Geelong Cats v Richmond Highlights | Round 15, 2022 | AFL

[@joememphis1571]

60,048 was the official attendance for the game of the season. I’m an American who has been watching Aussie rules football since it used to air on ESPN in the late 1980s to 2000. One of the most amazing sports in the world.

[@hubrismaydie3838]

I just wish it were more popular in America and hope that one day the USAFL league will be just as popular as the NBA & NFL and draws the same type of talented athletes that would choose NBA or NFL. I doubt this will ever come to pass however hopeful I may be... maybe by 2060

[@jaimieclutterbuck4170]

Mate I was at the game with my partner who goes for Richmond, I went and had a smoke after the 4th quarter started I honestly thought Richmond would steamroll us in the last so I delayed coming back, on my way up grabbed another couple of beers then got my seat and we were 17 points down I thought here we go, next minute jezzas put us in front then rioli kicked that goal and I thought we were gone, next minute Atkins Bursts out the middle and stengle runs on to it and Henry pack marks it and puts us in front again, the siren was sweet music to my ears what a game of footy!! Carn Geelong!! Fair to say I was in the doghouse that night!! 🤣🤣

I thought Richmond had the game after the rioli goal

[@adamaviation6236]

and if lynch did better we could’ve won, mainly because he missed an easy goal, though we had very average players playing with others who did really well such as rioli and bolton so we’re far from perfect and it’s not just his fault. its also worth noting that Geelong were very good in the center of the oval which we could not counter

[@pauldoherty6413]

Great game all round and great “home” win for Geelong in Richmond’s own back yard again!

Geelong really killed us. At first i thought we were gonna get thump by 50 - 90 points. But we put up a massive fight against the premiership contender. Only a good effort by us and played very well in the last half.

[@TigerTime3672]

@@telltellyn Indeed, Im a Richmond fan but the tigers game style must change in order for Richmond to not give away so many free kicks. This involves improving in our clearance/stoppage work as well as trying to get first to the ball more often in order to not give away so many sloppy free kicks.

[@CAPTAINLF]

Dont know about 90 😂 but it was a good effort from both

[@TigerTime3672]

Richmond fan here but gg Geelong, this was a great game to watch where I honestly thought that Richmond were in for yet another belting against the cats but through their perseverance and gutsy efforts they were able to make this contest turn into one of the games of the year. It is completely understandable to see a lot of salty/butthurt tiger fans (I am one them as well) but my advice for us is to pull our heads in and look back at this game as a way to improve even more for the rest of the year.

[@hiimyou4432]

The free kick count was a bit ludicrous, and somehow, even though you had 2 players out, still managed to comeback. That's impressive. I mean but at the same time geelong has like 6 key players out to injury, most notable of which being Dangerfield, Gary Rohan, Brendan parfitt, and shaun Higgins. the case could be argued either way, but nonetheless, it was still by far the best game of the year.

[@TigerTime3672]

That was intense. There were momentum changes I didn’t anticipate. Richmond looked gone, then Geelong looked gone, and then we got the final 10 minutes. Tyson Stengel is a STAR. That final play and mark by Henry was something else.

[@flynnstanfield7756]

Geelong were way to aggressive and to many head knocks. Umps should be ashamed for keeping the game going and making Prestia walk off and the cart wait. Also not gaining control of geelongs aggression which was careless and could have cause more injuries.
