I write words on the internet, I study at RMIT and I follow Melbourne FC. Once had a dream I missed a matchwinner in an AFL Grand Final....twice. I sometimes tweet tweets @dylcarmody77, so give me a follow and enjoy!

And just like that, the Tigers hit back. They find Castagna inside 50. He is 50 out, tough angle, and he can’t find the middle, it is out to the left.

Holding the ball for the Cats, and they go deep inside 50, Dangerfield drops the mark, but mops up his own mess and manages to find Stanley inside 50, who will kick from 30 out, right in front.
This will anger the Tigers if he kicks it, and he does!! After all of Richmond’s dominance, the Cats are in front!

Sun is out in Melbourne, and the weather has cleared up nicely. The Tigers are continually pressuring the Cats, but Geelong are holding out, but the ascendency has been with Richmond early on.

Another free kick for the Tigers, their pressure is immense,. He goes deep, it comes out and then back in again, but Grigg puts too much on it, out on the full.

Cats are moving the ball nicely, Fogarty goes long and deep, but Garthwaite wins a free on big Tom Hawkins, well done from the debutant.

Stanley wins a free on the half back flank for a ruck infringement, and they move it down the wing.

A free kick to start the game, to the Little Master for a block. He goes inside 50, but Vlaustin marks well in defence.

Danger and Rance will square off to start the game, full forward vs full back. “Let’s have some fun,” goes Danger.

Good afternoon and welcome to this Round 13 clash between Geelong and Richmond, taking place at the MCG! We learnt today that come October, the G will play host to the WWE, but for now, it will showcase two of the best teams in the AFL.
It is absolutely pouring rain at the moment, which will make it an extremely interesting game. The banner for the Tigers has come down with the wind and rain, but the Tiges make do.

Match Report:
Geelong have made it a Mother’s Day to remember on Sunday, after defeating a wasteful Collingwood by 20 points at the MCG
Both sides came into this contest on the back of wins the week before, but it was a blow to the Pies before the game started, with skipper Scott Pendlebury failing to get up from an ankle injury that he suffered last week.
Both Geelong and Collingwood went hard at the ball in the opening quarter. It was a tough contest, with goals hard to come by, until Jackson Thurlow broke the drought with a bouncing goal from 55 meters out.
The Cats went into the main break with a slender 7 point lead, and the second quarter was no different from the first, with bodies flying at the ball, but both teams struggling to score.
It wasn’t until the final minute before half-time that Stuart Crameri was able to quickly snap the ball out of a pack to give Geelong their first goal of the quarter, before the returning Gary Ablett kicked another only seconds later to give the Cats two on the trot, heading into the half time break with a 19 point lead.
After a goalless second quarter, the Pies came out firing, booting two early goals to reduce the lead to seven points, but Geelong were able to slow the play, and kicked the next 3 goals to push the lead out to 17 points coming into the final break.
The start of the last quarter was much the same as the second for Collingwood. They had plenty of opportunities, but struggled to convert, while Geelong continued to hold the Pies goalless.
Brodie Grundy kicked their first goal halfway through the quarter, but the equation became harder as the game went on, with Collingwood needing four goals in four minutes.
While the Magpies kept coming, Geelong’s pressure proved too much for Collingwood, with the Cats running home eventual 20 point winners.
The best for Geelong was returning master, Gary Ablett, with 32 disposal and a goal, whilst Sam Menegola led the goalkickers with three.
Collingwood were led by Adam Treloar with 34 touches, and Jack Crisp had 32 himself.
There were no injuries for Geelong, but the Pies lost Darcy Moore with a hamstring injury, and Tom Phillips due to concussion.
Geelong look to next week, where they take on a struggling Essendon outfit on Saturday afternoon at the MCG, whilst the Magpies will take on St. Kilda at Etihad Stadium.

FINAL:
Collingwood 5.15 (45) defeated by Geelong 9.11 (65) by 20 points.
Strong last quarter from the Cats. Kept the Pies to only one goal, and only five goals for the entire match. Their pressure was immense, they controlled the tempo of the game and strangled the Pies when they went inside 50.
Adam Treloar led the way for Collingwood with 34 touches, but it was the Cats who were the stars, with Gary Ablett picking up 32 disposals himself, as well as a goal, whilst Sam Menegola led the goal kickers with 3.
Thanks for joining me today, hope you all had a good Mother’s Day, and the match report will be up soon!

Pies get a bit of movement here, make the switch well and are in space.
They hit up Daniel Wells, on a bit of an angle, but only 35 or so out!
He trots in, but can’t slot it. Another miss.
