A pretty lacklustre quarter. Sydney worked their way to the front. Richmond didn’t boot a goal and dropped away, in complete contrast to the first term. To sum up Richmond’s term .… Thomas Sims had a shot at goal after the siren, and he hit the post.
To be absolutely brutal, it’s a match absolutely fitting of two bottom six teams.
Half-time – Sydney 5.9 (39) lead Richmond 3.7 (25)
Will Hayward for Sydney. That’s three on the bounce for the Swans. It’s a low-scoring term (Richmond haven’t booted a goal) and Sydney go further ahead.
Q2, 19.49 – Sydney 5.8 (38) lead Richmond 3.6 (24)
Sydney are slowly, slowly getting on top. And it’s starting to show on the scoreboard. Former Demon James Jordon boots truly. Half-time is just around the corner.
There has been an issue with Sydney’s first-quarter score. It is being rectified. Standby for more information.
We’ll be doing an audit of Sydney’s goal-kickers.
It took forever. Scoring has dried up big time …
More than 13 minutes into the second term, it’s Isaac Heeney who gets the first for the quarter.
Q2, 13.24 – Sydney 3.7 (25) lead Richmond 3.6 (24)
Richmond haven’t blinked so far. They’ve had the better of the match and the task is in front of Sydney, a team of seasoned campaigners, to find their way to the front.
There’s the siren for the first break. Richmond take it by a nose. This match offers plenty today.
Quarter-time: Richmond 3.4 (22) lead Sydney 2.4 (16)
Very late in the first quarter … Chad Warner does it. The Swans keep Richmond in check. Match back on level terms.
Nick Blakey, who is running free and needs to be checked, slots one. Sydney end Richmond’s run. That, really, was much-needed. Sydney gave up a stack of goals in a row last week against the red-hot Crows … surely Richmond are a different outfit, but the Swans need to bounce back strongly today.
