Lions 30-18 at QT.

4.6 to 3.0. Brisbane used up a lot of ball to get a 2-goal lead. Richmond look very efficient going forward, so if they get a sniff, they will be back into it quickly.

Cracking game.

[Pies4shaw]

Brisbane are choking in front of goal. Richmond by 11.

[Magpietothemax]

Lions kicking themselves out of it. 4.10

[Pies4shaw]

Half time Richmond 7.3, Brisbane 4.10.

[Magpietothemax]

Brisbane's handball is brilliant, and their pressure has been equal to Richmond's. Should be at least equal, or probably have a lead at half time. Horrible inaccuracy has cost them.
I am enjoying this game because I really don't care who wins. So relaxing.
If Brisbane wins, that is good because Richmond losing is always good.
If Richmond wins, that is good too, because then we play the winner of GWS and Brisbane, who is a not as formidable opponent as WC (because WC will devour Geelong).

[Pies4shaw]

My take - our defence is better than Richmond’s and our forward line is better than Brisbane’s.
