Richmond put a Crows miracle to bed, Broad to face MRO heat ... (The Age)

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick insists there was nothing sinister or serious about the Tigers' surprise call to place Dustin Martin on ice midway through ...

It was just in the heat of battle. Hardwick expects him to be available for the Collingwood clash. “We sort of haven’t had those bigger-bodied mids. Adelaide - Laird, Sholl, Fogarty, Dawson, Rachele, Walker. It’s something that’s been a little bit foreign to us but we’re getting better at it.” Best: Richmond - Hopper, Taranto, Balta, Prestia, D. We’re confident that he’ll play next week, but we’ll wait and see.” “We’ll wait till we get scans and work our way through that one. In the closing stages of that first quarter, Ryan juggled a clever mark and goaled with the second touch of his career to extend the Tigers’ advantage. He’s got a duty of responsibility - he knows that, and we understand that. We’ll work our way through those.” We’ll see how that pans out.

'Inexcusable' blunders, 'criminal' acts cruel Crows' comeback bid as ... (Fox Sports)

'Inexcusable' blunders, 'criminal' acts cruel Crows' comeback bid as Tiger facing BIG ban — 3-2-1.

“Nathan Broad had a bad incident in the first quarter with Patrick Parnell. It cost them a sizeable lead and in the end, they lost the game.” Dunstall doubling down on the Crows’ poor kicking, saying “they had enough shots at goal” and cost them the game. “Nathan Broad knows he’ll be expecting weeks on the sideline after that. They had the same issue last week.” “If I’m Matthew Nicks in the Crows box I’m having a conniption right now,” Dunstall said on Fox Footy. “It’s an impressive start from the Tigers, the Crows find themselves in a deep hole. “It’s been great from the Tigers. “The might be dangerous. Absolutely criminal,” Dunstall said on Fox Footy. “This has been impressive by Richmond. “It all started with a turnover.

AFL Round 2 Richmond survive second-half scare to down Adelaide (ESPN.co.uk)

The Tigers led by 45 points at halftime before the storming Crows snuck within one point with 13 minutes remaining at Adelaide Oval. But Richmond emphatically ...

Rhyan Mansell, in game 16, and Trent Cotchin, in game 288, snapped goals and when influential newcomer Ryan scored his third soon after, the Tigers were safe. The visitors were seemingly in command at halftime, 11.3 to 3.6. The trend continued in the second stanza as the Tigers cashed in on their ground-level domination with five consecutive goals, including two from Jack Riewoldt.

Adelaide v Richmond - A Different Lens - The Mongrel Punt (The Mongrel Punt)

The Tigers hit the road and walked away from Adelaide Oval with four points, downing a gallant Adelaide Crows unit. Jimmy Day takes a look.

They competed hard and were catalysts in the Tigers’ ball movement and spread from stoppages all day. The Tigers were more experienced and efficient when it mattered. They took the game on, got in the face of the Tigers players, and played the game on their terms. The Tigers turned the screws through the first half and ground down the Crows, getting themselves a sizable lead. The Crows stalwart kicked 2.2 and had 10 marks, and Balta had 10 marks – nine of which were intercept marks. As previously noted, control around the ball through stoppages and contested possessions played a significant part in the ebbs and flows of this game. When the game was there to be won in the first half, it was the midfielders leading the way for Richmond. In the final term, the Crows kept coming, but when the Tigers kicked two goals in quick succession, they broke their young challengers’ spirit and cruised to victory. Unfortunately, for their dominance, wayward kicking prevented them from taking the lead and forcing the Tigers to chase the game in the final term. In the first half, it was the Tigers of old. It’s widely established that the Crows are a young side – and that is most obvious through their midfield. Could the Crows run out the game or would the experience of the Tigers overwhelm them?
