GOAL. And another one. Freo right on top. This time it's Kersten who slots one home. That's four goals in a blink of an eye. Tigers in big trouble. They need to find a stop here.

The Tigers need to snap out of this (mini) slump. Even a narrow win today would do wonders for them. Three straight losses after five wins to start the season just doesn't look good. To Freo's credit, they've had the better of the game today and Brad Hill would have the three Brownlow votes so far. Dusty Martin and, to a lesser extent, Trent Cotchin are working their way into the game ... I'm expecting one of the two teams to get a run of goals in the third quarter. Right now, my feeling is that it will be Freo.
H/T: Rich 31 Frem 36
There's the siren for the main break. Not a great game overall. Freo had the better of the second term and hold a five-point lead.
Fremantle 5.6 (36) lead Richmond 5.1 (31)
Q2 Rich 31 Frem 36
GOAL. Dusty Martin! A really important goal in the context of the game. Strong mark close to goal but on an angle. The star boots truly. Tigers close the gap to five points after 26 minutes
A little of news for Melbourne from the VFL today. Just In ...
Q2 Rich 25 Frem 34
GOAL. Taberner extends Freo's lead. They're out to a nine-point break after 17 minutes ... It's a low-scoring game. Nine-point lead is pretty handy
Bradley Hill has had it 14 times for Freo. That's the most of all comers. Cotchin (12) moving up the board.
Q2 Rich 25 Frem 28
GOAL. The teams are trading goals. Kersten grabs his first for Freo. Dockers back in front by three points after 14 minutes
Then there's this point of view ...
Q2 Rich 25 Frem 22
GOAL. Castagna for Richmond. Good snap. Lovely handball from Rioli. Tigers back in front after 11 minutes ... Just a reminder the conditions are stunning at the 'G today. If you're anywhere nearby, get there. And bring your Mum!
