AFL Sunday Scoreboard
Vital Goal for the Dockers
Finally there’s an answer from Freo.
They rush the ball down the near wing, it bounces free inside 50, Shai Bolton Twists and Turns and feeds a handball inside to Michael Frederick, who snaps the dockers’ fifth.
That’s what fremantle wants from Bolton. More Please (Says Everyone Except Richmond Fans).
Tigers Conversion Keeping Them Ahead
So far the tigers have six goals from just 15 inside 50s.
Not sure if they can keep that going, but right now the dockers are struggling to get the ball into scoring positions.
What a ripper from Steky Green!
Richmond is Lifting here in the second term – they are forcing turnovers with their tackling and putting it to fremantle.
Now they’re attacking down the far wing again, and the ball drops to stale green – and oh my word what a goal that is!
He snaps one from the boundary on an impossible angle and it goes through!
He’s pumped and so are the tigers fans!
Richmond are on top here – they lead by 10 points.
Tom Lynch Puts Richmond Ahead again
The action has been back and forth to start the quarter, with both teams having forward entries.
Finally the tigers hit up tom lynch deep in the right forward pocket – and the richmond full forward drills it from near the boundary! What a kick, what a goal and the tigers are in front again!
The teams are back out
The hot conditions at Lyndoch has led to both teams going to the sheds at quarter time to stay cool.
We’ll see which team handles the conditions better than the game goes on.
UMPire Paul Rebeschini is back out there
That’s a relief – umpire Paul rebeschini is back on the ground after he was cleaned up in the first quarter.
I’m sure he’s sore but smooth he’s bone ruled ok to Continue.

QT: Fremantle 4.4 (28) Leads Richmond 4.2 (26)
A late Chance for richmond led to a rushed behind, but the sir is going to end an exciting quarter.
Lots of lead changes, and some different fashions of attack. Richmond will be happy with their start, but they have to find a way of stopping josh treace, who seems to have his mind set on single-handedly working over the tigers.
Dockers Retak the Lead
The Dockers Hit the Front Again! They had repeats forward entries, and forced a holding the ball call.
Murphy Reid Kicks Freo’s Fourth, and they lead by three points.
Tough afternoon for the ummire
It’s not just a physical game for the players – UMPIRE Paul Rebeschini Was Minding his business and watching the play when he collided with Richmond’s Jayden Short and was left winded on the ground.
He got up and tried to continue, but he’s leg told he has to go off and for now we are down to three umires for the game!
Josh Treaky Misses A Chance for Four in a Quarter!
What did we say about josh treace? The dockers are targeting him like no one’s business, and he took another market in attack, but his kick from distance in front just drifted wide.
The strategy seems to be working for fro, though.
Shai Bolton Just Misses Out on a Big Hanger!
That was exciting! Shai Bolton Went Up for a Big Leap, and Came Down with the Ball But It Spilled Before He hit the ground.
The Tigers Defender Caught Him with His Hip in Mid-Air, so the free was given rather than the market. #Boo
Josh treace is having a big start to his day
The tigers will want to find a way to keep josh treaky quiet – the dockers’ tall target is looking so dangerous so far.
Richmond back in front
There was a bit of everything in that – richmond were attacking, but a poor kick was chopped off by Brennan Cox in D50.
Unfortunately for fro his clearing kick sailed too long and was intercepted, richmond got it to tyler son, who market on 50 and went back and nailed the kick!
Another lead change, it’s richmond by 5.
There is no hanging around here
This game is being played at a breakneck pace, we’ve had six goals in a dozen minutes and neither defense looks too comfortable out there.
The Dockers have taken three marks inside 50 – and they’ve all led to goals!
We have a shootout early on!
That was much needed for fro. They moved it down the far wing, before a long kick to josh treace.
The Dockers Spearhead Marked and Goaled.
And now they’ve done it again! It was like deja vu with another break down the wing and a kick long to the square from Shai Bolton. Treacy was isolated again, and he could not be moved off the ball.
He snaps his third, and scores are level!
Tigers on fire in the Barossa!
This is worrying for fremantle – the tigers are taking it out of the middle with impunity.
That time they earned a downfield free, but seth campbell could not finish.
But this is really dangerous for fro.
Back-to-back goals for Richmond!
The tigers are definitely trying to go direct with the aid of this big breeze.
First a move down the corridor led to a goal from Kamdyn McIntosh, and then another move with slick handball and a kick inside 50 Saw Maurice Rioli Take a grab.
He kicks his second, and richmond lead by 11!
An Early Miss from Shai Bolton!
That was lucky for richmond – they were trying to find an avenue to go long, but the ball was smothered and turned over.
It came to shai Bolton, who ran to 50 and unloaded … but it missed to the right. It shows how dangerous he is, though.
