Hawthorn vs Richmond

The Tigers overran the Hawks with a brilliant second-half effort to register their third win on the trot. Tim Hunt has the Four Points Review.

I came into this game wondering if the Hawks would have made any defensive changes to try and stymie these attacking flourishes, and after 12 of 15 goals kicked across the second, third and fourth quarters, it seems whatever changes have been made will take some time to settle in. moving Balta and Baker back behind the ball, and moved his best half-back flanker, Jayden Short, into the middle of the ground. And to be completely fair, that’s what he’d been for the majority of his career – only twice has he kicked more than 60 goals in a season across 11 completed seasons of football. If given the chance again, I wonder if the Hawks coaching staff would choose to match-up the way they did. Coming into the game today, the Hawks had given up three scores of more than 100 points in their last five games. The combination of Lewis and Koschitzke seem primed to dominate this metric for the next decade. I don’t know exactly why Jacob Koschitzke was left out of the Hawks team for the first month of the season – I’m going to assume injury, because it sure shouldn’t be form – but in Lewis’s absence over the last three weeks, he has proved a decent target forward of the ball, kicking nine goals. Then with no bluster or carry-on, nor a whispered word or nod of the head, the Tigers, as they have done so many times in the last half a decade, flicked a switch and kicked 12 of the next 15 goals to all but end the game. Reader, I have been staring at that sentence for the last couple of minutes and must admit that the phrase ‘flicked a switch’ doesn’t really do the Tigers justice. Ultimately it starts with a few contest wins, and I thought that when the Tigers needed them the most, Toby Nankervis was the one who delivered. The big problem for them, and in fact all forwards, was that they are beholden to their midfield group, and for half the game today, the Hawks mids were well and truly beaten. Hawthorn and Richmond met at the MCG today in a game that will go some way towards deciding the final eight.

Worpel‘s snap sailed out of bounds on the full in what was a deflating moment for the side as it charged towards a potential comeback. The former best and fairest winner looked out of sorts and well off the pace before he showed some signs of life in the final term, in which he had six disposals and kicked a goal. “Hawthorn want the game to be in motion, they don‘t want to have to stop or go to a stoppage situation, they want to keep this ball moving from one end of the ground to the other, which they did well in the early part of the game,” he told Fox Footy. “This is the sign of a great side from a Richmond point of view, halfway through the second quarter they go ‘OK, we’ve got to change this up a bit’.” Lynch enters round 10 in as good a form as he has been since he kicked 63 goals to lead his side to the 2019 premiership. After a Daniel Rioli behind put the margin out to 35 points, the Hawks put together a remarkable sequence, kicking four goals in 10 minutes to reduce the margin to under two kicks with just under three minutes remaining. There were no late changes for either side. Jack Gunston took a mark in the goalsquare with just over five minutes remaining and put the kick through to put the Hawks in front. A sensational goal to Toby Nankervis made it two straight for the Tigers, while Riewoldt made it three in a row and brought the margin under 10 points. The moves saw the Hawks kick on the scoreboard, but some brilliance from Dustin Martin delivered an extraordinary goal from the tightest of angles, putting the Tigers back out to a three-goal lead. Both sides were wayward in front of goal early before Jack Riewoldt was awarded a free kick for front-on contact and converted for the first goal of the match. The Tigers were challenged early before getting out to a game-high 35-point lead midway through the fourth quarter, but Hawthorn stormed home in the final term to make the final margin far from comfortable.

Join me as I go over my AFL predictions, betting tips, and pick for Saturday, May 14, 2022. Can Adelaide upset the AFL odds against Brisbane?

- Sydney vs. I’m also backing Geelong to beat St Kilda, given that the Saints have lost each of their previous two matches. Despite showing glimpses of promise, the South Australians should be no match for high-flying Brisbane. That means the Crows have lost five of their eight matches in 2022. Although the Swans come into Round 9 on a two-match losing stretch, there is no hiding the fact that they have won five of their eight encounters this year. It wouldn’t be unfair to say that Essendon has made a terrible start to the season. Worse still, they conceded 100+ points for the fifth time in six outings. With Lynch leading the way, Richmond shouldn’t struggle to overcome off-form Hawthorn. Richmond, Port Adelaide, Geelong, and Brisbane are all expected to triumph on their travels, leaving Sydney as the sole home favorite. - Adelaide (4.50) vs. Today, I will be taking you through my tips and predictions for Saturday’s AFL matches.

Port Adelaide, who are on the rise after a horror 0-5 start to the season, pulled away with a run of five goals early in the final term. The Kangaroos have slumped to their seventh loss in a row after a week in which they made headlines for the wrong reasons. Richmond kicked six goals to four and had a six-point lead at the main break, extending that to 19 points at the last change. Gunston tried to return early in the second term, but only lasted a couple of minutes before he limped off and was subbed out of the match. Hawthorn troubled Richmond early and led by seven points at the first break, but suffered a major blow on the quarter-time siren when Jack Gunston was hurt in a marking contest. Richmond have survived a late scare to beat Hawthorn by 23 points in their AFL clash at the MCG.

Richmond co-captain Toby Nankervis and Shai Bolton have starred as the Tigers beat Hawthorn by 23 points at the MCG.

"We invited a lot of pressure from them. Pretty easy," Hardwick said. "I was really proud of the boys late in the game." "The fundamentals of the game were quite difficult to watch today," a frustrated Mitchell said. "At the end of the day, spoil. All of a sudden, they're starting to get their cattle on the park and they start winning," Hardwick said.

Richmond has knocked off a spirited Hawthorn outfit at the MCG.

The young Hawk got up and played on for the next minute, before Hawthorn's doctor took him downstairs for a concussion check. Martin spent a rotation in the middle of each quarter in the first half, but then he burst to life in the third quarter, weaving through traffic before just missing a snap early in the third quarter. In his second game back in action, Brownlow medallist Dustin Martin spent most of the game playing across half-forward as he builds his match fitness up after a six-week break. Shai Bolton was as influential in turning the game around as anyone on the ground. Then Toby Nankervis plucked a ball out of the ruck and snapped from the pocket, while Max Lynch hung off him. But they left the door ajar for a Hawthorn upset late before Jason Castagna and Shai Bolton put the game to bed with two minutes to play.
