans who weren’t stunned into silence were starting to vocally sharpen the knives for the coach.
The Lions hitting the front though finally seemed to galvanise the listless Tigers. Riewoldt started a momentum shift kicking 2 quick goals, Cotchin rolled one through and Arnot grabbed one as well. When Petterd poached a nice goal late in the quarter, the Tigers had responded with 5 in a row and a nice lead. Brown goaled just before the 3 qtr time siren for the Lions, but the Tigers still led by 19 points.
Gordon came on for Thomas to start the last for the Tiges, a move which, as it transpired, had a big impact on the game. Mayes had a chance to kick the all important first goal of the last quarter for the Lions but couldn’t. A minute later, Edwards who had not been sighted all game kicked a belter of a goal to give the Tigers momentum. He got the next 10 minutes later, then Gordon, showing great gut running, slipped in for three goals of his own while the Lions only managed one in reply to Cutler. Late goals to Martin and Brown heralded a 6goals to 2 quarter Richmond’s way and led to a comfortable but very unconvincing 43 point margin to the Tigers.
Cotchin and Brown were the standouts for their respective teams. Pettard showed a bit for the Tigers, and Rockliff got a fair bit of ball for the Lions. But you could raffle the rest, although James Aish showed a bit suggesting he is a bright talent for the future. If only his father had crossed to the Tigers back in the early 80’s.
In the end, this was an average game of footy that did little for the supporters of either team. Really for the Tigers it was 4 points, and hopefully a bit of form and confidence leading into two tough games against the Hawks and Cats. But many fans would remain rightly concerned about the lack of intensity in the Tigers play, and the ongoing issues with understanding of the gameplan.

A special thanks to Streak for providing a great summary of the Brisbane match with zero notice.
The game itself improves upon rewatching. There were a lot of positives in the game, along with obvious negatives, mainly due to wastefulness by the Tigers in front of goal. The game should have been over in the first quarter, but we left the door ajar, as seems to be our want and the Lions happily made a game of it in the third.
In the voting this week, the skipper was the obvious selection. A welcome return to form after a quiet game against the Pies, he will certainly have secured 3 Brownlow votes and was a consistent, 4 quarter player. Jack was also a common theme on the ballots this week. When he is playing well, we look such a different, more potent side. His ability to lead to the ball, make chances from nothing and apply scoreboard pressure is such an important part of our game when we play well. Petterd also had one his best games in the yellow and black, playing loose man in defense he swept up the ball all night and provided plenty of forward momentum. Any critics that have questioned his commitment or hardness would have been silenced on the night, as he put his body on the line on a few key occasions and won the ball each time.
This week starts the back to back weeks against the ladder's top 2. We will really catch a glimpse of where the Tigers are at and I look forward to seeing some competivie footy. We are playing our bunnies this week, after all.
Carn' the Tiges!
