It was the Tom Lynch show at the MCG on Sunday afternoon as the key forward booted an equal-career high eight goals, securing Richmond’s spot in the finals in the process. agerealfooty
Richmond have secured their spot in the finals after a comprehensive win over Hawthorn at the MCG on Sunday afternoon, with Tom Lynch having a day out with eight goals and the side proving its surge-style footy will be a threat come September.
“We’ve sort of always known, and history has shown us along the way, you need to be playing your best footy at the right time. We’ve been playing pretty good footy at the moment, there’s some bits of our game that we could tidy up a little bit … primarily I walk away really happy with how we played.”
Some poor defensive structure from Hawthorn leaked goals to Richmond’s potent and crafty forward line, with nine different Tigers players contributing majors. They had no answers to Lynch’s height and damaging kicking boots. Dion Prestia was crafty as ever in the midfield and registered two goals, youngster Tyler Sonsie was impressive and Maurice Rioli did a lot with the ball whenever he got hands on it,Richmond’s key forward proved once again he can’t be given even a sliver of space, finishing the afternoon with eight goals, never faltering once from a set shot.
