MATCH REPORT
by JimJessTorp
I finish a fairly sh!tty week at work happy in the knowledge that I get to watch my beloved Tigers scrap it out on the MCG with the Swans. Whisky is in the cupboard and I am looking forward to a competitive game. Sydney are well known for a great tackling and awesome defensive pressure game, but can also spread and move the pill as fast as anyone when they need to. The Tiges are going to have to come ready to play. I feel nervous.
The Swans are missing Tippett, but the Tiges are missing Astbury. What noone knows is that the Umpires are missing their whistles. Wayne Cambell took them home earlier in the week for his missus to give them a good clean, but he then left them in the boot of his 1982 Toyota Corolla Thursday night but driven the Volvo to work the next day...
Luckily an old whistle is found stomped into the soft dirt near the umpires race just before the coin toss. The umps are just going to have to share it. If they can get the pea to loosen up enough to make a sound that is.
The first quarter begins and the Tigers, riding on a wave of energy emanating from the empty seats in the stands, fly out of the blocks. Goals to Reiwoldt and Edwards have the Tigers up by 12 points at the 10 minute mark. Franklin from the Swans has been well held so far by Rance with some physical smothering from Morris helping out and leading to a clear holding the ball. The umpires have managed to clean some of the dirt out of the whistle and call a good free kick.
Sydney are slowly working their way into the game. And a good passage of play leads to a Reid mark and goal.
As the quarter continues Cotchin and Martin are getting plenty of it. Hampson takes a mark right in front and kicks his first goal for the Tigers. The team get around him and, like excited puppies jumping up when food is carried out, they jump as high as they can to pat and ruffle the Hampster's hair.
At the 25 minute mark a Reiwoldt shot falls short and is sharked by Deledio who handballs to Miles for another goal to the Tigers. At the end of Q1 the Tigers are up by 18 points and Cotchin is on track for a 23,000 possession game. But there are some worrying signs as the Swans are starting to close the game down with extra pressure around the ball.
During the break someone hands the umpires a screwdriver to try to get the last of the dirt out of their whistle. It looks pretty clean now but the screwdriver has damaged the whistle a bit. Everyone hopes it will last to the end of game.
The second quarter starts with the Swans piling more bodies into each contest. For seven minutes the game chugs. It is like an under 7's soccer match, but with ARU rules and AFL players. It is not helped by the dodgy whistle that the umpires have to share, which clearly is on the blink and won't make a sound to stop the play for a ball up. It takes an eternity for each stoppage to arrive by which time there are 97 players crowding the area around the ball.
Franklin takes a mark 50 meters out and puts through his first goal. He has been well held by Rance who is showing what a class defender he is becoming. Five minutes of soccerugbyball later later Reiwoldt takes a ripper contested mark in the middle of three Swans players and puts through his second goal. Tigers by 20. Then Deledio shows some class and breaks free from the horde of players near the ball and kicks a great goal. Could the dam be about to burst? The Tigers have stretched the lead to 26 points. Keiren Jack and Rhys Shaw are carrying injuries and despite the Swan's attempts to get players around the ball Richmond are winning the game.
But then Franklin pulls off a juggled mark and slots through a goal, and a few minutes later a bad missed mark by Dea gifts Keiren Jack with a goal and at half time the Tigers lead is just 14 points.
The second half starts and it looks like the umpires have managed to each get a whistle now. Perhaps this will reduce the rolling mauls that have dominated the majority of the game so far.
Three minutes into the quarter Keiren Jack kicks another Goal, followed by repeated Swans inside 50's and rushed behinds and missed shots, until Reid takes another good mark and kicks his second. The soccerugbyball game we are watching is just a horrible spectacle. It is obvious that the whistles the umpires have been given at half time are cheap cereal packet ripoffs and they are missing their peas. So they go back to the old one that they have shared for the first half. At least it works. A bit. If you blow it juuust right.
At the 25 minute mark Franklin delivers a face-high don't argue and gets away with it whilst the umpire who has the dodgy whisle is focussed on trying to get the damned pea back into the whistle chamber. Franklin goes on to kick a goal. Swans lead by 5 points.
But then, in a rare moment of rapid ball movement, 3 game veteren Anthony Miles takes a good mark on the Tiger's attacking 50. And as the siren goes he puts through a clutch goal and the Tigers go into the fourth quarter 1 point in front.
The first few minutes of the final quarter are all the Tigers. But they can't hit the scoreboard. First Reiwoldt misses with a dribbled kick at goal, and then Cotchin misses from a set shot 35 meters out on a 40 degere angle.
From the ensung kick-in the Swans transtion the ball methodically to their forward line where a scrappy mess in the pocket leads to another goal to Franklin. For the next 6 hours, (it felt like six hours), a few behinds are kicked, about one kick is given for holding the ball, (doesn't matter who it is to as noone can explain why 50 other carbon copy examples were not called), as it looks the dodgy whistle has finally given up the ghost.
But no! It appears there is life in the old battered thing yet. Life enough to call a pretty fair holding decision against Rance on Franklin. This leads to Franklin's fourth goal for the evening and the Swans are up by 9 with 5 minutes to go.
But that is definitely it for the whistle as Deledio takes a clear mark just on the 50 in front of the Tiger's goal and it is called play-on as the ball is jarred loose by an arm grab from the defending Swans player. A few minutes later the Swans have some more missed shots on goal and the MCG timekeepers call last drinks and the game finishes with a win to the Swans by 11 points. The Swans have now won 9 games on the trot. By contrast the Tigers have lost 4 in a row.
I end the evening in quiet fury. Fury at the way the game turned out. Fury at the way it was umpired. And fury at myself for being furious.
On a lighter note, rumour has it that the now pea-less whistle has pride of place, mounted alone on a vast black-velvet covered wall down at AFL Umpiring HQ, where past, current and future AFL soccerugbyball umpires will be able to stare at it and marvel at how well the officials handled the very tricky whistle-free situation on Friday night at the 'G'.

Thanks to JJT for stepping up and providing a comprehensive report at the last minute. A great report and much appreciated.
In the voting this week Dusty continued on his merry way, racking up votes and consolidating his lead in the PREmier Fighting Tiger award. He is clearly having the best season of his career and if he could get some more support I am sure we would be winning more games. Miles also was prominent on the ballots and in the blink of an eye finds himself in the top 10. He just knows how to find the footy and is using it pretty well. His kicking for goal was a particular standout. Finally, for a guy that had 4 goals kicked on him, Rance was considered amongst the best. It was true, he pretty much owned Buddy for the majority of the night, but Franklin kicked goals with every opportunity that presented. In the form he is in, he would have kicked 10 against a lesser opponent.
Now we're off to take on the cellar dweller Saints in an attempt to find our 4th win of the season. No excuses.
Carn' the Tiges!
