Goal-by-goal report: The new season gets under way at the MCG as the Tigers take on the Blues. Join Jonathan Howcroft for updates
Richmond’s ball movement has become antediluvian, just hacking it forward with biblical force to nobody in particular. Cowan is the latest to intercept, and the half-time siren follows soon after.Richmond play Russian roulette across their back line and Balta ends up in a world of pain. The Blues slow the game down again work the ball around the arc and find the industrious Kennedy in space in the right forward pocket. From the fence, he kicks a point.
Great work on centre wing by Pickett, Bolton, and Rioli. The latter looks certain to kick a goal but there’s a desperate late tackle from Saad to snuff out the danger. Excellent footy.The Blues look to hit straight back but McKay belts the ball into touch after marking on the lead from the centre clearance. Bolton – who is becoming the game’s dynamic force – then takes a hanger on centre wing, finds Riewoldt’s safe hands, but the move breaks down and the Tigers leave more points on the field.
