00:01
We are off and underway in Cairns.
00:15

01:48
SCORE
BEHIND - Tigers (Matthew White)
03:20
GOAL SUNS - Brown with a perfectly placed well weighted kick using the breeze to Bennell who juggles the mark despite the best efforts of two defenders. Bennell works the breeze to kick the goal.
03:23

05:30

10:54
SCORE
GOAL - Tigers (Matthew Arnot)
11:00
GOAL TIGERS - Arnot gets around McKenzie before receiving the handball. Arnot doesn't crumble like a biscuit under pressure and finishes well to kick his first career goal.
14:00
GOAL SUNS - Shaw runs onto the edge of the 50 and kicks a beauty! That was a wonderful kick and the Suns are certainly using the breeze to their advantage.
14:01
SCORE
GOAL - Suns (Matt Shaw)
17:00
The Suns are leading but they could well be wasting a three to four goal breeze at the same time. The Tigers are doing a fine job absorbing the pressure.
17:45
BEHIND SUNS - O'Meara reads the hit out from the stoppage to perfection but his shot at goal misses to the left.
20:12
SCORE
GOAL - Suns (Sam Day)
20:20
GOAL SUNS - Day marks just forward of the wing but has the added assistance of a 50 metre penalty. Added with the assistance of the mighty breeze Day has no problem slotting it through. Costly.
22:00
Dustin Martin has enjoyed a good start to the match with 8 disposals. He leads the way for the boys from Tigerland.
24:00
Bennell with a terrible kick to the forward line the goes straight down Cotchin's throat. He had options further and could have even had a stab himself.
24:14
SCORE
BEHIND - Tigers (Jack Riewoldt)
24:20
BEHIND TIGERS - Riewoldt kicks it off the ground and goes to ground but the ball rolls to the left. He looks at the umpire for a free kick but he is told to get on with it.
26:00
The Suns are in control of play in the first quarter with 17 entries inside their attacking 50. The Tigers have only had 8 entries.
27:30
Cotchin getting into the game late in the first quarter. He has 7 disposals
27:47
SCORE
BEHIND - Tigers (Shane Edwards)
28:00
BEHIND TIGERS - Shane Edwards with a flying shot at goal from the stoppage but it's offline and through for a behind.
29:00
The Tigers have done well in the first quarter to limit the damage. The Suns only lead by 12 points despite having most of the play.
29:30
The siren sounds for quarter time with the Suns holding a 12 point lead. The Tigers get their turn to use this more than handy breeze. We are set for a big second quarter at Cazalys Stadium.
Quarter 2
00:00
Q2 is now underway.
00:01
The second quarter is underway.
00:45
Lets see what Richmond do with this breeze. They are a top 8 team and lets see them show us what they are made of.
01:45
Aaron Edwards is playing in defence in an unusual move for him given his history as a forward with the West Coast Eagles and North Melbourne.
02:30
Jaeger O'Meara with a set shot from the boundary. He is aware of the breeze against him. Nonetheless it grabs his kick and pushes the Sherrin out of bounds on the full.
04:30
Richmond applying some pressure to the Suns who still keep the bulk of the possession.
05:06
SCORE
BEHIND - Suns (Dion Prestia)
05:10
BEHIND SUNS - Prestia with a long range shot at goal which surprisingly carries. It bounces in the square but to the right of the goal post.
06:20
Brown marks it on the right side of the 50, 45 metres out. His kick is possessed by the breeze and dragged across the face of goal.
06:50
BEHIND TIGERS - Newman with a long kick attempting to set up King. But the ball keeps bouncing and hits the post before King can get to it. King punches the post in frustration. That would hurt.
08:30
Richmond need to work on their disposal with a lot fumbling and turnover caused by missing the target.
09:30
Riewoldt is playing as far up as the wing which is astounding given some long kicking with breeze would suggest he plays closer to the goal square.
10:27
SCORE
GOAL - Suns (Jaeger O'Meara)
10:30
GOAL SUNS - Nicholls marks just inside 50 and doesn't really want to kick it. It falls short where O'Meara marks. From 20 metres out O'Meara kicks the goal.
11:20
Richmond need to get their skates on here in Cairns. The Suns lead by 18 points and are looking quite convincing at the minute.
11:45
BEHIND TIGERS - Foley takes it off McKenzie and kicks it off the outside of his boot. It's across the face though and only a behind.
11:49
SCORE
BEHIND - Tigers (Nathan Foley)

SCORE
BEHIND - Tigers (Nick Vlastuin)
12:20
BEHIND TIGERS - Vlastuin from the edge of the 50 metre paint work runs in and makes the distance, but he doesn't have the accuracy to match.
13:35
SCORE
BEHIND - Tigers (Jake King)
13:40
BEHIND TIGERS - Jake the push up King would rather be Jake the goal King but on this occasion after marking 40 metres out, he drags the kick and a behind results.
15:30
The Richmond forward line is a like a mobile art gallery at the moment with Jake King and Aaron Edwards standing side by side.
